I speak a lot about the benefits I am currently seeing with my fitness journey when approaching life with a periodisation mindset.

In today's episode, I give you an update on where I am currently at with my photoshoot prep whilst in the middle of a slower phase of training and dieting due to spending some time with loved ones.

I'm finding this approach has not only allowed me to make better progress and be more focused with my training and nutrition, but also be more present with my friends and family when taking my foot off the gas.

If you resonate with anything I say and want to chat more, I'd love to hear from you!

Enjoy!

And just like that, the first month of 2025 comes to an end!

Time flies when you're having fun and working towards those new year goals.

Here's a common issue with new year goals - writing them down in December or January and then never revisiting them makes it very easy to gradually fall off track.

Whereas if you use the end of each month as an opportunity to reconnect with the goal and audit what went well and what didn't go well - it gives you chance to realign with your goals and plan ahead for the next month.

In this episode I will take you through the step by step process I am using to check in with myself after month one and why I am adjusting strategy with my photoshoot prep to make things a little more intense than planned in February.

Enjoy!

In recent years, running, CrossFit and Hyrox have grown in popularity.

Whilst weight training remains my number one recommendation for most people when first getting into exercise, I am seeing a growing number of people with an interest in optimising performance for events such as 5k or half marathons and Hyrox.

But when your goal is to also lose a significant amount of fat and go through a physique transformation, there are some important considerations to take into account when trying to push your performance at the same time.

In this episode, I explain some of the differences to consider.
