Importance of protein in your diet while weight training
Protein is an essential macronutrient that plays a crucial role in the human body. When it comes to weight training, it is even more important to consume enough protein in your diet. Here’s why:
How to stay motivated
People often ask me how I stay motivated to train and I get it. I have been training consistently for 20 years already after getting into high level sport at a young age.
The Power of Building Habits
In our life, we have automated behaviours that repeat themselves without us realising.
We are driven by reward and things that make us feel good.
For example, you brush your teeth in the morning, but the act itself doesn’t give you any pleasure. Instead, you’re motivated by the feeling of having a clean mouth afterward.
Health Benefits of Drinking Coffee
Coffee is the 3rd most popular beverage in the world, placing behind water and tea as number 1 and 2 respectively.
TRACKING FOOD – RAW vs COOKED
When you start out on your fitness journey, one of the first things you’ll should be looking at is your nutrition.
Habits
You train to make progress right?

This period has been full of challenges as an independent business and like many others we had to evolve as we moved through the lockdowns of 2020 and into 2021.
When it comes to gym progress don’t just think weight
There is more to progress than just increasing weight every week. Yes, more weight is potentially a good thing but not at all costs. If you are constantly trying to drive your weight up exclusively you will likely risk.

Simple dieting – Weight loss with less effort
The most common advice given out when trying to lose weight is to make extreme changes, eliminate whole categories of macronutrients and other drastic solutions.
Keeping an eye on calories at xmas
Christmas dinner itself isn’t a particularly calorie dense, it is after all mainly vegetables and lean meat. Poor portion control can mean you eat more than you need, but the amount you over eat by won’t generally be drastic.
Rest & Recovery
Resting your muscles the right amount can be just as important as training your muscles.
Are you training effectively?
You might think it is your nutrition holding you back, and you are probably right about this, but your training is probably not helping….

If you’re a person, you can probably relate to this in some way. The feeling of “how did this happen?” whilst staring at an empty packet of crisps, chocolate, sweets.
