@thameswater no water in W1T - is this due to the flood in West London?

[Harry Cox @coachedbycox]

It’s not possible to go from not working out to consistently working out 3x per week and your life not to get better

[Harry Cox @coachedbycox]

Fat loss must involve some form of restriction, either:

• Restriction of food volume (same foods, less of it)

• Restriction of food choices (e.g. no carbs, no junk food etc.)

[Harry Cox @coachedbycox]

A strategy that accounts for 8 months of fat loss is far more appropriate for many people

[Harry Cox @coachedbycox]

The fact that you want to lose weight in 8 weeks is the exact reason you continue to never lose weight

[Harry Cox @coachedbycox]

This is not mostly a discipline problem, this is a strategy problem

[Harry Cox @coachedbycox]

Skipping the gym =

+ Immediate pleasure (time and effort saved)
- Delayed pain (guilt and shame)

Going to the gym =

- Immediate pain (Effort and time)
+ Delayed pleasure (Accomplishment and pride)

The pain is inevitable but one lasts for an hour, the other for a lifetime

[Harry Cox @coachedbycox]

Weighing yourself in the evening is more useful for measuring how much you’ve eaten that day than it is for measuring how much weight you’ve lost

[Harry Cox @coachedbycox]

The feet are one of the most overlooked aspects of lower body movement.

You can’t expect movement to be effective when the foundations you stand on are unstable and weak.

Strengthen and stabilise the feet and watch ankle, knee and hip issues disappear.

Imagine your health as a bank. Every time you have a poor nights sleep or power through the day with caffeine you are taking a loan out of the bank. This can only last for so long and lots of you have some serious loan repayments due...

@TheWiseFoster Thanks for coming Joh, glad you enjoyed it!

If any #DOPConf delegates get the chance to visit @coachedbycox do it. Picked up some great tips on moving more (not exercising!) and trying to improve the huge impact of sedentary jobs on our physical health.

[Harry Cox @coachedbycox]

@RachelELindsay Thanks Rachel, glad you enjoyed it!

The calories in 3 chocolate digestives is roughly equivalent to how many calories you’ll burn doing 30 minutes of cardio. Consider this next time you’re unconsciously eating the office biscuits😅

[Harry Cox @coachedbycox]

Ask yourself: “Why do I want to get in shape?” before embarking on a physical change. Being able to answer this question will give you infinite motivation

[Harry Cox @coachedbycox]

If you don’t believe you can get in shape then you won’t get in shape.

[Harry Cox @coachedbycox]

Most people who say “I don’t like tracking my food”🙄 haven’t tried it for long enough.

You have unlimited choice on what you can eat but can still almost guarantee you get the results you want? Sounds pretty good to me🔥

[Harry Cox @coachedbycox]

Time management is key for getting into shape. Learning to find the time to train and prepare your meals is so important for getting the results you want.
