LESSONS FOR LIFE

01

Starting Is The Hard Bit

‘Don’t overpromise: just pick up a pair of dumbbells and get moving. Before

starting, I often think, “I won’t do much today,” then somehow get sucked into a 40-minute EMOM.

And I feel better for it.’

02

Keep It Simple

‘The basics work. None of the moves I used during my transformation were particularly advanced. It’s about lifting progressively

heavier weights, not mastering progressively more difficult movements.’

03

Enjoy The Journey

‘The results are rewarding,

but it can take a while to get there. If you enjoy the process of training, it won’t feel like a chore. Make it fun. If you find fitness fun, you’ll naturally

do it more often.’

04

Meat Doesn’t = Muscle

‘Many people have asked me how I’ve stayed in shape on a vegan diet. Well, there’s protein in more foods than just chicken. Eating vegetables and including variety in your diet plays a big role.’

05 Make Friends

‘Surround yourself with dedicated people – and people who are better at training than you, too. It might not be good for your ego, but you can’t help but want to knuckle down and push yourself.’
