Episode 256-Two inconvenient truths about training.

Some things we just don’t want to acknowledge.

Episode 255- Why train?

In this episode, as usual I refer to it as the wrong episode number, but that’s to be expected by now. More importantly, we answer the commonly asked question “Why should I train or lift weights if I don’t have any specific goals that I want to accomplish?” Honestly most people don’t have aspirations to be competitive or to accomplish anything specific with their workouts. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t training for something. They aren’t just training to be a better worker- outer. This is about improving your quality of life and making every aspect of it better. That’s what this is about.

Episode 254- Defining success.

How we define success is a very important aspect of how we achieve it. How do we know when we are succeeding?

Episode 253-“Life is short, have a s’more.”

Every year I put up a meme that starts with this. The second line of the meme is “Unless it interferes with your goals then don’t have a s’more.” There is a lot of meaning behind this simple meme and although it’s meant to be humorous, there is a real message behind it too.

Episode 252- "Listen to your body." Good advice? Sometimes but not always.

Episode 251- Let's talk nutrition.

The number one mistake that almost everyone makes when it comes to managing their nutrition and how to correct it.

Episode 250- What are we apologizing for?

Every day lately it seems that more and more people are apologizing for having a hard time. We are apologizing for struggling with all that’s going on in the world right now. We are struggling with asking for help. We are struggling with admitting that we need help. Let’s discuss.

Episode 249- Quarantine survival plan

Less living in fear, more living in control.

Episode 248- Are you truly giving it your all?

So many times we say we are giving it 100% but are we really? I can look back and see many times in my life where I was not giving it my all. Where I was half-assing my way through because I could. Once I recognized that and made the decision to put 100% effort into the things that I wanted to be successful at, I saw huge changes. Let’s talk about how to ensure that you are truly giving 100% effort into what’s important to you.

Episode 247- What you don't see.

We often see successful people and assume they’ve always been “winners”. We imagine that things have always been this way for them. We usually know very little about how they got where they are or about the struggles they have faced to get there. There is usually a lot to the story that you don’t see.
