Far too many people approach their training with a 'wing it' mentality, and unfortunately it can lead to less than stellar results, or even worse, regressions. Whether this is due to naivety or just out-of-whack short term priorities, adjustments can and should be made to help you optimize your training. So in today's episode, Oshane and I sit down and discuss what exactly goes into a proper training program, the best practices you should follow, and the mistakes you should look to avoid when it comes to your overall training program.

There are tons of fitness stereotypes out there, some of which carry a negative connotation with them. In today's episode, Oshane and I touch on some of these stereotypes and how we can go about changing the negative perspectives surrounding them. In the next 35 minutes we'll discuss:

• People who think they'll be judged by others at a gym or public setting
• People who let previous bad experiences shape their outlook on health and future fitness endeavors
• When lofty fitness goals don't line up with a person's expectations of what it takes to achieve them
• Wanting long term results through short term methods

Today we're joined by Kim Diaz, a long time client of GRIT Fitness and Performance.  In the 12 months Kim has been training with us, not only has she seen awesome strength gains and an improvement in body composition, but Kim has made leaps and bounds with her mental health, confidence, and outlook on life. It's common for people to have goals in the fat loss or 'look better' category, but too many people fail to realize how putting yourself first and taking control of your health and fitness can have so many beneficial side effects that are unrelated to how you look in the mirror. Kim is a prime example of how these originally unintended results can drastically alter your life for the better.
