So it's the summer and I thought I would go through what my training plan currently looks like alongside my diet and my lifestyle to accommodate my summer goals for my fitness, for my body, for my health. I think like everyone it's always shifting, it's always changing. It's not changing dramatically. Like my health is always my baseline like I always want to be healthy happy strong and then kind of my more specific goals layer on top of that and I think sometimes in the fitness industry that can get a little lost

So when it comes to my nutrition as a starting point

my nutrition is always to be happy, to be healthy, to be vibrant, to be strong and

to maintain my weight unless I want to lose or gain body fat.

So I eat that way and I think sometimes people struggle with their reasons to have a good

nutrition program and for me it always comes down to what do you want

long term for your health let's not just talk about short term let's just not

talk about the abs and your kind of physical fitness goals. Let's talk about long term.

If you want to be happy and healthy and strong for the next 10, 20, 30 years, you need this baseline where you're constantly looking at the food you eat and what it gives your body.

So I always eat well 80, 90% of the time because I want to be happy, I want to be healthy, I want to be vibrant, I want to be happy I want to be healthy I want to be

vibrant I want to be able to concentrate with my work in my social life and all of these

things feed into that so there's a baseline there now during the summer I'm trying to gain weight. So I'm trying to build a bit of muscle.

I'm currently in my third month of muscle building and I've gone from a four day a week program down to a three day a week program to give me a bit more flexibility to push and back off when I need to.

And I think this is really important when it comes to training. The fitness industry is great at getting us to push our

training all the time like drive towards a goal and that's absolutely fine as

long as you have the capacity with your lifestyle, your sleep, your nutrition to do that.

So training really hard takes a certain amount of emphasis on your recovery routine. So I, for example, I train six days a week, but only three of

those days are intense. So this week, Monday, Wednesday, Friday is going to be really intense.

Yesterday I did a very heavy high-volume leg session.

Today, I've just been for a gentle run with my dog

25 minutes, 9 o'clock in the morning nice and sunny just get out for a jog I'm not trying to push myself I'm not trying to say right I need to cover you know five miles or whatever I'm just going for a run for nice cardio respiratory fitness. Then this

evening I'm going to play a 20-20 cricket match. Again it's not for fitness,
