In this episode of the Megan Banahan Fitness Podcast I'm joined by the wonderful, Dr. Aisling Farrell.
We discuss various aspects of fitness, health, and well-being. The conversation covers the challenges of starting a fitness journey, the importance of setting SMART goals, and the distinction between fueling for performance versus aesthetics. Dr. Farrell emphasizes the signs of under-fueling, the fundamentals of recovery, and the significance of sleep and nutrition. The episode also explores the benefits of journaling, understanding the menstrual cycle in relation to training, and recognizing burnout. Overall, the discussion provides valuable insights for anyone looking to improve their fitness and health.
