In this episode we talk about structure, how important it is and why now could be the best time to start setting yourself some structure or try and build some new habits.

Another thing we mention is that we are running an online 4-week Lockdown program, which this is designed to keep you strong, fit and active over over the next four weeks.

Here’s what you’ll get:

• Three online sessions per week delivered via ZOOM.
• One nutrition, lifestyle and accountability group coaching call per week.
• Our very own recipe book aswell as our own e-book.

Then, for those local to LIFT, or willing to travel you’ll have a 3-week pass to come and try one of our coaching groups at LIFT.

In this episode Keir and Aaron talk Coronavirus, a little bit on the impact it’s having on the world and then we give you our tips to not just survive the two week isolation period, but to thrive in it and to come out a little bit better off than when you went into isolation to begin with.

So without further ado, we hope you enjoy this episode of the LIFT Fitness Podcast.

Here’s the books we talk about during this episode

• Strong Curves by Bret Contreras.
• Strong and Sculpted by Brad Schoenfeld.
• Not a Diet Book by James Smith.
• Mindset by Carol S. Dweck.

Aaron also briefly talks about something that he read in this book, so despite this not being an actual recommendation we’ve added it in case you’re interested:

• The Entrepreneur Revolution by Daniel Priestly.

In this episode we sat down and spoke to a truly remarkable women who goes by the name of Hayley Field aka The Food Ninja

If you don’t know who she is, then I very highly recommend you get to know who she is and what she’s about as she’s on a path to become the go to nutritionist for busy professionals and business owners.

Hello everyone, so this episode is taken from an interview with Steven Haggerty. In which he set himself a challenge to interview one founder every single day of this year. Which recently he interviewed out very own host, Keir Wotherspoon, the founder of LIFT Fitness Evolution.. 

So if you're interested in learning more about LIFT and more about Keir then this is an amazing interview to listen to.

In this somewhat freestyle episode, Keir and Aaron talk loosely about habits and share their thoughts on a few different things ranging from eating oysters for breakfast to finding inspiration in a kids book, which actually leads us to explain the title.

So the title of this episode is the name of the book we talk about in the episode today, one of which we both think is amazing and that it has a great message behind. So much so, we dedicated the episode name to it. Also is you have small kids yourself, you might want to give this book a go.

Book Name: The Lion Inside Rachel Bright.

But without further ado, We hope you enjoy.

Also we mention an online 6 week challenge that we are running, so if you like the sound of that or want more details here is the link to that page.

In this episode Keir and Aaron sit down with Claire Scott, who is someone who has trained with Keir for around 8 years and currently train at LIFT. 

We asked her a couple of questions, then we rabbit holed and chatted to produce you not only a podcast episode with some of the views from someone who has tried a whole host of fad diets and training methods. But also we wanted to provide you with somewhat of a different dynamic. We want you to understand that the things we talk about on the podcast can be applied to your lives and will make a difference if you let it.

So without further ado, We hope you enjoy.
