Steve approached me struggling to get on top of his health.
He had a stressful business to run, which included lots of hours at the desk and even international travel.
He could get to the end of the day and have clocked up less than 1,000 steps and he’d round it off with something from Just Eat.
He told himself the usual things, “It’s been a long busy day”, “I’ve got nothing in”, “I’ve worked hard today, I deserve it”.
He needed to turn it around before it caught up with him.
Although Steve needed an overhaul, it wouldn’t work. We needed to slowly change things week by week.
We started with a dietary change and introduced a low step count.
The following week we worked on something else and got the step count a little higher.
Steve got to the point where he was exercising 3 times a week, reaching 10,000 steps a day and actually preparing his own food.
The weight came down and the energy and performance levels shot up.
On an international trip, Steve was requesting a side of vegetables to compliment his meals and even earned himself the nickname from the staff of Vegetable Man!
It’s a long road for Steve, but we put together something he could maintain despite how busy things got.
If you want to develop your routine, without complicated plans, calorie counting or sucking the fun out of life, book in a call now and we can see if we’re a fit.
If you’ve got this far, do it straight away, as you’ll no doubt forget later on.
Steve’s plan wasn’t complicated. He sort of knew what he needed to do, but wasn’t doing it. With a few smart choices and a high level of accountability, he soon got in his stride.
