If you've gained weight during lockdown you are not alone.

Between working from home and so many other activities being restricted or cancelled, the vast majority of people are expending far less energy than they did before. Over a few days or a week it doesn't make much of a difference.

But over a year? It does add up. So what do we do about it?

In this week's video I share some perspective and actionable tips on how to lose lockdown weight safely and effectively while also prioritizing your mental health and wellbeing.

About me: I’m a Strength Coach and Personal Trainer, and I love my job. I have degrees in Kinesiology and Exercise Physiology, and have been helping people get stronger and move better fulltime since 2009. Through working with all kinds of different people ranging from elite basketball athletes to active seniors, I’ve learned that the “secret” to effective training is to take a longterm approach. The day you stop training is the day you stop improving, so training programs must be structured in a way that keeps our joints healthy and mind engaged while we build a strong and powerful body. Through sharing information and training tips here, I hope to help more people train for the rest of their lives.
