Reverse Fitness by Alana

How well do you know the menstrual cycle?

No, not just when you have your period, but the cycle as a whole?

Men, are you aware of what goes on with women through their cycle? If you are a coach especially, you should be informed of the basics at least.

I hope this episode helps bring more awareness and if nothing else, makes you start tracking your cycle and noticing trends over time.

Use it to your advantage!

A conversation around alcohol for the week that's in it.

As Irish we are known to be good craic and to love a good drink. Can we do one without the other?

Have you been in a situation where you decide not to drink but get all the abuse from your peers for it?

How does alcohol make us feel during and after? Do we do things we regret when drinking that maybe we wouldn't do when not drinking?

What does 1 unit of alcohol even look like?

How many units are recommended per session and per week?

How many calories are in our favourite drinks?

I touch on all of the above in an open conversation surrounding alcohol.

Please keep in mind I am not for or against it in this episode - I, myself drink alcohol. I just find it interesting as I get older, how we use alcohol in certain scenarios and how we deal with the after effects of it.

Hope you enjoy!

All things fitness watches, why we wear them, how accurate they are, and why we need to avoid becoming a slave to them!

Oh, and stop wearing your fitness watches on nights out!

A few of the most common things I find my clients struggle with that I feel others will be able to resonate with.

Why do we fall off track?

Why do we give up?

What is it that we need to do to stay committed to our goal?

Hope it helps!
