Getting back into shape over 40?

Understanding processed foods is crucial! We discuss the different types of processed foods, their impact on your health and fitness journey, and how to navigate food labels. Learn how to balance convenience with nutrition and make smart swaps for a healthier you.

One thing you can expect is to go through some pain when starting out on your fitness journey. We joke about it often in the gym, at work or even on this podcast.

But there are times when pain is not a joke. When it is a serious matter that could hinder your progress in the gym.

In this episode we cover how to differentiate between expected and unexpected pain and how to manage it thereafter.

Do you consider walking an exercise or a mode of transport? Depending on your current fitness level or fitness goals, you might be missing out on a great tool to help you level up in your journey.

Let's be honest, after 40 our energy levels are not quite where they once were (for most of us) in our twenties and going all out in a cardio workout can take a toll on us often leading to us dropping out or at the very least being very inconsistent with training. Walking helps us overcome that and also has a bunch of other health benefits too!

Join us as we chat through this today and see if we can convince you!

Decided to get back into fitness? We commend you on the decision. Now the question is how often should you be exercising?

Today we discuss just that and more to help you not only get started but get started in a way that will likely give you more chance that you will stick to it.

This is a question that is often asked, "What is more effective to build muscle mass - lifting heavier weights for low reps or lifting lighter weights for more reps?"

Honestly it is a good question.

Join us as we discuss this in great detail today to hopefully provide you with some clarity on this question.

Lets be honest, not everyone loves the gym. Even Mike is not the biggest fan though he encourages everyone to go. But is it the only way to build muscle mass?

Join us in this episode as we discuss through this very question. The answer might just surprise some of you.

Is a calorie from a steak the same as a calorie from ice cream? Well, if you do not know the answer to that question then today' episode is just for you.

Join us as we discuss what calories are and answer the age old question if calories are all equal.

We know protein is important, but where do we get it from? Is one source better than the other?

Today we are going to look at eggs as a source of protein. How does this stack up in the protein sources and should you be adding more of it to your diet?

We all focus on Exercise and Nutrition when putting together our fitness plans for the year but we seem to overlook one vital component and that is Rest and Recovery.

Putting this as a priority will ensure that you can maximize the time you have to exercise and see the results you want to see.

Join us as we discuss through the topic today so that you too can start seeing the results.
