Training vs Testing: Knowing the Difference
Understand the difference between training and testing, why both matter, when to push to your limit and why progress doesn’t require emptying the tank every day.

I have been talking a lot about the goal of the challenge been establishing good habits before the Christmas Crazy-season and really just gettting back on track post winter 'lock-down'...but talking to people throughout the weigh-ins, well - the reality is people are doing the challenge because they want to lose weight. Which is cool of course - but because so many people are targeting that outcome I thought I would put together this quick little blog post covering off some key 'actions' to take if weight loss is your goal!

This Sunday, East Perth plays in our second consecutive WAFL Grand Final. Now, I know some of you already know that I work with the footy club — but a lot of people probably don’t. Most days, I leave the gym in the afternoon and head straight to training, team meetings, or match reviews. In fact, coaching at this level is a solid 20-hour per week commitment — and that’s on top of running the gym.

We’ve all been there. You kick off the week with the best of intentions. You’ve trained hard, maybe even twice on Monday. You start eating ‘clean’ again — eggs for breakfast, chicken and salad for lunch, steak and veg for dinner. Day one? Nailed it. Day two? Still good. Day three? Uh oh. The fridge is a bit light. Dinner leftovers were meant to be lunch… but someone else in the house beat you to them. So now it’s 12:15, you’re starving, and the “leftovers plan” has fallen through.
