After years of just average eating, failed workouts and getting nowhere, I came across Simon's page and over the past four months have been working closely with @James Pace to lose weight, build muscle, eat smarter and most importantly - build confidence. I was already eating ok when I started back in May, albeit too many calories, but the biggest factor in my life that needed changing was my exercise. I was terrified of the gym, having tried it before years ago but never able to commit through fear, lack of knowledge or no consistency. James started me off on some home workouts which were great, but the big step came when he pushed me to get into the gym. In July I stepped into the gym - and I hated it. The people, how busy it was, worried I'd look stupid, or that people would be looking at me and my skinny arms. But I pushed through. I'm the sort of person who once I have actually done something, the the fear and nerves are wiped out immediately. And through that dogged determination and crucially James' support, I'm now going 3-4 times a week and feeling like I can actually belong in a gym. I still look around and compare myself to others, especially when I see other guys with bigger muscles than me, and I'm still very nervous whenever I try a new piece of equipment or an exercise. But getting over that hurdle, that fear, has meant I'm now finally, albeit in small steps, getting the jacked body I've always wanted, and I'm actually waking up most days wanting to go to the gym! Long story short - keep pushing, once you get over any hurdle, it gets easier, and you'll face new challenges - but you'll be able to tackle it so much better than before! Big thanks to James for getting me where I am today - though I'm annoyed because my success so far means I'm actually now wanting to get even bigger and better than I had planned haha, a victim of my own confidence! And testameny to how great the programme is! I have a very long way to go to get what I'm hoping for - but I've done more in the past 4 months than in the past 4 years!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

The Underrated Superpower: Sleep Most people think fat loss or muscle building comes down to training harder and eating better. But if your sleep isn’t right, you’re working with the handbrake on. Sleep is your recovery factory. While you’re out cold, your body repairs muscles, balances hormones, and restores energy. Cut that short and you’re basically walking out of the factory halfway through the job. Matthew Walker’s book Why We Sleep is a must-read (highly recommend it), and if you prefer listening, his Diary of a CEO episode is gold. It’ll open your eyes to just how much sleep impacts health, hunger, and performance. Why Sleep Matters For Fitness - Hunger goes up. Poor sleep raises ghrelin (hunger hormone) and lowers leptin (fullness hormone). That’s why, after 5 hours’ sleep, you crave carbs and sugar. - Muscle growth slows. Growth hormone and testosterone are released during deep sleep. Less sleep = slower recovery and weaker gains. - Fat loss stalls. One study from the University of Chicago showed that people sleeping 8 hours lost over 50% more fat than those sleeping 5.5 hours, even though both groups ate the same calories. The short-sleep group also lost more muscle. - Performance drops. Strength, focus, and motivation all tank when you’re underslept. 👉 Think of your body like a phone. You can run on 20% battery for a while, but without charging overnight, performance crashes and eventually shuts off. Sleep is your charger.

P.s my grey hair are getting out of hand now 😂
