Many of us are guilty of skipping breakfast because we’d prefer an extra ten minutes in bed, right? But doing this regularly whilst trying to maintain a healthy diet and training regime can be damaging to your progress!
Have you ever sat and wondered how the hell some people seem to be able to just work out? Like, how can they always be so motivated? Surely they must be freaks of nature?
Its necessary to consider where you’re at now in terms of health and fitness, and be honest with yourself. That way you can set achievable targets for the year.
I’m sure you’ve heard before that ‘abs are made in the kitchen, not in the gym’ which to some extent is true. It’s said that our body composition is made up from 30% exercise and 70% diet.
