Holly Skinner is a former competitive olympic weight-lifter and Crossfit affiliate owner. She has extensive experience both as an athlete and a coach, and is currently enrolled on the prestigious MAC Nutrition course. Holly currently provides in-person and online coaching and programming through a new venture, Platform Brighton. If there's one person I would trust for advice when it comes to training, it would be her. In this episode we talk about the most common training pitfalls for novice and experienced athletes alike. We discuss over-training, under-fuelling, trying to buy food calories with exercise, the advantages of strength training, the importance of non-exercise activity thermogenesis, fasted vs fed training, the effect of body fat on strength, periodisation, training strategies for peri-menopause and menopause, and much more. ChaptersYou will likely come away from this wishing that Holly was programming for you.
