Hello and welcome to this week's episode of the ESG Fitness podcast.

This week I have an amazing guest on the podcast and so much of what we discuss are the principles that I based commit to six around and more generally, my whole ethos around working with people to improve their lives generally.

And investing in your health and well-being is meant to make your whole life better.

And I think some people get, I wouldn't say confused about this, but I guess go down the wrong path and think

that they need to sacrifice their life in order to, I don't know, lose weight or lose body fat.

But when this is done well, you will notice that improved fitness, fat loss, body composition

all translates into various areas of your life. So you tend to be,

if done well, at least happier and more confident at work with your friends, with your family,

and probably most importantly, you feel better about you. And this is why I continuously talk about making change from a place of love and not hate.

And this is the secret, if you will, or the key to making your results enjoyable to maintain,

because by doing so, you are practicing self-love. There is no longevity

in diet and exercise from a place of negativity or hate. And if you're dieting and exercising because

you hate your body, you often end up falling into this yo-yo cycle of never being able to

maintain your results.

So moving on to the guest, who is Claire.

Some of you may remember Claire from the 162 crew days, if you were following me on

Instagram there.

Claire used to live with me.

We did a number of really funny partner exercise videos.

I found them funny.

One of them had, like, I just can't get over.

I'll have to find it.
