š£ 3 Opera Boys & 1 Metal Girl
Pavarotti vs Limp Bizkit
Those that have been following on socials, I am back vibing in New Zealand
Colour me an oddball
But one of the main motivations to build an online business was so that I could fuck off out of the UK for Jan/Feb
Something about the 5 hours of daylight and the sideways rain that really pisses deep into the soul
But upon arriving at auntie Pennās gaff this year, after 28 hours of travel, I was informed I was bunking with 3 21 year old lads who were there training with the local youth opera
Instant Karma for being smug about that winter sun (:
Because nothing soothes the jet lag more than 3 lads whistling their scales until 3 fucking am
But as a āthank you for putting up with our shiteā, last night I was treated to a free ticket for their performance of āHansel & Gretelā
Iām a strong believer of you never know what you might like in this world and itās always fair to give it a go at least once
So I thought fuck it, why not?
Got dressed up for the occasion,
Even wore sandals instead of crocs and brushed my hair
And we were off to a strong start as I was handed a free wine and a free pack of sweets upon entry
But this is where the vibes peakedā¦
The first song hadnāt even concluded and my eyes were burning as I tried keeping them awake
My posture involuntarily dropped further and further into my chair
Every 5-10 seconds it felt I was being thrown awake as my head fell forwards
For love nor money could I keep my fucking eyes open.
And a fat nappcident happened for a good 80% of the first act.
But my aunt?
She fucking loved it. As did the rest of the audience.
The buzz of the auditorium was clear as day.
And this right here is what I love about humans.
We are all completely different and love different things.
Hell, weād be a boring bunch of fucks if we all liked the same things, wouldnāt we?
And I think this is dead important to remember within the realms of nutrition and training.
Within our coaching, each person has different quirks and loves.
With training,
Some love throwing heavy iron around
Others prefer running for miles, but use weight training to help them do that
With nutrition,
Some love the detail of tracking food and ticking clear boxes to their goal each week
For others, this feels about as appealing as removing your skull and putting sandpaper direct to the brain
And on social media, whatever camp youāre in, youāll be told youāre wrong.
Itās bollocks.
Sure, for certain outcomes thereās things that need to be done consistently to see the desired result.
If you want to drop body fat, you canāt skip the calorie deficit part. If you want to build muscle and definition, you will need to swap the comfort of the treadmill for some dumbbells at some point.
But to say that everyone needs to do it the exact same, with set meal plans or cookie cutter training programs? Itās a recipe for seeing fuck all consistency and therefore fuck all results.
Which is exactly why, within all of our coaching and even within the Bits app, we plan for variety.
Within Bits you gain access to 5 different program pathways, designed to suit you;
WIGGLE - for those just starting out in the gym and finding the ropes
HOME - for those that need to train from home
MOVE - for those that love cardio and want to build their engine, reducing injury
BUILD - for those that give the most fucks about looking toned and defined, building glutes and shoulders to die for
STRONG - for those that want to beast new 1 rep maxes while looking fucking jacked
And when it comes to the nutrition sideā¦
You have options to go more meticulous and track your food towards your goals
Or you can use the lighter frameworks and recipes within the app so you can move towards eating healthier without it being all a numbers game
The app gives you the tools - your preferences will help you shape them so they work best for you
And if you want access to all of the above? You can join us on a 7 free trial here:
Hope you enjoy more than I did the Opera :)
Big love
