5 weeks into training for my 160km cycle in July.

So I thought I would share what I'm up to with my training.

Up until this week I have been doing:
X4 upper body weight training sessions per week
X1 40 min spin session
X1 1hr plus cycle

This week I had to slow down the training due to migrains but...

This coming week I'm upping the cycling and leg work:
X3 weight sessions per week adding in some squats & deadlifts
X1 45 min spin
X1 40 min cycle
X1 1:20hr cycle

When training to this level, I have to make sure that I am on top of every aspect to ensure my body is functioning at its best.

Here are a few things I have to stay on top of that many don't think about:

*Sleep 8+ hrs (No phone 30 mins before sleep)

*Water levels 2.5L minimum to keep me hydrated

*7-8k Steps daily to help blood flow, mindset and recover

*Cold showers for recovery (Legs only I am a wuss haha)

*Stretching & mobility to prevent injuries

As the saying goes "you are what you eat" so to ensure Im feeling strong and energetic for my training, it's imperative I get me diet right.

80% of my diet comes from good sources of protein, carbs and fats and the other 20%

I'll be honest, I save them up to eat chocolate, baklava and a burgers on the weekend.

For me to fit all my training in around running ys academy, It's so important that I plan ahead just the same way we teach our clients to.

And although I may not hit every training session as planned, but I get alot more sessions done than I would without that plan in place.

So one thing I want you to take from getting to the end of my boring fitness update is don't quit adjust, make changes and get support along the way from someone whos a few steps ahead of you.

Have a plan and structure around your busy life, it will be the thing that defines failure or success long term

If you're struggling to manage your busy schedule and your health is suffering I want to hear from you today.

Dm me the word "INFO" and let's chat about building a plan to fit you without spending hrs in a gym 🔥

"I'm genuinely proud of my body now! for the first time ever I think" 👇

Jade reached out to me after seeing her friend Lizzie change her life on the YS academy

She had been trying for years to drop 10kg and build healthy habits to have more energy and be proud if what she saw in the mirror

But being a busy teacher she would leave for work early, get back late which meant it was really difficult to maintain a healthy routine.

She mentioned to me that in the past she was good at the beginning for a few weeks, but then fell off track for a few days and found it really difficult to get back to it.

Which left her feeling guilty so she gave up time and time again.

Week 1 was about build a plan around Jades life, so we started with 15mins hime workouts 3x a week to fit around her busy life.

We then matched that with daily step goals, and flexible nutrition plan that allowed her to still enjoy brunches with friends

Then week on week we increased the intensity building up momentum and seeing fantastic changes in her bosy and mindset.

Jade dropped a massive 2 stone and x10 her confident over 16 weeks.

But more than that she left the YS academy in control of her calories and she is maintaining what we achieved together.

It really was life changing for Jade and I'm so happy she put her trust in me to coach her.

I would love to hear from you today if you want to transform the way Jade has.

Have a plan that fits you, is realistic and progressive, tailored to you and guarantees results.

I know this sounds salsie but it's true .

So if your ready Dm me the word "INFO" and let's chat about how my coaching programme can and will change your life for good.

Imagine a training plan that fitted around your life one you could trust to burn fat every week?

Nat shifted 2.5 atone of fat in just over 4 months.

But more than that she's built habits and become educated on nutrition so she will NEVER go back.

Here is a short story of how we did it and what she struggled with before we started working together.

We managed Stefans weekend calories to shift 1.8 st of fat while still enjoying chocolate and beer.

Stefan had hit a brick wall with his fat loss after shifting 3 stone himself, but no matter what he did, he couldn't shift the love handles and man b***s as he called them.

Stefan started to notice the weight coming back and was terrified of undoing all his hard work and ending up back at square one.

When Stefan reached out I was really excited about taking him to the next level with his fatloss 🔥

Like many, Stefan struggled to manage his weekends and loved a cheeky curry on a friday night.

He thought that he needed to give these up to really start seeing results!

Luckily that wasn't the case.

All we needed was a plan to fit those foods in, give him a calorie target to hit over the whole week as a whole, put in place strategies and tricks to best manage the weekends.

So he could still enjoy foods he loved and see results.

We then created a tailored training programme plan and daily step goal that fitted around his busy schedule.

We then kept him on track with weekly check-ins to plan around social events and adjusted the calories accordingly to guarantee results week on week.

Stefan over 12 weeks lost 1.8 stone and has 10x the confidence in his body.

When I asked Stefan, what was the best thing about working with me? he said:

“I felt supported every step of the way, you simplify everything to make it easy to implement, I genuinely have learnt so much. I feel really confident about the future”

Do you struggle to manage your weekends and feel like in order to reach your goals you have to say no to a social life?

Here is one little bit of advice :)

Get accountable to someone who can look at your situation objectively and help you get in control of the stuff that really matters, so you don’t have to demonise foods and feel guilty for enjoying a social life!

