-Too routine equals a stalling of the gains

-Treat your training in seasons (like sport or weather seasons)

(24:05) You're not consistent enough

"Life is too short to spend out of shape, in pain, and not functioning at your best. Are you ready to perform at the top of your game for life? Join our new Facebook group Become a Corporate Athlete. Where we provide weekly tips, motivation, and education to thrive with your work/life balance.

We believe food is healthy (effective) or unhealthy (ineffective).

On that note, food is NOT a moral issue. Being overweight, eating unhealthy, or even craving unhealthy food doesn't make you a bad person… It makes you a HUMAN BEING!

We don't like the term, "Cheat Meals" because you are not cheating on yourself when you indulge in an effective meal. The problem is when you abuse food and it starts to abuse you. That is a slippery slope no wants, needs, or deserves to go down.

Join us in this conversation about mentality, responsibility, and how to understand what your cravings are telling you to make rational decisions that you can own to make the best choices possible.

Here is our list of topics we unpack:

1. It's a treat.
2. There is always something healthier
3. Budget (balance)
4. Nutrient Tank and Satiated
5. HALT
6. Pre-Heat
7. Drink
8. Celiac…

Over the last 20+ years in the Fitness industry, we've dealt with our handful of objections when it comes to not starting (or continuing) a training program. And the hardest objection to overcome is not money, time, or even motivation it is the Spousal Support.

Join us in this conversation as we unpack the pros and cons of spousal support.

-How to get your spouse on board.

-What to do if your spouse is resistant to you starting a training program.

-When it's your fault if your spouse isn't on board.

And this information isn't just for spouses as it would apply to family members, parents, and close friends.

Carbs are not the devil. Fat doesn't make you FAT. Protein is pretty full proof on getting you results.

Nutrition can be as simple or as complex as we make it. But for the majority of individuals is a very confusing game. The diet and supplement industry is nealry a 4 BILLION dollar industry!

To WIN with Nutrition you must understand this… Every (physical) body is unique but the requirements for success remain the same.

In this episode, we give you much more than just what not to eat. We dive into the mentality, journey, and how we as professionals look at someone's food diary and match them with their priorities in life.

Bad Foods (Foods to Avoid)

1. Seed Oils
2. Don't drink your calories
3. Sweeteners
4. Find your Food Allergies (23:30)
5. Alcohol

Enjoy the conversation.

If you want gains you need to train. And when you train you will have aches, pains, soreness, and injuries.

You can do a google search on how to recover from injuries physically. But what about the mental and emotional impact on your psyche when you are injured? How do you deal with an injury setback? But what if your physical injury is leading you to a mental breakthrough?

Join us as we unpack this topic and provide you with tips, tricks, and personal and professional perspectives with our 20 years of experience.

Most former athletes (like us) think "Getting in the Zone" refers to an athletic environment (which it does). But what if you can get

"In the zone" in other areas of your life?

What if you can get in the zone with…

-Your Weight loss?

-Your Marriage and relationships?

-Your Career?

We cover 4 components of how to get in the zone.

1. Commit to Excellence
2. Concentration
3. Practice Harder than the Game (i.e. Life)
4. Radiate Confidence

Every day ordinary people live an extraordinary life by getting in the zone with their priorities in life.

Similar setup as we did with episode 49 about whether is competition good or bad for you. In this episode tackle Challenges. Are they good or bad for you?

So many people get introduced to dieting or working out through challenges. And even if you get great results from the challenge why do so many people not keep the results?

Why Challenges are Good: 1. The more obstacle you conquer, the easier the process becomes. 2. With you each obstacle you conquer the more confidence you build. 3. The more confidence you gain the more powerful and unstoppable you become.

Challenges are a powerful vehicle to impact change and results in your life. But there is an ugly side to Challenges because with great power comes great responsibility.

Join us as we unpack this BIG topic.

Everyone is competitive. With yourself, opponents, co-workers, neighbors, or other companies.

Life is a sport.

Sport is Play.

How do you react to the competition? Do you push harder? Do you become obsessed? Practice more? Find ways to cut corners. Do you cheat?

Does competition help push you to be your best or is it all about just beating someone else?

We talk about the Good, Bad, and Ugly sides of competition.
