"Start now, optimise later" is a quote from James Clear's book Atomic Habits.

In this episode I discuss the idea that something that works for you might not work for someone else, and vice versa.

Which is why it's important to not have a "one size fits all" mentality to fitness and to instead take a flexible approach.

No recorded a podcast in ages so thought I'd do one just to get back into the swing of things, looking forward to doing them more regularly again

Lifting weights will help maintain strong bones and muscles, which is important as your body will start to lose muscle mass in your mid 30s and bone density in 40s-50s.

If you are already 35+ it's not too late, you can start lifting weights now and will still feel the benefits of it.

If you are below 35 you can start lifting weights now so you can to take care of your future body.

I recently ran a half marathon which was my first half in over 3 years.

In this episode I discuss my running journey over the past year, why it's important to focus on your own progress without comparing yourself to others too much, and how you shouldn't wait until you're ready to get started because you'll never ever be ready.

Meal prepping, finding recipes, making recipes and all things dieting can be very confusing.

In this episode I try to give some common sense advice around meal prepping.

Keep in mind that you don't have to meal prep at all if you don't want to.

If you are wanting to meal prep, keep it as simple as possible and don't over complicate it.

Don't make this common fat loss mistake.

Take the WHOLE weekend off!

Here's the thing, one meal won't make or break your diet at the weekend.

But...

If you:

- Eat & Drink whatever you want Friday-Sunday.

- Don't exercise.

- Do very little movement (steps).

Then that probably WILL have an impact on your progress.

By all means live your life and enjoy yourself, but keep in mind that if you're working towards a fat loss goal what you do at the weekend also counts.
