HOW TO ACHIEVE YOUR FAT LOSS GOALS WITH YOUR BUSY LIFE

In today's fast-paced world, balancing the demands of a high-performing job or running your own business with personal health goals can be a significant challenge. However, achieving fat loss and maintaining a healthy lifestyle while managing a busy career is entirely possible with the right strategies. Here’s how you can fit your fat loss goals into your hectic schedule:

1. Schedule your week ahead

Schedule Like a Meeting: Treat your workouts as non-negotiable meetings. Block out time in your calendar and stick to it as you would for any important business appointment. If someone tries to eat into your time, you must say no. Make time for yourself each day.

Efficient Workouts: “I don’t have the time to train for an hour and a half” is a phrase I hear all the time. Its not about how long you train for, but how effective you train 80% of my clients follow a 45 minute training regime.

Morning Routine: Eat the frog... this means getting the toughest task out of the way first. Please don’t eat any actual frogs. If working out isn’t your strong point then make it a priority to get it out of the way first thing.

2. Optimise Nutrition

Stop meal prepping: Instead accept you have a super busy schedule and stop trying to be perfect. Plus your meal prep will be pretty grim after 3 days in the fridge.

Healthy Office Snacks: Keep healthy snacks like nuts, fruits, or yogurt at your desk to avoid unhealthy munching. If you’re getting cravings at the office try and have a protein bar or shake... tasty and convenient

Smart Eating Out: Identify the healthy take out lunch spots in the area and take advantage of them for your lunch. Make sure it has clear calorie and macro information. 

3. Stay on the move

Standing Desks: Consider using a standing desk or a treadmill desk to increase your daily calorie burn.

Step count system: Put some systems in place to help hit your step count. Get off at an earlier tube stop and walk to work and getting out on your lunch break are just some that come to mind.

Walk and Talk: Hold walking meetings instead of sitting in a conference room. This keeps you moving and can boost creativity and productivity. You naturally have better tonality and enthusiasm when stood up. Don’t believe me? Try it!

4. Focus on high leverage tasks

Do what matters: Many coaches encourage tonnes of supplements, mediation, journaling, tonnes of stretching. Your goal is to improve your physique right? Do what moves the needle, the more silly tasks you set for yourself, the less you’ll achieve

Stop trying to be perfect: Success is doing the right thing, not doing everything right. Accept along this journey that you’re going to have bumps and fall off track. Success is determined from how long it takes for you to get back on track.

5. Set Realistic Goals

Small Milestones: Set achievable goals and break them down into smaller, manageable tasks. Celebrate small victories to stay motivated.

Consistency Over Perfection: Focus on being consistent rather than perfect. Even small, consistent efforts can lead to significant progress over time.

6. Leverage Technology

Fitness Apps: Use fitness apps to track your workouts, nutrition, and progress. Apps like MyFitnessPal, Fitbit, or Strava can provide valuable insights and keep you accountable.

Inputs and outputs: You track how much you earn and spend right? Your calories are no different. What are you intaking and what are you expending? Use technology to measure your metrics and adjust to achieve your goal.

7. Seek Support

Accountability Partners: Find a friend with similar goals to yourself and find a workout schedule that works for you. Getting back into the gym can be tough, but with a helping hand of a friend it can be much easier!

Professional Guidance: If possible, hire a personal trainer and coach who can tailor a plan specific to your busy lifestyle. Make sure you know there background, values and portfolio before you sign up...

 

Balancing fat loss goals with a demanding job or business responsibilities requires careful planning and dedication, but it’s entirely feasible. By integrating efficient workouts, smart nutrition choices, and stress management techniques into your daily routine, you can achieve your fat loss goals without compromising your professional performance. Remember, consistency is key, and every small step taken towards a healthier lifestyle counts.
