So you think you cannot lose weight? RUBBISH. One of our Gym members took part in our 100 day Gym Challenge and lost 27lb of weight, gained lean muscle and is buzzing.
We designed a program for her and provided her with a nutrition plan and support and the rest they say is history.
Barbie Burgess came along and worked out, actually 101 days consecutively as we had a bit of confusion with days.
This is a great little tip that anybody can use to help them maintain a great 3 month training plan, to lose weight, get fitter or tone up. Often the problem is people start a training regime and then something comes up, you fall of the training waggon and go back to square 1, it's normally because you haven't changed your fitness habits or got your head in the right place. To illustrate how your brain and being mentally in the right place is so important, read the study below. Three groups of men were trained to throw basketball free throws. Group 1 practiced free throws for twenty days Group 2 no practice at all Group 3 spent 20 minutes a day getting into a relaxed state and visualised throwing free throws, if they missed they visualised correcting their aim and getting the baskets in. The results were amazing: group 1 improved by 24% which was expected. group 2 showed no improvement group 3 who had no practical training improved by 23%, which amazed scientists. That's why the mind is so important, actually there has been a number of similar studies all proving that the mind is THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. I have read about a number of these studies, ask me sometime. MY TOP TIP Get a blank business card and write your three month goals on that card, ensure you write in the current tense, this is important as your sub conscious doesn't understand the future. An example would be: i am currently 7lbs lighter i feel fantastic now i am 10 stone i love wearing jeans i couldn't fit into before now i love looking in the mirror Once you have listed all of these on your card, spend a few minutes, close you're eyes if you like and think about all of the reasons you want to change the way you look. This could be comments off people or partner, looks people have given you, issues on public transport etc - the deepest emotional reason why you must change. Then look back at your card goals and link the two, the emotional reasons to change and the future you in three months. Now you have the card look at it whenever you can, all of the time, at the traffic lights, before meals, before the gym, as soon as you wake up, basically become best friends with that card. Repetition will form the training habit to ensure you achieve your goals. That's why commercials get you buying stuff, repetition-repetition-repetition. If you want to make a change, use my simple tip it really works. and if you need me too i will even laminate the card for you. Good luck Glenn (motivator) Hill Ladies at Leisure Gym
Tonight actually I had a domino's winter warmer pizza deal, I never managed to eat it all as it's a beast.
The funny thing was when the driver turned up he said: " that's not a good advert is it? pizza with fitness" when he looked at my personal trainer car.
So i said "everything in moderation, and i believe this ladies"
You know, at the moment i probably train about 3 or 4 hours a week, some of the ladies in my gym will do that in a day (honest). I am carrying an injury though - the key thing is even with the little i train and having a pizza and a bottle of wine i think i am still in great shape.
If you say age is the issue...rubbish i will be 40 this year and it's not too hard....stop making excuses.
This could be you too, its about quality and definately not quantity, actually quantity can be ruining your training in some cases.
Too much slow cardio and such like can produce a large amount of muscle stripping cortisol (muscle stripping stress hormone), so quality is what it's all about.
The better your week of training and nutrition, the more you can treat yourself. However if you have real weight issues forget the treats for the time being.
If you would like to be able to treat yourself and still have an amazing physique why don't you join the 100 day gym challenge (come to my gym 100 days in a row and see if you can beat lakeisha and drop more than 50lb in this one hundred day challenge.

Ladies, January is the usual new year new thing, however you don't need to wait for the new year to roll around to start making a massive change in your life.
LaKeisha Shurn from Berkeley, CA USA spent the last 100 days going to the gym and documenting her weight loss journey, and her results show not just a healthier person, but a happier one.
In her first video, LaKeisha reveals that she's at 348 pounds and suffers from low self-esteem and depression. "I always just thought of myself as someone who was unattractive and was not fit to be married or have kids," she says in her video diary.
LaKeisha who looks very unhappy on day one wows to go to the gym for 100 days, and she does just that. In the video we see footage of her running on the treadmill, working the machines and taking group exercise classes at 24 Hour Fitness.
Day 52, she looks much happier and on day 70 she reaches one of her first goals - dropping out of the "300 Club" and hitting 299 pounds. By Day 90, her body had become much more flexible, and she could pull her leg up straight.
After LaKeisha's 100 Days, she dropped from a size 26 to a size 22 and found the self-esteem that had been missing in her life.
"I want you to see how one person really changes everything about their life," she says.
LaKeisha's 100-day program was inspired by Give it 100, the online community curated by Karen Cheng. Last year, Karen recorded her progress as she taught herself how to dance in 100 Days, and soon after started Give It 100 to inspire others to accomplish their goal, be it learning to dance, lose weight, or any sort of project that takes patience and dedication to complete.
So i was thinking, hey my job is helping people and i was wondering how could i help to inspire the ladies of chester le street?
Here it is, i am asking the ladies of chester le street to come to the gym every day for 100 days?
Obviously it will change your fitness, weight and life forever.
The individual that has the biggest change in their fat percentage after the 100 days wins a year's free gym membership.
To make it easier to make it into the gym, I will endeavour to open the gym at other times for these ladies to ensure the can come in every day.
You will get advice on training like all of our members get
Think of the health benefits of this amazing challenge, if you are a procrastinator and blame others for your shape, then now's the time to accept responsibility and make a change.

OR IF YOU JUST WANT TO GET THAT SIX PACK OR BICEPS!!
I will be starting this challenge around the 8th of febuary, the reason I am procrastinating a bit is because i will be away for a while doing Army stuff until then.
