Calling Out Misinformation Oct 20, 2023

Show notes

Have you heard about the EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) Machine?

Apparently, according to some influencers, this machine is the "quickest way to burn glutes and back fat" and this could replace a 90-minute workout with just 20 minutes of EMS training.

In today's episode, I share my concerns about social media influencers promoting methods with misleading claims. I explain the difference between calling out misinformation and personally attacking someone.

Remember everyone! My intent is to address false information and not to label individuals as "bad". Noting inaccuracies online and expressing disagreement isn't bullying! It is important that we clarify misinformation.

Show notes

In my last episode of 7 Things I Wish I Knew When I Started Lifting, I discuss Physique Building Being an Ongoing Journey.

What is your kryptonite? - Fast Fat Loss Strategies Series Part 1 Oct 03, 2023

Show notes

In the first episode of the series, I discuss strategy #1 which is all about attacking your weak area (your “kryptonite”).

The majority of us have 1-2 things holding us back in fat loss which leads us to failure over and over.

I talk about finding that 1 thing that keeps holding you back and why you should be addressing that first.

Once you eliminate the main reason you’re not making progress, then fast fat loss can occur as you stop going backwards.

Let’s face it, fat loss is simple, but also really hard! This short series on fat loss will help you to find strategies that allow you to optimise your fat loss goals.

Fast fat loss more so means efficient fat loss. Doing things well to not lead you to feel like you are always taking 1 step forward and 2 steps back.

Learn how to lose fat efficiently and effectively.
