This week, we work through some common avatars that you might have identified with yourself at some point in life. Are you a Nervous Norman, trying to pluck up the courage to step foot in the gym for the first time, or an Emotional Ellie, who struggles to get a handle on their nutrition as soon as there's a trauma or stressful event in their lives?

We discuss who would be the best professional for these people to turn to. Do they need another 12 week fat loss plan, or would they be better seeing a physiotherapist or a councillor?

If you recognise yourself in any of the situations that we talk about in the podcast episode and want to reach out for some more support or ask us a question, please use the details below!

After the great feedback from the last few episodes, we get a bit more into training again, and how to manipulate the variables of your training to achieve your goal. We discuss why it doesn't have to be super complicated, and how simple things like exercise selection and order DO make a difference, but are very easy ways to switch things up if training starts to get stale.

Then we have a great discussion about some research that came out discussing Genetics.

Will an idiot with great genes always do better than a genius with the most optimal programme possible? How does that make you feel??

More reason for you to fall in love with the process hey!?

And to top it all off....Amy needs another wee...!

This week, we talk about whether postural differences and imbalances actually matter for the general population. Do our bodies dramatically adapt to the function that we train then for, or are we guilty of creating our own narrative about our 'dodgy knee', 'weak shoulder' or 'dominant quad'?

Q&As this week focus on the Whoop Band vs. Apple Watch and the disparity between them, as well as tips for Night Shift workers to help them stay on track.

And before we talk about our darling of the industry this week, Amy need's a mid-pod wee....

It happens!

Recording on a lazy Sunday morning, we chat about this article that credits the enviable figure of one Australian Personal Trainer to BCAA's, Whey Protein Shakes and Pre-Workout:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-10433249/Trainer-Camilla-Akerberg-reveals-THREE-nutrition-tos-shredding-fat.html

We then get a bit technical and talk about the movements that are credited to a 'complete' physique, what we would include, and if we would do anything differently. Are you doing these in your own training? Are there any you disagree with or would add in?

https://youtu.be/s0fA0gXqREQ

Then we turn our attention to 'Karens', and how we shouldn't listen to them for our training and nutrition information.....

*no offence intended to anyone out there called Karen.

We have plenty to discuss this week, starting with an interesting news article about Exercise Addiction and the importance of rest days. You'll find the link to the article below:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-60041344

Then we move on to a question for runners about how to factor in strength training; something Andy is thinking about right now as he begins his Amsterdam Marathon Prep.

Next on the Agenda, the FODMAP Diet. If you haven't heard or it or you've always wondered what it was, we give you a brief run down as well as advice if it's something you've thought about doing. 

Then we have a bit of a rant about Keto, as Andy gets more spam blowing up his inbox and we sit around waiting for that sponsorship deal. After this conversation, it probably won't be coming from the Keto Community....!

WE'RE BACK!

For those of you that have missed us, we're back with an update of what we've been up to the last few months. Andy's Marathon Training, Amy's brush with Covid, and how we plan to keep you all entertained as we move forward in 2022.

We have new goals, a new focus and a new plan for the podcast, and we really want to build our community!

Stay tuned in the coming months as we keep our eyes on the news, our ears to the ground in health and fitness, and our minds open to what's going on out there, as always sifting through the bullshit you make sure you're concentrating on what's important in getting you to reach your goals.

After Andy's Tropical Vacation, from which he returned with absolutely no tan whatsoever, we finally get to have a mammoth catch up!

Our catch up covers:

- Andy's Holiday

- Amy's insights into parenting

- Jack's continuing obsession with Hamilton

- Our Values and why we're choosing to take a break from the Podcast for a while.

Yes, that's right. We've taken the difficult decision to take a break from the #NAFP until 2022. It's been a long 18 months for us both, with the arrival of Maxwell in Andy's life, and my transition into the fitness industry from my career as a flight attendant. Now thing's have calmed down, we both want to put our efforts into other endeavours and the people we hold dear until we feel it's the right time to come back to our Podcast.

This is DEFINITELY NOT "Goodbye", more a "See you next year!".

We're still available to contact if you're interested in working with us or have some future podcast recommendations on the details below, and our Facebook Community will keep going and we'll still be active there for you all. Catch you in 2022 #NAFP listeners!

This week, Andy gives us an insight into his manifesto for pretty much everything you'd ever want to achieve in Health and Fitness. 

Want to bulk? Cut? Build Muscle? Get stronger? Leaner? Navigate through injury and how to actually enjoy the whole process? Here we have all the answers!

-----

The underlying theme is one of making things as easy as possible for you whatever you want to achieve, and sticking with it long enough to achieve some results.

Will achieving your goal ACTUALLY make you happy? How do you learn to fall in love with the process?

Here our musings about how to make peace with the process and start to enjoy taking your health and fitness seriously. It doesn't have to be something that you do for a short time, you can make it part of your life so you can stay alive for a long time!

This week we begin the podcast discussing why Amy and I are both terrible adults (sorry Sarah and Jack).

-----

In the meat of the pod we're talking about 'what to look for in a personal trainer' (a question I absolutely LOVE!):

This week, after a question posed in the Facebook Group, we discuss whether you should Cut or Bulk? If you're unsure of your starting point with fitness and training but you know you have weight to loss, are you better to look to build some lean muscle tissue or lose body fat? How do you weigh up your options, what time frame are you looking at and what do you need to consider?

-----

We also discuss some feedback and comments from people about our recent episode on Davina McCall and her exercise regime. Does her figure make you feel inspired or unmotivated?

It's a pretty lengthy one this week, and you can hear that we have plenty to say on this subject!
