The Christmas break is coming up, maybe you're going to be away from the gym for a short period, perhaps even going away (jealous!). Either way, we are here today to discuss how long it takes to lose muscle mass and strength, what we can do to prevent it and how a few mindset shifts can help during breaks from training.

Thanks for listening!

Welcome back to the podcast! Today we discuss 10 habits and practices that we think will help you lead a healthier, fuller and happier life. From mindset, nutrition, movement and sleep, this one leaves no topic untouched!

With Jaz and Evie from Team Uplift @upliftwandsworth
@jazlifts @evolvewithevie_

Today's episode was a requested topic from one our lovely members which massively resonated with me because I am someone, like a lot of people, who thrives in the warmer sunny weather.

The lack of day light can make us feel sluggish, tired and unmotivated which takes a toll on our mental wellbeing.

Luckily there are things we can do to make ourselves feel better!

@upliftwandsworth @jazlifts

Bonjour Uplift-ers! We've had a few discussions in the gym recently surrounding meal prep, so we decided to sit down and discuss a few tips and tricks to make your lives a little easier...

Today we chat about:

• Why bother?
• Ways to make it easy
• Simple & quick ideas we personally use

We hope you enjoy! As always, catch us on Instagram!

• Why bother walking anyway
• Our personal reflections
