We like to think that change happens in a linear fashion, going from point “A” to point “B” with no disturbance or disruption on the way. Of course, when we actually take time think about it, we know that there are many bumps and bruises along the way, no matter what goal we’re pursuing.

These “bumps and bruises” are known as obstacles. Obstacles can have a negative connotation in the context of pursuing goals because…well…by definition, they stand in the way of our progress.

While we certainly can’t control whether or not obstacles will occur (because they most definitely will), we can control how we confront them. And the better prepared we are to confront obstacles when they arise, the more likely we are to overcome them when the time comes.

In this episode of Overcoming Obstacles (part #1) we discuss…

· What it means to be more purposeful with your actions

· How to attach your actions to your identity for better results

· Asking “Why” 3 times for more clarity on goals

· Why it’s important to leave our outcomes up to fate

· So much more…

In our previous series, we started a conversation about Calories. Counting Calories is one of the most popular strategies for losing weight. And, when done correctly, can be very effective. However, there’s much more to the equation than just “Calories-in VS Calories”.

In this series, we’ll be talking about the second part of that equation: Calories-out. While trying to accurately calculate the Calories you’re eating can be a challenge in and of itself, figuring out the Calories you’re burning is no simpler. There are a number of factors that go into play when it comes to burning Calories, many of which are easily overlooked or simply neglected.

So, empowering yourself with the knowledge behind what happens when you’re burning Calories throughout day will go a long way in helping you achieve your health and fitness goals, no matter if you’re trying to lose weight, improve performance, or put on muscle.

In this episode of Burning Calories (part #1) we discuss…

· How many Calories in takes to burn a pound of fat

Over the years there have been a number of diet and nutrition programs that are based around counting Calories. While the Calorie is a necessary measure to help us understand how much food we’re putting into our bodies, is it the best way for us to be tracking our food consumption?

When it come to our physical health, we spend a lot of time talking about and focusing on exercise as the main tool for improvement. Exercise, of course, is a necessity in our modern lives. But is this the only form of movement we need to build into our routine?

And the answer is, of course, surely not. Exercise is just one type of movement we should employ to move our way toward health and fitness mastery. There are other types of movement that should not only be included in your routine but may also have a greater overall impact on your long-term health.

In this episode of Movement Matters (part #2) we discuss…

· What happens your eyes don’t get the movement they need

· How to improve your metabolic flexibility

· How humans evolved to adjust to cold and heat

· What you should do to adjust your internal thermostat

· So much more…
