Ben Hookham Coaching

Which one of these lies have you believed before?

For me, it was thinking I needed to train 5-6 days a week to get results.

Turns out 3 good sessions done consistently worked far better.

Let me know yours below or DM me ‘DAD’ for a plan to help you where you are at👇

Nobody talks about the amount of dads who spend all year looking forward to their family holiday…

Then spend the whole week worrying about taking their t-shirt off.

Keeping it on in the pool.
Standing behind the camera.
Wondering if anyone notices you’ve put weight on.

I’ve coached enough dads to know that feeling is far more common than people think.

And the frustrating part?

Most of them don’t actually want a six pack (some might)

They just want to feel comfortable enough to enjoy summer with their kids.

If that’s you, you’ve still got time to do something about it.

May… completed it mate…

6 things we encourage in our house with our kids

Let me know if you agree or disagree with any below 👇🏼

I know how easy it is to keep putting yourself to the bottom of the list.

I did it for 2 years.

Waiting for the right time usually just becomes more waiting.

Start small. Build momentum. Let progress grow from there.

If you’re ready to stop overthinking and start properly, DM me START.

You don’t realise how much changes until you’re in it.

Different schedule.
Different energy.
Different priorities.

And yet... most people still try to approach fitness the same way they did before kids.

It needs to be different. It should be different.

The protein struggle is real. But it doesn’t have to be.

Find yourself trying to pack in a ton of protein at the end of the day?

Here is something that can help you out a little, just because it’s pancake day doesn’t mean you can’t start your day off with a high protein pancake meal any other day!

Here is a super simple, 5 ingredient (not including the toppings) recipe that will help you get 35g protein, for around 404 calories,

INGREDIENTS:
2 Eggs
1 Banana
35g Oats
30g Vanilla Protein Powder
Dash of Vanilla extract (optional)
20g Blueberries
1 Tbsp Maple Syrup

RECIPE:

First, pop a non-stick frying pan on a medium heat and leave it to heat up. Medium heat is key here - if it begins to smoke, it’s too hot.

Next, add your banana and eggs to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.

Add the protein powder and rolled oats to the blender and process until smooth. Ensure you add these after the bananas and eggs to prevent the powder from getting stuck at the bottom of the blender (no one likes a crusty blender).

Pour a quarter of the batter into your preheated frying pan, into a pancake around 5” wide.
Wait around 30 seconds (or until golden on the bottom), then use a spatula to flip the pancake and cook for a further 30 seconds. Repeat until you have no batter left.

Top with your favourite toppings (I like blueberries + Maple Syrup).
