đŁ Catching Flights, Big Feelings
Hand Clam Maxxing
I was sat there.
Clutching a Boots meal deal with hands clammy as hell.
The bloke to my right was muttering prayers like he was negotiating with God directly.
I flew to Poland Thursday to spend the weekend with my best mates, a trip I had been buzzing for
And even Iâve clocked up a chunk of air miles over the years
Every single time those wheels leave the tarmac, my brain decides this is The One.
Thanks to teenage years spent glued to Air Crash Investigations, I am fully convinced a mild wobble of turbulence is actually the opening scene of my own documentary.
Anxiety is a fucking bitch for that.
Itâs the fear you canât see, the danger you canât prove and it makes you feel completely helpless.
But hereâs the real bugger
Travelling feeds my fucking soul

OOooo Sheâs cultured xox.
And unless I plan on swimming to Asia, flying is part of the deal.
So if I want the magic on the other side, I have to crack on with âdoing it scaredâ
And this runs beyond a Boeing 737âŚ
When I first posted fitness content, I was terrified people would think I was a fucking loser.
Some of them did and you know what? I lived. And my life has got insanely better because of it.
When I first went to the gym, it took me a full year to tickle a dumbbell.
But if Iâd waited to feel confident, calm, and fearless? I probably would still be a dumbbell virgin
And fuck, a virgin virgin too đ
And if fear is whatâs keeping you stuck with working out right now, youâre not broken.
Maybe youâre scared youâll do the movements wrong.
Worried people will judge you for trying.
Terrified youâll fail and everyone will see it.
But this is exactly why I built Bits
So I can be right there in your pocket to take you through everything you need.
From finding the best movements, learning the movements properly, knowing what weight or reps to pick
You have everything you need in one spot and you can try it for free here:
And if you need more support
We open up spots to Blitz Your Bits, our 8 week group coaching on January 26th
This is our sell out program where you work closer with us to talk through any anxieties while taking your results to the next level
App members get first dibs on spot (and the cheeky buggers have sold out the program every time)
So youâll want to be on there by the time January 26th comes about
Big love
