Eat on the go and stay healthy: PART TWO

wake-work-sleep-wake-work-sleep

We all get stuck in a rut.

In fact, I believe the way we live our lives is broken.

People in the UK spend less than 2 hours of their day outside

The average british citizen will spend 47 years working, probably in a job they hate

It takes 2-3 months of consistent weight lifting for a beginner to start gaining noticeable muscle.

 

Because the muscles prefer to improve neuromuscular aspects (co-ordination, muscle memory, technique etc.) first because they are less energy demanding.

How to Build More Muscle and Strength

Most people struggle with building muscle more than any other goal

Maybe you can’t improve on your pull-up strength?

Well…

ALL of those areas pale in comparison to building muscle.

Lifting Weights Will Build The Perfect Female Body

‘But I don’t want to look like one of those muscly women!’

…Ah, I have heard this a thousand times.

Almost from EVERY female member we’ve ever had in fact.

Yet it is what’s known as a COGNITIVE BIAS

Know what cognitive bias is? Anyone?

Basically, it’s when your brain uses set patterns to make decisions

Yet if those patterns are faulty, BAD decisions get made

Such as…. NOT lifting weights if you’re a female!
