We've all heard that 'consistency is key' but WTF does it mean and why is it so important? And why is it so f*cking hard? In this episode I'm going to talk about the challenges, the mindset and how you can take the first steps to breaking that 'all or nothing' cycle you're stuck in.

I recently had a realisation that has completely changed my attitude towards training, in a positive light too. This may not be the sexiest podcast you ever listen to but this conversation I've had has been f*cking great for my journey and I want to share it with you too.

If you have any sort of goal that requires progression, e.g. getting stronger, building muscle, 'toning up' or just feeling healthier then 'tempo' is something you need to know about. This episode explains WTF it means and why it's so important and HOW you can use it to your advantage. 'I'm not that into fitness' is genuinely something I say often. I love the way it makes me feel both physically and mentally and I miss it when I'm not doing it but I don't want my life to revolve around it. So this podcast is for those who want to feel stronger, healthier and happier whilst living a life outside of the gym.
