When it comes to nutrition, no macronutrient is as important (or as misunderstood) as protein. It’s the one thing you can’t afford to ignore if your goal is strength, performance, or simply living with more energy.
It’s one of the most common questions in fitness: Should I do more cardio or more weights?
If your goal is simply to “get fit for summer,” you could probably do either. But if your goal is longevity (to live longer, healthier, and with fewer limitations) the truth is clear: you need both strength training and cardiovascular training.
At SLM, this is exactly why our programs are built around a simple framework: LIFT + SWEAT. Strength and conditioning, side by side, so no stone is left unturned.
At some point, we were all told the same thing: if you want to build muscle, you need to squat, deadlift, and lift heavy weights. But here’s the truth: muscle doesn’t care what you lift—it only cares how close to failure you train.
With many SLM'ers jetting off to the northern hemisphere this winter, we thought we’d share some practical tips for staying active on holiday — especially when you find yourself on a sun-drenched Greek island with no gym in sight.
