Each weekend as I structure my goals for the week to come there are several non-negotiables. The “I will 100% DO” actions and then also some optionals.

Over the years as a personal trainer I’ve observed often with extreme frustration the stark contrast in results achieved by different clients. Clients who may have a similar starting points. Who might both be equally time-poor. Who are both non natural gym-lovers. Both given the same level of support. Of advice. Of individualised eating and exercising programs.
