I'll be the first to admit I've used my nutrition and training in a negative way. I've abused my body through overtraining. I've controlled my food to numb and make me feel like I have SOME control when my life felt out of control. I've also gone the other way where I've used overeating as a coping mechanism through uncomfortable situations. 

Resonate? Today we talk about how you might be using your health and fitness goals in a way that could be negatively impacting your overall wellbeing. Remember, we are here to promote our training and nutrition in a way that complements our life, not complicates.

It is inevitable that we will have periods of high stress in our lives. But what about when the stress is staying around for a while? Do we let it impact our fitness results? OR do we find tools to help manage it?

It's the latter, of course... 

In this episode we talk about WHY you should care about stress when it comes to achieving your health goals, and how we can implement day to day techniques to keep on top of stress.

It's certainly motivating and can be helpful to set a time scale on your goal. It means it creates urgency and gets you moving. However, where you see yourself at the end of that time period can seriously determine both your journey there and more importantly, whether you MAINTAIN the result. 

Are the 12 week shreds we see on Instagram real? What is actually a realistic goal to set when we are looking to tone up? How do we find the balance between creating a motivating target but not being unrealistic?

A fair few of my team are dieting in the lead up to summer. And 9/10, we all know what we need to do in order to lose bodyweight. 

But unfortunately, human beings aren't as black and white as calorie deficit. The internal narratives we tell ourselves can have a HUGE impact on our adherence and therefore our overall chances of being successful with fat loss. 

Do any of these points apply to you? Let me know on Instagram:

Light weight and lots of reps? Or heavy weight and low reps? Will the latter just make me bulky?

We have a wee chat today about what weight is best suited when you have a goal of becoming more "toned" or "athletic-looking". And then delve a little more into the other considerations when you have this aesthetic goal.
