In a world that increasingly values health and wellness, CJ Scally, a seasoned personal trainer from Auburn Village, has launched an essential new resource: Your 8 Week Plan. This book consolidates his extensive experience in fitness and nutrition, providing a comprehensive guide for individuals seeking to transform their bodies and lifestyles.
A Journey of Passion and Expertise
CJ’s journey into the world of fitness began in 2010 when he discovered his passion for weightlifting. "It’s a big part of my life; even today, I still go four to five times a week. I absolutely love it," he reflects. This enthusiasm not only fueled his personal fitness journey but also inspired him to pursue a career in the industry. After earning his Level 6 qualification in personal training, exercise, and health from the University of Limerick in 2013, CJ began to make a name for himself as a knowledgeable and approachable trainer.
With Your 8 Week Plan, CJ aims to support newcomers to the gym, as well as seasoned fitness enthusiasts looking to improve their routines. The book serves as a guide to help readers build confidence in the gym, ensuring they understand the exercises and have a structured plan to follow.
A Comprehensive Guide to Fitness and Nutrition
"If you’re looking to start in the gym, you want to have the confidence to go knowing that you have a good idea of the exercises," CJ advises. His book emphasizes preparation, offering readers the tools to practice at home and develop a solid understanding of their workout plans to prevent injury.
Besides physical training, CJ recognizes the role of nutrition in achieving fitness goals. He has packed Your 8 Week Plan with delicious, healthy recipes that are high in protein and designed to keep you feeling full. "The book is packed with tasty, healthy recipes that you can try at home," he adds. These recipes aim to encourage creativity in the kitchen while promoting nutritious eating habits.
Key Principles for Weight Loss
When discussing the essential principles for weight loss, CJ highlights two main strategies: increasing physical activity and choosing filling foods. Foods such as eggs, chicken, fish, steak, and potatoes not only offer substantial satisfaction but also contribute to a balanced diet.
“Eating foods that are high in satiety can help you avoid bingeing on less nutritious options,” he explains. "If you have a diet that’s high in good protein foods, you’re less likely to binge on biscuits.” Instead of viewing foods as ‘good’ or ‘bad,’ CJ suggests focusing on a balanced approach, allowing for occasional treats in moderation.
Moreover, CJ emphasizes the importance of incorporating movement into one’s lifestyle. "Make the gym part of your lifestyle, not a chore," he suggests. For those who may not find joy in traditional gym workouts, he encourages exploring alternative forms of physical activity that resonate with personal interests.
Accessibility of ‘Your 8 Week Plan’
Your 8 Week Plan is available for purchase at Just Books in Mullingar, the Athlone bookshop, and on Amazon. This accessibility ensures that readers from all walks of life can embark on their fitness journey with the guidance of a recognized expert.
CJ’s educational background is impressive, boasting additional qualifications in nutrition from the Elite Academy and business from the Dublin Business School, alongside studies in applied electronics at DIT, Kevin Street. This multifaceted expertise allows him to address a wide range of concerns that individuals may face on their fitness path.
