    Yesterday I was in the studios recording a couple of upcoming YouTube videos which I’ll be dropping in the next 2 weeks.

    As part of the process, I’m enjoying getting into my writing again and… I’ve been using more of my running/training to get the creative juices flowing again.

    My running specifically has been a little on and off… some weeks once a week… others twice. I realised the inconsistency has been because of one reason:

    I had no plan!

    Business has been busy so I’ve been working pretty crazy hours and with no real training plan (one of my goals this year is to not have a goal whilst maintaining my leanness!)... I’ve pulled back to maintenance.

    It got to the weekend and after a really hard 13.5k run (which shouldn’t have been), I figured I just need to get a bit more consistent with a game plan.

    So it’s 7am BST now, and I’m going to head out for a “tempo” run outside - wish me luck!
    As I dive into the workout, I’ll leave you with today’s Transformation Thursday…

    3 Ways To Look, Feel & Perform Your Best


    1. Secret to building a physique you love

    Last week’s RNT “Enter The Void” workshop was off the charts.

    We videoed the event so I’m excited to share the footage with you once it’s live next week.

    The big takeaway was the importance of intensity. And taking yourself to *that place* during your sets.

    So I have a challenge for you. Film a few of your big training sets and really push yourself to a place you didn’t think was possible.

    If you upload to your Instagram story, tag me on @akashvaghela and I’ll review to see if you went far enough! (DM me just incase too)

    I say this because the difference between building an OK physique and a GREAT physique is always training intensity.

    And not the specific programme, rep range etc…

    2. Cardio for your heart and health… not calories!

    Cardio is often only used during periods of weight loss. But I’m a big believer in doing it year round for your heart and overall health.

    It really is a game changer when you feel fit, and you’re not out of breath chasing down your kids or flagging a taxi down.

    If you’re not doing any cardio, start with 2 sessions a week of 30 minutes on any machine of your choice, or simply a fast walk outside!

    (I wrote this one to myself this morning haha!)

    3. Find your accountability buddy!

    In my recent masterclass (I’ll release dates of the next ones soon), I shared a few accountability hacks.

    One of my favourites is finding an accountability buddy - someone who also wants to get healthier and/or lose weight.

    Once you find them, create a WhatsApp group with a few rules of how you’ll hold each other to account on a daily / weekly basis.

    It could be as simple as writing out a few habits (10,000 steps, 3 litres water, 7 hours sleep) and putting a tick or cross each day.

    Want To Dive Deeper?


    In 2018, Hiten was shocked to discover that he had become diabetic and was now overweight. 

    Terrified for his health, he began his weight loss journey there and then. His goal was to be a good role model for his kids, feel comfortable in his clothes and take care of his health.

    But the problem was… he wasn’t quite sure how. After his results plateaued for nine months, Hiten wanted a plan that was LONG TERM to kick start his progress again.

    Because simply listening to the RNT podcast helped him lose 36.5 kg (!), so he knew the official RNT programme would be the answer to go to the next level!

    Hiten joined a year ago and hasn’t looked back!

    He was especially attracted to our longer-term commitment because he knew he’d learn more about how to take care of his body and health AFTER he lost the weight.

    Today, Hiten’s body transformation has shown his kids what commitment can achieve and the confidence he has wearing his clothes is through the roof!
