Don't Know Where to Start?

If you’re on a health and fitness journey to drop body fat, tone up and improve your overall health and fitness…

You’re probably confused about all the contradicting information that’s being published on a daily basis. A result of this is analysis paralysis.

You don’t where to start so you never actually get started!

As a coach it’s unbelievably frustrating seeing people getting sucked into marketing tactics and shock-horror videos.

You’re more worried about cortisol, insulin, sugar, hot or cold baths, doing ‘fat burning’ exercises and the rest.

You’re overlooking the simplicity and benefits of what actions you need to take to start your journey.

Please, stop worrying about the minor details and focus on the bigger picture.

You have fat to lose? Eat in a calorie deficit and track your food.

You want to tone up? Start lifting weights.

You want to increase your fitness? Start doing cardio.

You want to improve your health? Focus on building up healthy habits.

No matter where you start, you have to start somewhere.

By starting with small, realistic, manageable actions such as tracking your calories for the first time or starting the gym - that’s a step forward in the right direction.

So… where do you actually start?

Start with one thing. One action. One step forward. Not 10 things at once. Not a full-blown ‘all or nothing’ approach that burns you out in a week.

Here’s what that could look like:

• Track what you eat for 3 days — no pressure, just awareness.

• Go to the gym once this week — even if it’s just a short session.

• Add 1-2 cardio sessions per week — like a brisk walk or light jog.

• Prioritise sleep — aim for 7-8 hours most nights.

• Drink more water — hydration plays a bigger role than you think.

  
  

These are simple, achievable things that create momentum. Once you do them consistently, they build confidence — and confidence builds results.

What can you realistically expect to see in 2–6 weeks?

• More energy (especially if you’ve started sleeping better and eating well)

• Slight changes in body shape — your clothes might fit a bit looser

• Improved strength — maybe you’re lifting heavier already

• Better endurance — cardio feels less brutal

• Mood boost — less stress, better focus, more mental clarity

• Scale weight might drop — but even if it doesn’t, don’t panic (body composition shifts matter more)

You overestimate how much you can accomplish in a day but underestimate how much you can accomplish in a week.

The people who are in great shape, the people who you may aspire to be like, do the simple shit day in day out.

Consistently.

The people who I coach that get results?

I’m not making them fast, or do carnivore, or take cold baths twice a day.

They track their food and eat a healthy balanced diet.

They show up to the gym consistently and push for PB’s.

It’s not easy…. But it really is that simple.

If you’re frustrated at the lack of results you’re seeing…

If you don’t know where to start…

If you’re losing motivation to carry on your journey…

Get in contact and I’ll see if there’s pointers I can give to get you moving forward.
