Something that held me back for a long time was just my excuses. Its SO easy to convince yourself that you're doing the right things, when in reality, you're not doing anything. This one simple question that I share in this episode changed EVERYTHING for me... Make sure you listen to hear what it is. I hope it helps you!

As we all know, often too much of a good thing can turn bad. Lately, I've noticed this with a lot of the information out there on Instagram. There's so much of it and it's typically good information but that doesn't mean it's good for YOU and YOUR GOALS. My goal with this episode is to get you to put everything into context before you take what people say as common law. If your issue is putting on muscle and gaining weight... all the posts on how to cut calories probably aren't great information for you. Doesn't mean they aren't useful. Just not really for YOU! And that's what I want more people to stop and think about. Think, "where am I at in my journey?", "what is my goal?", and "how does this piece of information help me get there?" Hope this helps!

Are you wanting to learn how to balance your career and staying in shape? This episode is for you! Are you wanting to learn about building a career in fitness? This episode is for you! This weeks guest, Sam Pogue, knows a lot about both. Sam is the Director of Strategic Partnerships at Onnit and also a Sr Coach at the Onnit Academy. I've been to Texas to see Onnit and what Sam does and let's be real... HE'S GOT ONE OF THE DOPEST JOBS AND WORKS AT ONE OF THE DOPEST COMPANIES! But the best part about this episode is you hear how he freakin earned that role and the journey it took to get there. You also hear the other side of the fitness industry that not many people talk about. Like "if you spend all this time training other people and flying around doing it, how do you find the time to do it yourself?" Whether you're in fitness or not, if you work a demanding job, you'll appreciate this one! IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: -Sam's 9 year journey to getting where he's at -Some of Sam's easy wins for traveling and staying in shape -How to have a more open mind when it comes to fitness -Why you should also be focusing on recovery work in your training More from Sam: @spogue86 @thefitnessbreakroom

It's that time... After the 4th of July always seems to be where we either give up on our goals completely or we push past and keep progressing. In this episode I wanted to give you a couple tips on how to NOT lose all your progress this summer. I promise that you can enjoy your life while also sticking to your goals!

HOOOOOLLLLYYYYYY CRAP, my friends. This might just be the most informative episode to date! Our guest this week, Laurie King, is one of the most knowledgeable Nutrition Coaches out there and she drops all the knowledge in this one! Seriously, listening back to this brought me back to my college note-taking days. I seriously could not stop writing. Like, what do you want to learn about nutrition? What are you confused about?

You're all capable of being in shape. You're capable of living the happy, healthy life you deserve. Do you believe you can though? That's truly the only thing holding you back. I mean come on, you know all the diets out there. You know how to be active. All the information is out there! A lot of us simply don't believe we can put it all together and make it happen. And it comes down to having confidence. My whole goal with this podcast was to help you build that confidence in yourself and this episode in particular includes a few ways that have specifically helped me. Because believe it or not, I didn't always believe in myself. It took some dedicated effort but I got better. So will you! Hope this helps!

We all know what to do when we get injured, right? Go see a Physical Therapist and start the rehab process. What if there was a way to severely lower the risk of getting injured so we didn't even have to worry about all that rehab stuff? Introducing.... THE PREHAB GUYS! This weeks guest, Arash Maghsoodi, one of three Doctors of Physical Therapy that started the Prehab Guys back in 2016. Their goal was simply to provide people with preventative movements that they could do to keep their bodies healthy. We talk a lot about eating right and working out but in this modern lifestyle our bodies are constantly put in positions that don't serve us long term. It's causing tons of injuries for people later on in life. This episode is all about preventing that! IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: -The importance of prehab and movement -How to counteract the negatives of the desk life -The prehab movements we should all be doing -The most common injuries and how to go about preventing them More from The Prehab Guys: www.theprehabguys.com @theprehabguys

So many of us are focused on that "goal body weight" or the "end" of their diet. In reality, this health stuff doesn't have an end goal. The only end goal you should be focused on is figuring out how to enjoy the journey. You do that and you've won. Think about it, if you lose all this weight on some super restrictive diet, what are you going to do when you reach your goal? You gonna live the rest of your life like that? No way. Why not figure out what's sustainable? Hopefully this episode can help you change your mindset with that!

This weeks guest is probably better known as @paleomg! Juli is a long time blogger that has built an amazing audience around her amazing paleo recipes, fashion, and fitness. Also, she just has an amazing personality, so you'll obviously love hearing a conversation with her! What I love most about Juli is that she's found an awesome balance with her health. She is a HUGE paleo and crossfit fan but realizes that no one needs to live in one box. So, she's always open to other things that are going to help her live a happy, healthier life. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: -Getting out of the obsessive mindset with health -The true benefits of a cleaner diet -Her top paleo recipes that even I could make -How to find a love for fitness More from Julia: www.paleomg.com

Doesn't it seem like there's a little TOO much information out there when it comes to your health? Sheesh man, surf the web for an hour and it will turn you into a carb hating, vegan, who also hates vegetables. And then we just don't eat. There's too much stuff out there! So, today I wanted to break down the 5 things you should really care about when it comes to your nutrition. Really concentrate on these things and block every thing else out. I promise you will be ok! Actually, better than ok. You'll be where you WANT to be. Hope this helps!

If you're into reading fitness blogs at all then you know the living legend, Tony Gentilcore. I was so pumped to have Tony on because I've been reading his stuff for YEARS now! Let me tell you, hes just as cool to talk to. I'm confident that you will walk away from this episode with an enormous amount of fitness knowledge. Whether you're a beginner or not, you'll enjoy this one! IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: -The most important elements of a training program -How to get results with limited equipment -The best ways to prevent injury -Why it's important to have other interests outside of fitness More from Tony: www.tonygentilcore.com

Something that I think is largely overlooked in the health and fitness space is learning to accept yourself and knowing that you're good enough. I see so many people in this space taking steroids and doing stupid stuff... all for what? To get some bigger muscles? I'm sure anyone whose done anything dumb like that will tell you now, they wish they would've just learned to accept themselves in the moment and kept working. And this isn't to say that you cant change where you're at. I think people get it confused sometimes, like they should settle for being overweight. Thats not what this is. It's about putting in the work and being ok with the results. In this episode I wanted to give you a few pieces of advice on how to learn to accept yourself! I hope it helps because you ARE enough!

Have you ever felt like this whole fitness thing is kind of out of reach? Like you could NEVER live like one of those shredded bodybuilders out there? Well there's good news... YOU DON'T HAVE TO! This week's guest, Sarah Duff, and I were on the same page with this and it's probably why we talked so long lol. Plus she's just freakin hilarious. Really though, Sarah made some incredible points about how all we are used to seeing when we think "fitness" is the ripped fitness models. No one is really out there showing anyone the middle-ground happy place! That's where Sarah and I come in. Because in all honesty, no one NEEDS to be shredded like those fitness models. Our bodies weren't even made for that. So, if you've ever wondered how to feel and look better without all that crazy stuff, this episode is for you!
