Today's guest is Ryan Henderson.

In his younger days, Ryan struggled with drugs and alcohol. While in a halfway house, Ryan met a former competitive bodybuilder who took him under his wing.

He taught Ryan the basics of everything he needed to be successful in fitness. But more importantly, Ryan's life had a new direction. He no longer had to turn to self-destructive habits. Instead of tearing himself down, he started building himself up.

Now Ryan's taking others under his wing and building them up through lifestyle coaching and training at ryfitcoach.com.

RyFit Coach is like no other fitness company. I provide more than just workouts and nutrition to clients, I provide a sorely needed education for the understanding of how fitness works and inspire people to be the best that they learn that they can be. The most important factor of health and nutrition that people miss and thus never hit their goals is education. If you decide to surf you don’t just buy a surfboard and go out to the ocean. One needs to learn about the ocean, rip tides, reefs, and then technique and practice. But with fitness most trainers do just that. Here’s the technique, now go practice. Now you don’t need to become a PHD, but if you understand the science behind nutrition & exercise, and understand “the why” behind it and not just do things because you are told, then you will have a high likely hood to do it, and do it right, thus have success. I’m here to do just that, teach you the science and the why, then the technique and practice. Most importantly, as my clients say…….”Ryan does it with the most fun, and with the best personality to be around”

Takeaways

Everyone struggles with self doubt. Don't compare yourself to other people.

The reasons people give for wanting to get fit are seldom the real reasons. Dig deep and find the true reasons.

Weight lifting will help you lose fat.

"What gets measured, gets managed."

Take some time to count your calories and learn how much is in the food you're eating.

With challenge comes growth.
