Recovery is a key component to your exercise programme. Learning to train smart at the right intensity can help you hit the right volume of training for your periodisation.

Attached is a guide you can use to check your recovery in preparation for your next training session. Resting pulse can also help determine if you have recovered sufficiently from your previous practice / training session.

Train smart, not sore 👊.

Always worth another look. Get to know your resting pulse and blood pressure 👍.

Back in November 2011 I was at a local Asda store offering exercise and nutrition advice. I had taken my blood pressure monitor for anyone who wanted a check. I recall vividly a gentleman asking for his blood pressure to be checked. The reading was way above hypertension 3 and so I did another check. The reading remained excessively high and I asked the pharmacist in store to do a test also. We managed to get the gentleman into the cardiology unit and medical intervention was required. The gentleman had no history of high blood pressure and was not on any medication. A couple of days later I received a message from his family saying they thought the random blood pressure check saved his life. Medical intervention isn’t always needed and in fact you can make a positive change with exercise and nutrition. I urge you to get to know your blood pressure and keep a check on this. This is a massive factor in metabolic health and is relatively easy to track. Trust me I’m not a doctor 👨‍⚕️ but if you need any help with your exercise and nutrition goals please get in touch! Much love Mark ❤️🙏

Gym based and home training programmes with nutrition plans available.

Your programme will be tailored to your needs. For example if you have diabetes type 2 and / or are obese, your programme may differ from a person who has a normal HbA1c and is lean with a higher muscle mass to fat mass ratio.

I’ll educate you as to what calories and macronutrients mean to you and your goals (and why counting calories isn’t always necessary).

Face to face or remote consultations available before you get started.
