Everyone falls off. Holidays, a bad month at work, a kid off school, an injury. The people who get results are not the ones who never miss. They are the ones who come back fastest. Here is how.
Step one: book one session, not a plan
Do not plan the week. Do not buy new trainers. Book one class or one Personal Training slot for the next 48 hours and turn up to that. The plan comes after the first session, never before it.
Step two: protein at the next meal
Not tomorrow. The next meal. A palm of protein, some veg, done. It resets the eating without a diet starting on Monday.
Step three: tell Stevie
One message: "Fallen off, coming back Tuesday." That is it. No explanation needed, nobody is annoyed, and the session will be scaled to where you are today, not where you were eight weeks ago.
What not to do
- Do not try to make up for lost time with a punishment session. You will be sore for a week and skip the next one.
- Do not wait for Monday, the first of the month, or after the wedding.
- Do not weigh yourself first. Train first, weigh next week.
If it has been more than a few months
Start with the free consult again. Ten minutes, honest, and the programme gets rewritten for now. The free consult is for new faces, but a returning client always gets a fair restart.