Dm me the word “calories” and I will send you through some info on how to get started 🙌

Let me take you back to a cold January day in 2014….

I overindulged and binged through pretty much the whole of December and now felt bloated and sluggish.

This is me sitting at a new years eve party with friends, wearing the only outfit I had baggy enough for me to feel comfortable in.

Hiding my insecurities with a smile as always.

Notice my hands are placed in just the right way to cover up my belly for the photo?

For me “THIS WAS THE TURNING POINT”

I made a promise to myself on this day that I would never again go into a new year feeling crap about myself.

I was fed up of being scared of a friend taking a picture that I would hate, I was sick of avoiding the mirrors around the house out of fear of disappointment.

It was time for a change, to start loving myself again and be free from guilt and disappointment in myself.

I look back now and I'm proud of what I have achieved, 5 stone of fat gone for good, 10x the confidence and I have formed habits that keep me strong physically and mentally.

A quick message to anyone in the place I was in this picture.

It CAN be different, you CAN be confident in your body and you CAN be in control to shift fat for good.

It all starts with one step, that one moment and that one TURNING POINT.

Give this post a like if you can relate and If you are ready to take action then DM me the words “Turning point” and i'll send you through details on how to get started.

Why my team are not waiting until January to continue to see progress with fat loss…..

I'm confident that my team will still see results this December and all while enjoying their
favourite festive calories!

Why am I so confident?

I work hard to educate my team on how calories work, and how to manage those calories around social occasions so they no longer have to feel guilt or feel disappointed in themselvesfor enjoying tasty foods.

I Personally used to really struggle to enjoy christmas and the month of december as it always set me back so much with my weightloss goals, I would feel guilty, ugly and bloated after christmas and going into the new year.

What helps me is having a game plan to manage my calories during December which helps me stay on track but also really helps with my mental health and gives me and my team a head start going into the new year.

If you are a bit fed up with losing control over December and want to get a head start going into 2022 *Message me * the word “Head Start” and lets get a game plan set out for you so you can see results in December and kickstart into 2022.

1 secret that will Maximise your efforts & get you to your goals quicker!

Exercising 3-4 hrs a week alone, isn’t going to ‘fix’ your struggle with fat-loss

When speaking with a new client struggling to lose weight, the issues they have hasn’t just been ‘getting to the gym or exercising’

90% of the time its these things holding them back:

1️⃣ They need direction with their nutrition to match their efforts

2️⃣ They need a bit of accountability to stay consistent

But what they really need is an action plan for the other 160+ hours in the week, alongside the 3-4 hours exercising at home or in the gym.

Without all the pieces of the puzzle coming together you end up cancelling out all your hard work.

Trust me I have been there, training 4-5 times a week but not seeing the results I wanted, I felt lost, frustrated and at times ready to give up!

The moment I reached out and got help with my time outside my training and help with:

🔥Planning around social occasions

🔥Movement outside my training

🔥And most of all managing calories to match the effort I was putting in.

Is when I really started to see the results I wanted. Which helped me grow my knowledge so I never went back!!

Now I'm here to help you 🙌

Are you ready to maximise your efforts?
Start feeling confident and happy with your body again?

Then dm me the word “ MAXIMISE” and let's chat, you will never look back!

SOMEONE IN MY DM'S SAID IT'S TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We were chatting about the fact no one had ever explained or taught her about flexible dieting before.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀
She had worked with personal trainers previously who had given her calories and macros but nothing more...⠀⠀⠀

She naturally assumed that if she wanted to lose weight she had to stick to a restrictive calorie count, every day, for the rest of her life!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I need to tell as many people as possible the following statement:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🚨 YOU CAN EAT THE FOODS YOU LOVE AND STILL MAKE PROGRESS TOWARDS YOUR GOALS!! 🚨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Get yourself a coach (me 👋) who knows how to make this work for you. Losing weight should not mean living in misery. And it doesn't have to be!

Being a busy mum Nat was struggling to find time for herself around work and the kids, she felt tired, stressed and overwhelmed.

It meant she wasn't getting out for runs or any exercise and her motivation had plummeted.

Over the 18 months, before we started, Nat had tried loads of different ways to stay consistent with exercise and tried lots of different diets that lead her to feel more exhausted and chipped away at whatever motivation she had left.

Since starting with me 12 weeks ago Nat has dropped a massive 12kg and she feels better than ever. Her energy levels are through the roof, she's enjoying a social life, eating foods she loves and in control of her nutrition and her future!

How did we deal with the lack of time?

Well, you'd think she was training really hard to shift that weight right?

Wrong. 10-15mins 4 times a week and hitting a step goal - that's it! Match that with the right nutrition and management of her calories and the results speak for themselves!

Do you feel your lack of time is holding you back?

You don't need to spend hours in a gym to see results, you just need the right plan that fits your activity levels and your goals.

