The Last Diet Podcast: Training, Performance & Identity After 30

Stop Training To Be Smaller W/Martina Ahern


Listen Later

In this episode, Mike and Martina explore why weight loss shouldn’t be the only focus of your fitness journey.

They unpack how obsessing over the scales can create stress, inconsistency, and a toxic relationship with health — often stopping people from achieving lasting results.

Instead, they discuss:

  • Why structure beats motivation
  • How shifting focus to performance, habits, and identity creates sustainable change
  • The power of setting athletic or skill-based goals (like running events or strength targets)
  • How fitness improves confidence, energy, productivity, and overall quality of life
  • Why strength training is critical for longevity, especially as we age

The key takeaway:
 When you build habits, structure, and identity around fitness — rather than chasing weight loss — fat loss often becomes a natural byproduct.

Fitness isn’t just about looking smaller.
 It’s about building strength, resilience, and a body that supports you for life.
