Sam got in better shape, started meal prepping and became more consistent with his routine during our ACTIV8 eight week challenge.

He’s kept those habits going since finishing too.

Massive transformation, proud of your efforts mate 👊

Keep these in your ab workouts 💪 Just don’t expect them to target lower belly fat.

You can strengthen the muscles, but you can’t choose where the fat comes off.

And you don’t need to do them on an empty stomach to get results.

Save this and send me the next fitness Reel you want me to review 👀

“Your consistency towards me is what kept me consistent.”

This part of Alicia’s interview meant a lot to me.

You’re not just following a plan. You’re trying to change habits and build healthy routines you’ve never had before, alongside everything life throws at you.

That doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time, structure, guidance and the willingness to keep going after setbacks.

It’s not easy. Having a coach in your corner can really help.

If you’re ready to make a change and want support along the way, DM READY

“Can I still eat Oporto?” 👀👇

I get asked this all the time. Yeah, you can. It just comes down to what you order and how often.

The Half Chicken has 83.6g of protein for 593 cals. The Half Chicken Box is 1668 cals. Both are chicken, but they’re very different meals.

Swipe through, find your go to and save it so you’re not guessing next time.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Not because it kickstarts your metabolism, but because it sets up every meal after it.

Start the day on track and you’re far more likely to stay on track at lunch and dinner. Skip it or eat whatever and the plan usually goes out the window.

Same breakfast, three ways:

Overnight oats to grab and go
Warm oats when you’ve got a few minutes
A smoothie when you’re on the run

DM me “RECIPE” and I’ll send you the full recipe.

No, two eggs aren’t 500 calories. They’re roughly 150 on their own, depending on size.

I deliberately exaggerated some numbers to highlight how misleading an online calorie comparison can be.

Some posts get the numbers right. Others don’t. But even accurate numbers can leave out important context.

Fat provides about 9 calories per gram, compared with 4 for carbs. That’s why foods rich in fat can pack more calories into a smaller portion.

That doesn’t automatically make them a worse choice.

Fats are essential. It helps your body absorb vitamins A, D, E and K and provides essential fatty acids. Avocado, nuts, seeds and olive oil are great sources of unsaturated fats.

Carbs help fuel your day and your training. Foods like fruit, vegetables and wholegrains also provide fibre, vitamins and minerals.

You don’t need to choose one side of the comparison. Include both and adjust your portions to suit your goals.

If fat loss is your goal, your overall calorie intake still matters. So does getting the nutrients your body needs.

Check the numbers, but don’t judge a food by its calories alone.

Save this for the next comparison that makes you question a nutritious food.

Proud to coach this crew 👊

A little glimpse of ACTIV8. Everyone put in the effort, we had plenty of laughs, and it was such a good day together.

What I’m most proud of is the progress each person made in their own way, whether that was with their fitness, routines or daily habits.

Interested in the next ACTIV8 eight week challenge? DM me INTERESTED and I’ll keep you posted.

Thank you for your hospitality @tribesocialfitness

Good coaching is more than counting reps. It’s having someone guide your form, help you train safely, and encourage you to push yourself as you build strength. ⬇️

Here are the cues I’m using for this dumbbell row to focus on the lats

• Brace your core and keep your torso still.
• Let your shoulder reach slightly at the bottom for a controlled stretch.
• Keep your elbow close to your side (“slice your body” so your elbow doesn’t flare out).
• Drive your elbow back towards your hip.
• Think “elbow pulls, hand follows”. Your hand holds the dumbbell and comes along for the ride.
• Keep your shoulder away from your ear, then lower the dumbbell slowly.

Want help with your training, or interested in a PT session? DM me ‘INTERESTED’ and let’s chat.

This is the fruit cheat sheet you’ll actually use and save. 🍌🍓⬇️

Fruit is a simple way to add vitamins, minerals and fibre to your diet without adding a huge number of calories.

I’ve compared 27 fruits in two useful ways:

Calories per 100 g helps you compare calorie density by showing how much energy each fruit contains at the same weight.

Calories per portion gives you a rough visual guide using portions you can actually picture, like one fruit, a handful, a punnet or a wedge.

The portion column is only an average, but it gives you a practical idea without needing to weigh every piece of fruit.

No “good” or “bad” fruit. Just a simple reference to help you understand portions and track your intake more easily.

I usually get my fruit from @wholefarms because the quality is great and the prices are hard to beat. 💪

Save this cheat sheet for later. What’s always in your fruit bowl? 👇

Calories are estimates for the edible portion and include dietary fibre energy. Fruit sizes and varieties can differ, so I kept it simple for easy viewing.
