This week we get together and let the chat flow. We get into the question of if fat loss is as simple as eating a little more protein, walking a bit more, getting a little more sleep etc then why is it so hard to do? We also chat over the cost of taking action vs the cost of not taking action? how your goals might evolve over time and the value of small habits and the compound effect.  Enjoy the episode!

What a cracker of an episode we have for you this week! Bodybuilder Max Johnson, aka 1repmaxx, joined us to chat about training, nutrition and mindset. There are a ton of golden nuggets in this episode, and while you may not be a body builder in the classical sense of the term, Max's knowledge and insights can apply to your fitness and body composition goals.  Thoughtful, insightful answers from one of the smartest, hardest working and genuinely nicest people in fitness.  Enjoy the episode. 

Sometimes we get caught up in the details, when many of us just need to get a little better to see results.

How we choose to think about our progress and the results we get can go a long way to making our efforts successful or not. In todays episdoe we cover 2 important mindset flips that can transform how you think about your goals and the progress you make.  Enjoy the episode Dave

There is so much outdated and, frankly, wrong fitness and nutrition information out in the world that we could do one of these episodes every week from now until the end of time and not make a dent in it. But we decided to take on a few of the more common myths that we see often and break them down to give you the real deal.  Enjoy the episode Dave

What a cracker of an episode we have for you this week!

This week Calumn and I chat about the difference in the perception and reality of what fitness is. From over edited pictures, and examples of the outliers in fitness and health, we get a very skewed picture of what we expect our results to look like and that can be a major roadblock for many people, since results like those most often seen take a long time and only the most hardcore folks will ever come close to achieving them.  We chat about how our client expectations change over the time they work with us and I go on a bit of a rant about those folks who push unrealistic results from cookie cutter training and diet advice.  Enjoy the episode. Dave

This week I'm back on my own as Calumn has a slight issue with his internet connection. So I took the chance to chat a bit about a couple of topics that came up over the past week.  The first is the question of how to integrate both cardio and strength work into your training schedule, how the interference effect works and how you might go about combining the 2 depending on your goal. The second is an overview of a recent study looking at the effects of sleep on calorie intake as well as a brief overview of how I talk to clients about how to structure your sleep schedule to try to maximise your sleep.  Enjoy the episode! Dave

In this weeks episode we chat to the legend that is Andy Watson, The Golf Fitness Coach about training for golf, as well as it's parallels with general population training. How he looks at clients and helps them get to where they want to be. So whether you are a golfer or not, there is a ton of great info in here.  You can find out more about Andy here: www.thegolffitnesscoach.com/ https://www.instagram.com/thegolffitnesscoach/ Enjoy the episode.

All becomes clearer during the episode.  This week we answer a couple of client and listener questions about training intensity and about not overthinking your options.  We often think that if we aren't broken by the end of our training sessions, then we're not making progress. But in this episode we chat over why that isn't strictly true, and how the answer is a lot more nuanced than that.  We also chat about how overthinking gets in the way of progress during our answer to "What are other options other than water for drinking?" While the answer is obvious, overthinking gets in the way and holds us back from making a decision. We go over how to get past that roadblock and dstart to make more progress.  Enjoy the episode!
