A SUPER EFFECTIVE METHOD TO HELP YOU ACHIEVE MORE

Here’s a super effective method to help you achieve more, whilst not having to rely on motivation when you’re really not feeling it!!


You’ve had a hard day at work, a busy week, a stressful meeting, got stuck in traffic, whatever it may be, it’s made you think there’s nothing worse than heading to the gym right now.


One of the biggest barriers to progress is procrastination, and justifying excuses around it. Trust me the majority of people feel this more often than you think!! Most people just let another day slip by and blame their lack of will power. Here’s how you can avoid that…


Whenever you second guess something you were going to do, use the 4 minute rule.


Spend 4 minutes doing the do (I’ll explain in the next paragraph) and see how you feel from there. If you really don’t feel like it, you’ve given it a go and aim to get back on track asap.


But here’s the magic, 9 times out of 10 you’ll start and probably get into it, more so you’ll probably feel really good about it afterwards. Here’s and example of doing the do…


Getting Your Workouts Done - Spend 4 minutes getting your gym kit on, warming up, or getting in the car to go to the gym. Then decide if you’re going to continue or not.


You can basically use this method on anything you’re putting off, avoiding or procrastinating around! Trust me it makes a huge difference.


Out of 10 gym sessions you might miss, if this method gets you to the gym on 6 occasions then that’s a win for me!


Go apply the 4 minute rule and let that progress add up for you!!

Great trainer and great guy! Knows exactly how to push and encourage you to reach your goals. Full of knowledge, ensures that you are also learning the reason why when running through strength and technique drills. Can’t recommend enough!

I have been doing PT and small group training with Kier for years now! He is the best PT I have ever had, and I have tried a few! Not only is he motivating but he listens! Sometimes being a counsellor as well as a PT. He is always pushing me to do better and is such a great guy! If you are looking for small group training or 1-1 PT then look no further! He's the best!

I have been with OlsenFitness for a few years now. Before working with Kier, I thought I was fit for hockey and didn’t think I could do much more to improve my fitness levels. However, since working with Kier, I have become stronger, more agile, and more confident on the pitch.  He has helped me train smarter. He believes in his clients; he’s encouraging and supportive and is always available to discuss any issues or concerns around training and nutrition. Thank you OlsenFitness!

I have never been someone who enjoys the gym, I also dislike running but health & fitness is important to me.  I initially joined small group training Kier ran & fell in love. They were engaging, every session we did something different, it was challenging in strength & fitness & before long I started to notice changes in my physique. Before lockdown I took the plunge & started 1-1 PT sessions & I have never looked back. I am continuously learning about the balance of life, nutrition & training. Kier is the most friendly person ever, he works with your lifestyle & together you can start to achieve. I am now lifting weights I once thought were for body builders! I am growing in strength & fitness, my knowledge around nutrition is improving & so is my physique.
