Having a plan when it comes to your fitness goal is crucial. You need to know what you’re doing. Your diet probably contributes towards 70% of the progress you make when either trying to lose or gain weight. So we want to try and get that hammered down. 

As you're probably aware to lose weight, you need to be in a calorie deficit. Meaning that the calories you're consuming from food and drink need to be less than the calories you're burning off during daily activity and exercise. However, it is all too common for people to be eating way too little and not fuelling their bodies correctly.

Trying to lose weight, build muscle or just become healthier shouldn’t be a restrictive chore. You don’t have to be living off chicken, rice and broccoli to see results. 

When starting your fitness journey or starting work on a new fitness goal, you need to keep these training basics in mind. There are a multitude of ways to get your sweat on, from a weights session in the gym to swimming in the sea. So how do you know what method of working out best suits you?
