The Everyday Athlete Coaching Podcast

Tune in as I discuss one of my three pillars inside the Everyday Athlete - Strength 🙌 I talk about how building full-body strength is so much more than just getting in shape and changing the way you look, but also protecting your body long term and moving away from diet culture. Building functional strength (rather than bodybuilding) so you can actually use it in real life by setting your mind to...

Tune in for episode 29 as I discuss all things regarding pre- and post-workout nutrition 🙌 This is definitely a higher-level strategy with nutrition, and there's no point focusing too much on this until you've got the basics of nutrition dialled in.

Hope you enjoy, and as always drop a comment if you have any feedba...

This week I'm back solo with a training episode that I think is going to challenge a few things you thought you knew xD Because a lot of what gets pushed in the fitness world around training and nutrition is either overcomplicated, outdated, or just flat out wrong. And if you've been showing up consistently, putting the work in, doing what you think you're supposed to be doing - but st...

Tune as as this week I play my very first episode from my previous podcast - "Fitness On The Go" which I launched back in November 2022.

Do you ever wonder why everywhere you look there is convenience and temptation everywhere? You're not going mad, between advertising and society set up, as well as the convenience lifestyle we've adopted.. On top of that we have the overwhelming pull of social media with lots of information (some good, some bad) which can lead to overwhelm and confusion. Nutrition will always be about slow...

Most people asking "should I cut or bulk?" are actually asking the wrong question. Before any nutrition protocol, there's a more important conversation to have — and it's about identity, not calories. In this episode, I break down why low calorie, low fat, and low carb thinking keeps gym-goers trapped in the fat loss loop, why maintenance is the most underrated phase in training,...
