Watch your form

“If you’re a newbie to strength training or exercising you might not have that connection between mind and body to know that you’re doing something wrong. Even if you’re experienced, certain moves might be new to you or you can just sometimes get things wrong. I recommend filming yourself so you’re able to visually see what you’re doing and check if it looks different to your trainer.

“The number one thing for me is if you’re doing live workouts or if you’re getting inspiration from Instagram, please do follow someone that gives coaching cues, and that is a qualified PT.”

Rest and recover

“The key pillars of recovery aren’t the sexy stuff. It’s getting a good night’s sleep every night, because we know that sleep is intrinsically and deeply connected to how we recover. Nutrition is really important as well: making sure that you’re eating enough carbohydrates, making sure that you’re having good sources of protein and eating enough to fuel the training that you’re doing. And hydration is another key one, which I think is easy to forget about when you’re at home.

“And remember to take rest days. Just because we’re training from home it doesn’t mean that you don’t deserve rest. Be mindful about the fact that those are equally important as they would be if you were training at the gym.”
