Over the last decade we’ve had the opportunity at LPT to help thousands of people transform their body, increase self-confidence and live a more fulfilling life.

MOST importantly we’ve shown people HOW & WHY getting in great shape DOESN’T have to be as complicated as everyone makes out. 

In this article I’m going to spill the beans on transformation by sharing my BIG THREE Golden Nuggets. You can use these 3 tips to help you finally get the body you desire in 2016 WITHOUT enduring any more frustrating yo-yo diets.

Before we get to the good stuff though, I’d like to ask a quick question. Possibly THE most important question nobody ever asks…

What do YOU consider as “SUCCESS” in regards to achieving your fitness & weight loss goals?

For example:

…Do you base success purely by your weight on the scales?

…By which clothes you can fit into? 

…How confident you feel?

…How far you can run without getting out of breathe

What else?

….?

….?

I cannot stress enough, how important it is to be CLEAR on what YOU believe “healthy” & “in good shape” is.

Otherwise how can you measure or know when you’ve achieved it?

For instance, our transformation programs at LPT have helped people like Alison Copeland lose 4 stone in 16 weeks & Kris Jessiman (below) lose 5 stone  in 8 months.

But should you be impressed by stories like these ========>>?

I say, NO!!!!

 

 

 

Change Vs Transformation (What your gym/diet club didn’t tell you)

Truth is ANYONE can achieve weight loss results like these with all kinds of diet approaches. 5:2 diet. Slimming world. Weight watchers.

Heck if the calories are low enough, you can lose weight on a Mars Bar diet!

However, what ISN’T as well publicised, is how long results like these are sustained for after the weight loss was achieved?

This is what we are interested in & so should you.

Hint: When “health” is compromised in pursuit of weight loss, things soon turn south (LITERALLY!).

I’m proud to say LPT members like Kris & Alison are still at fighting weight 3 years after their transformation. They’re even running 10k runs & 1/2 marathons too! (Neither of them had done before joining LPT).

Don’t Believe What You Read!

So next time you see a magazine advertising how, “Mary lost 3 stone in 10 days with (INSERT NEW DIET FAD)” …think twice before getting sucked into whatever crazy gimmick they’re selling.

And herein lies the BIGGEST mistake people make.

Focusing ONLY on short-term outcomes. 

…“I need to lose 1/2 a stone for my wedding day”.

…“I want to lose weight so I look good on the beach this Summer”.

…“I want to get into my favourite party dress this Xmas”.

Don’t get me wrong, these ^^^ are FANTASTIC goals.

But aren’t you tired of repeating the same one’s year after year?

Well imagine NEVER having to go through this process again?

Imagine if staying in shape was as automatic as brushing your teeth?

Wouldn’t life would be so much easier & satisfying?

LPT’s SOLUTION: Move with Purpose. Live with Passion

At LPT we teach members how to do this by aligning with a bigger vision for themselves.

We have a name for the whole process. …Purposeful Transformation.

 

It’s pretty simple. We help people connect with their big “WHY” & then simply reverse engineer a plan back from it.

See when you have a strong why in place, NOTHING will stop you from achieving your goals.

How do I know this is possible?

SIMPLE. 95% of our members were just like you.

They had tried everything in the past to no avail.

Then when they chose LPT they successfully managed to get the body they wanted along with the mindset to maintain results.

So now you understand what Transformation is, you’re probably raring to find out what our 3 Golden Nuggets are to achieving it?

 Okay here we go, your THREE Golden Nuggets to Body Transformation:

# 1: Your Eating Plan Must be EQUALLY as Enjoyable as Healthy

I LOVE following starvation diets, counting calories & living off meal replacement shakes to stay slim…SAID NO ONE EVER!

Yet it’s these diet plans ^^ that make up 90% of the diet industry!

Its no surprise unhealthy & restrictive diets like these are IMPOSSIBLE to stick to. 

Even less surprising is the obesity epidemic which is only set to get worse.

In fact, the only thing you can predict with  diets like these are serious health problems.

Sure you’ll lose weight in the short term with these diet plans. But once you stop dieting, you’re almost certain to put all the weight back on.

 

We’ve found from years studying why some people get amazing results & some don’t, is it comes down to THREE key factors; Enjoyment, convenience & satisfaction.

