S.4 Ep.7 - Bringing your Mental "A" Game with Chris Hunt of Therapycise

Today Aaron and I interviewed Christ Hunt of Therapycise. Chris is a mental performance psychologist and former Royal Marine Commando. He specialises in helping people master their own destiny and is highly regarded as a an authority on Mental Performance. It was a fascinating chat, Chris's enthusiasm and energy is infectious and we covered many subjects relating to motivation for exercise, and life in general - well worth a listen if you're struggling with this wet gloomy weather and need a boost.

Welcome to the first episode of 2025. Apologies for the delay since Ep.5. I was in Nepal climbing mountains over November and December...

In this episode, I welcome Aaron Hopkins, sucessful PT and gym owner. I interviewed him a few months ago and we had a great laugh and were very much of the same mind when discussing all things health/fitness. He will be joining me as co-host, so i'm really looking forward to recording with him.

Amongst other things, we discussed:

New Year New Me! (yawn!) Setting 2025 Health Goals: Discussing how to set realistic and achievable health goals for the new year. Fads like Dry January etc - more harm than Good?

People starting new habits : Nutrition Trends: Exploring emerging nutrition trends for 2025, such as plant-based diets, intermittent fasting, or personalised nutrition plans.

Effective Workout Routines: Highlighting new and effective workout routines or exercises for different fitness levels and goals.

Doing too much, at one time: Motivation and Accountability: Strategies for staying motivated and accountable throughout the year.

Tech and Fitness: Discussing the role of technology and apps in monitoring fitness progress and enhancing workouts. Big business, but data for data’s sake? Watches, rings, apps, HRV useful:

Over Christmas, we had a great question from a listener, we discussed this too:

"Sleep/nutrition/rest are critically important, especially when compared to our younger days. So my question for the podcast is this: Because there are now more mature people training harder than ever before, are we entering uncharted territority in terms of our awareness of training/recovery for middle -aged athletes? Sure, there have been a small number of older athletes for a long time, but I suspect there have never before been so many middle-aged, 'normal' folk who are continuing to train hard alongside their daily lives. Is the coaching/nutrition industry up to speed on this? Is it even being recognised, let alone being catered for?"
