I’ve been a personal trainer in London for over 20 years, and my most successful clients have embraced the need to optimise these three things: exercise, nutrition and sleep. You need all three.
Exercise
The more active you are, the healthier you will be in the long term. I recommend you do a wide variety of physical activity. One or two PT sessions per week with me of course, then a range of additional activities during the week. Daily walking is a great way to boost physical activity without putting too much stress on the joints or nervous system, and you can incorporate it into your daily life.
Nutrition
If you hire me as your personal trainer, I will advise you on your nutrition at no extra charge. The key to optimum nutrition is to cut out junkfood, highly processed foods/drinks, and to increase your intake of lean protein, fruit & veg. Remember to stay well hydrated with water, as every function in your body requires water, including fat loss.
Sleep
Good quality sleep is one of the most under-rated and most overlooked aspects of your health. During sleep you repair your body and mind. Chronic sleep deprivation will increase your risk of a whole range of diseases, so it’s worth prioritising good sleep. As your personal trainer, I will advise you on how to boost the quality of your sleep.
