Accomplishing the fitness goals you have doesn’t have to be difficult.

However, many people make it harder for themselves than it needs to be because they are using the wrong tools to help them get to their goals.

On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are identifying what these tools are, why they are so important, and how you can start using them consistently.

Not only will this make reaching your goals significantly easier, but it will also help you do so quickly and safely.

If you have been putting in the effort to reach your goals but feel like you keep falling short, listen up!

You may just need to switch the tools you are using to help you reach your goals.

If you have been trying to make progress with your strength and fitness, there have likely been some roadblocks you have hit along the way.

While we would all love progress to be a linear trajectory from the moment we start working out until the moment we stop, the truth is that progress is anything but linear.

In fact, there are three distinct stages of progress that, if you don’t realize it, can completely stop you from achieving the goals you are after with your workouts.

However, once you know what these stages are, you can better understand how to navigate each stage and see more clearly when you need to push hard and when you need to back off or change direction.

On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are exploring these three distinct stages of progress and laying out what you need to know as you go through each to successfully reach your goals.

If you feel stuck with your workouts or believe that what you are doing isn’t working, listen up!

You may be getting caught in one of these three stages and metaphorically turning left when you should turn right.

This conversation will teach you exactly what you need to do to keep moving forward.

Muscle Activation Techniques®, or MAT, is the most powerful process we have come across for helping people increase their strength and mobility while reducing pain and tightness.

But, while the effects of MAT are profound, explaining it to somebody can be challenging.

Over the years of practicing MAT, we have seen that there are some key concepts that can be easily explained and help people quickly understand not only what MAT is, but why it is important.

On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are breaking down these key concepts to present MAT in a simple, straightforward way that is easy to understand.

If you have heard us speak about MAT before but aren’t completely sure what it is or how you would explain it to somebody else, listen up!

This conversation will clear that up for you once and for all.

If you have ever felt like improving your posture would resolve any issues you’re experiencing, listen up!

There is something really important you need to understand about the posture discussion if you actually want to make progress with both your body and your posture.

What’s the difference between people who continue to feel strong and move well after their mid 30s and those who do not?

While everybody has hit their natural physical peak by this stage in life, there are some people who continue to progress while others start their physical decline.

For nearly a decade and a half we have seen a common trait among those who continue to thrive after the age of 35 that has become so obvious to us, but is hidden from most people.

On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are sharing what this common trait is and how you can adopt it into your own life to make sure you continue to thrive no matter your age.

If you feel like your body is on the wrong side of the aging and abilities continuum and want to get back to feeling strong and energized, this conversation has exactly what you need to hear.

We break down what this common trait is, what it means for you, and how you can easily integrate it into your weekly routine.
