PROFILE
Mark believes in a holistic approach to health and fitness. He aims to convert ‘common sense’ to ‘common practice’ by educating his clients and encouraging them to approach their well being from the ‘inside out’ as opposed to the ‘outside in.’ Mark believes it isn’t just about what you are doing at the gym; but about considering your lifestyle as a whole (e.g. sleep patterns, stress levels, thought patterns) in addition to diet and exercise that determines how you look and feel.
TIP FOR FITNESS
Keep your training constantly varied, intensity high and duration low. Keep effort levels at 8 out of 10. Rest is when you get your gains and take time off when unwell. Get outside as much as you can. Enjoy it. Contact me.
TIP FOR NUTRITION
Base your diet on vegetables (especially greens), lean meats and fish, nuts, seeds, little starch and no sugar. Stick to the outside aisles of the supermarket. Avoid anything with long lists of ingredients that you’ve never heard of. Eat when you are hungry. Stop when you are full. Eat slowly and consciously. Enjoy every mouthful. Stay hydrated.
