Episode #123 - Biscoff, Bullsh*t and Fitness Fads

Everyone in the fitness industry is jumping on some pretty bad trends at the moment and it's causing people a lot of harm. Especially when it comes to gut health. I don't know why but for some reason they love to follow these trending fads because they're popular but they have no consideration for the negative outcomes. Like your gut health, people don't realise how the "fit foods" that they choose are causing gut issues but instead they look at gluten or dairy being the main culprits ...

Episode #122 - Hydration For Athletes

Hydration for athletes is such an important topic and even though it's covered, I don't think people realise how important it is. If your goal is to perform at your best then you need to know how much you need to drink to be hydrated. The reason for this is when dehydration increases, there is a gradual reduction in physical and mental performance. There is an increase in heart rate and body temperature, and an increased perception of how hard the exercise feels, especially when exercisi...

Episode #121 - Dear Females

It is a very big issue at the moment with these fitfluencers and the things they push on a daily basis. As a male who coaches predominately females I want to help change the narrative when it comes to the dieting culture.

So I want to ruffle some feathers today with some tips that you should be following.

Episode #120 - Losing weight properly for weight class sports

Last week I talked about weight class sports and how they play a part in an athletes life. If you are someone who's in a weight class sport and you're considering dropping one or a few weight classes then you have to be smart about your choices. One of the things you don't want to do is to remove carbohydrates completely because you're going to negatively impact your performance. To avoid making these mistakes by listen to today's podcast.

Episode #118 - Weight Class Sports

Weight class sports are an interesting kettle of fish. The allow us to compete against people who weigh the same as us and remove some advantages that people may have.

Episode #117 - Stepping Away From Emotion

It's very easy to get caught up in how you feel and act on those emotions. You can be having a great day, everything is going well and then all of a sudden something sets off the emotional side of you and you go into a panic. Sometimes we need be able to take a pause for a second and step back from the emotional side of things and think about it logically before we make an impulsive decision. This will help you make better rational choices and avoid you derailing yourself.

Episode #116 - Stop Skipping Sleep!

Sleep is one of the most underrated things that humans neglect. We are the only species that choose to forgo sleep which just blows me away because it's so important.

Episode #115 - Gaining Season

Winter is the perfect time to make some muscle gains. Here is everything you need to know...

Episode #114 - Eating Enough For Your Sport

One thing that I've noticed is that there is a lack of education for athletes who aren't professional. If you're someone who's an amateur you have to either hire someone yourself to help with your nutrition or go on the hunt for your own education. So in today's podcast, I want to share with you how to know if you're eating enough and explain how much you need to eat. This will help you improve your performance, your body composition, improve health markers, reduce risks of injury and ...

Episode #113 - What to REALLY focus on

In the world of instagram, there is a lot of misinformation out there. There are coaches that make you think you have to focus on certain things because THEY think it's important.

This podcast is for you if you're someone who's just a normal person who wants to get a bit fitter OR...

Episode #112 - Cardio For Boxers

Episode #111 - Body Fat Levels And Comparing Yourself

I recently purchased a new scale that I wanted to try out to see what the accuracy was like for clients.  Upon getting the scale I saw that it measured other things apart from just scale weight and these other measurements are very inaccurate. So I thought I'd educate you guys on how to get an accurate reading when it comes to testing your body fat levels if you are curious to know.  I also want to talk to you about comparing yourself to other people on social media and why that can be...

Episode #110 - I'm Now Boxing

So as you guys know I was planning on doing a triathlon at the start of this year. Unfortunately due to some injuries with my shins, I've had to change the goal posts.   So, going forward, my focus is going to be on training to become a boxer. The reason I decided that I want to become a boxer is because it's something that's going to push me outside of my comfort zone and try something new for 2022. In today's episode, I'm just going to give you a quick insight into what I'm going...

Episode #109 - The Scale And Tracking Progress

Episode #105 - My Dieting Phase

In today's podcast, I'm going to talk to you about my dieting phase. I decided to go on an eight-week diet go from 92.5kg down to 88kg.

Episode #97 - Gaining Phases With Anita Baz

In today's episode, Anita Baz is joining me on the podcast to talk about gaining phases. As she is a female I thought it would be great to bring her on and cover how she goes in a gaining phase and what considerations to make when actually pushing for muscle gain.