1. You’ll NEVER stick to a diet you don’t enjoy.

2. You’ll NEVER stick to an eating plan that isn’t manageable around work, family & social engagements.

3. And you certainly won’t stick to a diet if it doesn’t satisfy your needs of hunger & taste.

LPT helps people build the right habits & behaviours they need into their life to ensure you are ticking all 3 boxes and contrary to belief these meals can be absolutely DELICIOUS!

#2: An Exercise Plan PROVEN to Work with Tangible Results

Most people make one of two big mistakes with exercise.

1. It’s either too sporadic and has no progression or logic to it.

(Which means you never know if you’re actually getting fitter or not)

OR 

2. They’re just NOT moving enough!

Modern society with all its gadgets & gizmos has made it easier than ever to be lazy.

The key is getting the balance between the most EFFECTIVE training methods with regular recovery periods to give your body time to regenerate, repair & grow stronger.

Also, following an exercise program appropriate to your fitness level allows you to make progress step-by-step, every week. This is SUPER important as its this little WINS along the way that give you the confidence to build momentum & set even bigger goals for yourself.

Equally you should NOT put so much stress on your body that you feel like your legs are going to fall off!

In my experience this only de-motivates people further by making them feel like they’re not fit enough or not good enough.

The Secret?

So how do you do this?

Well first up you have to make one CRITICAL decision.

Decide to exercise with workouts OR with training.

Maybe you’re not sure of the difference?

In which case read on…

Training Vs Workouts (What’s the difference?)

Workouts are simply a means to burning calories.

Workouts are much like playing spot as a hobby. They provide good light relief from life, can be fun & social BUT unfortunately workouts offer ZERO accountability, no means of tracking success AND worse of all..have no clear end goal as a target.

Training…

If you want to see REAL visible changes in your body, a structured training program will serve you 10 x FASTER results AND if you find the right coach, training can stile a LOT of fun!

Think of it this way.

Do you think Mo Farah, Usain Bolt or Jessica Ennis turn up to the gym for a “workout”.

Course not.

These athletes have (at a very minimum) a 3 month training cycle broken down into small bite size chunks that measure every single step of the journey, so that when things full off track they can re-evaluate the plan, tweak it & change accordingly.

So why should you be any different?

BIG TIP==> Use the same success principles as Olympic athletes to get in the best shape of your life.

Thats what we do at LPT.

Where to start?

Start by getting a training program written up by an expert coach who can program exercises into your plan that have PROVEN fat loss results.

Sure you may pay a little more than your local gym membership.

But if you get results 10 times faster is it not worth it?

In our LPT Transformation Challenge we take our clients through a 6 week progressive training system thats proven in studies to burn 9 times more fat than regular fitness training or gym classes.

After an initial movement screen you’re provided with a personalised training program which identifies the level of each exercise we want you to start at.

This way members never feel they’re not fit enough or worry about being left behind.

In addition, we make training fun by mixing it up between battling rope training, power-bands, suspension trainers, bodyweight & much more.

Even though its “training” these sessions are a LOT of fun, very motivational and give you a great sense of reward when you see your reps & weights increase each week.

#3: Social Support & Accountability

So far in this article we’ve covered the nutrition & training elements for transformation. But that’s certainly not all thats required.

But in my experience the no.1 factor to creating positive change in your life is to surround yourself with the right people.

Studies show social support increases your chances of success in losing weight by 224%!

That means you’re TWICE as likely to lose weight and reach your goals when you have the right people around you. Without motivation and accountability from a team it’s VERY easy to give up.

Even if you can afford to pay an expensive personal trainer for 1-2-1 sessions, you’ll have WAY more fun and MUCH better results when working in a group environment of like-minded people.

Therefore LPT transformation training is specifically designed to allow you to work as part of a group while continuing to benefit from working closely with your own expert coach.

So with less than a month to go before 2016, here’s a summary of things you need to lose weight & achieve success:

• Eat a healthy eating plan that satisfies your hunger AND taste (it doesn’t have to be restrictive)
• Ensure you’re following a fun “training program” NOT random workouts, that have no progression in-built.
• Hire an expert in transformation coaching to guide you through a program based on proven science so that you save time in the long run trying to work it all out for yourself.
• Train with a group of like-minded positive people to keep you motivated and empowered every day

Finally, remember, you do not change in the short term.

The objective is to change your life and create a long-term transformation inside and out.
