Today, Lou breaks down the crucial concept of 'input' versus 'output' in the realm of health and fitness. Lou emphasizes the importance of prioritizing nutrition, sleep, strength training, and cardio over supplements and extra gadgets. Offering practical advice, Lou encourages listeners to improve their "bad days" rather than obsessing over minor enhancements to their "good days", as she guides them to achieve their goals. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Prioritize nutrition, sleep, strength training, and cardio before delving into supplements and extra activities.

• Make bad days less bad by staying consistent with your goals and routines.

• Tailor your nutrition to your specific goal, whether it's fat loss, muscle building, or body recomposition.

• Incorporate both into your routine for overall health and fitness benefits.

• Pay attention to your daily activity levels and ensure you're getting enough quality sleep to support your goals.

BEST MOMENTS

"Focus on improving your bad days instead of trying to improve your good days by 1%."

"I just want you to really realise that the main focus here is nutrition and sleep."

"I think it all comes down to how much time you actually have."

HOST BIO

Lou's personal journey with body confidence and food struggles began at the age of 15, where overeating and guilt around food consumed her. But everything changed during the lockdown in March 2020. Determined to regain control, Lou immersed herself in research, found joy in working out in her garden, and started tracking her nutrition and steps. Surprisingly, she lost a stone in less than three months and discovered a newfound love for fitness.

Fueling her passion, Lou pursued personal training qualifications and launched her Instagram page in September 2020. After months of building a solid foundation, branding, and gaining relevant expertise, she started helping others achieve what once felt impossible—losing fat, feeling empowered, and loving the journey without restrictions. With numerous success stories, digital products, and a thriving membership program called Train with Lou, Lou now coaches, teaches, and learns about food, exercise, and mindset.
