If I Only Had 3 Hours a Week to Get Fit, Here’s What I’d Do

Episode Summary

Only have 3 hours a week to train? Here’s exactly how I’d use that time to get stronger, fitter and leaner without making fitness your entire life.

Episode Notes

If you only had 3 hours a week to work on your fitness, what should you actually prioritise? In this episode, I break down exactly how I’d structure those 3 hours to get stronger, build muscle, improve fitness and support fat loss without overcomplicating things. I cover full-body strength training, progressive overload, cardio, daily movement, protein, calories, recovery and why you probably need less exercise than you think to make solid progress.
