S2 E60 - Why Do I Do This? What Keeps Me Going?
I've had a few people ask me recently what keeps me going and what I'm still working towards
The honest answer is that, ultimately, I do this for me
It's not about external validation, social media attention or proving myself to other people
Training keeps me in a good place physically and mentally, and everything else — my business, relationships and the example I set for others — is a bonus that comes from that
I also talk about my long-term goal of eventually stepping on a bodybuilding stage
For me, that's about the challenge - pushing my body and mind to their limits and seeing what I'm capable of
I've always been driven by the desire to be better
That applies to my physique, my coaching, my career, and being the best father and husband I can be
I also reflect on the last few months, when an injury took away something that had been a huge part of my life for years
Not being able to train forced me to find other ways to manage myself and gave me an opportunity to learn more about myself during a difficult period
Ultimately, the message is simple
Find your reason. Do it for yourself. Keep improving
Because when your motivation comes from within, it's much easier to keep going when things inevitably get difficultIf you'd like to know more about how I can help, click the link below and let's have a chat...https://klk9i3cuz2q.typeform.com/to/aX1uzkqpIf you'd like to find me on other social media platforms or get in touch to ask questions, you can do so at the following:Facebook - www.facebook.com/benhowardfitnessInstagram - www.instagram.com/benhowardfitnessYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@benhowardfitnessTwitter - www.twitter.com/benhowardfitnesTikTok - www.tiktok.com/@benhowardfitnessWebsite - www.teamben-e-fit.comEmail - ben@benhowardfitness.com

S2 E59 - Time should not be the thing holding you back
I get it
Work, family, responsibilities and everything else life throws at you can make finding time for training and nutrition feel almost impossible
But time probably isn’t the real problem
In this video, I explain why being busy shouldn’t stop you from making meaningful progress with your physique — and why priorities, planning and having the right strategy matter so much more
I cover
Why getting to the gym 3–4 times a week isn't enough on its own
Why your training needs to be properly structured and challenging
How meal preparation can actually save you time
Why planning your food in advance makes busy evenings much easier
Why you organise your work and family commitments but often don't give your physique the same priority
Why improving your physique isn't selfish
How better physical progress can improve your energy, confidence and how you carry yourself
Why putting in more effort isn't always the answer — sometimes you need better direction
I'm 40, a business owner, husband and dad, and I've come from a busy corporate career myself
I know what it's like to have plenty of responsibilities and still want your physique to reflect the standards you hold yourself to
If you're putting in a lot of effort but not seeing the results you feel you deserve, you may not need to work harder
You may simply need to work differently
