Had someone I know reach out recently and ask about getting into the Fitness Industry; as soon as I clicked "Send", I knew I'd written a reply that had to be shared/put out there so that other aspiring "Fit Pros" might benefit also!

I've been meaning to record this for months, and just the other day I saw a friend's Instagram post that showed a picture of a donut, and it said: 'Treat the Donut, Not the Hole!' ... Seemed like the perfect trigger to get to it and talk about the Biopsychosocial Approach!

One direction that my Personal Training career nearly took was headed towards one of the fastest growing Fitness franchises in America... Learn a little something extra about Orangetheory Fitness (and me) in today's installment!

Time to get under the hood of one of the most misunderstood titles in the Fitness Industry - the Master Trainer! Let's separate fact from fiction...

As the Tech Industry merges evermore with the Fitness Industry, I want to briefly explore the pitfalls and opportunities to be had when we put ourselves in the hands of Technology - from Wearables to Streaming to Virtual & "Live" Coaching... Have our dreams from last century really come to fruition? And is it a good thing?

We've covered Mindset and how it correlates to optimum recovery. Now, let's do a "180" - we're going to consider how Mindset can affect your Performance! 'PMA', Visualization, 'The Zone' - let's think like an Athlete!

Let's dive under the covers of an often entirely overlooked Training Method that can help you increase your strength and lean muscle gains in small "bite-sized" increments. Micro-Loading has been around for a while, but you never really hear about it... So, I'm about to tell you what you need to know!

People chase 'the look' - the physique that's in vogue for a number of years, then shifts when no-one cares anymore. People also chase performance. But can you have both? Let's talk some more...

Shifting the media's ever-shining light away from "Weight Loss" and focusing on *Fat Loss* - we're looking at why it is so fundamental to get a grip on your Body Fat Percentage (as a WOMAN).

Workout format and structure is crucial to your success in the gym (especially if you're new to lifting). The most common routines that are the easiest to get into are "Split Routines" and "Full Body Workouts", so today, we're going to dissect each of them and analyze the benefits of using one over the other.

Today, we’re getting real when it comes to Hollywood “bods” and how they’re really acquired. It’s time for some myth-busting, “secret”-revealing, truth-spilling insights into the latest obsession that has the silver screen portraying physiques that most of us will simply never achieve. This is a provocative look behind the veil, so prepare to be challenged…

Power! Some might say it’s only attainable if you class as “elite”. Fact is, there’s virtually no reason you can’t perform like the elite. There are levels to progress through before you can attain such a high level of performance, but if you’re up to the challenge, then step up and reach beyond what you think is possible. Let’s take a look at what you have to do to start implementing power into your routine…

We take a big dip into the lifting domains of “sets & reps” as we analyse the different ways that we can teach the muscle to adapt and grow, and evaluate the benefits of each. This podcast is especially helpful if you’ve just started incorporating weights into your fitness routine, but even if you’re a more experience lifter, this may still help to open your mind to changing up how you train.

Today's podcast covers my workout routine when I travelled to the Dominican Republic over Christmas for my Honeymoon. Keeping Fit Abroad needn't be tricky nor take up much time, so have a listen to hear what I was up to; if you want to try out the workouts yourself, then download my FREE Mini Workout Guide from the blog: https://cxpfitness.blog/free-stuff/

Today’s podcast will go over three types of HIIT Cardio that – in my opinion – are the best you can try. In a way, you could look at these three methods as being something akin to a “Beginners/Intermediate/Advanced” guide, but no matter what your experience is (either as a trainer or general lover of fitness), you’ll still benefit from mixing things up and trying out something new.

We talk about the benefits of pursuing physical activity in order to optimize your lifestyle and preserve your health!

In this podcast I share three of my key insights on Type II Diabetes in the hope that it may help others better understand the condition, and perhaps even reverse it (like I did). This was a blog post that was originally written for TEDx Folkestone, and as my debut podcast, I’m excited to share it with the you!
