Episode Outline ∙ Getting clear on the goal and different training styles that complement them ∙Training for body composition–what I do in BKF online program: hypertrophy, Circuits, HIIT or finishers ∙ Push, pull, legs vs full body vs upper lower training splits. The pros and cons of each ∙ NEAT and why you don't need exercise to lose weight ∙ HIIT or LISS cardio pros and cons ∙ The benefits of a gym and getting over gym anxiety (what to do, what I advise and what I do in programs) ∙ Experimenting with various training styles to see what you enjoy the most ∙ How to design your own training programs–exercise choice, reps, sets, rest, tempo ∙ Following an influencer program vs creating your own vs working with a coach Key Points ∙When it comes to your training, very similar to nutrition, you can't hit a target you can't see; so get clear on the goal from the front-end, and then you can apply the different training styles on the back-end.

The amount and type of cardio, weight training, and other routines you need to incorporate depend upon having the correct foundation and knowing how to build upon it. ∙There is no "best" training or nutrition program out there. The right workout and diet plan for you depend entirely on your preferences, lifestyle, and specific goals. It begins with getting clear on the nutritional plan that is sustainable for you. From there, you create a training regimen around it that accomplishes the fitness goal you're after while being conducive to the type of exercises that your body responds best to, your schedule, and other lifestyle considerations. ∙Perhaps just as important as finding the right style of training that works for you, is sticking with training that you enjoy.
