This episode is all about the concept of 'deloading,' which is a period of training where you reduce the intensity of your workouts to prevent over-training syndrome.

Over-training syndrome occurs when your body cannot keep up with the damage caused by intense workouts, which leads to slower recovery, decreased performance, and a higher risk of injury.

I cover how to tell when your body needs a deload period by noticing the signs of over-training, which include:

• recurring aches and pains
• decreased performance during workouts or competitions
• feeling unmotivated to train
• feeling like you need more sleep or rest than usual
• tightness in the muscles that doesn’t seem to get better
• an erratic appetite (sometimes you feel super hungry, other times you may have no appetite at all)
• trouble sleeping (even though you feel tired all the time)

If you start to notice the signs of overtraining, consider planning a deload period in your training by reducing your workout intensity by 40-50%. You can even take a week off from training altogether (or longer, depending on the severity of your overtraining syndrome, you may need as long as a month to deload. This allows your body to heal and become resensitized to the training stimulus, leading to better gains in the long run.

The most important thing you can do to influence your loved ones to start a fitness journey is to focus on your own fitness journey.

In today's episode, I share a conversation I had with my Twitch chat after one of my followers asked "How do I get my friends to go to the gym?"

No matter your best intentions, it's important to respect others' boundaries and consent.

I live by the motto "Be responsible for your own gains." This means focusing on your own journey and letting others make decisions for their own health.

Pressuring people to go to the gym could potentially harm your relationships and also push people away from wanting to get in shape. The best way to influence others is to live a healthy lifestyle and respect their autonomy.

With that said, in this discussion, we also go over some ways to invite someone to the gym without pressuring them or making them feel bad.

There’s no one exercise that will eliminate belly fat. Let’s look at the things that actually work to help you burn fat.

Despite what many social media fitness influencers say, doing exercises for your abs, obliques, and other core muscles does nothing for burning fat in the belly. It does, however, help you to get a strong core—which is important for doing the kinds of exercises that can help you burn more fat (squats, lunges, deadlifts, etc).

Burning body fat is all about being in a calorie deficit, where you consume less energy through food than your body spends every day.

No matter what kinds of exercises you do, if you don’t manage what you eat, you won’t see results in your fat loss.

Beyond getting into a calorie deficit, some things can help your body burn more visceral fat in the belly, like limiting your sugar intake, eating more protein, and consuming plenty of fiber.

It’s also super important to exercise smart to burn fat, meaning your weekly training routine includes both cardio and strength training. Cardio will help your body to burn more calories and strength training will help to reduce muscle loss while you’re in a calorie deficit (which will help keep your metabolism fast).

Don’t fall for the myth that doing a bunch of crunches and planks will reduce your belly fat. Follow the tips in this episode, and you’ll see some measurable progress!

I sat down with my doctor to create a plan for navigating this allergy & germ season to avoid getting sick. What’s your plan?

If you’ve been following me on Twitch, you’ll know that over the last few weeks, I have been dealing with a nasty respiratory illness that I picked up while hanging out with my nieces and nephew.

Since I was little, I’ve always struggled to stay well when respiratory bugs are going around. Having allergies and asthma makes me particularly sensitive to getting sick and staying sick.

In this latest bout, I sat down with my doctor to create a plan to help my body fight off illness and bounce back faster. In this episode, I share the plan that we came up with.*

Meal Prep is a great way to save time, money, and brainpower while reaching your daily nutrition goals.

As a busy coach and athlete with ADHD, I’m a BIG fan of meal prep. This involves preparing my food ahead of when I plan to eat it, which allows me to go about my day-to-day life without the hassle of deciding what to eat.

This way of organizing your eating can help you to:

• stay consistent in reaching your daily nutrition goals
• avoid overeating while practicing portion control
• spend less time in the kitchen at meal times

Personal trainer Jayd Harrison gives tips for getting back into your workout routine after time away to avoid injury and getting sick (again).

Many people work out way too hard on their first workout back in the gym after being sick or taking time off. In this episode, Jayd spoke with her Twitch chat about how to get back into training in a way that will help, not harm, your body.

Jayd also talks about why people feel the need to “punish” themselves or “catch up” from time away from the gym—and why that’s not necessary to get back in shape.
