Someone on our 21 Day Accelerator was asked what win they were most proud of so far.
Their answer?
âMy family can now speak to me without getting their head bitten offâ
Not a weight loss number.
Not a PB.
Not a before & after photo.
Just someone who was running on empty, stressed, going through the motions with no real structure or enjoyment in their day.
3 weeks of showing up, moving their body, having a laugh & having something thatâs theirs.
And the people closest to them noticed before they did.
Thatâs the power of what exercise & community can do.
Yeah the physical stuff matters.
But this is the bit that matters more.
If youâve been thinking about trying the 21 Day Accelerator, this is your signâŠ

The scales only tell you one thing, your weight
They don't tell you anything else
Two people can weigh exactly the same and look completely different, depending on things like muscle, body fat, even how much water they're holding that day
So if you've got a bad relationship with the scales or they're the only way you're tracking progress, here's a few more measurements worth taking
Circumference measurements
Your waist, arm, thigh. These can shift even when the scales don't move especially if you're building muscle while losing fat. One of the most underused ways to actually see what's changing
Progress photos
These highlight changes that don't always show up as a number. Two people who weigh 70kg can look completely different depending on training, muscle and lifestyle
Clothing
The work trousers you wear every day. That dress that felt a bit tight last month. If your clothes start to feel looser progress is happening, whether the scales agree or not
Strength progress
Shifting the focus from how you look to what you can actually do is a nice change of pace for a lot of people. Watching your lifts go up shows you what your body's capable of not just what it weighs.
If the scales are the only thing you're using to track progress save this post and start using some of these insteadđ

Getting older is inevitable as much as some of you fu***rs try to avoid it..
But falling apart as you age doesn't have to be.
3 things that make more of a meaningful difference as you age, note none of them involve freezing your face
1. Eat enough protein.
Your body becomes less efficient at holding onto muscle the older you get. Protein is the main thing that slows that down & most people aren't eating nearly enough of it.
2. Lift something heavy.
Not just for people who want to look a certain way.
Strength training keeps you stronger, more balanced & more independent for longer.
The alternative is slowly becoming someone who needs help getting off the sofa.
3. Eat like you give a s**t about yourself.
Plenty of variety, plenty of colour, food that actually does something for you rather than just filling a gap.
Donât make it complicated & be consistent.
Iâm feeling generous so hereâs a bonus one for youâŠ
4. Manage your stress.
Chronic stress ages you & kills you faster than almost anything. Walk, get outside, do something you actually enjoy, have fun & talk to someone if you need to.
You might be thinking well none of this is groundbreakingâŠ
And I would agree but most people find out theyâre not doing these & they should've started sooner!
Don't be most people.
Donât be a bitch.
Look after yourselfđđŒ

This is what coaching actually looks like
Not just standing there counting reps
But giving you different cues to help you nail the movement
Constantly assessing your technique to make sure youâre moving safely & effectively
Watching how the weight moves to judge whether itâs the right load for you
Shouting words of encouragement to help you push through a heavy set
Feedback to help you keep improving
The last thing we do is just stand and count reps
(And itâs not just because we canât count)
Save this for the next time someone says PT is just standing there counting reps so you can show them this

You know one of the sneakiest things that can stop you from losing weight isâŠ
Stress
Itâs often overlooked
Or if youâre like some of my clients you maybe brush it off as nothing
But it has a funny way of creeping in to pretty much everything without even realising
It can impact your nutrition. Your food choices, how often you eat, how your body reacts to what you eat
It can impact your training. Your focus in sessions, how heavy things feel, your ability to push harder, your recovery
It can impact your sleep. Stopping you from falling asleep, waking you up in the middle of the night, feeling shattered in the mornings
This is why we check in with each of our clients regularly to see how theyâre doing & to see where stress is at
Because training, nutrition, recovery & sleep all have a big impact on their progress and stress has a big impact on all those things
If you feel like your weight loss has stopped, check in with yourself and assess whether stress might be having an impact
And give this post a save so you can go back to it
You can do sit ups until the cows come home but it's not going to get rid of your belly fat
It's a myth that I thought had finally been busted
But someone asked me the other week if doing more sit ups would get rid of the belly they hated
And I get the logic
If you exercise the area then you would lose body fat from there
But alas that's not quite how it works
If you want to get rid of your belly you need to lose body fat in general
Which comes down to eating less calories than your body needs
Not doing 50 million sit ups a day
So what actually helps?
A calorie deficit, some resistance training to hold onto muscle while you lose fat and enough consistency to stick at it long enough to see it through
Sit ups aren't pointless though
They're great for building core strength
Just don't expect them to shift the fat sitting on top of it
Save this post for the next time someone tells you that the best way to get rid of belly fat is by training your belly so you remember they're talking s**tđ©

Jade was doing everything herself.
She knew how to train, knew how to perform the exercises, but was constantly second guessing whether what she was doing was actually going to work.
Jumping from one random online plan to the next.
Always doubting herselfâŠ
âItâs just mentally tiringâ
đđŒHer words not mine.
She reached out wanting something built specifically for her so she could just get on with it without the noise in her head.
So thatâs what we did.
And 12 weeks later sheâs 7.2kg down, getting stronger & sheâs starting to figure out her own nutrition when life throws a curve ball.
But honestly the bit that got me most was this message she sent me recently.
âKnowing I have you in my corner that I can message at any time about training, nutrition, supplements, mindset, progress is comforting and gives me a sense of confidence in doing what Iâm doing. Also I can message you something completely random and you donât judge me, youâll normally have a laugh or throw me a shovel to dig myself further down a rabbit hole, like your just as weird as meâŠ
Thatâs a good thing btwđâ
Results and feeling like that at the same time, thatâs the goal, thatâs all I want reallyâŠ
Proud of her!
Am I really that weird?đ€

You don't need a better programme, you need a bedtime
Following on from Tuesdayâs post, hereâs 3 tips to actually improve your sleepâŠ
1 - Parent yourself
Set a bedtime and actually stick to it, the same way you would do with a kid
Yes staying up to watch one more episode sounds like a great idea but this is the lack of structure that leaves you wondering why youâre tired all the time
2 - Give yourself a chance to wind down properly
Turn off your screens (yes that includes your phone) at least 30 minutes before bed
Do something you find relaxing like reading, stretching, meditating, whatever you find helps switch off your brain
3 - Have a consistent wake up time
Yes even on weekends
It doesnât have to be exactly the same but waking up at a similar time every day helps your body clock and keeps a solid sleep routine
Save this for when youâre trying to sort out your sleep
