Summary
When it comes to health and fitness, one of the biggest challenges in the digital age is information overload. Whether you’re excited about running or cycling, ketogenic diets or intermittent fasting, you can get so far lost down a rabbit hole of research that you never manage to actually get started. On this week’s podcast we meet Marc Bubbs, a coach and nutritionist, who helps pro athletes and people from all walks of life in middle age and beyond set appropriate targets and reasonable goals to achieve above average fitness.
Listen and learn:
- Why most of us consume 40% of our calories after 6pm
- The risk of non-functional overload (do we mean overtraining?)
- How just 10 sets of exercises per body part per week can make a huge difference
- Why consuming 1.2g of protein per kg of body weight can be a game changer
