Last Monday we released an episode talking about what my 'secret' was for losing weight and after we released it I realized I forgot a really important component to the making small changes philosophy. Today we're covering the part I left because I want you to make your changes stick, now let's cut to it.

We do lots of surveys with clients asking them what their biggest struggles are and what they need to be successful, like what could be different or how we could help to give them their best chance of success and the number one thing they tell us is 'I'm not motivated to exercise, I need to be motivated or how can I be motivated' which is why we did Episode 9: How to Use Feedback as Motivation to Exercise, except this is the part that doesn't make sense, we've done 180 Episodes now and are 135,000 downloads strong thank you for all of your support we really appreciate that, but we have 3 episodes with under 500 downloads and one of them is Episode 9: How to Use Feedback as Motivation to Exercise and the other is Episode 20 - Celebrating Small Wins both of which have to do with motivation, which is incredibly disappointing for me, because it's what people said they needed the most help with. I know it's not as sexy as can you lose weight while still eating carbohydrates or how can you get more definition in your arms, but it's more important because without motivation you're not going to be able to change anything else and it makes every other episode a moot point, today I'm going to give you 3 examples of clients I work with and how they used feedback to not only make changes, but evaluate their changes to make more changes and to be motivated to get back on track.
Also it is Funday Friday so stick around until the end of the show because we are giving one lucky listener free lifetime membership to our online fitness and lifestyle design community, where we have hundreds of exercise programs and over a dozen courses to help you be the most active version of yourself, now let's get to it.

Last week I was training a client that I've been training 3 times a week for the last 3 years and she said to me, 'Jonathan you've lost weight,' I responded yes only about 10 pounds in the last 3 years, but none recently. I've lost about 35 in the last 6 years. Then she asked me this, 'What's your secret? That's what we're covering today, my secret and we're going to shout it from the roof tops so that everyone knows and it's not a secret anymore. Don't go anywhere!

It's Q & A Wednesday's and our question is in from Greg who has this question or issue we'll call it - I dislocated my shoulder playing squash about 8 weeks ago when I fell into the wall. It hurts when I do some exercises like push-ups and bicep curls and I'm afraid I'll make it worse; how do I know what exercises I should and shouldn't do?
Thanks for this question Greg, we all deal with injuries at one point or another and I'm not 100% sure I can help you here, but I'll give it my best shot so don't go anywhere.

Cardiovascular training is really important, it develops your muscles in a way that improves your circulatory system, it improves your mitochondrial density or the energy factories right in your cell and it helps decrease your chance of getting diseases like Type 2 Diabetes and Heart Disease and it helps to decrease your blood pressure, which decreases your chance of having a stroke. But how do you know you're doing the right intensity or enough volume to make a difference, that's what we're covering today, so don't go anywhere.
