Regardless of yes or no to wanting to be vegan, this episode will provide plenty of nutritional takeaways. This episode is not an assault/ exploration of your own morality/ ethical viewpoints but simply a guide of actionable steps to take if you were to decide to dip your toe into the world of veganism/ plant based. Bill has been a vegan for 3+ years and Tom is NOT a vegan. No echo chambers here guys so a balanced discussion. 

We use our knowledge of behaviour change and own experiences to guide you through the most appropriate way of becoming a vegan if that is your wish. Spoiler alert: it will probably take a while if you want it to last and not have an health issues along the way! 

We also discuss panic buying carrots, smoking aubergines (eggplant) and eating animals that have committed crimes. So don't worry plenty of chaos to keep you entertained if you have no wish of becoming vegan.

Andy Wiltshire takes us on his journey across a continent (North Norway to Gibraltar). It's a journey full of memories - some better than others! 'The Fjords were beautiful' 'So, the police came and closed this tunnel...Because of us' 

Andy was joined by his friend Robbie, both university students at the time so budget was tight but they made do and spent £2000 all in on the trip. They weren't always together though as at one stage Andy had to pop back to the UK meaning meeting Robbie back in Europe. 'I realised I don't do well being alone' 

If you enjoyed hearing Andy's story you might enjoy hearing his brand new podcast 'Things We Find Interesting' The title gives it away - Andy is joined by guests to discuss anything and everything they find interesting. You can also find the podcast where Andy spoke with Robbie the other half of this trip!

This week we are joined by Michael 'Mikey' Page a exercise rehabilitation instructor in the British Army. We talk all things rehab unpacking dos and don't's, active vs passive recovery and everything in between.

We also discuss what Tom was like as an army reserve recruit as Mikey was actually Tom's PTI during basic training. Sounds like Tom was chaotic as ever!

Shannon Cruikshank is currently serving with the Royal Engineers in the British Army but is being used a Physical Training Instructor (PTI) at a Royal Engineers training establishment (essentially delivering PT to recruits) She's wanted to be a PTI for a long time but as we explore her journey it's clear it wasn't an easy ride. A battle with mental health and alcohol, a change of cap badge and a constant battle to operate in a male dominated environment, Shannon finally got her 'crossed swords' and qualified as an Army PTI. 

We of course start with establishing her top 3 gym peeves ranking them using our coveted super exclusive ranking scale. We then finish with secret questions...This was pretty wild as in Bills wisdom he asked you lot on Instagram 'without any context what would you ask this week's guest'. Great fun.

This week we hope to give you the knowledge you need to lose weight/fat and more importantly keep it off!! The episode Is split into 3 parts, the first exploring the difference between weight and fat, why some of you struggle to lose fat more than others and what these barriers mean. We also explain why it's important to self reflect on these barriers 'you cannot change what you are not aware of'

We then get more practical with it offering numerous way to can take action to sky rocket your fat loss journey. We time and time again reinforce the point that everything with your weight loss should be done gradually though. Don't walk away from this phase and try to implement everything at once! One at a time a week at a time. Smash that task that week? Great add another! Didn't quite nail it? No problem go again and make sure you reinforce each task/ each new habit etc. 

We finish by discussing the results of our Instagram poll where we asked the questions

This week we are joined by 'TikTok Wizard' Spencer Cave. This TIkTok 'fitfluencer' is our youngest ever guest at 19 years old & he's been on quite the transformation journey. Growing up he was deeply unhappy with his appearance/size. He was bullied and this in turn effected his mental health. He decided to take action and unfortunately in his desperation to see change he made some decisions that were less than ideal. He now shares his story and training on TikTok hoping to inspire others in his peer group and beyond to start their own health and fitness journey. 

The episode also turns into a bit of an exclusive Q&A for Spencer as throughout he throws the odd gym related question at us! Does weight training stunt growth? Do you need to change gym routine every 6-8 weeks? Is my pre-workout good? Reference pre-workout - this goes on for far too long as Bill decides to analyse every detail of Spencers pre-workout!

We really enjoyed this one and it was interesting to speak to someone of a different generation and see how they approach things and why. If you want to check out Spencers fitness journey, check out his TikTok!

In this extended finale we explore whether or not the ENTIRE Fitness Industry is bad for you. Spoiler alert - the fitness industry is a flipping mess! We asked you guys what you hate most about the fitness industry and then proceeded to rant about them for 90 minutes! (Mainly Tom lol.) A good mixture of funny and serious ones so should be a great listen! 

While we do insert humour throughout the reality is is that the fitness industry is in a right state at the moment and there needs to be some action taken to put it back on track. We are dealing with peoples health at the end of the day and this should not be partaken lightly. For starters the complete lack of regulation and appallingly dated education that PTs receive. Other things we discuss are, getting 'photoshoot ready', 'detailed meal plans', 'social media pressure' and many more. We give our constructive thoughts on them all and wow...The more we go on the worse we realise things are!

Thanks for tuning in for this series. As always though, if you have any more ideas for this series no reason we can't revisit it if the idea is good enough! So send them in!
