Let’s talk about Jakki 🌟

I’ve known and worked with Jakki for over 8 years.

And I know for a lot of people who aren’t part of my team, that may seem strange;

‘Why so long?’ I hear you ask.

Well the easiest way to try and explain it, is like this.

I started helping people 20 years ago, and the catalyst for that in my coaching was support through fitness and nutrition.

Very quickly I realised that’s only one small part of it.

One small cog in the wider machine.

Because ultimately we all want the same things don’t we - we all want to be happier and healthier, but guess what…

Life happens. And things don’t go to plan!

So rather than just focus on ‘weight loss’ or ‘fat loss’ I try to focus on the person, where they are, what they need and how I can help as the goalposts move.

How that looks can end up being different for everyone. That’s what makes it tailored to you and for you.

But for Jakki who lives in Shetland, who is limited in terms of a gym etc. she still continues to make a commitment to be better, not just for her but her family and community.

Since we have worked together there have been lots of highs and lows, but her commitment has been unwavering.

There have been incredible wins, experiences and memories, all the while living her life to a better, healthier standard.

I think the pictures speak for themselves.

Proud of you Jakki and all that you do!

Not everyone who looks “unmotivated” is lazy.

Sometimes they’re just mentally exhausted from surviving for too long.

Chronic stress changes how the brain and body function — affecting sleep, emotions, focus, motivation, and even how safe the world feels.

We live in a culture that rewards constant productivity, but humans were never designed to stay in survival mode forever.

Rest isn’t weakness.
Connection isn’t laziness.
Recovery is necessary!

If this resonates with you, you’re probably not broken — just overloaded.

A wee trip to earlier in the week was much needed after another ‘eventful’ weekend, for some rest and recuperation.

Although I have the luxury of these things at home, it’s nice to venture out and not face the elements when in the cold tub, so a private 40 minute session was just what I needed.

Top tunes with contrast therapy = renewed body and mind.

Even if I did forget who to ask to set a timer 😂🌚

MOTS-c is one of the most interesting peptides being spoken about right now, largely because of its potential link to metabolism, mitochondrial function and exercise adaptation.

But as always, context matters folks!

The mechanistic and early stage data is promising, particularly around how MOTS-c may be involved in the body’s response to exercise and metabolic stress…

However, human clinical evidence for using MOTS-c itself is still limited, so it’s important not to overstate what we currently know.

And that’s why I’m here to help inform and educate 🤓

This like other peptides, isn’t a magic fat-loss injection.
It isn’t a replacement for training, nutrition or lifestyle.
I really must stress this.

At best, peptides like this may support or amplify the work you’re already doing, they don’t do the work for you.

Train hard ✅
Eat mindfully ✅
Sleep properly ✅
Get your basics nailed 🤜

Then, and only then, can you have a sensible conversation about whether more advanced tools are even worth considering.

Save this for later & share it with someone who keeps seeing MOTS-c talked about online. It’s everywhere!

Super Sunday 💚

A busy but a very productive, and rewarding day.

A long lie, followed by doing all the domestic chores of food shop and gym stock run, gym, washings, admin and then a wee afternoon of playing the Dog Whisperer.

It’s been a while since I’ve gave you all a Diego 🐶 update, so here you go 💚

Let’s talk Leaky Gut!

For the best part of 20 years I have seen and heard it all - every possible reason and excuse as to why you aren’t fit, healthy or thriving.

This year it seems that the two biggest culprits are cortisol and now leaky gut.

But let me keep this simple for you - your gut health is the foundation of everything, from immunity, mood and energy.

So as my wee Sunday freebie to you, you can grab one of my client resources on prebiotics, probiotics and symbiotics for free!!!

Just comment ‘Gut’ and I’ll get it over to you 🫡

Today’s pull session was straightforward.

It involved a low exercise count but high-quality ex*****on.

I trained fasted and in between clients, so there was no room for half-hearted effort or going through the motions.

One thing I believe people overcomplicate is back training. Many try to cram every exercise into one session, but end up executing none properly. A good back session doesn’t need twelve exercises; it needs intention, good mechanics, and progression over time.

Here’s a basic structure I build most pull sessions around although mines wasn’t exclusive to this today:

- Vertical Pull for Lat Width: Focus on a proper stretch and hard contraction. Lats are often underdeveloped because people never learn how to train them effectively.

- Chest-Supported Row for Upper Back Detail: This provides stability, allowing you to load the movement hard without turning it into ego lifting. Clean ex*****on is more important than moving the stack. Trust me.

- Horizontal Row with Elbows Tucked: This is great for building lat thickness and depth. I like combining movements that challenge the lats in both the lengthened and shortened positions.

- Rear Delt Work: Underrated and often skipped, but rear delts are crucial for a complete back look and stronger posture.

And of course biceps - everyone MUST finish with biceps 😂😅

The basics done well consistently over time will take you further than constantly changing exercises every week.

Keep it simple, train hard, execute properly, and progress patiently.

Many people focus on minor details like the “perfect” split, optimal rep range, best exercise order and tempo (3 seconds or 4 seconds) while struggling to consistently take a set to genuine failure.

This is a common issue in the fitness industry: too much information and not enough application from the great majority of people.

People are overwhelmed by content hacks and “science-based” nuances before they’ve even developed the habits and work ethic needed to achieve results.

The fundamentals drive progress: training with real intensity, executing movements properly, recovering well, eating consistently and repeating the basics long enough to improve.

Most people don’t need more complexity; they need more consistency!

They don’t need 15 exercise variations; they need to become brutally good at the few that work.

They don’t need another advanced programme; they need to stop changing programmes every three weeks because they’re bored.

They don’t need to overanalyse every detail; they need to earn the right to worry about it later.

The truth is, if your effort is low, your focus is poor and your ex*****on is inconsistent, no amount of optimisation will save you.

The people who transform their physique aren’t always the smartest; they’re usually the ones willing to do the boring basics relentlessly well for years.

Simple works, but only if you actually do it properly.

Get out your head, get under the weight and start focusing on what actually moves the needle.
