In this episode, I answer one of my client’s question regarding training and soreness. She asked, “Should I be sore from my training? How do I know I’m making progress if I’m not sore?” This was a great question that opened up the conversation around whether or not soreness is the goal and how our CNS (central nervous system) plays a role in our performance and recovery. I also introduce the principle of progressive overload and why this is what we should be focusing on when it comes to our training.

In this episode, I answer some questions regarding my favourite exercises for overall health and I share my philosophy and outlook on nutrition and movement variability and how that affects our performance inside and outside of the gym. I also share what I learned as a coach by having my clients push heavy ass sleds back and forth last week. Lastly, I talk about the importance of mastering the basics when you’re a beginner in the gym and how that will help you build a strong foundation so that you can continue to make progress for years to come.

In this episode, I share how I recover from my training through proper programming, sleep and nutrition. I dive into the importance of sleep and how it affects my performance in the gym but more importantly - outside of the gym. I also talk about what I’m currently doing for my training and how I am managing my recovery throughout the week. These days, I am very aware of my energy levels and how my training, nutrition and sleep affects those energy levels. This is a very important topic because our ability to recover not only affects our performance in the gym - but our performance in LIFE.
