This week I have 5 tips for helping you get back to the gym in the most pain free, time friendly way possible. 

Whether your gym has opened already, or, if like us here in Scotland, you're still waiting, these 5 tips can help make the transition back to training more smooth. 

This week I've been chatting to clients in their coaching calls, and the overriding theme has been planning and consistency. 

As the lockdown restrictions ease more and we have ever more pulls on our time, it's more and more important to have a plan that allows us to make the time for our health and fitness. Setting out a good plan is a key part of your health and fitness journey, allowing you to focus on what matters. 

Then being consistent with all the basics is what will actually get you the results you want. I go over the levels of nutrition, performance and recovery that you need to cover in order to be successful in whatever your goals are. 

Enjoy the episode,

Is there a secret fat loss tactic we're not telling you? No. Sorry, there is no secret method that PTs are holding onto until you give us money! 

This weeks episode I look at the 6 factors that affect fat loss, and how you can zero in on what works best for you. 

Consistency, calorie balance, protein intake, carbs and fats, meal timings and supplements. What matters? What doesn't? 

Check it all in the episode. 

What if, instead of constantly trying to make yourself less in the pursuit of improved body composition aka fat loss, you aimed to give yourself, and become, more? More food whilst maintaining a calorie deficit. More strength and resilience instead of sweating calories off? More sleep and recovery time to make everything that bit easier.

It's time to get out of the idea that you have to make yourself less.

What have I changed my mind on in the last 5 years?

How has my training changed as I've gotten older, and how do I see it changing going forward?

What are my thought on the use of straps, belts etc in training?
