This week, one of our runners came up to me for some weight-loss advice.

During our discussion, I asked the question “Why do you think you are overweight?”.

It was obvious that they hadn’t thought about this question as they didn’t have an answer.

They looked a bit lost.

I suggested that they have to think about this and find a possible answer or answers, because it’s important to figure out the real problem/s lying behind this issue for them that may need to be solved.

A lot of people think a weight-loss journey is solely about food and exercise.

While these 2 things are important, there are often (and not always obvious) bigger problems to solve, and if you get on top of these you have a higher chance of success.

In this week’s video, I share why this is an important question to explore before you start a weight-loss journey and the steps you can take which will help set you on the right path.

I was talking to a friend last weekend about his financial situation. 

He was telling me that he probably spends over 8 hours a week stressing about money.

This is massive when you think about it, it’s half the time you are awake within a full day!

The interesting thing about our conversation is that he’s in a great place with his finances.

It turns out that the finances aren’t the problem…

It’s that he’s missing 3 simple steps that would remove the stress from his life.

In this week’s video, I share our conversation and the 3-step plan that could help him remove a massive stress from his life.

 

If you are stressed, this may be a good watch for you.

Do you have an area of your life that you know you are very strong in?

It could be:

• Career
• Health and fitness
• Being a parent
• A hobby

Does being strong in this area hold you back?

You may be wondering what I’m talking about here...

I have this concept called ‘Because I’m great I don’t have to’.

It’s a concept that digs deep into how our strength can close us off to the work that can be done to take us to a higher level of self.

In this week’s video I talk about this concept and share how understanding it can lead to exciting next level versions of you.

In my book, "I Will Make You Passionate About Exercise," I introduce the concept of four different types of exercisers.

They are:

• The Non-Exerciser: This person has no exercise routine.
• The Yo-Yo Exerciser: This person comes and goes from exercise
• The Habit Exerciser: This person has a good routine that they know they can maintain, but sometimes aren’t achieving their desired change
• The Thriving Exerciser: This person is in a place where they are growing and experiencing all the amazing benefits that come from regular exercise

Which one are you?

(If you are a Non-Exerciser or a Yo-Yo Exerciser, it’s worth getting my book which will give you a plan for how to become a Habit and eventually even a Thriving exerciser).

Recently, I realized there is a fifth type of exerciser, the highest level of all.

This is a level that not many can reach, but if you do, you'll become a legend with exercise.

In this week’s video, I reveal the fifth type of exerciser. Maybe it’s a level that you can aim for.
