Response to blog, you NEED carbs, don’t separate bodyparts, grips strength, and death of personal training

Welcome to Episode 15 of Coach Taylor Radio!

This week has been a whirlwind as the fitness community has picked up on my latest blog. I chat about the blog this episode and respond to some of the feedback I have received! Here is a link if you haven’t read the blog yet!

The Brutally Honest 6 Reasons You are Still Overfat

Next I talk about carbs. Do you need them? Yes. They are vital to your health!!!!

Separating your body part by part has been a staple of the fitness industry for years, but is it the best way to train? I argue that no, it is not.

Grip strength is a fantastic assessment of your health and as more research is done exploring this it is a little known thing that you should know about!!

I fell out of love with Personal Training many years ago and I finally feel that the rest of the fitness community is starting to open up their eyes! This episode I share my thoughts and here is a link to an awesome blog by my wife chatting about the subject!

RIP Private Personal Training

There it is! Episode 15! Thanks for taking the time to listen and as always, if you want me to cover anything in a future episode please send your requests my way!

Should you be sore, sitting will kill you, importance of eating before and after exercise, trainers shouldn’t hawk you products, and why heels are terrible.

Welcome to episode 14 of Coach Taylor Radio!

As always – a huge thank you to those listening – it is my goal always to deliver great fitness information to you and I am honoured you spend some of your valuable time listening along!

This episode:

Importance of eating before and after exercise: yes – you HAVE to eat immediately after you train! And what you eat before you train can have a huge impact as well!

Should you be sore: Bootcamp instructors around the world will cringe at this – but you shouldn’t be going for maximal soreness from your workouts!

Heels: the might not ‘kill’ you, but they sure aren’t doing good things to your body

Hawking products: I do not believe that your trainer, coach, or fitness facility should be hawking you products – especially if they come arm in arm with an MLM scheme!!!!

Sitting: some recent research has brought this to everyones attention and really, it is probably worse for you than you realize!!!!! Thank you again for listening! If there is anything you would like to talk about in the future – simply drop me a line or email me HERE and I will rant away!!!!!

Cellulite, resting at the gym, research, waist to hip ratio, and fat loss wraps.

Welcome to episode 12 of Coach Taylor Radio!

After an awesome fat loss seminar last week I wanted to pull in a few of the topics that were discussed because I feel they are UBER important!!!

Cellulite: what is it? Why do you have it? What can you do about it??

To rest or not to rest?  That is the question people ask everyday as we see many people hunched over their smartphones between sets. Should you be taking a break or going non-stop through your program?

Research: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE listen to this segment. It is important! In the fitness world – question everything! This is the reason why!

Waist to hip ratio: Better than BMI or your scale!

Fat loss wraps: do they meet the claims? Should you be buying them? And thats a wrap! Thank you to everyone who tunes in – I appreciate each and every one of you! As always – if you have questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to drop a line!

If there is anything you would like me to include in upcoming episodes I a would love to hear!

-Coach Taylor

Gluten free, sitting too much, BMI sucks, and redefining strength training.

Welcome to episode 11 of Coach Taylor Radio! This episode we are discussing:

BMI – what is the body mass index and is it really all that useful to you?

Gluten free eating – what is all the buzz about? Preview – I think it’s ridiculous.

Sitting – you are doing it right now and it is terrible for you. Sitting is the new smoking.

Strength training – I think the phrase turns a lot of people off even though it it the most important thing they should be doing everyday. What can we do to help redefine this misunderstood concept?! As always – thank you for listening in! I would love feedback! Especially if there is something awesome you want me to talk about or any questions you might want answered! Always happy to provide lots of information. Email me HERE.

-Stupid fitness stuff. There is so much crap out there in the fitness world and some of it you might even think is good for you!

-The Paleo diet – really it is just another nutrition plan like all the others yet it continues to grow in popularity. Find out the REAL way to eat Paleo!!

-A few exercises you should never do, some you may want to do, and some that might not be right for you!
