This morning I spoke to a lady enquiring about services and the same concern that she has had with fitness comes ups time and time again.
That is lack of time and a unpredictable nature of when I can workout and stick to my training regime to promote fat loss, vitality and strength in functional movement.
“What if I try and then things come up, I lose track and fail”.
That’s not a surprise and it’s no fault of anyone that work gets in the way of promoting health and fitness.
But before you know it, weight has been put on, your energy is low and it becomes a vicious circle of poor eating habits, increased stress in mind and body and weight gain.
The trick is learning this, well a couple of things actually.
First - there is never a perfect time to start, just get in there, mix it up and get going.
Secondly - You always have time to perform activity that creates a benefit, it’s just knowing what to do.
There are good pieces of equipment. I use equipment a lot but I am not dependent upon it.
You don’t need a gym. In some cases a gym and the equipment in there is the last thing that you need. All you need are open spaces, just a few square feet is all it takes.
you don’t need an hour or more. Believe me, some of my routines take 20 minutes sometimes and I am blowing hard. Shorter or not, these routines give me more pleasure and benefit than 95% of other routines.
They keep me lean, fit and strong and are a tremendous stress buster. I go back to work feeling invigorated, fresh and able to concentrate better.
Train in a spare room, outdoors, use your own weight, set your time limit and hit it.
Here is a workout I did the other day, 300 reps of a select few exercises that targeted the whole of my body, my strength and endurance. Performed as many times for 20 minutes and I was beat. Then it was back to work, satisfied, fresh and performing to my best.
(This workout was actually contained in a post a couple weeks back so here are the exercises. I’m going to be using a lot more videos soon as samples of workouts and best equipment for the job).
Bottom line - There is always a way, it’s just knowing the right way and your shape as well as your fitness and motivation will benefit tenfold.
I guarantee it.

Hi Mike,
When someone says: “What if I try and then things come up, I lose track and fail” - whatever you say won’t be good enough.
So ask them: I don’t know .. “What if you try and then things come up, you lose track and fail” …. [answer] .. OK and how likely is that? 7/8/9 out of 10?
.. Right and if 4 wks pass, and you’ve taken no action, what difference will that make?
If you get a high score to the first question and a muted response to the 2nd - say you’re right, that’s what will happen.
But when you’re ready to really make a go of it - call me, I’ll be ready to give you the necessary support, direction and motivation.
