Reflecting on his own experiences, he pointed out the importance of reassessing goals over time, avoiding self-imposed limits, and continuously seeking personal growth. The conversation flowed into fitness, where Peter stressed the significance of strategic workouts, moving away from heavy lifting, and adopting high-intensity training. He opened up about his routine, mixing strength and cardio, while acknowledging the mental health benefits of pushing himself physically.

 

Diving into coaching strategies, Peter suggested focusing on exercises with a lower risk of injury for virtual clients, incorporating cables and emphasizing good form. He also touched upon his newfound appreciation for meal prep, urging people to simplify their diets by outsourcing nutrition through reliable meal delivery services. The discussion expanded to the psychological aspects of workouts, emphasizing the need to keep oneself busy in the gym to avoid negative thoughts and potential quitting triggers.
