FTA Fitness: The Podcast

We all know that the secret to success is setting good goals. However, most people get goal setting wrong because they fixate too much on the outcome, which bites them on the ass later down the line. In this episode I go through the correct way of using your goal and why you should focus on the process and not the outcome to keep you motivated and moving forward.

If you worry about the odd indulgence and feel guilty after an indulgent weekend, then this episode is for you! In it I discuss the research that shows why you can't gain body fat overnight, and the main thing that helps people not only lose body fat, but keep it off for the rest of their lives.

For this episode I hand the mic over to Nadia, one of my long-term clients who came to me because she wanted to escape the endless cycle of over-restriction and constantly falling off the wagon. In it, she speaks about her experience working with me, including: 1. Where she was before we started working together 2. Her struggles and how we've worked together to work through them 3. Where she i...

The festive period can be a cause of anxiety for some, especially for those who feel torn between wanting to keep the momentum going on their fitness and nutrition goals but also wanting to enjoy time with loved ones.

[PART 2] For this episode I brought on a special guest! Sophie Jane Scott (aka Plaits & PBs) is a Powerlifting and Nutrition coach and currently a PhD student. In this, the first of a two-parter, we discuss the menstrual cycle. How it can affect mood, body image, hunger, training, as well as strategies to work with it rather than against it.

Today we're going to be talking about the scale weight. What it is, its limitations, why it isn't as important as we tend to perceive it to be, why it should never be the end goal, and why it shouldn't be our only metric for success. Hopefully by the end of this episode you'll come away feeling more comfortable using it as a piece of data (if you so choose) and won't feel so emotionally attached t...

Who am I? What's my story? Why should you listen to me?  Well, because most likely, I've been where you are. It may surprise you to know that all the way up until University and beyond, I was never a "fit" person, and the thought of eating vegetables was completely alien to me. So this episode is all about my journey with fitness and nutrition.  From my battles with self-image, finding c...

Sleep. We all do it, and if we're honest with ourselves we could probably do with more of it. Not only can it mean the difference between us waking up feeling full of energy or feeling like a bag of smashed crabs, but it's also a super important part of the fitness and nutrition equation. Without adequate sleep, we are shortchanging our results and making things harder for ourselves. In this episo...

The last thing you need when trying to work on your fitness and nutrition is false information muddying the waters and making life harder than it needs to be. In this episode I talk about some of the more common nutritional myths, where they came from and why they're false.

Such profesh, much quality.

In this episode, I talk about my body image journey and how strength training can help to improve the relationship we have with our bodies.

Do you always find yourself "falling off the wagon" because as soon as you're unable to stick to your plan perfectly you think "f*** it" and give up? Constantly putting off getting started because you're waiting for the "right time"? This episode is all about why worrying about being perfect is actually the thing that is stopping you from seeing results, and how embracing imperfection will mean th...
