That Dostoevsky has taught me anything, let alone about workout consistency is not something I expected to be saying as a health and fitness coach!

But finishing Crime and Punishment on holiday turned out to have more in common with getting in shape after 40 than I could have imagined.

I'm Chris, a health and fitness coach for the over 40s, and after 16 years of helping people get fit and lose weight in midlife I know that workout consistency is the thing that separates the people who get results from the people who keep starting over.

Most people who struggle to stay consistent with exercise aren't lazy or undisciplined. They're just not using the right kind of motivation, and they're not prepared for the parts of any fitness journey that feel pointless, boring and like they're going nowhere. Sound familiar?

This video is about embracing the grind, using your ego as a consistency tool rather than pretending you only work out for sensible grown up reasons, and what finishing something genuinely hard does to your sense of what you're capable of.

Whether you're trying to lose weight, build muscle, or just get fit after 40, the consistency problem is almost always the same. And a 650 page Russian novel with no paragraph breaks turned out to explain it better than anything else I've come across.

Why can't I lose weight? If you're in your 40s or 50s, eating reasonably well, getting some exercise in, but the weight just won't shift, you're almost certainly making at least two or three of these six common mistakes.

I'm Chris, a health and fitness coach who has worked with men and women in midlife for 16 years, and these are the habits I see repeatedly that stop you losing weight after 40.

Most people trying to lose weight in midlife aren't making obvious mistakes.

They're not eating pizza every night or skipping the gym entirely. They're making reasonable efforts to lose fat and still getting nowhere, and that's genuinely frustrating.

The mistakes that are actually keeping you stuck and failing to lose weight are quieter than that, habits and patterns that feel fine in isolation but stack on top of each other and quietly cancel out everything you're doing right.

This video covers six of them, all things I've seen consistently over 16 years of coaching men and women to lose fat after 40.

Bulletproof Weeks System: https://ovr40.co/bws - How long does it take to lose weight? If you've been doing everything right for a few weeks and nothing seems to be changing, this video gives you a coach's honest answer based on 16 years of working with real people.

I'm Chris, a health and fitness coach for the over 40s, and the question of how long fat loss actually takes is probably the one that comes up most with new clients, usually a few weeks in when motivation starts to waver.

In this video I cover realistic fat loss timelines and why one to two pounds a week is genuinely good progress, why weight loss is never linear and what to do when the scales stop moving, how to track your progress properly so you actually know whether it's working, why not all weight loss is good and how to avoid losing muscle alongside fat, and the simple framework I use with clients to create a sustainable weekly calorie deficit without making your life miserable.
