Listen Later

In today's episode, recorded in our bright and airy new studio, we unpack the essentials of training for optimal body composition and how to fuel your body to maximize training performance. šŸ‹ļøā€ā™€ļøšŸ’”

I share my journey from fasted workouts to understanding the crucial role of adequate nutrition in building a strong, toned and healthy body, not destroying it with harsh diets and exhaustive cardio. šŸ„—āž”ļøšŸ’Ŗ

Craig breaks down the physiology behind training and nutrition, emphasizing the importance of weight training when it comes to increasing muscle mass and consequently boosting basal metabolic rate (BMR). šŸ“ˆšŸ”¬

We discusses practical tips for pre-workout nutrition, highlighting the need for a balance of protein, carbs, and healthy sugars to fuel your sessions and support muscle growth. šŸ³šŸŒšŸ„›

Key takeaways include shifting the focus from calorie burning to muscle building for a stronger, healthier body and the metabolic benefits of having more muscle mass, especially for women navigating menopause. šŸšŗšŸ’–
