𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗴𝗲. 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲.😮

People believe their metabolism slows down just because they’re getting older.

And while that’s true to a degree, it’s not the full story and it’s certainly not something to hide behind.

Much of the weight gain, fatigue, and body changes many experience in their 30s, 40s, and 50s are more about lifestyle than age.

As we get older, we tend to become less active. We sit more, move less, and let strength training slide.

The result? Muscle loss.

And since muscle is a metabolically active tissue, losing it can cause your metabolism to dip.

But here’s the good news: this is totally within your control.

One of the most powerful tools you have is strength training. Building and maintaining muscle doesn’t just help you stay strong, it boosts your metabolism, improves body composition, and supports healthy weight management at any age.

Instead of looking to blame age, it might be time to look at your habits.

🔹Are you moving enough?
🔹Are you strength training?
🔹Are your daily choices aligned with the results you want?

Getting older is inevitable, but getting weaker, slower, or more tired doesn’t have to be.

Don’t let age be your excuse. Let it be your reason.

𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴.

It’s getting darker.
It’s getting colder.
We’re nearing winter.

Most people aren’t gonna be motivated by that.

My advice?

Set a goal or goals and give yourself something to work towards, something to keep you focussed.

Start to take actions that will move you closer to those goals. Start to make things happen.

The longer you wait, the longer it will take to see results, right?

Once you take action, you'll then start to create change and see the results that you've always wanted.

You'll then start to see how much more "motivated" you are when you start taking action.

Action breeds motivation.
Movitation breeds consistency.
Consistency breeds results.

If you wait for motivation to magically appear, you’ll be waiting a while!

I share the benefits to this product quite often because it’s one of the most scientifically proven supplements out there, the benefits are there for all to see.

Whether you want to get stronger, run further or improve cognitive function, creatine will help you do just that.

Pretty much everyone will benefit from taking it and it’s so easy to take, just 3-5g per day!

Do you use creatine?

When I first started training, I thought every session had to be about pushing harder, pushing until I hated it, and chasing the feeling of being “sore” after every workout.

Too many people treat training like a box to tick off a to-do list. Something they “have to” get through. But if every session feels like a chore, it won’t last very long.

The truth is, training should be something you look forward to. It should challenge you, but it should also energize you, give you confidence, and leave you wanting more.

When you enjoy the process…

🔹Consistency stops being a struggle.
🔹Progress happens naturally.
🔹Training becomes part of your lifestyle, not just a short-term plan.

Fitness isn’t punishment. It’s a privilege. It’s your chance to move, to grow stronger, and to find out what your body is capable of.

Don’t chase the perfect workout.

Chase the one you’ll keep coming back to. Because the best program in the world means nothing if you hate doing it.

𝗦𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁?

Here’s why 👇🏻

You’re doing too much of the wrong stuff.

- Focussing on random exercises won’t fix a poor training plan.
- Doing too much cardio won’t build the muscle you need to actually look lean or “toned.”
- Another sweaty gym class isn’t the magic key to fat loss.
- And more restriction? That’s just going to drain your energy and wreck your metabolism.

The truth is — more doesn’t always mean better.

Progress isn’t about doing everything.
It’s about doing the right things, consistently, over time.

So shift your focus:

- Fewer exercises, but make sure they’re done with intent.
- Real progressive overload. Look to progress loads, sets and reps on a weekly basis.
- Focus on a specific amount of exercises at a time, and execute each one.
- Quality recovery. More protein, more water and more sleep.
- Have a mindset that doesn’t quit when things don’t go as planned!

Train with purpose. Recover with purpose. Eat with purpose.

That’s how you will actually start to see change.

Great North Run 2025 🏃🏻✅

It’s always been on my bucket list to do this one year after growing up watching my Dad run it numerous times and supporting rachel879 doing it last year.

This year was my turn!

I turned up with the sole purpose of enjoying the day, soaking up the atmosphere and not putting pressure on myself to go out and hit a certain time - something I’m really for. (Although I did PB simply down to the fact it was the first time I’ve ran 13 miles).

The whole atmosphere was something else, people really don’t lie when they say it’s the best.

On the start line with samwintercoaching

A high five from jacobmurphy95

Lucky to be on the Tyne Bridge at the time when the Red Arrows flew over

A few too many sweets and oranges on the route

And even a beer around 11 miles.

A huge thank you for the support and good luck messages, they sure got me through that wall I hit at 8/9 miles.

