In this episode, we’ll cover pro tips that will help you start your journey well.

1) Injury prevention

2) Food journaling

3) Reasons (good reasons) you’re not losing weight - AND MORE!

It is not only a powerful plot device in modern and ancient stories.

In Part 7 we’ll talk through CARBOHYDRATES and their role in your health and fitness journey. HINT* You don’t need to cut them out forever.

The gyms are about to get very crowded all over the world…because of the new year!

What’s sad is that most of the newcomers will stop coming by the end of February.

Why is that?

The health and fitness world is filled with 4-week FADS ; 8-week programs; and the short term research to back up these spurts of well-meaning exercise and nutrition change.

But around here, we know that nothing worth changing about you is short-term.

In fact, that’s not how biology works, anyway.

Anything short-term is a waste of time in the big scheme of things.

Let’s take a different view of exercise, nutrition and lifestyle change in 2020.

Let’s create sustainable changes that will stick with you so that next year, 2021, you’re getting to grow further instead of spinning your wheels or backsliding!

In this episode, we’ll cover the hero's journey.

It is not only a powerful plot device in modern and ancient stories.

It's a deeply representative part of the renewing process of psychology and biology on our life goals and experience.

Losing weight, gaining muscle, improving physical health...what, really, is the point? And how can you stay motivated to continue doing what you know is good for you?

Listen in as Coach Alex VanHouten sheds light on the matter!

In Part 6 next week, we’ll talk through the practical PRO TIPS you need to know in starting the journey so that you don’t give up where many others (especially during the new year) do - in the first 8 weeks!

The gyms are about to get very crowded all over the world…because of the new year!

What’s sad is that most of the newcomers will stop coming by the end of February.

In this episode, we’ll cover the potential you have locked up inside of you.

I’m sure you’ve heard that your DNA is the blueprint for your body, but did you know that only certain portions of it are activated right now?

What would happen if you could turn off the undesireable genes and turn on the parts of you that you want to see manifest in your life?

Maybe you are more energetic, more muscular, less depressed, and stronger than you think you are. You just have to activate that potential in you!

In Part 5 next week, we’ll talk through the HEROES JOURNEY and why taking on challenges is a necessary part of moving forward in your health and fitness journey if you don’t want to just “go through the motions”!

Let’s create sustainable changes that will stick with you so that next year, 2021, you’re getting to grow further instead of spinning your wheels or backsliding.

In this episode, we’ll cover the differences between short term and long term body composition change. Are you losing fat to “show well” in the next couple of weeks?

Or are you trying to decrease body fat in a way that will keep it off for good?

An important thing to decide because you may be wanting both in 2020 — but the methods we use to achieve both are DIFFERENT.

In Part 4 we’ll dive into epigenetics and why unlocking your hidden genetic potential is worth aiming for in your pursuit of a better version of you in 2020!
