I had such an interesting conversation with a friend of mine last week about her unexplained weight gain.
She messaged saying Kit, I've gained 4kgs in the last few months and I just don't know why. Should I be doing more cardio??
I asked her if she'd been tracking her food and she said no, but I feel like I don't eat badly...
I remember when I first met Craig and he would say, “Focus on the data, not your feelings.”
Tracking really helped me get out of the emotions and actually look at the facts. This showed me where I was going wrong, which allowed me to make the correct changes so I could reach my body and health goals.
So, in this episode, Craig and I chat about:
➡️How the data doesn’t lie
➡️Belief vs reality
➡️Taking extreme ownership
➡️How data leads to a result
➡️What data points we use with our clients
➡️How consistency leads to results
➡️Taking imperfect action

If you like lifting and getting strong, Ben Yanes’ IG page will really resonate with you. Craig and I love the educational content Ben produces. Ben is a personal trainer and educator of exercise mechanics based in New York.
Most women that we work with say they want a toned and athletic body. But where a lot of women go wrong (I did this too back in the day) is that they do a ton of HIIT, running, and boot camps. So, I wanted to get Ben on to talk about what building muscle and “getting toned” actually involves.
In this episode, Ben and I chat about:
➡️Ben’s training and athletic background 
➡️Why HIIT and boot camps aren't the best way to build muscle 
➡️Weight loss myths
➡️What happens when you first start lifting
➡️Forming better habits
➡️Why walking is essential for fitness and weight loss
➡️How muscle regulates insulin and glucose
➡️Frequency and volume of training
➡️Why doing more isn’t always better
➡️Training to failure for building muscle and why it's important
➡️Where to start if you’re new to lifting
➡️Should you swap exercises every four weeks?
➡️Once you reach your body goal how much work does it take to maintain it?
➡️Nutrition for growing muscle
