I'm BACK!! :) Recently I was sent a test kit from "DNAfit" for being part of the Les Mills UK Trainer & Presenter team. The kits are designed to give you an in depth view of your genetic potential in direct correlation to your nutrition and your exercise. I love this science, sci-fi, X-men stuff so this is an awesome priveledge and I thought I would share some of my results with you all. As well as my DNAfit results, I also state the 4 steps that I believe everyone has to take to fully unleash their potential for physical results. Go check it out!!! PLUS!! - HAVE YOU STARTED THE LEAN LIFE 21 DAY CHALLENGE YET? Listen to the end to find out more.

Want to know the most common "goal" people have when they join a gym?? They tell me that they "WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT AND TONE UP..." Well...I believe that the meaning is much greater than that. I mean come on! Let's be a little more creative here! (and honest in fact!) The reason people join a gym is to feel more body confidence, increase health and ultimately experience a more enjoyable and positive life! So let's get this goal setting thing done right... It's so much more that SMART goals...In this episode I walk you through 4 powerful questions that will help you to connect a deeper meaning to your goals.

The people around you will either help you or hold you back. Ever had a "friend" try and get you to eat dessert when you already said you don't want any? Or maybe someone has commented that "You are doing too much exercise" or given you the advice of "Don't go losing too much weight will you?" - Funny thing isn't it when a "friend" seems to be putting you down... Well sometimes they don't even know they are doing it! So the only way to really tackle this one is to keep focusing on YOURSELF and learning to manage your relationships and you change for the better.

I have never been much of a "Home Workout" guy. Owning a Gym makes it extremely accessible for me to do my training. HOWEVER - The last week has been very very VERY different for me. I have been house-bound, helping my Wife to settle in our 1st Child, who came into our lives just a few days ago! My world has been rocked and I am loving it. But anyway...Enough about me... DO home workouts actually get results? I've been thinking about this a lot this week and have 5 TOP TIPS to help you to make it WORK. So whether you have time restraints, can't get to the gym, or you are also a new parent (Big respect to you my friend! Boom!) This episode will help you to NAIL your Home workouts, making it possible for you to achieve "The Lean Life" against the odds - Well isn't that what successful people do? :) Tommy G.
