  • The Basics of How to START Training & Eating

    We are BACK. The gang decided to take a new years break to allow for us to keep on rolling, and we're so excited to be back!

     

    On this episode, we talked about all of the simple, and not simple, questions of... How do I START!? Start training, start balancing eating, and how that changes as I train more??

     

    We unpack very common questions like how do you know how many meals and snacks to eat throughout the day? How do I know where to start exercising? What are the minimum things that I could/should be doing?

     

    It's also important to think about how these things may change depending on when you're training. How does my nutrition change if I'm mashing weights at 6am? Doing longer cardio around noon? Or hitting high-intensity work in the evening? This is where the nuggets of the episode may help to answer those questions!

     

    Give it a listen and DM us your thoughts and words of the year @healthunfilteredpod on Instagram.

  • New Years Goal Setting w/o the BS

    We’re ringing in the New Year at Health Unfiltered and that means talking about new years resolutions and how to set yourself up for success (for real) this year!

     

    Goal setting, dreaming and scheming for 2023 can look different for everyone. The gang breaks down how we roll when it comes to goal setting for the year. We share our words of there and intentions behind them too. 

     

    Working with clients, things can look a little different. We compare notes on how this process works for our 1:1 clients, how our methods have or haven’t changes, and advice for someone setting up there new year. 

     

    Probably some of the best nuggets of wisdom come from sharing how to tackle these big dreams you’ve made for 2023. Once you’ve committed then what? How does motivation VS discipline play a role? 

     

    Give it a listen and DM us your thoughts and words of the year @healthunfilteredpod on Instagram.
