🌞Last beach circuit of the summer this morning.

Same as it's been most Sundays since April.

Session on the sand, then coffee and an açaí bowl looking at the sea.

Beautiful 🙌🏻

This is genuinely one of my favourite things about summer.

Same faces most weeks.

Same place.

And somehow it never gets old.

This is definitely my happy place.

5 weeks out from the shoot now, so training shifts a bit from here.

But I'll take a summer of sunrise sessions and coffee on the beach over almost anything else.

The real test of willpower isn't the gym.

It's walking past the M&S picky bits and leaving with f**k all 😢

Over 40 and not sure where to start?

I made you a shortcut.

Whether you're coming back after years off or you just want to finally get stronger and leaner.

Guessing is the slow way to do it.

So I built a free 60-second quiz.

Answer 7 questions and you'll get your Strong-Over-40 Score, your "type", and the single biggest thing to focus on first — plus a guide matched to your goal.

No sign-up marathon.

Just your score and a clear starting point.

Or drop a 💪 in the comments and I'll send it over.

👉🏻 The hardest message you'll ever send me is the first one.

I know, because people tell me all the time.

Sat on it for weeks. Drafted something, deleted it. Convinced themselves they'd wait until they'd "sorted themselves out a bit first"

Nobody messages me feeling great about where they're starting from.

Embarrassed about the photos, the clothes that don't fit, how long it's been since they did anything.

Every single one.

Here's what actually happens on the call.

I'm not judging.

I'm not totting up a list of what's gone wrong. I've heard it all before, and none of it surprises me or puts me off — that's not what I'm about.

The message doesn't get easier by waiting. It just gets sent later.

A couple of September slots. Message me. Nothing salesy, just a chat.

Nearly 10kg down.

Do you want to know how she's done it?

Every time I've given her something — a tweak to her week, a food swap, a reason to go heavier when she'd have stayed comfortable.

She's gone away and actually done it.

Not perfectly.

Not instantly.

But genuinely tried it, given it a fair run, and came back with what happened.

And I want to be honest about the other version, because I've seen plenty of it.

Some people collect advice and then do absolutely f**k all with it.

New plan

New diet

New programme.

Nod along, change nothing, wonder why nothing changes.

Always searching, never starting.

The searching feels you're actually doing something about it.

You're not.

She showed up, took things on board, did the unglamorous week-after-week bit.

That's what it takes to get results.

Now, she's training in shorts she'd never have worn, lifting weights she thought she'd have no chance of doing, and nearly 10kg lighter!

Coaching only works on people who let it.

She let it.

6:30 this morning.

Fresh coffee.

Sat outside the tent and watched the sun come up over the hedge.

Just the birds singing and nothing else.

Sometimes it's just nice to sit and appreciate the little, simple things.
