Many people who are unfamiliar to the gym experience gym anxiety. I touch on why this shouldn’t be the case. 

I then give my thoughts on why gruelling cardio is not the answer for fat loss.

Are you lacking motivation? Listen to why you need to be dedicated rather than motivated.

In this episode I start of by speaking about ‘getting back on track’ in terms of a healthier lifestyle. I mention the mistakes I’ve made personally as well as the mistakes I’ve made with clients.

The second subject I discuss is how to lift weights to look sexier. I go through the training styles I’d recommend to improve body composition.

I then talk about the labelling of different foods as good and bad.

There is also a few stories about my time as an alter boy serving mass and missing work because I had a few too many beers....separate stories however 🤣

I speak to performance nutritionist Dan Murphy in this week’s episode.

I ask for his opinion on topics including:

Low fat diets
If carbs make us fat
Fresh produce vs frozen produce
Snacking
And if sugar is more addictive than cocaine

A very informative and entertaining episode.

In this week’s episode I talk about people sabotaging  their diet. I suggest ways on overcoming this and then ask why we turn to food for comfort.

This then ties nicely into second half of the podcast where I explain why I feel the mental health awareness campaign for men at the moment is superficial. And I speak about how I’ve invested in my mental health.

In this episode I discuss the myth behind low carb diets. I then question if HIIT is the best way to burn body fat. And I finally I touch on how to reveal your abs but also why it’s not always the best goal to strive for. 

Mark is a personal trainer, gym supervisor and friend. 

We discussed the lies being sold by influencers in the fitness industry.

We then go on to talk about why being extra lean isn’t the healthiest state to be.

Finally Mark talks about his own lack motivation/ struggles over lockdown and ways of getting back on track.

In this episode I talk about  tracking calories to lose body fat and how to do it accurately. I also mention other ways of losing fat without tracking calories religiously. Finally I finish off discussing the supplements I take to support my health and fitness and why I take them.

In this episode I talk about my own poor relationship with alcohol in the past. I also suggest tips on how to stay in shape while still enjoying a few beverages. These include ways of avoiding binge eating and getting back to a routine as quick as possible.

I talk about cardio training and what you can do instead if you hate it.
