How to Get in the Best Shape of Your Life in 6 Weeks...
That’s called a hook ⬆️ and it’s something you’ll see all over the internet when someone’s trying to sell you something.
So let’s talk about what you can actually do in 6 weeks.
Now, if I wanted to get in the shape of my life in 6 weeks, it would mean intense dieting and a heavy training load.
Not something I currently have the appetite for. (Excuse the pun.)
We all talk a good game, but the reality of getting dick-skin lean—what people think they want—is tough.
It involves sacrifice. A lot of it.
And most of us (myself included) aren’t really up for what’s required.
Reality Check
I recently decided I’d tighten up my nutrition and stop drinking for 6 weeks.
That lasted 6 days—until a family dog walk ended with a pub trip.
So I decided to fuck my diet and grab a couple beers and some crisps with my wife and son.
That moment mattered more than abs ever could.
So Let’s Reframe the Goal
If I wanted to get healthier and feel awesome in 6 weeks, here’s exactly what I’d do...
1. Nail the Big Rocks First
Sleep
- What time do you wake up?
- Count back 8 hours. That’s your new bedtime.
- I know there’s good stuff on TV, but turn it off and go to sleep.
Water
- Drink more of it.
- Women: aim for 3L/day
- Men: aim for 4L/day
- It’s easier than you think—buy a 1L bottle and refill it 3–4 times.
- If you don’t like water… please don’t tell me. We're not friends!
2. Move Every Day
No, not the gym every day.
But move your body daily.
- Walk for 45 minutes?
- Do a yoga session?
- Hit the gym?
For most people, this is a solid weekly setup:
- Lift weights 2–3x per week
- Cardio 1–2x per week
- Low-intensity movement (walking, cycling, etc.) on the other days
Even if you just train at home twice a week and walk on the other days,
you’ll be ahead of 99% of the population.
3. Eat Like an Adult
We’re aiming for health, not single digit body fat %
.
- Eat 3 meals a day, each with:
- Protein
- Vegetables/Fruit
- Fats
- Carbs
- No need to count calories or weigh anything.
- Just focus on real food:
- Plenty of protein
- Lots of fruit and veg
- Healthy fats
- Low-GI carbs
Do that at every meal and you’re winning.
4. Alcohol
Don’t drink too much.
A bit won’t hurt.
A lot won’t help.
Simple.
That’s It
That’s what I’d do.
Nothing flashy.
No weird shit.
But if you did this consistently for 6 weeks?
I can guarantee you’d feel like a different person.
There are no real barriers to entry here.
Anyone can start. Everyone can benefit.
You don't even need a gym membership. (Although personally I hate training at home.)
And if you’d rather not do it alone?
