Lift For Life with Graham and Angus

Angus & Graham discuss running and fat loss. Running is often seen as a go-to for fat loss, but it is a blunt and inefficient tool. The calories burned are modest for the time invested and are frequently offset by a sharp rise in hunger later in the day. Repeated long-distance running can promote muscle loss as the body adapts for efficiency. That slows metabolism, encouraging fat accumulation and a “skinny fat” body.Lift For Life◼️Follow Lift For Life - https://bit.ly/4nYt6yA◼️Follow Angus - https://bit.ly/3KQKDdq◼️Follow Graham - https://bit.ly/4n8nKQ3#LiftForLifePodcast #FatLoss #FitnessMyths #RunningVsWeights #BodyRecomposition

Angus and Graham discuss that weight training and strength is not essential in today’s society. Modern conveniences such as cars, escalators, desk-based employment and online shopping mean that you can allow physical decline and not suffer in the medium term. However, later in life the damage will become increasingly obvious. They then go on to talk about the joy that comes from being stronger at all stages of life.Lift For Life◼️Follow Lift For Life - https://bit.ly/4nYt6yA◼️Follow Angus - https://bit.ly/3KQKDdq◼️Follow Graham - https://bit.ly/4n8nKQ3#LiftForLifePodcast #NewYearFitness #BestShapeOfYourLife #FitnessGoals #DisciplineOverMotivation

Graham & Angus go back to basics to start the New Year. They discuss how they would start a renewed fitness and health regime in 2026. Motivation fades but discipline sustains. How would they do it ? Graham suggests going slow. Too many people accelerate from zero to full speed in January, and that strategy is doomed to fail within a short period.Lift For Life◼️Follow Lift For Life - https://bit.ly/4nYt6yA◼️Follow Angus - https://bit.ly/3KQKDdq◼️Follow Graham - https://bit.ly/4n8nKQ3#LiftForLifePodcast #NewYearFitness #BestShapeOfYourLife #FitnessGoals #DisciplineOverMotivation

Angus & Graham discuss dopamine. They describe how it works, why it makes you feel good and how to maximise your dopamine surges during exercise. They also compare it to such surges that are caused artificially by drugs. Social connection, cold water, goal setting, music and achieving any small wins can also give you dopamine surges. Angus points out that Graham’s music-inspired dopamine surges cause some interesting dance moves...Lift For Life◼️Follow Lift For Life - https://bit.ly/4nYt6yA◼️Follow Angus - https://bit.ly/3KQKDdq◼️Follow Graham - https://bit.ly/4n8nKQ3#LiftForLifePodcast #Dopamine #FitnessMotivation #Neuroscience #Mindset

Angus & Graham discuss going from zero to hero in fitness and weight training. How do you create momentum from zero? They also discuss Graham’s new hat! Training is all about steady progress built on discipline, patience, and self-belief. It starts with understanding that everyone begins somewhere, focusing on proper technique, manageable weights, and consistent training rather than quick results. As you build strength and endurance, confidence grows, and what once felt impossible becomes routine. Nutrition, rest, and recovery become as important as lifting itself, helping you sustain long-term progress. Graham describes how he has adapted his training because of his blood clot.Lift For Life◼️Follow Lift For Life - https://bit.ly/4nYt6yA◼️Follow Angus - https://bit.ly/3KQKDdq◼️Follow Graham - https://bit.ly/4n8nKQ3#LiftForLifePodcast #FitnessMotivation #BeginnerFitness #Momentum #ConsistencyOverPerfection
