COVID-19 Changed My Relationship With Running For the Better
Everyone in the running community has had their lives affected in some shape or form. Some people have had their Olympic dreams put on hold, others have had the opportunity of completing their first organised marathon stripped from them. Myself included. Others, however, have discovered running as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. The numbers suggest that there’s more of us running recreationally than ever before (please see below for the report). You wouldn’t expect any positives to come from a global pandemic, but I have realised over the past 5 months that this path we have all been forced onto has shone a new light on running and the impact it has on our lives: for the better.

How to start a workout from home?
In a time where everyone is doing everything at a slightly slower pace, there has to be something that keeps your zeal in yourself.

10 Muscle Building Q&As
As a personal trainer whose own goal was to build muscle and gain a bit of size, it seemed pretty straight forward on how I needed to do so. However the first time I was approached by a client who wanted to do the same, I had to stop for a moment and remember that it's not as straight forward for people who are either new to fitness or have recently changed their goal. This is a common thing for trainers to experience as it's our profession to know these things. Here are some of the questions I've been asked about gaining muscle.

3 Types of Exercise and Their Associated Goals
As a personal trainer the first question I ask my clients is "What is your goal?" This often leads to an ambiguous answer like "I want to be in shape." or "I want to be fit." These are great answers and generally what many of us would respond with but there is one little problem with, they don't niche down on what your specific goal is.

How to Structure a Beginner Muscle Building Program
Long before I became a personal trainer I was and still am someone who has struggled to build muscle. I understand the work that's needed to be put in, as well as the intimidation that can come over you when you walk into a gym feeling surrounded by individuals the size of mountains. Here's the thing about building muscle, anyone can do it with the right guidance and consistency, so stop comparing yourself to them, chances are they have been at it for 3 to 4 years, but don't let that put you off as results will come a lot sooner than you think. There are several things to look at when trying to build muscle.

How to Set Attainable Fitness Goals and Actually Reach Them. Top Story - August 2020. Created with: Magic Fitness.
With most fitness centers closed (at least in LA) or only partially open with smaller classes, one of the most significant conversations I've been having with people is how to stay on track and motivated during these times. I'm happy to report that you can still set fitness goals and actually reach them all from the comfort of your living room. There are some serious perks to home workouts like the fact that you can do it in your underwear if that makes you happy or how convenient and easy it is to fit into your schedule without worrying about a commute or traffic. I don't think it gets much better than that!! There's no need to compromise the quality of your workout or have the mindset that you can't hit your goals just because you're working out at home. So you ask how do we do it? Stay tuned because I'm going to share an incredible app that I recently found out about + a few other tips and tricks that will help you stay successful on your journey!
