June 17, 2023Episode 189: Life sprints and shortening the long way home
**Show notes **
Over the next 15 days, I'm recording 12 podcasts to get to EP 200 for The Warrior Schools' fourth birthday.
In today’s episode, I talk about challenges and 'sprints'. I think challenges get a bad rap. Most people don't like them. Let's thank the fitness industry's 6-or 12-week weight loss challenges for that. I think we’ve been scarred.
But what if we got it wrong?
What if ...
Sprints actually help us break through old stories and beliefs.
Help us throw out ‘how it should be', and push us to create our own rules.
Make us realize that we can't always wait until we "feel like it" to take action.
Helps us shorten the long way home? Or what if the long way home is full of shorter sprints?
Help us build more capacity.
Give us an opportunity to "try something new on"...
I talk about the importance of doing sprints in your life, training and business and how they can help you start, create momentum, focus and confidence.
What you will discover
What are challenges and sprints
The importance of sprints
How sprints can help you create momentum, focus and confidence
The importance of energy and enthusiasm during sprints
Why pushing hard for short amounts of time can help us progress faster
Shortening the long way home

June 16, 2023Episode 188: The power of ‘Trying it on’
**Show notes **
Are you afraid to try something new because it might not work out, you might fail at it, look silly, or be judged?
In today’s episode, I talk about the importance of embracing a ‘try it on’ attitude when it comes to your training (and life).
The only way we are going to know if something ‘fits’ for us, is by trying it on - to see how it feels, to see if we like it, to see what happens…
So, go! Try something new on this week!
What you will discover
The importance of embracing a ‘try it on’ approach
The key to doing ‘try it on’ work - when and how to do it
Why you need to figure out what works for your body.
Things I’ve tried on before
How we use the ‘try it on’ approach in Warrior School
How to tell when to ‘take something off’

June 07, 2023Episode 186: How to approach your training (exercise prescription for strength, plyometrics and HIIT)
**Show notes **
One of the hardest parts of training is knowing what to do. But what’s even harder than that is knowing how to approach it - when to fit it all in, how to do it in a way that works with your body and life. Right?!
In today’s episode, I talk about how to approach your training. A lot of women I work with are Mamas, have big jobs/careers, busy lives, families etcetera. So, energy and time are hot commodities. Women now know that they need to strength train to support their hormones, bones and metabolic health. Now, they are also being told to jump, sprint and do zone 2 work.
But the big question is… How do I fit it all in? In today’s EP I give you a clear exercise prescription to follow to help you ‘fit it all in’… And not just in a throw it together kinda way, in an intelligent way that works with your body and lifestyle.
WHAT YOU WILL DISCOVER
Why women need to do aerobic work, strength training, plyometrics and HIIT
How to know where to start
How to prioritise your training
How much do we need to train to get results
How do you fit everything into a week? And What does it look like
Examples of how I program strength training, plyometrics and HIIT work

One of the hardest things when it comes to training is knowing what to do. BUT. What's even harder is knowing how to approach it. How to fit it all in.

Now there are some new kids on the block - plyometrics and HIIT - that are shown to be beneficial for fat loss, metabolic health and speed and power in women.
I talk about what TRUE HIIT training is and its benefits on body composition and metabolic health. I also share how to include it in your training.

**Show notes **
In your thirties, you may have trained hard and responded well, achieving your goals, and feeling good in your body, but by your forties, you notice things are harder.
Then you reach a point in your later forties when it feels like your training and nutrition just aren’t workin’ for ya anymore.
The biggest concern of women in their forties is that their body composition starts changing.
They start storing fat in their abdomen. And they lose muscle (so they feel weaker)
In today’s episode, I talk about what’s driving this change and how we can reduce abdominal adiposity. I also talk about how to train in your 40s, 50s and beyond.
WHAT YOU WILL DISCOVER
Why do women have an increase in abdominal fat in the 3-4 years before menopause
What’s driving the change
Insulins’ role in abdominal adiposity
How to train in your 40s, 50s and beyond
How strength training improves muscle mass, metabolic flexibility and body composition.
Why you need to polarise your training
Training at the top and low ends and their role in body composition
The importance of eating enough and enough protein
Where to start if you’re in your 40s, 50s or beyond
