#147 - When Are Numbers Useful?

Are We Still Here? ·

2024/06/05

A "longy" today, which naturally means part 2 is coming next week. Today we focused on numerical data in all aspects of health and fitness, and how to figure out whether it's useful or not. From calorie intake to daily output, we discuss in great detail our own reasons for leaving it be or honing in on it. We'd love to hear your thoughts on this one!

#146 - Improving Your Default

Are We Still Here? ·

2024/05/29

Inspired by Liam Holmes, and chats with clients, today we went into the term moderation and why it's subjective and means something different to every person. We also spoke about the "80/20" rule, and how it doesn't always matter if that model doesn't work for you. We may have also gone on a rant about AI and comparison... maybe. Apologies for the sound today! Jess did her absolute best recording on the side of a road in Hong Kong – we hope you appreciate the effort.

Are We Still Here? ·

2024/05/22

Today we talked about the psychology of goal setting, and why we get hooked on setting new goals and quickly forget about our old ones.

#144 - Hybrid, or just Fitness?

Are We Still Here? ·

2024/05/15

What an ep. A few disagreements make for a fantastic episode. Today we talked about the current trend of "Hybrid" training (a.k.a. concurrent training). We ask, is it just fitness? Or is it deeper than that? Is everyone an athlete? Or does that mean no one is? SO much gold in this podcast, a great chat as always.

This episode dives into what strength can mean for all levels of fitness, and how it will continue to look different in all stages of your life.

Are We Still Here? ·

2024/04/10

In a world saturated with fitness trends and quick fixes, finding lasting joy in physical activity can seem like an elusive goal. But what if the key to enjoying fitness isn't just about the workout itself, but rather the intention we create and the mindset we bring to it? This week we explore the power of embracing the mundane moments of our fitness journey, and we'll discuss the importance of cultivating the right environment for our fitness pursuits, as well as finding the best alternative when

#139 - Breaking Down Barriers

Are We Still Here? ·

2024/04/03

There are so many reasons people aren't getting a good dose of fitness every week. Today we looked at the most common barriers we hear of, and how to overcome them. We go into time, choosing to fill our time in different ways, knowledge, lack of interest, and of course – the dreaded ego. One thing we decided on was being aware of your own barriers is number one. If we don't know what they are, it's impossible to make attempts to overcome them.

Are We Still Here? ·

2024/03/27

Would people rather believe than know? Not all food identity leads to negative place. Food is culture at the end of the day, and all over the world people identify with recipes, ingredients and food rituals. However, when it comes to the dieting world – identifying with a way of eating can cause people to forget about the bigger picture, actual evidence, and their own personal needs. Today's episode goes into everything food identity, tribalism, and why awareness round this topic is key.

#136: Navigating Distractions in Fitness

Are We Still Here? ·

2024/03/13

Today we narrowed down the huge topic of distractions. There are completely valid distractions such as kids, illness, workload etc. and then there are distractions we bring on ourselves, such as comparison, allowing charlatans to unleash hell on our ears via irresponsible podcasting. And lifestyle distractions, such as focusing on strange anomalies instead of what's been slapping you in the face for months. Stepping over pounds to pick up pennies is huge in the wellness industry, try not to let it

Are We Still Here? ·

2024/03/06

Ahead of Thursday's "GIVE ME STRENGTH" webinar, we go into RPE today and why effort is so important when it comes to your training. A perfect programme is nothing without a person who is willing. We also go into the subjectivity of training and how too much focus on data can lead us into a false sense of security, and also enable us to become attached to our past performances. *GIVE ME STRENGTH TICKETS > https://shorturl.at/nuFT9

#132 - Are you Resting TOO much?

Are We Still Here? ·

2024/02/14

After a little social media driven tangent at the beginning, we get into the topic of too much rest. What happens when we take too much time away from training? Physically? Mentally? We then go into how experience is what allows us to know when we need rest and when we need to ignore the voices in our heads and get on with it. We go into our personal experiences of this, and how knowing yourself is key to staying consistent with your training.

2024/01/24

On today's episode, Sacha & Jess go into the inevitable peaks and troughs of training for life, and how it's best to accept and move on than to dwell.
