Fit As

This week, Chris tackles the numbers and what they mean when you start to create a diet. He asks some pertinent questions of Neale to shape a diet to trim some pounds and power him while he's training.

From some meet ups with clients of late, Chris has formed an idea; dealing with the highs and lows of your financial life can be akin to the way you deal with your fitness. Confused, listen on, it'll all make sense.

This week Chris suggests that if you're training simply for the weight loss, then it's simply part of the journey, but most probably not the actual goal. There's also some closure on the subject last week where we talked about training for your goals, and not that of your partners. Your questions are answered too each week if you email in. This week's guest question is all about how to tackle leg day training with bad knees.

So here's a particularly spiky subject for co-host Chris Griffiths. What happens when you're happy with the plan and financial agreement you've put in place for a superb programme to achieve your fitness goals and your partner slams the brakes on the idea? That's what today's show is all about.

A special edition featuring fitness coach Phil Agostino, invited on to the show to talk about the disease Colitis. Determined not to let the disease prevent any of his health and fitness goals, Phil talks very candidly about his journey battling and defeating the debilitating symptoms of Colitis and how it has affected his training business. Featuring explicit and candid discussion.

This week, Chris reveals something about himself that you may or may not be surprised to learn; he is obsessively observant about his body. In context we're talking about the body M.O.T.s that he is prepared to regularly attend and what his blood work says to him. But is he obsessive? Perhaps not, as today's show discusses.

It's a week about goal setting, although goal setting with lasting intention. Who ultimately wins the hare and tortoise story when it comes to fitness?

Last time we asked how you can have your cake and eat it, then eat some more, even if you're on a diet plan! Today we delve a little more into that subject, as we ask; do you get hangry? And if you do, we may just have some suggestions. As always on Fit As, we welcome your questions too and at the end of each cast, there's always a listener question to deal with.

You have to be joking right? You're allowed to eat cake on an exercise or gym diet plan? And beer? And a cheeky Chinese takeaway? Well how much? When? And all at the same time? Possibly? There are a lot of questions answered about this in episode 12 of Fit As. Of course there's a weekly question from you too. All part of the protein served up in this week's edition of Fit As.

It's difficult to attach a value to something so intrinsic to your health and well being. How much should personal training cost? Is it too expensive? Is the quality of training good enough for you? BIG subject this week and as you can imagine, our PT expert Chris Griffiths has something to say about it.
