#133 - My Training & Body Composition goals for the next 12 months with Craig McDonald
Now that we decided on no kids, I’m getting serious about my training again and setting some new training and body composition goals.

After much back and forth with Craig I decided to be a bodybuilder for 12 months 🤣 Craig loves his body building.
In this episode, we chat about:
➡️My current goals, training, nutrition and body composition for the next 12 months

➡️The importance of building muscle
➡️The length of time losing body fat can take
➡️Sustaining your current body composition

Jim has been on the podcast a couple of times. Craig and I are friends with him and his wife Peri, they're awesome people. It’s hard to describe what Jim does but I always say he has a sixth sense when feeling people’s pain.
He’s helped Craig and me with so many injuries and niggles; it’s really incredible the work he does!
Now that I'm back into training full swing and doing a 5 day split I've been seeing Jim every 4-6 weeks for his athletes tune up.
In this episode, we chat about:
➡️The Bostock Needle Technique
➡️What the “Athletic Tune-Up” Involves

#131 - Returning to training after being sick with Craig McDonald
Craig, my other half and co-founder of NuStrength, and I jumped on for a quick episode to chat about getting back to training after being sick.
We’ve noticed so many women have been sick lately, and have had to take time off from training. It can be really tempting to try to jump right back into your training afterward to make up for lost time. But this can actually be detrimental to your overall progress.
While you want to rest and recover from your sickness, you also want to slowly build back up again. Craig talks about how exactly to do this and how to ease back into your regular training regime (and more!).
So, if you’re heading back into the gym after getting sick, this one is for you.
