Lift For Life with Graham and Angus

Self belief is the greatest life skill that any parent can give their children. Angus & Graham discuss how they have nurtured their own confidence, the role of sport, and how they have changed outcomes in their lives as a result. Strategies such as extracting yourself from toxic environments can be key. Academic achievements can externally validate individuals, but self-belief truly only comes from successfully overcoming difficult situations. We think that some fascinating conversations could emerge from parents listening to this episode with their children - on a car journey perhaps?___🏋️Ready to stop winging it and start training with purpose, clarity and support? https://jc9cc7oe7jf.typeform.com/to/feOjPDNj-⚫ Get in touch in the comments below or head to...Instagram: Lift For Life - https://www.instagram.com/the_liftforlife_podcast/Instagram: Angus Warburton - https://www.instagram.com/angus_warburton/Instagram: Graham Ambrose - https://www.instagram.com/liftforlife.gdog/

Graham and Angus explore what happens to our energy needs as we get older. If we are not proactive, decline is obviously inevitable, from a remarkably young age, and weight gain exacerbates the physical degeneration. Fortunately, it’s simple to prevent or reverse. The role of muscle is critical. Common myths are unpacked. Nutrition and staying active will help you stay strong, manage your weight and keep doing the things you love.___🏋️Ready to stop winging it and start training with purpose, clarity and support? https://jc9cc7oe7jf.typeform.com/to/feOjPDNj-⚫ Get in touch in the comments below or head to...Instagram: Lift For Life - https://www.instagram.com/the_liftforlife_podcast/Instagram: Angus Warburton - https://www.instagram.com/angus_warburton/Instagram: Graham Ambrose - https://www.instagram.com/liftforlife.gdog/

You join a gym, train hard for a few weeks, then work, travel or life gets in the way and you feel back at square one. In this episode, Graham and Angus explore how to break that cycle by setting realistic goals, building a routine you can sustain and having a simpler plan for busy weeks. They discuss why one missed session doesn’t need to become a missed month, how the “all or nothing” mindset can undermine your progress, and why learning to keep going imperfectly is the key to lasting change.___🏋️Ready to stop winging it and start training with purpose, clarity and support? https://jc9cc7oe7jf.typeform.com/to/feOjPDNj-⚫ Get in touch in the comments below or head to...Instagram: Lift For Life - https://www.instagram.com/the_liftforlife_podcast/Instagram: Angus Warburton - https://www.instagram.com/angus_warburton/Instagram: Graham Ambrose - https://www.instagram.com/liftforlife.gdog/

Graham explains how bad habits get stronger with repetition. Angus’ reaction means that this episode becomes quite comical. The basal ganglia help familiar behaviours become automatic, so the more often you respond to stress by scrolling, avoiding or reaching for a drink, the easier that response becomes your default. To “reprogram” the pattern, recognise the trigger and practise a different response. Put the phone down. Go for a walk. Lift weights. You’re teaching your brain a new routine, and that takes repetition. Make the action small enough to repeat, especially on the hard days.___🏋️Ready to stop winging it and start training with purpose, clarity and support? https://jc9cc7oe7jf.typeform.com/to/feOjPDNj-⚫ Get in touch in the comments below or head to...Instagram: Lift For Life - https://www.instagram.com/the_liftforlife_podcast/Instagram: Angus Warburton - https://www.instagram.com/angus_warburton/Instagram: Graham Ambrose - https://www.instagram.com/liftforlife.gdog/

Run clubs are booming, and it’s not really about the running. You get fitter, spend time outdoors, meet new people and have the motivation of a community around you.And you don’t need to be a serious runner. Fitness is easier when it’s social. In this episode, Angus and Graham discuss whether they are the latest dating apps… and the clubs that Angus has recently joined.___🏋️Ready to stop winging it and start training with purpose, clarity and support? https://jc9cc7oe7jf.typeform.com/to/feOjPDNj-⚫ Get in touch in the comments below or head to...Instagram: Lift For Life - https://www.instagram.com/the_liftforlife_podcast/Instagram: Angus Warburton - https://www.instagram.com/angus_warburton/Instagram: Graham Ambrose - https://www.instagram.com/liftforlife.gdog/
