Heather’s Podcast (CakeSleepGymRepeat)

25 minutes of my thoughts ... a bit beyond the standard and very much an opinion piece

This is a very personal episode where I talk entirely about my own fitness right now.

Are you always looking for a new plan or diet? Are you always starting again or trying to find a place where you are happy and in a routine? These are the three things I believe you need to come to terms with to see success and be happy with your own training and diet (and which all fit together in a circle). This was recorded just before lockdown and I held off publishing as we all had other things on our mind but as gym hopefully look to reopen soon and we start to return back to looking at our goals I think this is a good time to publish this.

It’s not enough to have a goal - it needs to be the right goal.

How will training look as gyms start to open up?

Not a sales podcast but my genuine thoughts on why I think it could be a good investment for you to buy a running programme (note not plan) if you want to improve your running and get support.

My take on the issue of good v bad clean v not healthy v unhealthy

I chat why I like online classes, some tips for those who haven’t yet tried one and how I see online classes evolving as gyms reopen

Stress, anxiety and worry are something I think everyone’s experienced during lockdown. Here I talk about strategies you could use to help cope with these feelings.

Me chatting about shopping habits, how they have been affected by lockdown and how that in turn has affected our eating habits.

I’m actually pretty proud of this episode - I talk about how food can make us feel, why it affects us and how and why being aware of this can be both a blessing and a hinderance. If you’ve beaten yourself up at any point for your eating in the last few weeks please listen.

The importance of not just setting goals but setting goals that matter. specifically considering creating lockdown goals to get you through the here and now.

A brief ponder about how I’m approaching (or not approaching) rest days during lockdown and why you might want to start thinking about this too.

Three methods of managing your diet over the Easter period (apply equally ell to Christmas, birthdays, weekends away etc)

Part one - why I don’t believe it’s true / Part two - why I don’t believe it’s helpful or healthy

All about calories and NEAT. Short sharp and to the point!

6 Things I’ve realised since staying at home

This is my second general ramble about how I feel about the situation right now. The first ten minutes are me just reflecting on my own jumbled thoughts. From then on in I discuss how I’m approaching training, eating and goal setting right now which I think will be appropriate for a lot of peopel

Short short podcast with my initial thoughts and emotions

In this episode I chat running with Hollie including our top 7 tips (was meant to be 5) for new runners. Stay tuned for the argument at around the 60 minute mark when first the wine tasting man arrives and Hollie breaks my intercom system and then proceeds to tell me everything that’s wrong with the layout of my flat!

This is a recording of my guest appearance on the Ricky Long podcast published last Sunday where we discuss my experiences within the fitness industry

Very quick podcast following BF on from episode 6 about why I think think notion of YOLO can be counter productive

Here I talk about my reflections on the conversations I’ve had so far in 2020 - What’s the best way to eat and train, how you’ve got to change to change and how to get past all the bullshit out there and work out what’s right for you

Why you need to qualify to eat intuitively.

Part 1 - Effects of lack of sleep. Part 2- strategies to improve sleep quality, getting to sleep quicker and getting back to sleep when you wake up

Episode two is a bit shorter and I talk about the one main reason people struggle to stick to a diet when trying to lose weight. This is useful for fitness professionals as I talk about what we can do to rectify this and people looking to lose weight as I discuss how you can beat this one key reason and find success.

My first podcast. Here is introduce myself a little and tell you a bit about me at the same time as telling you why I’d not recommend Slimming Clubs to anyone looking to lose weight.
