Had a load of messages after sharing the knee update:
“You’re so inspiring BUT…
“you must be gutted”
“bet you’re really frustrated”
“you must have had a moment where you just sat there like (sad face).
And honestly?
Yep. I absolutely did.
For about 15 minutes I was in full “why me?”, “how bad is it?”. Shock. That I didn’t just do the ACL and medial meniscus but also my lateral meniscus is in 5 pieces which can’t be repaired in that state….Frustration. Thinking about the future – work, football, Hyrox…
But after that?
There was no point staying there.
I couldn’t change what happened.
So the only question left was:
– What CAN I do?
And the quicker I asked that question, the quicker I felt better. Even if it was tiny stuff — adapting exercises, using the Compex (electro stimulation), icing, hobbling around, upper body, single leg squats, bending exercises, focusing on what is possible… it made me feel productive. It made me feel in control again.
And it’s the same on any health and fitness journey and with the the 1000s of people we work with at Fruci Fit.
Because on a fitness journey, the difference between people who get results and people who give up is this:
– They shorten the gap between
“I’ve messed up… what’s the point…”
and
“Right — what can I do next?”
That gap — the dwelling, the beating yourself up, the sabotage loop — THAT is what keeps most people stuck.
You don’t need perfection.
You don’t need to “go all in”.
You don’t need to wait for life to calm down.
You just need to shorten the gap.
Can’t do a certain exercise? We adapt it.
Had a rough day? We course-correct.
Motivation dipped? We support you and get you DOING.
Busy schedule? We find the doable version.
Doing something always beats doing nothing — and a year from now you’ll be shocked at what you can do because you started.
So if you want January to feel different — not another round of “I’ll start again Monday”, not another month of dwelling and feeling stuck — the 28-Day Kickstart is your chance to reset, refocus, and get back to feeling good again.
If you want a January where you feel fitter, more in control, and not ruled by that “ugh I’ve messed up” voice…
Message me with “kickstart” and I’ll send you the details so you can know that come January, you’re already sorted and ready to go with something in place.
That’s one less thing to do and worry about.
