Every January it seems to be the same story: New Year, New You. But following the comedown from merriments of festive season and the dreaded return to work, it can be quite the challenge to stick to healthy New Year Resolutions. So what needs to be done to make resolutions a reality? Find out in our latest latest blog posts.

While we all know that it is beneficial to get a good workout going to the gym on a regular basis, did you know about the benefits aerobics can add to your gym time? While working out at the gym can build overall body strength, aerobic exercises complement that by giving you a lot more.

We currently find ourselves bombarded by “advice” from various sources on the type of diet we should be following. This advice can be at times overwhelming and more often than not simply confusing to navigate.

Let us take a gentle stroll through some of the more popular diets currently doing the rounds and see if we can make some sense of all this.

We will then look at some basic rules that will hopefully help you navigate this minefield.

If you want to lose weight, the simple act of going to the gym for a workout is not sufficient. In order to achieve your goal and maintain a strong body, a nutritional plan must also be prioritised. This means consuming food with adequate nutrition throughout the day.  These are our top 15 good sources of protein you should consider adding to your diet for quick weight loss.

If you think that going to the gym is all that it takes to lose weight or to bulk up then you are wrong. Muscle fibres can break down when exercising which is the opposite of your goal which is to build muscle and strength. Working out should be fun and bring you positive health benefits, not end in muscle tears or stress fractures. This can be prevented by getting adequate nutrition throughout the day. Working out regularly requires your nutrition plan to provide the fuel you need for both exercise and recovery.

Protein drinks are known to aid fitness enthusiasts in their workouts and help people who want to lose weight. Here we have listed the basic facts you need to know about the two most popular protein drinks, protein smoothie and protein water.

Protein has been scientifically proven as one of the key factors in weight loss. Protein works to stabilise blood sugar levels, supports muscles and bones and helps absorption of important nutrients.

We have listed other functions of protein that contribute to reducing weight and having a fit and healthy body.

Most of us are wondering if results of our training sessions can be achieved faster if we consume protein drinks at a specific time. Studies have debunked plenty of bodybuilding rumours about the period of consuming protein, whether drinking it before or after a workout, as you can do both and still see favourable results. Whether you're having a post-workout or a pre-workout protein supplementation, we state the benefits it could give to improve training outcomes.

In our latest blog post we discuss the benefits of collagen vs whey.  Most protein drinks have been historically whey based, however there is a growing trend of collagen based protein drinks starting to take hold in the UK.   Should you choose collagen over whey?  

One of the latest high protein supplements available in the market is Protein Water. This is a new variation of the protein supplements that we know such as protein powders and ready to drink milk based shakes. In this article, we have compiled information that may be beneficial for you if you want to start drinking Protein Water.
