Bit of a cringe post but sure look.
Very happy with how this year has gone gym wise, first 2 pictures are from December 2020 and last 2 are from December this year. Very happy with it considering the first 6 months I didn’t do much while gyms were closed.
Looking forward to 2022 and what the year brings, happy new year everybody 🙂

Thinking of starting the gym come January?
Well don’t.
Honestly don’t, and there’s a 2 main reasons why you shouldn’t.
Firstly why wait 6 weeks when you can start now? Secondly and most importantly, everybody else will start going then, the gyms are going to be packed, if you have to book to go to the gym it will be a nightmare trying to get a booking and when you are there it will be so packed you won’t want to be there and or go back. Gyms aren’t massively busy in November and December, so it’s the perfect time to start, if you’re starting out for the first time it will be a lot easier to learn things in a quiet gym rather than a hectic busy one.

Let me tell you why you need to be taking your sleep more seriously
1. Sleep builds and repairs your muscles
2. Sleep increases your strength and energy levels
3. Sleep naturally boosts your testosterone levels
4. Sleep improves your mental focus.
5. A lack of sleep will make you less motivated
6. Studied have shown that sleep deprivation has led to weight gain.
So get your sleep in, somewhere between 7-9 hours.
CHANGE THINGS UP
Although the vast majority of the exercises you do in the gym are the same in week in week out (as they should be), always be willing to try new things, new methods of training, something to keep you from getting bored, which will inevitably lead to a lack of motivation.
