Rushe Fitness owner Emmet shares his sensible approach to getting fit for summer in an enjoyable way.

We are half way through February.

March will soon be upon us and that means that we have only 16 weeks until June, and the start of the summer holiday season.

Over the next few months you will have;

Confirmations
Weddings
Holidays
Birthdays

The one mistake I see people make every year, is they leave it until the last few weeks before these events until they start thinking about getting in shape.

This means that with such a tight time frame, they will have to resort to some extreme measures in order to see any significant changes.

That is not the way you want to build up to one of these events.
Spending the weeks before in an extreme diet and feeling miserable is the last thing you want to be doing.

But it doesn’t have to be that way and you shouldn’t put yourself under that kind of pressure.

If you have a holiday, have confirmations coming up, a wedding or just want to get in shape for the summer season, the time to start is now.

Starting now means that you will leave yourself enough time to get the results you are after, without having to resort to anything extreme like diet shakes or pills.

When a client starts with me, we always look at sustainability with their training and nutrition.

They should be able to get the results they want, and not have to turn themselves into a pariah in the process.

Going down the extreme route has only one ending.

Once you get to the end of the plan, you won’t want to do it again for a long time, and that means that you usually end up back to where you started before the program started.

Instead, when you make it more sustainable and leave yourself a longer period of time to get your results, you don’t feel like stopping when the holiday comes along and people are more likely to continue their health and fitness journey after.

The main thing that I see when a client comes back from holidays after following a sustainable plan, is the amount of weight gained is never as much as the person who had to resort to the extreme measures.

I have seen this time and time again with my Rushe Fitness members in our Lean in 2019 program.

They are all able to go on holidays and know that they won’t have gained huge amounts of weight after, because we taught them how to fit things into their diet leading up to the holiday and they had left enough time to get sensible and sustainable results.

So, if you have a holiday planned this year, or if you are planning on a summer trip, now is the time to start your program.

Make it sensible
Make your nutrition sustainable
Make it enjoyable
Make sure you have plenty of support along the way.

Do all of these things and you are guaranteed to get the results you want and keep them after.

If you don’t know how you would put this together to suit you, we teach you this in our NEW LEAN IN 2019 program.

We had numerous members lose over 3 stone in our previous programmes and they now know how to keep it off.
