How to train whilst the world’s on fire
When life is extremely busy, stressful or generally a bit of a bin fire, training doesn’t have to disappear completely. Here are a couple of genuinely useful sessions you can fit into 20 minutes.
Nutrition check-list for health and well-being
Healthy eating doesn’t need to involve a perfect meal plan or an endless list of rules. This simple daily and weekly checklist will help you cover all of the most important bases, whilst avoiding being needlessly miserable!
Strength training - where to start?
Stepping into the gym for the very first time can be pretty intimidating, even if you’ve played sports or been active before - I’ve been there! Here’s a simple 2 day per week plan to get you going, with exercise video demonstrations and explanations.
How many times per week should you strength train?
Do you need to train six days a week, meal-prep from matching containers and make the gym your entire personality? It’s an option, but no - you don’t. Here’s how much strength training you actually need, and roughly how to structure it.
Strength training is pretty damn safe
The internet can make it seem as though one slightly wonky squat will cause your spine to explode. In reality, strength training is pretty damn safe - and your body is far more robust and adaptable than you may have been led to believe.
Everyone’s an athlete
You don’t need to be competing in a sport to benefit from training like an athlete! More strength, fitness, power and coordination can help us all feel more capable - the starting point just looks a little different for everyone.
Why strength training is one of the best things you can do for your health
Strength training does far more than help you grow bigger biceps - although that’s great too. It supports your muscles, bones, joints and long-term independence, making it one of the best investments you can make in your future self.
The missing piece in most people’s training
Getting stronger builds the engine - but jumping, throwing and moving quickly teach you how to use it. A little power training can help you become a more coordinated, confident and capable human, without requiring you to train like an Olympic hopeful.
