I'm joined by Luke Callis previously a strength & conditioning coach with Sheffield United football club, now an academic in the sports Science division of the University of Northampton

Luke's research interests are around injury prevention and long-term athletic development

We discuss the question of whether strength training can improve our metabolic health.  Metabolic health being related to blood pressure, blood sugar, BMI, blood triglycerides and cholesterol.

We discuss a wide variety of ideas including:

What is strength training?
Does it matter which type you do for metabolic health?
The different types of strength training
The concept of 'Overload'
Why goalsetting matters
The power of routine
Cardio vs strength training for metabolic health
Why 'beasting' doesn't work
Why focusing on your weight isn't smart

And much, much more...
