You need a strategy to ensure you are working out! Small cameo from my very own spawn, Ty!

Working out once is easy. The challenge is always consistency, how do we set ourselves up to keep working out! In this episode, I give you some some considerations because that's what I do.

Working to improve the function of your cardiovascular system is smart for everyone. If you want to lose weight, if you want to build muscle, if you want to live a long time. I don't blame you for skipping out on it, but let's find something you enjoy.

Lifting heavy things and putting them down is hard. It also seems unproductive, you're not building anything, so why do it? For your health, duh! How does it help your health? That's the episode

I don't remember the episode number. But hey it's a new episode! Health is a lifestyle, but how long do you diet? 6-12 weeks... How long should a workout program last? 4-7 weeks... Well that's it, I gave it all away

What I want is different from what you may want. I just want to look good and feel good, but I want to stay pretty muscular. You may not want that and that is perfectly fine! We don't need to have the same things to work together towards our fitness goals. I can learn from leaner people who practice calisthenics, from bulkier powerlifters, and anyone in between. When it comes to losing weight, knowledge of what you're doing and why is important. How many calories should you be eating, and why? How can you calculate that? How important is protein, and do I need protein shakes?(no you don't need it) If you don't workout will you stay overweight?(you can lose weight simply by tracking your calories and controlling your portions) Will you be miserable when start eating less?(maybe) It's one thing when someone tells you to eat less, but do they know what it's like? It's hard to give good advice when you haven't experienced those same problems. Now I have gained body fat for a purpose, to lose it and be able to talk about it! Listen to the episode

I just wanted to make sure I was clear on some things. After that words just kept spilling out

In school we are encouraged to pick up extracurricular activities in order to become "well rounded" and with good reason. Learning different subjects has been shown to help with problem solving. Did you know Einstein played the violin when he was trying to solve a mathematical equation? The same principle applies to fitness.

I've talked about this before but it needs to be talked about again. You gotta make time to workout! Make time to eat right! Make time to take care of yourself! Also this episode is a short one, enjoy

Firstly, I want to put it out there that my son is in the car with me while I'm driving. So I'm exactly ignoring him, but I can't give him attention because he's in the backseat and I'm driving. Second, I always rant, but I was in my feelings so there's an extra ranty feeling to this one. Lastly, you can't help others when you haven't helped yourself, so don't give advice that you yourself aren't following.

Having difficulty maintaining your weight? You're not alone! Listen up as I lay it down for you, tracking calories, making adjustments, being consistent!
