Why your fitness plan is going to continue to fail you
Olla by stunning lil strawberry,
Friday gone I treated my old man to Billy Ocean x Sister Sledge.
But for once, my crocs stayed at home.
Come on lads - Iāve got to dress up sometimes.
So I chose my 8-year-old trainers, held together by gorilla glue and a dream.
Crocs = mosh pit.
Trainers = two-step master.
(HenleyFitness science. Donāt come for me x)
Jokes aside - context is vital in avoiding unnecessary conflict.
Tell your mate theyāre a cock-waffling-thunder-fucker? Bants.
Tell your boss? Career change.
Same with nutrition and training:
A calorie deficit drives fat loss.
Strength training builds muscle.
But how does that looks? Completely different depending on your life.
A 21-year-old gym rat vs someone navigating peri-menopause? Worlds apart.
Yet so many clients come to us burned by programs treating everyone like a spreadsheet:
Track every crumb
No days off
5ā6 sessions a week or youāre ālazyā
10k steps or bust
Sure - on paper, that works.
But life doesnāt happen on fucking paper.
Hormones, values, caregiving, holidays, grief - these things shape your capacity and your choices.
And the best fitness plan is one that:
Accommodates your reality
Pushes you the right amount to grow
Gives you tools when Plan A doesnāt work
Canāt track calories? Cool - what else can help manage intake?
Canāt hit 5 sessions? Letās start with 2-3 and build from there.
Canāt walk 10k? Do 1k more than now. Thatās progress.
If youāre tired of doing āfitness,ā failing, and blaming yourself - stop trying to shove your real life into someone elseās rigid model.
Stop trying to force a melon through a pinhole.
Embrace the human bits of your journey.
