Last month I went into detail about how important it is to eat after training. We looked at the types of foods to eat, how soon after training, and why I get all my clients to do this. We also looked a little bit into Intermittent Fasting and how important that even those of you who are IF, eat after training. If you’ve used this last month to assess your after-training fuel habits, and implement or level up new fueling strategies, Great!

Since that post I’ve had a lot of feedback and updates ab…

One of the most important things you can do for your body is to eat properly after a training session. When you exercise, no matter if it's aerobic training or strength you have used glycogen to fuel at least part of the session as well as body fat. Your body after training is primed and ready to make more stores of carbohydrates ( known as glycogen) form the foods you eat. Delaying eating after training will lead to less glycogen being made form the food you eat as well as a decrease in your en…

Having survived into May with our crazy ISO life, I hope you are all well and healthy and finding fun and creative things to do with your extra time at home.

Adapting our diets and lifestyles to the seasons used to be common practice. Alas no so much anymo…

There seems to be a misconception that Self Care is all about treating yourself to a day off or having a massage, which as a result means many individuals push it aside claiming they don’t have the time or can’t afford it.

Simple confusion. It does not have to take any extra time from your day that you valuably need nor does it need to cost you anything. It is purely looking after yourself both mentally and physically.

So what’s my first and easiest version? Ensuring your thoughts are those that…

Kira asked me to guest post for her this month on stress, family and mental health… Why? Because I have been there, got the T Shirt, worn it to death, taken it off, washed it and now it hangs firmly in my closet to remind me of the lessons learnt along its journey.

Everyone’s story is different, and everyone’s story is personal, but they all have common traits and outcomes and that is what I want to talk about.

There is no shame in suffering from anxiety or depression. It can stem from childhood…
