Group exercise classes (Peloton, Soul cycle, orange theory) tend to have the everyday person train too hard. Why? People judge the value of the workout based on their effort. Sweat and work hard= good workout Most training should be pretty comfortable, but easy doesn't sell.
@alexporter_ @James_Morehen Glad you enjoyed it, Alex. James may want to weigh in here but a lot of the time S&C coaches will pick up the slack due to clubs not having budget for even a part time nutritionist. It’s needs must in that situation. Befriending a nutritionist may be a good idea in that situation
I've been meaning to guest on Yorkshire Grit for a while. This podcast gets very heavy 3/4 of the way through but ends on the positives, something I don't always get a chance to talk about but its a crucially important part of my story. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/yor…
