Resistance training should be at top of anyone's list when wanting to change their body composition. But why is this?
When wanting to lose fat, our training needs to work towards retaining as much muscle tissue as possible. As well as the many other benefits, this will be a key feature which will allow you to lose body fat rather than just bodyweight.
When trying to build more muscle tissue, weight training is the key driving factor in forcing our body to adapt to new stimuli and become stronger/bigger.
Without resistance training, you're making your journey nearly impossible.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

The simple answer to this is YES! But, it depends on our own situation.
People who are new to exercise, or new to weight training specifically, can easily build muscle tissue when in a calorie deficit.
This only becomes a problem when you have a large training history, but don't let this put you off! If you are just starting a fitness journey then building muscle will help you look and feel better. If you have been training for years, then you just need to be smart with your nutrition and not try to achieve every goal at once. Pick one and smash it.

Another staple in my weekday dinners!
Ingredients for two people:
300g Turkey breast
1 onion
1 red pepper
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp maple syrup
250g micro brown rice
2 eggs
2 spring onions
2 tbsp tomato puree
4 tbsp corn flour
80g sugar snap peas
Method:
In a bowl, coat the diced turkey in the corn flour, salt and pepper. On a medium heat, pan fry the turkey for 6 minutes or until golden. Meanwhile, dice the onion, pepper, sugar snap peas and slice the spring onions.
Add the onion, pepper and sugar snaps to the turkey and cook for 5 minutes.
Make the sweet and sour sauce in a bowl by mixing together the tomato puree, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup and 2tbsp of water. Once made, add to the same pan as before and cook for 2-3 minutes.
In a separate pan, heat 1 tsp of oil and add the brown rice, spring onion and 2 tbsp of water. Cook for 3 minutes or until hot. Once hot, push the rice to the sides of the plan and crack both eggs into the middle. Mix the eggs to break the yolks and leave to cook through.
Once the eggs are cooked, mix into the rice and you're all set to dish up!

This is a strong ethos to live by with nutrition. Long term consistency always wins. Always.
You know you're going wrong when you're so strict on yourself through the week that it causes massive food binges at the weekend.
One small treat a day, keeps the binge away!

Nando's at home!
This one is SO simple, and is only 581 calories. Rough macros: 48g Protein, 19g Fat and 53g Carbs. For two people you'll need:
2 150g chicken breasts
400g sweet potato
150g carrots
100g red cabbage
1 lemon
80g coconut yoghurt
1 bottle of nando's sauce
2 tsp of paprika
Method:
Start by butterflying both the chicken breasts and covering them in half the nando's sauce in a bowl. Then cut the sweet potatos into 1cm thick chips, boil for 5 minutes only, and then place on a baking tray with salt, pepper and the paprika. Throw the chips in the oven for 25 minutes.
Cook the chicken in a pan (on medium heat) for 8-10 minutes per side. Meanwhile, dice the cabbage and grate the carrot. Mix these together in a bowl with the coconut yoghurt, a pinch of salt and the lemon juice.
Once both the chicken and chips have cooked through, plate and enjoy with the remaining nando's sauce!

Buisness news!
I've been hanging onto this for a while now but as gyms are allowed to open again, it finally looks solid that i'll be joining the team at Ultimate Performance St.Pauls next week.
For anyone who knows little about this company, i'll be joining an elite team of personal trainers who pride themselves on being the best in the world. Those who know me well, know that whatever I put my mind to, I plan on being the best. This is a huge step for me in the direction of being in that position.
For some of you reading this, it may be a shock to see me moving away from sports performance work. Don't get me wrong, I still love all of that but this change will allow me to help a much larger amount of people and that, at the end of the day, is why I do what I do.
I'll still endevour to bring you all good, honest training and nutritional tips through this page too!
Have an excellent week everyone!

With many things in the fitness industry, the answer to this is that it depends on your situation. But hear me out!
I would usually split this kind of thing into two sides: Whether you're training for a performance goal or a body composition goal.
When training for a performance goal I would NOT combine strength and conditioning work in the same session due to this removing some of the potency. In this situation you would separate the two areas so you can acheive maximum benefit from each of them individually.
When training for a body composition goal, I would combine areas of these two together. We are often not concerned with maximising performance in specific areas and can mix training types together to get a maximal fat loss result.
I hope this helps you plan your own sessions a little better!
