Welcome to another episode of the Happy Apple! I recently connected with a like minded personal trainer who operates near where I live who agreed to an interview on this episode of the Happy Apple. Matthew Sullivan is a highly experienced and professional personal trainer,  operating from Drive Fitness who holds a Bachelor of Exercise & Sports Science as well as a number of other qualifications.  During this exercise we cover: -Advice for anyone wanting to begin a journey towards heath and fitness. -Common pitfalls when starting a journey towards better health and fitness. -Why professional guidance is worth investing in as you begin (or continue) on the path towards better health and fitness. -Why nutrition and movement go hand in hand. -Some of the lesser known benefits of moving more and eating well.  If you have any questions specifically for Matt, he can be reached at [email protected]. Thank you Matt for joining me and I hope everyone enjoys the valuable episode, I really enjoyed recording it.  P.S. we mentioned some research in the podcast and here are the links to those articles: The influence of 15-week exercise training on dietary patterns among young adults https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30659257/ The Impact of Physical Activity on Food Reward: Review and Conceptual Synthesis of Evidence from Observational, Acute, and Chronic Exercise Training Studieshttps://www.researchgate.net/publication/340670592_The_Impact_of_Physical_Activity_on_Food_Reward_Review_and_Conceptual_Synthesis_of_Evidence_from_Observational_Acute_and_Chronic_Exercise_Training_Studies Exercise Training Reduces Reward for High-Fat Food in Adults with Overweight/Obesityhttps://journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/fulltext/2020/04000/exercise_training_reduces_reward_for_high_fat_food.16.aspx
