But what is body fat and what is it for? Where does it come from? And how do we lose it? This article is all about understanding the answers to these questions.

Understanding motivation is one of the most important things we can do in our lives, because it has such a bearing on why we do the things we do and whether we enjoy them or not. I have recently posted a poll on my Instagram stories, asking my followers if they were staying on top of exercise.
“No” was the most popular answer. In another poll, I asked “Why?” and offered two options: “No guidance” and “Low motivation”. “Low motivation” received an overwhelming 100% response. What many of us might not realise is that your initial motivation is fuelled by a sense of novelty and inspiration to achieve success. Unfortunately, neither of the two lasts long. Your shiny new training program becomes old news in a couple of weeks. And your long-term goal of losing 50lbs can seem too far away when you step on the scale and you’ve only lost half a pound this week. Once your starting levels of motivation are running low, don’t wait to wake up one day and find them miraculously restored. Spoiler alert: It won’t happen. Instead, become the architect of your own motivation. One way to do this is to accomplish a workout when it’s the very last thing you want to do. This will boost your confidence and thus perpetuate a positive feedback loop of success, followed by a sense of accomplishment and renewed motivation, followed by repeated success. In this article, I will cover my top tips to do exactly that. |
