Starbuck Fitness Podcast

Many beginners make the mistake of purchasing a weight that is far too light for them when they start getting dumbbells or kettlebells for their home gym. Today we talk about why you should get a heavier weight than you think, and how to choose the right weight to start with so you don't end up with a useless collection of overpriced paperweights.

I'm gonna share a secret with you. There's no best fat loss workout, no best fat loss exercise.  In fact, exercise contributes very little to fat loss progress.  But if you knew that, it would be harder for marketers to sell you fat loss workouts. Let's talk about that in today's podcast.

In today's episode I talk about why you should allow yourself to have some higher fat, tasty foods while your working on your fat loss goals. And no, it's not because keto.

If you've spent tons of time stretching or doing yoga and never seem to improve your flexibility, don't feel bad. Stretching isn't how we improve flexibility and mobility. In today's episode we discuss what's missing in most people's flexibility program that is easy to fix and will have you developing real, useful flexibility.

There's a lot of good reasons to do cardio, and there are some dumb reasons, too. 

Today we chat about why you should do cardio and how to do it right. And we'll definitely chat about the very best form of cardio.

Nutrition can be one of the most complicated things about your fitness journey.  This is compounded by the myriad fad diets out there all claiming to be the best for fat loss.

But nutrition doesn't have to be complicated.  There are some simple things that all good eating plans have in common, and those are what I'm sharing in today's episode.

When it comes to your workout program, it can be easy to overlook strength training and prioritize cardio or flexibility exercise.  But making this mistake can really slow your progress.

Now that the holidays have passed and it's time for New Years Resolutions, lots of folks are setting fitness goals.

And goals and resolutions are great, but if you're looking to start to exercise more, or work on health in 2021, there's a something you need to do that's more important than goal setting.

In this episode, I talk about what's more important than goals and habits, and share my favorite books to help you along the way.