DM me the word "help" and let's have a chat about helping you maximise your time and efforts to see results you've only ever dreamt of 🙌

Walk with me through the complexities of different diets! Wanna learn more? Drop me a DM 🙏🏼

24/11/2021

You're 2 weeks into your "HEALTHY DIET" eating lean meats and plenty of veggies.

Then you open the fridge one day and have no motivation to continue to eat bland foods.

But you're worried if you eat something nice you will feel guilty so you end up feeling a bit lost and wonder why you lack willpower and to question whether all of this is worth it in the first place, all while binging on everything and anything you have in the house.

So it's at this point where a person will get in touch with me and say "I need the motivation to keep going I just can't stay consistent!"

To which I reply: No, no, no, you don't need motivation, you need education and understanding of calories so you CAN eat nice foods and have a social life but still get the results you want.

They actually don't need MOTIVATION at all, they need me to educate them on what a healthy diet really is...

And that choc and pizza is not bad, it just needs to be fitted in and consumed in moderation 🙏🏻

Ready to be freed from the chains of believing you are the problem... Ready to be educated and shown how to manage calories, so you never need to feel guilty about enjoying your favourite foods again?

DM me the word "education" and let's have a chat.

A lot of people think diet drinks are bad for you whilst dieting but it's really not true!

When I am dieting and being in a calorie deficit, drinking diet coke or coke zero is a lifesaver! It keeps you fuller for longer, gives you a sweet kick and I personally look forward to my lunchtime coke zero!

Are there any adverse effects to your health from the acids, sweetners and artificial colouring?

When sweeteners (aspartame) are broken down in our bodies into substances that sound scary such as ethanol also found in tomato juice, 1 egg has more 30x more aspartic acid than a can of coke...

So essentially the way diet coke is broken down in the body really does not cause any issues in the body!

Would I advise replacing your water with coke zero every day? No but having 1 or 2 cans max a day will do no harm to your body and help you massively when in a calorie deficit.

Oh and for anyone saying full-fat coke is better no just no!

Those 130 cals from sugar will be better spent elsewhere when on a calorie controlled diet 💪

Swipe to see the transformation!

During our time working together, Lizzie lost an incredible 7KG! When asked what she would say to people thinking about working with me she said:

“It all has to start with you but when you're ready, Yoni can help you reach your goal.”

The last picture was taken of Lizzie after completing the Three Peaks challenge (hiking 26 miles over three mountains in one day).

She spent years trying generic workout plans and diets that were just not right for her body, didn't fit around her life and resulted in her giving up!

Over time weaknesses in her body started to show and she developed chronic sciatica and lower back pain gained weight and felt overwhelmed and low in herself.

She couldn't walk for more than 10 mins without being in pain and any exercise was out of the question. (at least she thought)

We started to work together using nothing but home equipment we have transformed Lizzie's relationship with nutrition and exercise.

Thanks, Lizzie, it has been a pleasure and you’ve smashed it 🔥

Don't go hungry, you can still snack. Everyone loves a snack - but there are healthy alternatives!

So, what are the pros and cons of protein bars? And, why is protein important?

Firstly, protein is harder for your body to break down which means you actually burn cals whilst digesting it ;)

Secondly, protein is widely used around the body in repairing cells & restoring muscles tissue

Thirdly, protein is more filling. It boosts metabolism and helps reduce hunger levels and lastly, protein helps us maintain more muscle and strength.

Ask yourself that!

Stop looking for quick fixes and magic positions!

Get the help you fu***ng need now today!
I am not preaching because I want to take your money. I genuinely do care that there are people wasting their lives, feeling unhappy and not reaching their full potential.
I have clients that have lost 12KG in just 5 weeks after thinking they could never drop weight. They never thought there was a "right time" to start until there was and they wish they had done it sooner.

The difference between them and you is a choice they have made. I have a 'guarantee results or your money back', that's how confident I am in my approach.

I'm here to change my client's life, change their direction, and put them in the driving seat of their own life.

I'm so passionate about breaking the mould because this sh*t fitness industry is hard to navigate and full of BS "quick fixes". I am here to give people clear, concise and scientific direction they can implement to gain long term results.

If you told a younger me (at 110KG) who was too afraid to take off their top at the beach that I would be doing a topless photoshoot today, I would never believe you!

But here I am, topless, loving my body. It's healthy and it's mine.

This week is the start of anti-bullying week. Kids and adults can sometimes say things that hurt others, but the truth is, cruel words often come from a place of insecurity. Body confidence and our image is something that 90% of us struggle with, no matter what our size but a nasty comment is always their problem, not yours!

No one should ever change their appearance for anyone else.

I used to be unhappy with myself and being a bigger person in the fitness industry, I got comments almost daily from individuals who have always been lean and "in shape" or do bodybuilding - often starving themselves to the point of not even being able to get it up - far more unhealthy than holding a few extra % body fat if you ask me!

To anyone struggling with their body confidence, screw the haters, you don't have to have a six-pack to be body confident and healthy
