Hello and welcome to this episode of the ESG Fitness Podcast.

The sun has come out and we've made it through touchwood.

The dark days, right?

Days are getting lighter, people are getting excited by it.

I can't explain the increase of my mood since the sun has started shining, just even just a little

bit and it's a little bit lighter in the evenings. I didn't think I really struggled with

sad as in seasonal affective disorder, but just like the improvement in my mood, despite being

quite honest, like quite a lot of things have not gone that well for me over the last couple weeks and I'm like I feel I feel fantastic so

yeah great and this I love and there's a bit of like excitement in the air and I've had a

lot more applications for coaching as well I think people are starting to be like

oh someone's coming maybe I want to get in shape. Now, I get the appeal of quote-unquote, summer

shred type thing. And honestly, rather than tell you not to do this, because quite honestly as well,

I know that some of you are going to do it anyway. I'm going to

talk you through the right way to do this, the evidence-based way to do this, and how to capitalize

on that motivation you have to get in shape for summer without also tripping yourself up at the same

time. And I actually have no issue with doing kind of summer pushes with clients. Many of my

one-to-ones are doing this at the moment and the vast majority of people on my

committed program which is the continuation program that people go on to

after commit six are also doing this as well. So I'm going to go through kind of my

eight-ish I think it started with eight, eight steps,

but as many of the more frequent podcast listeners will probably have realized, sometimes I'll be like,

this is my three-step guide.
