I was working with one of my clients the other morning and they were talking about how during the week they had tried to or had good intentions of doing some exercises on their own, but they were unable to ‘drum up’ the motivation to do anything. Before I could get in there to ask my questions, about what they thought they could do differently to make the exercise more manageable or help them find some motivation for the next time, they followed it up with this question - Jonathan, How do you stay motivated to exercise?   Get Our Fitness For Beginners Course For Free!

Episode 330: Jonathan, What Motivates You To Exercise?

Fitness For Freedom Tips is a new type of fitness and health show. We deliver fitness tips that you can apply to your life right away in 10 minutes or less.  Lets face it you’re busy and life pulls you in all directions. You want to be healthier, but living a healthier lifestyle is hard. It requires you to change and there is a lot of misinformation out there. We work hard to syphon through it to give you the most sound advice possible and set you up for the greatest chance of success.   

Jonathan Chant has been working with people to live healthier lives for 10 years now and he’s seen it all. That’s why he founded Fitness For Freedom, your complete online fitness training and lifestyle design community.  He pulls out all the stops to help you make the changes yourself. No transformation challenges, no extreme changes just solid strategies to help you make changes that will stick for the rest of your life.  

Change is constant and you’re going to have lots of questions as you go along that’s why we keep our episodes short so they don’t ‘eat in’ to your already ‘stretched’ lives (puns intended). 
We try to have some fun with it too! 
Exercise doesn’t have to be boring? 

So what are you waiting for? If you’re still reading this you’re definitely interested in the show, so give it a listen.

Episode 343: Creating Better Self-Talk

Today is a must read episode, Atomic Habits: An easy and proven way to build good habits and break bad ones. As soon as I listened to an interview with the author James Clear I knew I was going to read this book, agree with almost everything inside of it and make it a must read episode. The premise of the book is that changing small habits or small portions of your life produce very little change....

Episode 342 : A Must Read Episode - Atomic Habits

I usually like going to these events, I mean who doesn’t want to go to a function where you hardly know anyone and sit in a corner by yourself, while you use wheat thins to slowly shovel brie cheese covered in maple syrup and nuts one mouthful at a time, justifying each bite is okay because you have grapes on your plate. Sounds like a good Saturday night if you ask me......   10 Weeks to 10 Push-ups Fitness Challenge Get Our Fitness For Beginners Course For Free!

I used to hate fitness challenges - 30 Days of Plank, the 12 Days of Lunges,  The Burpee Challenge, you know, the ones that periodically show up on your facebook or instagram feed or an over exuberant friend tells you about how they're doing it and it’s amazing and you should do it too.  Yes, I find those people just as irritating as you do, but something has come up that is making me rethink how I feel about fitness challenges, which I will get to, but first I’ll talk about the reasons I don’t like them, because they still hold true...   10 Weeks to 10 Push-ups Fitness Challenge Get Our Fitness For Beginners Course For Free!

Episode 340 - Is There Value In Fitness Challenges?

Last Wednesday night was Halloween and even though I’m generally anti-chips and chocolate bars, I try not to be anti-fun and recognize that getting dressed up and going to people’s houses, getting candy and chocolates is just that, especially for children and as far as I can tell mothers, at least in our house, so we participate in all things that Halloween brings.....enter debacle.   10 Weeks to 10 Push-ups iOS App Get Our Fitness For Beginners Course For Free!
