5 Reasons Protein Is So Important For Your Training

Building muscle, feeling full, aiding weight loss there are many reasons why protein is the golden macronutrient. Protein is also vital for recovery, repair and preventing injury, so how much should you be eating? 

It doesn’t matter if your goal is fat loss or building muscle, if you’re not sleeping for at least 7.5 hours per night you could be seriously sabotaging your gains.

When sleep is king you’ll see a huge difference with your training, results and mindset. This is because muscle gains happen when you sleep, you'll also have more energy for your workout, and sleep retains more energy in turn reducing your appetite. 

If your goal is to change your body shape, hitting the treadmill in the gym or doing random home workouts simply won’t deliver the results you’re looking for.

Aim to progressively overload every week and you’ll be surprised how much more you’ll gain from your weekly workout. You may not be able to progress in every single session, but as long as you are improving volume, weight or time under tension over time, your body will adapt.

Mindfulness Meets Fitness. The new fitness trend for inner wellbeing according to the Foresight Factory’s trend report.

“Mental wellbeing has become a taboo-free talking point and is now considered as important as physical wellbeing. Meanwhile, society is normalising practices that promote everyday mental hygiene. These include mindfulness and breathing techniques, talking therapies and medicinal support – as well as general wellbeing behaviours like good sleep, regular exercise, balanced nutrition and social connectivity, all of which are associated with mental health benefits.”