Next year? We’ll see 👀

𝗙𝗶𝘁𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻 𝟴-𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲.❌

It’s not a 30-day shred or a crash diet.

And it’s definitely not just about the “after” photo.

𝗙𝗶𝘁𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲.

It’s about more than just aesthetics — it’s about how you 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡, how you 𝙢𝙤𝙫𝙚, and how you show up for yourself every single day.

It’s the energy to play with your kids.

The strength to carry your shopping, lift yourself up, and walk with confidence.

The mental clarity to handle stress and bounce back from life’s curveballs.

That quick transformation might get likes on social media…

But what matters more?

The quiet wins. The consistency. The lifestyle that 𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙨.

You don’t need to train for a season —
You need to train for yourself.

There will be days you’re on fire, and days where showing up is the only win — and that’s okay.

Because this isn’t about perfection.

It’s about 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨.
𝙇𝙤𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙩𝙮.
𝙇𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙬𝙚𝙡𝙡.

💬 If you’re done with “quick fixes” and ready to build strength that lasts a lifetime — I’m here for it.

Let’s go. 💪🏻

🚨𝗠𝘆𝘁𝗵 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱: Lifting heavy does not automatically make you bulky! 🚨

Here’s the truth👇

Building “bulk” requires a calorie surplus (eating more than calories than you burn). If your nutrition doesn’t support it, you won’t magically get bigger.

Heavy lifting builds strength, power, and lean muscle — not excessive size.

Women especially have much lower testosterone levels, making it more difficult to “bulk up” like bodybuilders without years of intentional training and eating (or other things).

If anything, heavy lifting helps you look more toned, athletic, strong and it breeds confidence.

The bottom line?

Lift heavy. Get stronger. Move better. Don’t fear the barbell.

Save this for the next time someone tells you heavy lifting makes you bulky.

Tag a friend who still stand any this myth 💪

Hybrid Games Newcastle ⚫️⚪️

First crack at this event on Saturday so we didn’t really know what to expect…

Shorter distanced runs but more of them…

And more stations with extra reps and distances from what we’d experienced previously.

We managed a very respectable 57:47 which we were really pleased with, including a 13th place overall on the 100cal assault bike which was a surprise 👀

It felt good to do an event close to home for once, hopefully it won’t be the last!

(Still don’t have the finisher photo)🙃

I’ve said it before, but these events give me a focus.

You won’t always hit PB’s or be satisfied with the way you performed, but it gives you something to chase to be better, and that’s why I’ll always encourage others to do the same!

Onto the Great North Run in under 3 weeks 🏃🏻

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿?

I speak to lots of people who say they are just waiting for the right time to get started.

Just like they’re waiting for motivation to appear.

And my reply…

Why?

The “right time” may never come.

It’s my job to help people of all levels and abilities.

The longer you wait, the less time you’ll have to enjoy the results you will achieve.

Why wait for 12 months being unhappy with the way you look and the way you feel, when you can start to make a change to this right away.

It’s time to get you up and running and on the right path to the results you want.

As we say if not now, then when?

𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝘆, 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝘆 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲.

Do you struggle to find time for workouts?

If so, you’re most certainly not alone!

Staying fit doesn’t have to mean spending hours in the gym.

Here are some quick hacks to keep moving even with a packed schedule:

𝟭. 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀.
🔹15-20 minutes of intense exercise can be more effective than an hour of moderate effort.
🔹2-3 shorter strength sessions per week (20-30 minutes) can still help to build muscle and and increase your strength.

𝟮. 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲.
🔹Take the stairs instead of the elevator.
🔹Walk or cycle to work if possible.
🔹Use your breaks to get some steps in and get outdoors for a few minutes each day.

𝟯. 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.
🔹Meal prep to avoid unhealthy, last-minute food choices.
🔹Eat protein and fiber-rich foods to stay full and support muscle growth.
🔹Stay hydrated—sometimes fatigue is just dehydration.

𝟰. 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲-𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗶𝘁𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀.
🔹Train from home to eliminate the commute time to the gym.
🔹Resistance bands and dumbbells allow effective training at home.
🔹Use fitness apps or invest in a coach to build your workouts.

𝟱. 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗮 𝗵𝗮𝗯𝗶𝘁.
🔹Schedule workouts like meetings—non-negotiable.
🔹Find activities you enjoy to keep you motivated.
🔹Start small—5-10 minutes a day is better than nothing at all.
