I (Suz) am flying solo this episode and I delve into an element related to training and performance that all women and men should know about!

If you are a female and have ever struggled around that time of month, if you are going through peri/menopause or are a curious male that wants to understand why your significant other seems to ride a wave of emotions and side effects each month then this episode is for YOU!

I believe in educating people as much as possible about all areas that can have an impact on training and results and to make things we all go through more open and honest to talk about.

Today we discuss the difference in training for someone that wants to build strength versus someone training for body building.

This episode is designed to help you decide what option might be best for you based on your own individual goals.

Happy Listening - Lee & Suz

In this episode we discuss a common theme for a lot of people around the March period & that is MOTIVATION.

We get it - the new year buzz has worn off and it is normal to feel a little unmotivated at this time of the year.

So today we cover what is motivation, what to do when you are lacking motivation and how to stay on track whether you have it or not.

If you have any questions or feedback regarding this please let us know.

In this episode we cover
