Founding partner at LIFE ON FITNESS. I'm a fitness enthusiast (not a fitness 'professional'). Being massively obese, I started my fitness journey at around the age of 14. It wasn't the cool thing to do yet, and didn't even know what my life was missing. It only got better as I researched, tried, studied, and tested evermore fitness elements and knowledge. I write my thoughts with the hopes of inspiring even one person to achieve their life goals as well as their fitness goals. But most importantly enjoy and get the best out of life.
It’s thirteen days into the new year, and he’s on a twelve-day gym streak. Proud of it, but also admitting he probably won’t be around much longer. New Year fitness goals: too much, too soon, and built on a mindset that expects failure. Real progress doesn’t come from extremes, it comes from sustainability, recovery, and long-term thinking.
Weight loss drugs are becoming evermore mainstream, so naturally an ecosystem is beginning to form around it. Supermarkets are building entire product lines around them. As “drug-friendly” meals hit the shelves, shouldn’t we be asking harder questions about health, responsibility, cost, and sustainability?
This year tested me in ways I didn’t expect. Loss, injury, fatigue, and changing commitments forced me to adapt how I trained, and how I defined consistency. While progress didn’t always look the same, fitness remained an anchor, helping me stay grounded through one of the most challenging years I’ve faced.
When life gets chaotic, workouts are often the first thing to go. But with the right mindset and science-backed strategies, you can keep moving forward, even on your busiest days. Learn how to adapt your training, stay consistent, and maintain progress no matter what life throws at you.
Life doesn’t always allow for perfect training sessions. I’ve learned that even 45 minutes in the gym can make a difference especially when you show up, no matter what.
