Another questions that gets asked quite a lot in the gym. Are high reps or low reps better. We go through what the different rep ranges do, why you would use them,  what you would use them for and how to put them in your exercise program.

This episode we talk strength training. We cover some basics of training and getting stronger, why we don't always need to get down to those low rep ranges to gain strength, and if it is necessary to do 1 rep max tests for anyone who isn't a non strength athlete. Another point we make includes how we measure strength as well as the most common way of just increasing the weight.

This week we are joined by Becky Patel. Becky is a personal trainer and yoga instructor, who adopts the approach of a non diet PT. Rather focusing on helping empower people to enjoy all aspect of life as well as exercise and nutrition. We talk training, emotional and disordered eating, body image and more. This is a really great episode and will 100% benefit everyone.

Over the last few weeks we have talked about nutrition and fat loss. But not eating habits. The habits we all create day to day play a big role in how well we can adhere to a plan and ultimately achieve the goal that we set out to achieve. Habits are things we end up doing without much thought. With that in mind it is easy for a bad habit to halt your progress, while creating good habits to can be a game changer towards the goals you want.

Sticking with nutrition, this week we wanted to go through the subject of carbohydrates and fats and why in some circles they got labelled as bad. We give you all some info about what they do in the body, why we need them and more. If you are interested in hearing more on nutrition check out our previous episodes.