Each time she's gone through a gaining phase she's learned what to do and what to avoid to make sure the next one she does i...

Episode #96 Sports Talk - I've Stopped Triathlon Training

I was really hoping I was able to keep going with my triathlon training but unfortunately it was just bad timing for me and my shins. All of 2021 I struggle with running because of my Shins and I couldn't figure out what was causing the issue. I didn't know if it was the way I ran or what but it was frustrating. Then I kept getting multiple issues with the bike I had and because the repair shops take so long to get into I just figured that this wasn't the right time for me to be focusing...

Episode #94 Sports Talk - Training Correctly

One thing that athletes don't lack is the will to train. A lot of you are always showing up, doing what you need to do and sometimes even more. This is where the issue of "more" can become a problem. Training just for the sake of training or to get tired is not what you should be doing. That is more along the lines of exercising. Instead, you need to be focusing on training to get better at your sport and there is a difference between the two. Give today's podcast a listen to see...

Episode #91 - How food is used

I just wanted to continue on from last weeks podcast and talk about the food itself. It's all well and good for me to tell you that you need to be eating more and it's going to be so beneficial for you (and it's true). But I want to give you the information as to what actually happens to the food you eat. How do you actually gain muscle mass? How do you make sure you're avoiding gaining fat? What does food do when it's broken down into the body? All of these questions are going t...

Episode #90 - Sports Talk - Why Protein is important for athletes

You've probably heard that protein is important but do you actually know why it's important? It's not just for muscle gain. Basically, everything in our body uses proteins to some degree and if you want to get the best bang for your buck then you need to make sure you're getting enough protein in on a daily basis. The reason you want to focus on getting protein in on a daily basis is that we can't store protein it is used and if we don't get enough the body will pull it from places lik...

Episode #89 - Why You Need To EAT MORE

Everyone is stuck on the low calorie, low dieting phase at the moment and I hate it. I want to break the stigma and show people that you can diet while eating plenty of food and be more adherent. Most people fail when it comes to dieting because they think they have to starve themselves to get results but that's just because "everyone else" has been doing the same thing. But just because everyone else is doing it, doesn't mean that it's correct. When you actually eat enough food to f...

Episode #88 - Sports Talk - The Importance Of Aerobic And Anaerobic Cardio

Aerobic and Anaerobic fitness both play integral parts when it comes to your overall cardiovascular health. There are also different types of energy substrates that are used within the anaerobic and aerobic systems too. We have aerobic lipolysis (the use of fat as a fuel source) and also aerobic glycolysis (use of carbs as a fuel source). When we say fat as a fuel source or carbs as a fuel source this does not mean "burning fat" or losing fat when you are using fat as a fuel source. ...

Episode #87 - Why Consistency Matters

People always tend to fall into the trap of the all or nothing mentality. When they want to start a fitness journey they think that if they don't do everything they need to every day they might as well not even bother and in today's episode i'm going to show you why that's not a good idea. If you ever want to see long term success with your fitness, it's not going to be from following the all or nothing mentality. You have to accept that on some days you're not going to be able to do e...

Episode #86 - Sports Talk - Nutrition Principles

Nutrition is so important for athletes. Regardless of what type of sport you're doing, you're going to want to make sure that the food you're eating is supporting your goals.

Episode #83 - Random Thoughts On Coaching

The other day I was asked what is my opinion on coaching? What should coaching involve? How much should it cost for what you offer and a few other questions? At first, I told them what I thought based on my bias and then I realised, there's not one specific type of coaching. It's not specifically what I think coaching should include but more about what a coach should be giving you regardless and also what a coach should be expecting from a clients side of things. A lot of clients can...

Episode #82 - Avoiding Sickness

As an athlete, your goal is to stay in tip-top shape physically.  The issue with training so much and being so physically active is that you have a higher change of getting a risk of infections (specifically URTI'S) and you want to avoid that as much as you can. In today's podcast we will be diving deep in to how you can avoid getting sick and continuously make progress with your goals and avoid any setbacks.

New years resolutions are something that is so improtant and you need to set yourself up for success.
