What happened to you during the last Lockdown?⁠ ⁠ – Lost all structure and routine⁠ – Ate more⁠ – Drunk more⁠ – Felt isolated and lost⁠ – Had no energy or motivation⁠ – Worked stupid hours at home and felt exhausted⁠ ⁠ That’s just a few things that happened to a huge part of the population.⁠ ⁠ Not at PTIQ.⁠ ⁠ Every single man at PTIQ came out of Lockdown better than they went into.⁠ ⁠ They;⁠ – Looked better⁠ – Felt energized⁠ – Levelled up their confidence⁠ – Learned how to establish boundaries⁠ – Felt wanted and part of a tribe of people just like them⁠ – Build lasting habits and routines⁠ – Progressed years in the space of months⁠ ⁠ Because while everybody else was sat feeling sorry for themselves, we created a siege mentality.⁠ ⁠ We pulled the drawbridge up, and we looked after each other.⁠ ⁠ We pushed each other.⁠ ⁠ We kept each other accountable.⁠ ⁠ We supported each other when we felt low.⁠ ⁠ We forged friendships in the toughest of times.⁠ ⁠ We built incredible bodies we were proud of (even without gyms being open)⁠ ⁠ We lapped everybody sat on the couch.⁠ ⁠ And this Lockdown is going to be no different.⁠ ⁠ We see this as an opportunity to grow and develop, ready for when the world opens up again.⁠ ⁠ Do you want to be part of a team that supports you and wants to see you win?⁠ ⁠ Or do you want to be left out in the cold hoping for the best and getting nowhere fast?⁠ ⁠ I’m opening up spots at PTIQ because there’s strength in numbers.⁠ ⁠ So if you want to use Lockdown as an opportunity to build an incredible body, to forge an ironclad mindset, and come out of Lockdown and 2020 with unstoppable confidence and join our PTIQ tribe, then let’s chat.⁠ ⁠ Comment below with “TRIBE,” and we can chat.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠

“99% of diets don’t work.”⁠ ⁠ Apparently. ⁠ ⁠ Now, you’ve heard me bang on about diets having to be sustainable (that’s why starving yourself or cutting out all the foods you love doesn’t work)⁠ ⁠ You’ve heard me talk about tracking.⁠ Whether that’s food or activity, what get’s measured can be improved.⁠ ⁠ You’ve heard me talk about planning and preparing. Because preparation is the key to success, and it gives you clarity and control⁠ ⁠ But do you want to know why some people make changes that last and most people don’t?⁠ ⁠ Daily habits.⁠ ⁠ That’s how you make lasting change.⁠ ⁠ You want your new routine/regime/lifestyle to become a habit.⁠ ⁠ “A habit is a routine of behavior that is repeated regularly and tends to occur subconsciously.”⁠ ⁠ Imagine being able to make the changes you want and not even have to think about it!⁠ ⁠ That’s what I do with the guys at PTIQ. I give them the tools to change their habits, so their results last a lifetime.⁠ ⁠ Here are three things you can do to make some changes to your habits.⁠ ⁠ 1. Become aware of the cue – what is the thing that triggers the habit you want to stop. Is it emotions like stress? Is it time, or is it a person or place?⁠ ⁠ 2. Swap the habit with something that gives you the same reward.⁠ If you come home and open a bottle of wine because you’re stressed because you feel it relaxes you, what can you replace that with that will give you the same feeling of stress relief? A 10-minute meditation, journaling, going for a walk?⁠ ⁠ 3. Give yourself permission to make that change for one week and see how it works out. We must permit ourselves and tell ourselves a new story.⁠ “I’m a person who doesn’t need wine to distress; I can do destress by going for a walk.”⁠ ⁠ Find this useful?⁠ Tag someone who needs to change some habits.
