2024-10-071h 21The Imperfect PT PodcastS4, E6: Top Five Fat Loss Tips to Make Your Diet Easier & Amy's Dieting UpdateAs American author and happiness expert Gretchen Rubin says, “September is the other January”. In the sphere of diet and fitness, the “September reset” is often embraced and longed for more than the “New Year, New You” phase.
Summer holiday indulgences alongside a lack of routine with the kids at home can play havoc with daily eating habits and activity levels, leaving us less at peace with ourselves and the bodies we’re in.
It’s therefore the time of year many of us will contemplate dieting with all the challenges and pit falls that can br...

Are they to blame for our growing waist lines? Or is it the fault of the individual? Maybe you're in the camp that blames the government, or maybe you think that we need to do more to educate our children on how to prioritise more nutritious foods.
Either way, most people have an opinion, and in the episode...

2022-02-211h 05Not Another Fitness PodcastS2, E5: Alllllll things Training; Genetics, Load, Volume and RestAfter the great feedback from the last few episodes, we get a bit more into training again, and how to manipulate the variables of your training to achieve your goal. We discuss why it doesn't have to be super complicated, and how simple things like exercise selection and order DO make a difference, but are very easy ways to switch things up if training starts to get stale.
Then we have a great discussion about some research that came out discussing Genetics.

2022-02-1456 minNot Another Fitness PodcastS2, E4: Postural Differences, Night Shifts, Whoop and Amy goes for a Wee in the Middle.....This week, we talk about whether postural differences and imbalances actually matter for the general population. Do our bodies dramatically adapt to the function that we train then for, or are we guilty of creating our own narrative about our 'dodgy knee', 'weak shoulder' or 'dominant quad'?
Q&As this week focus on the Whoop Band vs. Apple Watch and the disparity between them, as well as tips for Night Shift workers to help them stay on track.
And before we talk about our darling of the industry this week, Amy need's a mid-pod wee....

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-10433249/Trainer-Camilla-Akerberg-reveals-THREE-nutrition-tos-shredding-fat.html
We then get a bit technical and talk about the movements that are credited to a 'complete' physique, what we would include, and if we would do anything differently. Are you doing these in your own training? Are there any you disagree with or would add in?

Is it gruelling, torturous and intense, or is it more balanced and based on principles of health habits and behaviours?
----
With plenty of opportunities for rants and discussions in this one, we chat about what a 'perfect' workout regime looks like for fat loss or maintenance, and could it be a case of having more money means it's easier to build a healthier lifestyle? We also delve into why Davina and...

2021-07-2656 minNot Another Fitness Podcast#66 - The Male 'Beer Belly' and can you Build Muscle in Your 40s?This week, we discuss central male adiposity, aka the beer belly and back fat. Can you ever get rid of it, and how as Personal Trainers do we manage the expectations of our clients who want to reduce it? Is it just a case of a calorie deficit and exercise?
