The beard is back! 

Recurring (and undeniably burly) guest James Flood joins me to discuss the five most important things you can do outside the gym in order to optimize your performance once you re-enter.  

In brief, he advises you to focus on: 
1. Hydration (with electrolytes)
2. Nutrition
3. Sun exposure
4. Cold exposure
5. Sleep

Or if, like me, you prefer alliteration: 
1. Salt
2. Sustenance
3. Sun
4. Shiver
5. Sleep 

Focus, my friends, on these five simple things not only to improve your performance in the gym, but to enhance your overall state of health and wellbeing. 

With the arrival of Summer, there’s never been a better time to start! 

Comment below with aspects from your own routine, from which we can all learn. 

James and I are always eager to implement new and interesting techniques with which you've had success!
