Why having a WHY for training is important!

You won't feel motivated every day, but having a clear reason for exercising, strength training, playing sport or just getting out for a run, will help keep you disciplined.

- Why it's important to have a "why" (physical and mental)

- How having a why can help keep you injury free

- Healthy aging #sportyat40

Wait! Hear me out...

I'm not saying don't go to your favourite fitness class, especially if you enjoy them BUT if your goals are sports performance based, you want to get fitter, faster, more powerful, and reduce the risk of injury, you need to focus on this in your training.

Generic commercial fitness classes just aren't the most efficient way to train.

In this episode I talk through why these classes might not be the best for you and what's the best thing to do for your sports performance goals.

Lets address these popular fitness industry claims...

"Cardio makes me slow and weak"

"Carbs are bad for athletes"

"Weight lifting makes you slow, bulky and stiff"

"Agility ladders make you agile"

"Ice baths are the best recovery method"

"Foam rolling gets rid of muscle knots"

Nutrition advice for before and after strength training.

This week I'm answering a client struggle around nutrition, how to fuel sport games/matches, and what's best for recovery. I talk about:

- Avoiding sugary foods and drinks, limit processed foods due to their low fibre, low protein and low micronutrients.

- Focusing on good lean protein sources and carbs such as whole grains, fruits and vegetables.

- Pre and post training nutrition advice.

- Intra-nutrition for competition days.
