Welcome to another episode of the In-situ Collective podcast! Today, we had the pleasure of hosting a yet another awesome human on the podcast. A long time listener, first time guest, Nathan.

Eager to get back into the gym, Nathan works a full-time job and had some excellent questions about training and nutrition that many of our listeners can relate to. We dive into nutrition strategies around training, especially for those needing a boost of energy after a long day at work. We also discuss whether a split program or a full-body program is more beneficial for someone with Nathan's schedule and muscle-building goals. Most importantly, we emphasize the importance of consistency—showing up and doing something is always better than doing nothing.

Tune in for practical tips and motivation to help you stay on track with your fitness goals, no matter how busy life gets.

Welcome to another episode of the In-situ health and fitness podcast! In this episode, we delve into the concept of self-comparison. We explore how our interactions with others shape our self-perception and behaviour, driven by biological, developmental, and social psychology explanations. By examining downward, upward, and lateral comparisons, we uncover how these dynamics influence our self-esteem and motivation. We also address the impact of social media on our fitness goals and offer practical strategies for combating negative self-comparisons.

Join us as we discuss how to build a positive self-image, leverage community support, and overcome the fear of judgment in public fitness spaces. This episode is packed with insights and tips to help you measure success through personal progress rather than social comparison.
