How I Transformed From Clinically Obese to a Dedicated Athlete in 12 Months While Working a Desk Job.

Someone recently messaged me after reading one of my blogs, “Jayden, your story is so inspiring, and your transformation is amazing.” If you had told me a year ago that I’d get messages like that when I was 101kgs with a BMI of 34.1 — so clinically obese — I probably would’ve laughed while chowing down on a KitKat.…CONTINUE READING

I’m just an ordinary bloke, and if this can happen for me, it can happen for you, too — no doubt about it.

You can have and deserve the satisfaction of feeling at ease without worrying about slipping up, disappointing yourself, or having doubts like, “What if it doesn’t work for me?”

It’s time to subtly take control and point your ocean liner a notch in the right direction because you haven’t got to make radical changes.

You haven’t gotta survive on celery sticks, run marathons, or lift weights like a powerlifter to achieve your dream body.
