#133 - My Training & Body Composition go...

KITTY BLOMFIELD
About this episode

Now that we decided on no kids, I’m getting serious about my training again and setting some new training and body composition goals. When I first met Craig and he taught me how to lift I fell in love with powerlifting. I competed in a few comps and loved it but since then I haven't had any serious goals, I've just trained.

After much back and forth with Craig I decided to be a bodybuilder for 12 months 🤣 Craig loves his body building.

In this episode, we chat about:
➡️My current goals, training, nutrition and body composition for the next 12 months
➡️When it’s appropriate to do a calorie deficit
➡️Why calories and food have to be relative to body composition
➡️My tips and strategies for when you’re trying to lose body fat (it's been a long time since I've eaten in a calorie deficit)
➡️The importance of building muscle
➡️The length of time losing body fat can take
➡️Sustaining your current body composition
