Fitness for people with stuff to do!
Warning: If you are looking to run a marathon, compete in Hyrox or get an ‘instagram body’ this isn’t for you.
A 30 minute workout has been proven to be as effective for weight loss and building muscle, if not more so, than a 60 minute session.
Why 30-Minute Workouts Are Better:
Consistency: Lack of time is the most common barrier to regular exercise. Shorter sessions make it much easier to show up on busy work or family days. Get in, do your half hour, go do the rest of your life. Repeat the next week. Consistency gets results.
Efficiency: We focus on high return compound movements like squats, deadlifts, lunges, chest press etc. The moves that get results. No bicep curls or calf raises here. And definitely no f****** treadmills.
Cheaper: Why pay someone to watch you cycle on a stationary bike? Or to stand next to you while you are resting for large periods of the session as training at intensity for 60 minutes is near impossible? If you can get the results in half the time and cost, why spend more? Then you can use the extra cash to buy some bananas and maybe some vitamin D tablets to make up for the lack of sunshine living in Scotland.........
Training sorted, we will look at nutrition. Diets don't work. You have probably tried loads. Nutrition is simple: Eat a bit better than you are just now (for example, drink some more water, add a bit of fruit). You will lose some weight. If you want to lose more, we will get you eating 'a bit better' again. When you are where you want to be, stick to eating like that. It really is that simple.
Getting in shape isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing what works and fitting it within your busy life. Do the simple stuff, long enough, you'll get results.
Two gym sessions per week, one to one, with me, consisting of a quick warmup, kettlebells, battleropes, sandbags and some old school weight lifting moves, followed by a quick stretch to cool down and that’s you, ready to crack on.
Nothing fancy, no gimmicks, very simple but effective training. I train my clients the way I train myself, doing the exercises that get results. Like these folk below did:
-Me at 28 and at 49-
-Graeme, same outfit, 6 months apart-
Wilma: Down 2 dress sizes
Ant, down 7.5 stones
Julie: Down 2 stones
Ben: Lost stone and a half
Margaret: Down 3 stone & 20 inches
As I say, you won't get ripped, be on the front cover of Mens\Womens Health, or be able to compete in Triathlons by training twice a week for 30 minutes and eating a bit better. However, you will drop a couple of dress sizes/belt notches, feel better about yourself, be able to wear more of the clothes you love and get back some of your old energy. If these are your goals, then 30 Minute Fitness is for you.
To make all this even simpler, save me waffling on any longer here and get all the necessary exercise and nutrition info in one place I have written it as a little book:
Just 75 pages. Perfect toilet read. No jargon, no fluff, no bullshit. Just what I have found to work best, based on proper scientific research, not 'gym bro' nonsese, condensed down only to what you need to know.
(Click on the book cover to download your free copy.)
I only work with 30-35 clients at any one time, so spaces are limited. Give me a shout if you are interested and we can have a chat and start to plan how we can set about getting you to where you want to be.
Cheers
