One more for the road!

We REALLY wrap up our first season of 2022 by answering MORE of your questions!

1. When starting out for cardio and also weights would you guys have a pre-workout drink beforehand?

2. Medical help with weight loss like duromine? What are your thoughts about it?

3. I want to add a 3rd day in, but with all my other activities, I'm having trouble finding a spot for it.

I'm concerned adding a 3rd lifting day wouldn't leave any "rest" days, really and I don't want to end up hurting myself. I also don't want to give up any of my sports related activities (playing is my happy place).

Should I not worry so much about adding a 3rd lifting day in? My reason for wanting a 3rd day is to get more practice in and see some better gains in the strength department.

Is this just going to be one of those "you have to make a decision" scenario or is there a clear path you would recommend?

4. What are your thoughts on intermittent fasting?

5. Is there the possibility of y'all selling a cookbook?

6. What would you recommend for increasing weight when there isn't the option to increase by one or two pounds at a time?

7. I work in a busy maternity unit and work shifts.

I do night shifts once or twice a fortnight. Night shifts are a real valley for me I usually only get a hour or so sleep before hand and after for that day.

I also tend to snack on the food people bring in over the night which is usually potato chips, pizza and cake and the next day my zombie day I crave fatty carby foods.

I try to resist but I'm usual exhausted and have no time on the shift so pick at things on the go.

Any advice you could give to help me better manage this would be greatly appreciated.

8. I tried Creatine and it really made me retain water. Did you have that problem? What am I doing wrong?

9. Loose skin on clients that have lost weight...if they have lost a lot of weight or they are older clients that have lost weight. Not seeing the results besides the loose skin even tho they are putting in the hard work day in day out. They know they have muscle under it, but can’t visually see it. What do you advise them to do?

10. I have been lifting weights for 6 months or so and made huge gains early on mostly due to gaining confidence in what I am doing and better technique. My question is, what’s a realistic reasonable increase to expect? I’m looking at this from the perspective of goal setting for the next 6 months so my goals won’t be unrealistic or on the other hand not challenging enough.

11. What are your thoughts on plant-based nutrition/eating?

12. What do you guys think about pre-workouts but also weight loss medications and intermittent fasting?

13. Matt talks about Courtney’s roasted pumpkin a lot, so Courtney- what exactly do you put in it and how long/temp do you roast it? And dumb question, are pumpkins available year-round in grocery stores?

14. How much thought do you put into meal prep? What I mean is: are you really not taking macros into consideration? Are you thinking calorie intake?

15. I have been seeing people with high protein intake (from food not powders) even people doing keto diets who seem to get better results over time- better muscle definition, less body fat. What are your thoughts on that?

It's that time of the season again!

We wrap up our first season of 2022 by answering your questions...

1. What are your thoughts on meal delivery services like Hello Fresh (meals only) or Hungryroot (meals plus groceries)?

2. I work evening shifts with call and sometimes I only get a few hours of sleep a night. Would it better to skip a workout the next day or do a workout even if I can’t give it my all being so tired?

3. I’d like some information about weight loss during and leading up to menopause. I’ve read that leading up to and during menopause, the body hold onto fat cells, as they contain oestrogen. Is that correct and are there are any tips for weight loss during this time?

4. You’ve mentioned it’s beneficial to have a break between training programs. Does this just relate to weight training or does It include cardio?

5. Sometimes I feel nauseated during weight training sessions. What is the best way to avoid this? Is it a question of not enough food (or the right kind of food)? Not enough water? I try to make sure on top of those things, but sometimes I still feel sick.

6. You talk about not weighing yourself, that it doesn’t matter if your making real change you will see it. I agree but why bot get on the scales 2-3 times per week to measure progress. Can you expand on this?

7. What are your thoughts on incorporating a fat burner and creatine into a daily routine? I have recently started adding weight training into my routine and both of these were recommended to me. Do you think adding supplements like these make a difference?

8. How do you overcome temptations for snacking between meals?

9. I know I need to to change one thing at a time and I started with cutting down how much I eat fast food. I made a plan to limit the amount each month. How do I know when I am ready to move on to another goal? My all or nothing mentality wants to speed things up but I’m trying to break the cycle!

10. What is something I can focus on in terms of my next nutritional goal? For example increased vegetables or making sure all meals are a balanced meal? I’m not sure how to measure progress.

We have spoken so much since starting our show about the importance of small wins; recognising, acknowledging and appreciating them.

We've also spoken at length about how the small wins are what add up to the big goals we set for ourselves.

So in this episode we acknowledge some of the small wins we've each had individually over the years and how they've helped us.

What small wins have you had since you started?

We talk a lot about playing the long game, how this is about the journey rather than the destination.

Yet building a long-term mindset is much easier said than done, and it starts with recognising the signs of a short-term mindset and working to shift that way of thinking to something more long-lasting, sustainable and healthy.

In this episode of the show we give you our top 10 signs that you have a short-term mindset. The most common signs we see in our line of work and have gone through ourselves along the way...and what can be done to turn them around.

"I'm bored, I need to mix up my training program"

"This person I follow on Insta changes their workouts each week, maybe I should too?"

"The workouts just aren't fun anymore, can I please do something different?"

Sound familar?

In this episode of the show we share with you the boring (but necessary) truth about what's really involved in successful training programs.

We use our own training history as examples, and explain why the most successful training programs out there are also usually the most boring!

No one is harder on us than ourselves. To the point where we inflict upon ourselves the sort of treatment and negative self-talk that we'd never use on other people.

Why are we so often OK with being absolute dicks to ourselves?

In this episode of the show we give the most common examples of how we mistreat ourselves through our weight-loss journey.
