You can’t out-train a poor diet. Trust us, we’ve tried. No matter how hard you hit the gym, a lean body and top performance stem from smart food choices. Tune in to learn why consistency trumps compensation and why exercising to “make up for” dietary slips isn’t a lasting fix.

You know that old cliche 'every little bit helps'?

Its really true, only people have a hard time seeing it that way.

Find out how you can fit in more movement without the added stress

Work is really busy.

Or your kid is going through a “phase.”

Or it’s pie season.

Any number of obstacles, distractions, and competing demands can make it so easy (and understandable!) to put your fitness, nutrition, and health goals on hold.

Most of us have done this. We tell ourselves, “I’ll start that new habit when life calms down a bit.”

Problem is…

Things never really slow down permanently.

Are you over-processing your fitness?

Getting bogged down in details? Remember to keep exercise simple.

It’s easy to get overwhelmed with the sheer volume of fitness media and advice out there. Type “exercise” into Google and you’ll get scorched with the information blast.

It can seem like there are so many things to remember.

So many conflicting ideas. So many details.

Stop. Relax. And . . .

What are the simplest lessons I have learnt on the way to fitness

Let’s start by thinking about where you’re at with your workouts these days. On one end: An emerging athlete with a strong body and a confident attitude. Head held high. Every move is pure power and grace. On the other end: An overwhelmed, not-so-compliant, struggling-with-nutrition,dreads-training-so-why-would-I-want-to-push-myself-even-harder kind of person. Doing your very best, but feeling like it just isn’t good enough. Find yourself on the spectrum and ask yourself some questions.

Now that the weather is getting nice, you may be tempted to forgo your resistance training and head outdoors for some aerobic exercise in the fresh air. But beware: if you give up your resistance training, you will be giving up more than you bargained for.
