Mobility is " a tool for improving your capacity to move and perform efficiently. - Dr. Kelly Starrett But to me mobility is so much more than that. It's something we should be utilizing every. single. day to optimize our physical health and wellness. The most important reason to maintain your mobility is for longevity of your body and joints. Hydration EpisodePrinciples to Gaintain  Connect with me on social! Podcast Instagram Page Instagram: @Tyler_EganTwitter: @tyler_egan2LinkedIn Page: Click thisFacebook Page: @VeganEganYouTube: Tyler Egan

We're all dealt a hand, and it's not just our duty, but our OBLIGATION to take the hand we're dealt and make it better. It's unfortunate that some are dealt a hand that's worse, and others have a good situation, but regardless of the situation, its on you to make the situation better. Have you done that in 2020? Connect with me on social! Podcast Instagram Page Instagram: @Tyler_EganTwitter: @tyler_egan2LinkedIn Page: Click thisFacebook Page: @VeganEganYouTube: Tyler Egan

First step to any health & fitness journey is to get into the gym, or get out and exercise. Once your there though, you need to focus on some basic prinicples Today I discuss my basic training principles for training in the gym, they include: Quantity over quality, focusing on the quality of the exercise rather than the quantity of the weight on the bar or the amount of reps your doing. Focusing on Proper Movements and performing exercise properly. Last, but certainly not least... Developing the mind muscle connection and really understanding what to feel and what muscles should be firing. Connect with me on social! Podcast Instagram Page Instagram: @Tyler_EganTwitter: @tyler_egan2LinkedIn Page: Click thisFacebook Page: @VeganEganYouTube: Tyler Egan

Self-Responsibility. It's probably the key to you, not only starting your  health & fitness journey, but maintaining it for life. Self-Responsibility is Owning your emotional conflict, or taking ownership of yourself, and this is something we often don't discuss today. In today's episode I discuss what I mean when I say "I want to help you move better, feel better, and in the long run, look a hell of a lot better" Deep down I believe that every human is capabe of whatever they set their mind too, but it starts with you. When you can get out of your own way and start taking control of your health, it's important to understand how to get the most out of what you want. Whatever that may be, and that starts with moving better. Once you start moving well and optimizing that you can achieve your physical goals. But lets take a step back, because in order to get healthy you need to not just move well, but feel well. What's health without feeling like a million bucks? From there, you will look better. At the end of the day, aesthetics are just the byproduct of moving well (and achieving your goals) and feeling well (understanding what your body needs). Human movement and fitness can be complicated (if you want to get into the niddy griddy) or you can really simplify it like I just did. Connect with me on social! Podcast Instagram Page Instagram: @Tyler_EganTwitter: @tyler_egan2LinkedIn Page: Click thisFacebook Page: @VeganEganYouTube: Tyler Egan

Today, I had the opportunity to sit down with Small Seed Bar owner, Shane MacKinnon yet again, and we dive into Shane's story and how he was able to take himself to the next level. Shane and I discuss his views on leadership and how he became a leader among his friends and family. We also discuss what he's done to increase his performance, not only in the gym and in the kitchen, but in his career. Shane is a father, husband, and business owner, so as you could imagine his life never stops. He's always jumping from one thing to the next, whether that be providing for his family or taking his business (Small Seed Bar) to the next level. Everything he does has a purpose, and when it comes to optimizing his performance that didn't change. Whether that be through his supplementation or training, or making lifestyle changes, like switching to a plant based diet, Shane is always looking to take himself to the next level. This is exactly why Shane is a leader to everybody around him! Go connect with Shane on social media and be sure to check out Small Seed Bar Shane's Instagram: @ShaneMacKinnonSmall Seed's Instagram @SmallSeedBarSmall Seed's Facebook: @SmallSeedBar Connect with me on social! Podcast Insta: https://www.instagram.com/plants_prsorhttps://plantsandprs.podbean.com  (it's also on Apple, Spotify, and Google Podcast) My Personal Insta: https://www.instagram.com/tyler_egan/Twitter: https://twitter.com/tyler_egan2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/VeganEgan/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/TylerEgan1LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tyler-egan-24-cpt-wls/

On today's episode of the Plants & PR's podcast I sit down with two Vegan Gangsters, Holly & Shane MacKinnon, owners of the Plant Based snack bar company Small Seed Bar.  Holly & Shane started the company shortly after transitioning to a Plant Based diet, where they quickly realized that the Plant Based community really lacked "on the go" meal ideas, that were not only quick and delicious, but also nutritionally dense. That's when they decided to act, and Small Seed was created. We go into the nuances of their beginning, and they even give me a little inside scoop as to what we can expect next from Small Seed. Small Seed bars are absolutely delicious, made with wholesome ingredients, and they have a great protein profile (for all you protein deficient vegans out there). They're an absolute staple in my everyday life and I could not recommend them more! Go connect with Holly & Shane on social media and let them know what you think! Shane's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shanemackinnon/?hl=enHolly's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/holly.mackinnon/?hl=en Small Seed's Social Mediahttps://www.facebook.com/smallseedbar/https://www.instagram.com/smallseedbar/ Their Podcasthttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/small-seed-big-impact/id1481128751 Connect w/ me elsewhere Podcast Insta: https://www.instagram.com/plants_prsorhttps://plantsandprs.podbean.com  (it's also on Apple, Spotify, and Google Podcast) My Personal Insta: https://www.instagram.com/tyler_egan/Twitter: https://twitter.com/tyler_egan2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/VeganEgan/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/TylerEgan1LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tyler-egan-24-cpt-wls/

Today I dive back into the Thoracic Spine (or upper back) to talk about the benefits I've noticed within a lot of movements and adequate thoracic spine mobility. I discuss movements like the Overhead & Bench Press, the Squat, and of course the deadlift. This is the 2nd part to my 2 part episode on Thoracic Spine Mobility, so make sure to check out the first episode prior to this! If this episode was useful to you in anyway, I'd really appreciate it if you could share and leave a review! Connect w/ me elsewhere Podcast Insta: https://www.instagram.com/plants_prsorhttps://plantsandprs.podbean.com  (it's also on Apple, Spotify, and Google Podcast) My Personal Insta: https://www.instagram.com/tyler_egan/Twitter: https://twitter.com/tyler_egan2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/VeganEgan/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/TylerEgan1LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tyler-egan-24-cpt-wls/

The Thoracic Spine is the upper part of your back (your spine is broken down into 3 part, Cervical = Head/neck area, Thoracic = mid back, lumbar = lower) and is the key to unlocking a lot of the movement your missing in your upper body. If this episode was useful to you in anyway, I'd really appreciate it if you could share and leave a review! Connect w/ me elsewhere Podcast Insta: https://www.instagram.com/plants_prsorhttps://plantsandprs.podbean.com  (it's also on Apple, Spotify, and Google Podcast) My Personal Insta: https://www.instagram.com/tyler_egan/Twitter: https://twitter.com/tyler_egan2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/VeganEgan/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/TylerEgan1LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tyler-egan-24-cpt-wls/
