How can I improve my diet?

Most people under-eat protein, which is vital for maintaining and improving our body composition. The government guidelines for daily protein consumption are very low compared to current exercise research regarding protein requirements.
One of the first steps is to increase the amount of protein you consume, which will help you feel full and less likely to eat quick release carbohydrates which can easily contribute to an access of daily calories.

Do I need to be doing extra cardio – running etc?

You only need to be running if you want to become a better runner. You don’t have to add additional ‘cardio’ as this is already built into a proper slow motion high effort workout.
