The Uplift Podcast

Are you a runner (somewhat that runs!) who is looking to improve strength, gain muscle, improve speed and power and reduce the risk of injury? Then you absolutely must be including some strength training! Have a listen for the 3 exercises we think you should include! @upliftwandsworth @jazlifts

At the gym @upliftwandsworth, we recently ran a 21-day nutrition and lifestyle challenge, focusing on healthier habits to reach our goals, have more energy and improve our health. Listen to find out what we did and how you can implement this into your own life!

Nothing spurs motivation like new gym gear or a pair of new shoes! If you're looking to invest in gym shoes, there are certain things you'll want to look out for, have a listen as to why! I recommended: -Nike Metcons -Reebok Nanos @upliftwandsworth - chat to us! :) @jazlifts

Jaz and Scotty here for the first episode of 2023! Talking all things recovery / rest times. Why do we sometimes rest 30 seconds? Other times 2-3 minutes? How long is ideal for strength? Improving fitness? Why might we need more as we get fitter and stronger? All this and more! Ps. This was recorded pre-Christmas! As always, chat to us on @upliftwandsworth :) Your thoughts and feedback are welcomed! Follow us: @jazlifts @scottyconnersfitness

Discussing my response to a client's recent question: when should I add more workouts into my week if fat loss is my goal? Chat to us! @upliftwandsworth @jazlifts

If you know us or train with us, you'll know we are huge fans of Strength Training. Should we think about strength training as a skill in the same way as we might with flexibility, musical instruments or sport? I referred to: "Strength is a Skill" - Pavel Tsatsouline @upliftwandsworth @jazlifts

Should you get a PT? Join a big gym? Start home workouts? Scotty & Jaz break down some of the available options to help you make the best decision for YOU if you're starting your fitness journey. And of course, if you're based in South West London, head to upliftlondon.co.uk ...

Coaches Anna and Jaz sit down today to look back on (and laugh about!) diets we've tried in the past (some healthy, most not) and reflect on how our gym training has evolved over the years! We had a laugh recording this one! Hope you enjoy it :) @upliftwandsworth *Disclaimer: we are not endorsing any of these diets or training routines

Jaz and Scotty discuss 5 common strength training myths ... does muscle burn more calories at rest? Is lifting just for those who want to pack on size? Does having visible abs = fITneSs? How often do you need to work out to make an effective change, really? And are there any age limits on strength training?! Catch us on @upliftwandsworth :)
