Stop Sleeping In
We all know how good it feels rolling over and hitting the snooze button, and part of you thinks ‘well, another 10 minute won’t hurt - I’ve got time’! BUT, it might be doing more harm than you think - these are just some of the effects of sleeping in late: 💤 Increase in blood pressure💤 An increase in the stress hormone ‘cortisol’💤 Forgetfulness💤 Binge eating / poor decision making💤 Dull skin / poor skin colour So, next time the alarm goes off - jump up and go, it might be a couple of minutes of grogginess but you’ll have...

Scheduling
We spoke about programming recently and how effective it can be at maximising your workout whilst also keeping you on track but what about scheduling? You don’t need to be competing in the Arnold Classic or Mr Olympia to benefit from scheduling your workouts each week or month. Sitting down with your diary for 30 minutes and working out what your workload or personal diary looks like before committing yourself to your workouts is a fantastic way of making sure you’re staying on top of your training and equally splitting it to hit all of your goals. This is common...

Mind Muscle Connection
We’ve all seen that person at the gym, throwing weights around in the vague direction they’re supposed to go in the hope that the muscle they think they’re working is actually engaging! BUT, have you ever truly used the mind muscle connection method to maximise each and every rep? Mind muscle connection is often over complicated, in essence it’s our ability to mentally focus on and fully engage with the muscle we’re working and the best way to truly maximise its benefits is to drop your weight down, waaaaay down and focus fully on both the eccentric and concentric phase...

Isotonics
There’s often a lot of confusion when it comes to Isotonics, what are they? Why are some gels / drinks Isotonic and others hypotonic? In simplistic terms, a drink or gel is ‘isotonic’ when it contains the same particulate concentration as blood. So, a drink or gel is hypotonic when less concentrated than blood and hypertonic when more concentrated. Think about the consistency of a gel for example, isotonic gels are much more fluid in texture, hypotonic ones thicker. All drinks and gels designed to meet an athletes' needs during effort must be isotonic or slightly hypotonic, but never hypertonic....

Sugar - a spoonful a day, does NOT keep the doctor away!
Now, we’re not one to rule out a little indulgence every once in a while. In fact, we support it - our thought is the more manageable your day to day diet is, the more likely you are to stick to and maintain a healthy, balanced lifestyle. But, when it comes to sugar, if, like most people, you don’t track your macros it is so easy to underestimate just how much you’re actually consuming without even realising it. According to the NHS, the sugars in the UK that most children and adults are consuming are ‘free sugars’. These are sugars...
