What I’d Do to Get in Shape in 6 Weeks (No BS Edition)

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?

We’ll take care of the training and hold you accountable to what you said you’d do.
