The All Or Nothing Podcast - By Maddi Woods

Always be sure to think critically when reading / hearing recent 'fitness claims'. Because they NEVER explain the whole story or will show you the bigger picture!

Is it really New...

The most raw & real confession you'll hear in December from a Health & Fitness Coach haha

RING THE BELL. AS OFTEN AS YOU CAN. Takehomes: 1. Calorie Deficit 2. Daily protein target 3. Split this up (ensuring to ring the bell) 4. Space meals out (due to refractory period - leucine needs to come back down to baseline) 5. STRENGTH TRAIN - similarly, ring the bell & consider recovery & when you can train again just has hard. Studies that explain further: - Areta et al. (2013) - Eati...
