12 week transformation

Today I started my very own 12 week transformation. As the Director of Revoluiton, my company has helped so many people transform their bodies in12 weeks. I've now decided that it's time to take my own personal physique to the next level.

At 17% body fat, most people might feel happy with that but I work in an environment where all of the trainers who work at Revolution have body fat at 10% or below. So although my goal is for myself, I'd be lying if I said part of my motivation to improve my body wasn't to show the youngsters how it's done.

I've used Revolution's tried and tested formula to set my goal:

Specifically - I want to get my body fat down to between 7% and 10%, and I want to have a body as good as anyone on the cover of any fitness magazine. In fact, I want to be on the cover of a fitness magazine.

My goal excites me - It's so important that your goal excites you. That is where motivation comes from. At this point, goal setting can become slighty contradictory. I've written before about makimg a goal realistic, although if you set yourself a lame goal then you're never going to make the nutritional and lifestyle changes necessary. That's why I've really challanged myself. I've played pro football, I've fought at the York Hall in a boxing match and I've run a marathon, so why shouldn't I achieve this?

Visualise - I've used the front cover of Men's Fitness to help with my visualisation, and I'm targeting a physique as good as the guy in September's edition (incidently, I've written an article in that edition on page 106).

I'll be posting training videos and loads of helpful tips on how to transform your body in 12 weeks.

Here is what I've eaten today:

5.45am - 4 Hazelnuts, 2 Almonds, 2 Walnuts with a 35ml Yakult yogurt drink

10.00 - Micro Whey protein shake (straight after training)

11.15 - Porridge with water and small amount of honey

14.00 - 1 organic chicken breast, sweet potato, carrotts and brocolli

17.00 - a quarter of organic chicken breast with very small portion of veg from above

19.30 - Fillett of cod with stir fried green veg
