All Things Fitness Drew Mercer

In today’s episode, Drew discusses different dietary styles and provides an insight into why there is no superior way of eating. While the advice of ‘finding what works best for you’ seems simple, it is often the most overlooked component of dietary modification.

Part 2 of my chat with Dr Renee Bazley is a continuation of part 1 - in this episode we dive into the ‘all or nothing’ approach. Some pots of gold in this episode and another must-listen!

In this episode, I speak with Dr Renee Bazley, clinical psychologist, about two main topics: the concept of control vs self-control, and the ‘all or nothing’ approach. This episode is an absolute discussion of wisdom and a must listen!

I learnt this lesson a number of years ago - things aren’t always going to be perfect, and there is never going to be the perfect time. There will always be ‘stuff’ that gets in the way; life, stress, injuries, work, kids etc. One of the great skills is learning how to remain consistent with whatever goals or habits you’ve created, even when things get tough. How can you remain consistent with your exercise when it’s raining/stressful/around injuries? Finding ways to continue moving forward, through challenges, is a really important skill.

HIIT is a commonly-promoted form of exercise, and rightly so as it provides huge physiological benefits to the body. However, true HIIT, and the proven benefits of completing HIIT, are often misunderstood. Todays episode clarifies what HIIT is, and how to start completing these sessions.

In this episode, I sit down with Tom, and he asks questions based on his goals. I thought it was such a great question, so let’s record it! The theme of the chat is this, is it better to focus on building muscle and performance, or focus on losing fat, for body compositional change? The chat provides a great insight into different approaches to achieving the same goal. Thanks Tom!
