Mindful Personal Training

Looking to others for exercise motivation can work, but can set you up for failure. However, there is a different type of motivation that can help avoid potential fitness pitfalls. If you already have an understanding of Intrinsic Motivation then you are on the right track. You were born with a turn-on switch to live your life the way you see fit. Now, what if I told you that switch is nothing compared to the power supply of what resides in you? Intrinsic motivation is what will get you through the tough times in training your mind and body to become one. Here's an episode to see if you have what it takes. Keep training your tribe!

Never compromise your standards. At least that's what we tell ourselves when we want to stand for our principles. So why is it lately, that there are those who make policy pushing to lower recognized expectations? In this week's episode, we discuss the standards of what we have known in the past. The change to lower achievements for the present to accommodate those who cannot is counterproductive. And who does it really benefit? In the world of health, there are no benefits to shortchanging what you need to do physically, to be fit, and reduce health risks.

Getting in shape is a time crunch. As long as fitness has been around there has been equipment made to order for your home or garage.

We will help answer some key questions you need to contemplate yourself before you make that next fitness purchase. Always stop by www.drclintcepeda.com for more details.

This week we get a very curious friend of mine who wanted to know the benefits and differences in energy drinks. Specifically, the amount of caffeine to consume and what really is going on when we drink liquid energy. A tremendous shout-out to my friend who is traveling the roads of our nation and who had the idea for this week's episode. As always train your tribe and always stop by www.drclintcepeda.com for more information!

This episode is one that I am extremely passionate about. For long listeners of the podcast, you all know that we do not mince words. As a matter of fact, some might say we are rude in our delivery. Of course, I totally disagree. Do not mistake the delivery of the message for what it is trying to say. Creating low expectations creates low self-esteem, effort, and perception of who you truly can become. At least fitness-wise. To say this is one of my favorite episodes to record is true. There is a change out there, but not necessarily for the better. As always check out www.drclintcepeda.com for all the details.

What is real muscle? It is an interesting question when you consider that every person may have a different answer. However, there is really just one answer that we can all agree on. Real muscle has to last. Whether it lasts a lifetime or just a period in your life that will be up to you. This week's episode is one that will get you thinking that age is really just a number. Your exercise practices now will determine your wellness foundations for years to come.

No movement means no progress. This can be true in any setting; especially in exercise. If you don't move you will always be complacent in your current status. In terms of fitness and exercise, you cannot be in shape if you are constantly out of shape. The movement you need is the movement you require. Be active in whatever you choose to physically do. But if you are inactive, what you see, feel, and complain about within your body is multiplied with no end in sight. Although being inactive can seem fine in the short term, its negative effects are lifelong if not dealt with accordingly.

Fear. We all have it. I can't imagine what everyone's fear is about training or exercising. I can tell you it doesn't have to be this way. Look at defining the fears that prevent you from succeeding. Identify why it is so challenging when it comes to weight loss. Solve the personal puzzle you have when looking for motivation in your workout routine. These statements are rooted in fear. Listen to this episode and start conquering your fear to lose weight. Welcome to Season Two of Mindful Personal Training the podcast.

Sometimes when we hear things we do not listen. Is this you? Is it more common than not when you are asking a question about your weight loss challenges you ask a second question before you get an answer from the initial question? Or what about getting an answer to a question that you were not too happy to hear? In this week's episode see if this description fits you. For information to be communciated you need to understand the message. You can't understand if keep interrupting. Keep training with your tribe. As always stay mindful!

Thanks for tuning into MIndful Personal Training. This week we tackle something that really makes me question the intentions of advertisers. Now we can all say that product awareness is their job. However, what happens when the advertisement is an absolute LIE! The golden rule that you can never get something for nothing applies prominently in the exercise and fitness industry. If you have fallen for weight loss products and services that promise the world only to deliver temporary or false claims then this episode is for you. I know the power of desperate thoughts can take over your better judgment. But you cannot fall into that chasm of despair by believing everything you hear, read, or see. This is especially true in the pursuit of exercise. Stay mindful. For more information head on over to www.drclintcepeda.com.
