The fitness industry and, more specifically, the weight loss part of it, tends to be a soulless place, where it is more about bullying yourself into dieting and exercising. This approach is very effective for some people, and it works, but a significant portion of us feel completely disconnected from it. Luckily, there are ways of losing weight without forcing ourselves into strict diets and exhausting workouts, a compassionate and soulful approach - and our guest, Adam Walsh, will tell us all about it. 

Adan Walsh is a fitness coach, educator, and specialist in helping busy entrepreneurs get fit and lose weight without draining their time and energy. After his brother passed, Adam knew that although hitting the gym wouldn't solve his problems, being healthy and feeling better about himself would definitely help him navigate that heavy loss. In his community, The Lean Professionals, Adam supports those struggling with weight loss by helping them understand the fundamentals of nutrition & training. He creates simple routines to help his coachees enjoy the journey and get long-lasting results. 

In this episode, Adam shared his unique approach to fitness and weight loss. He shared his experiences while trying to get in shape and understanding that forcing himself to work out wasn't practical. He explained the importance of avoiding bullying ourselves into hitting the gym, how an informed approach to wellness, and how our own body and mind work grants better and long-lasting results. We also talk about the relationship between health and weight loss, weight loss and emotions, three practical ways to measure our progress in weight loss without complicated equipment, and much more.
