Grab a pen and paper because you are going to want to take notes during this podcast. Josh and I cover several topics that our clients frequently ask us about. We start off by addressing how much cardio should you do for your fat loss goals, what about HIIT vs. LISS and does fasted cardio matter. 

We also explain what metabolic adaptation is, how you can work with your body to keep working towards your goals, even as your body adapts. 

There are so many great nuggets in this epidote and I'm sure you'll have follow up questions. Reach out to either of us and we will help you!

After seven years of following Jess and doing her workouts, I finally had the opportunity to sit down and chat with her about all things training, nutrition and business. For years, I've been dying to ask her how she comes up with her workouts and really just get to know her better. 

We start of by getting to know a little more about Jess and her journey from collegiate softball player at Standford University into a coach, trainer and entrepreneur. Our discussion includes the differences (and mutual appreciation) between our methods of training, both of our perspectives on tracking macronutrients and of course how on earth do you run a business, take care of your family and also take care of yourself. 

This conversation is perfect for anyone who already loves Jess or anyone who is looking to take their personal training or nutrition coaching business online . 

Make sure you are following her on Instagram at BlondePonytail and her website: BlondePonytail.com. 

Tom Terwilliger, Athlete, Entrepreneur and Motivator sat down to talk mindset  with me. Tom won, (YES WON) the Super Bowl of body building, and was Mr. America. He transferred the skills it took him to become the world's best body builder and became an author, entrepreneur and coach. As you can see, he is my kind of people!

A few of my favorite snippets/quotes include:

How to create your comeback plan

When you are focused like a laser on the problem, you can’t see any of the opportunities.

Get out of fear doubt and uncertainty and into action.

The perfect plan versus a good plan.

Why you should be grateful for all of your emotions.

Find your power through reframe.

Where do I begin??? This episode with Joe is full of nuggets that will open your eyes and make you examine your relationship wit yourself and how you eat and exercise. 

The main point of having Joe on the podcast was to discuss body dysmorphia, but it turned out to be so much more. Joe explains how the obsession with how we look is actually a distractor to what we are actually feeling. Our mind and our ego are trying to protect us from the feelings we don't want to feel. WE GO DEEP.

One of my favorite quotes, "Fat is not a feeling."

"When we really recognize that it's so much easier for us to believe a lie, than to believe that we were lied to."

"The true essence of the healing is to recognize that the way that I choose to see myself will impact my life. The stories I believe about myself will impact my life."

I can't possible summarize the goodnesses that is this podcast. All I know, you need to listen to it.

Where to buy bands:

Most importantly, remember why you started working out/training in the first place. It's not the equipment that gives you a good workout, it's the intention you bring to it. Training is a gift, pushing your body is a gift and it needs to come from a place of love.

As a school counselor of 18 years, Stacy has several hands-on tools that we can use as parents to get our children to open up to us about what they might be feeling right now. This episode was recorded in April of 2020 as the world deals with the Corona Virus. Schools are closed, children are at home without their friends and they may need to get some things off their chest. But how do you get your child to talk to you about what they are feeling? That's where Stacy comes in! From bubbles to parking lots, Stacy has all sorts of tools we can use to get our children (whatever age) to open up. 

This episode is the therapy session you did not know you needed...or maybe you did! Erica gives us some things to keep in mind as we try to navigate these inprecidentented times. I believe her approach and tips will give you peace of mind, something we can all use more of.
