Little n' Often

It can be very intimidating and overwhelming to think your life needs a complete revamp in order to make the progress you desire.


Slow down!..


Don't chase a better body in 4 weeks. If you only have 4 weeks then you've probably left it too late!


You're improved health, physique and wellbeing should be part of a sustainable lifestyle; not a 4 week project.


With that in mind, you can make some very significant improvements with much less significant (yet consistent) changes.


For instance, if you can make it your daily aim to do some sort of activity that burns 100 calories (that's not hard) EVERY day, you'll burn 3,000 extra calories a month. That's a 1-1.5 days worth of eating burnt.


Cutting out just one small yoghurt after dinner Monday-Friday you can save yourself a whopping 4,000 calories per month (depending on the yoghurt). Easy right?


By waking up 30-45 mins earlier Monday - Friday you can fit in some steady state fasted cardio each morning to encourage your thermogenic, fat burning process.


The examples are endless.


Don't put all your eggs in one basket. There is no golden bullet (that's 2 great clichés in a row!)


Find small and sustainable changes that you can do and also maintain. Don't expect them to be a fast solution but DO expect them to make a significant change in 6-12 months time.
