Ok. This is an important one. I am going to explode some core tenants of the fitness industry. In a massive way. 

Some things that you believe - have always believed - are told constantly - that health and fitness LIVES by....are TOTALLY wrong. 

There are 5 main things I discuss. To get you interested - setting goals. Setting goals is a STAPLE belief in health and fitness but in actuality setting goals is an almost GUARANTEED way to ensure you NEVER change your habits and lifestyle permanently.  WHAT?  Yep. And that's not all!!! More in the episode!  THEN - on the next episode, 139, I am going to DIVE DEEP into WHY everything you have been told is just totally wrong and won't help you change your life. 

Here we go......

-Coach Taylor 

This week I wanted to share with you something a little bit different! 

This is a guest lecture I gave to an undergraduate University class about healthy aging. 

In particular I talk about how strength, mobility, and the issues with how we currently do things. 

If you are 40+, or have parents or grandparents I HIGHLY recommend listening. I break down a lot of myths as well as provide good direction on what people SHOULD be doing as they age! 

-Coach Taylor

I felt it coming on before I started. Some classic Coach Taylor ranting....

Look - you shouldn't feel guilty eating pineapples or bananas, you should NEVER weigh yourself, and you should focus on the basics before you do anything crazy for your fitness. 

Right there...see? Full on life advice. Done. 

For anyone who listens and wants to jump into the anti diet...click the link:

A recent comment from a client really stuck with me: 'the anti diet is like learning a new language.' But in all honesty, it is just learning HOW humans are supposed to eat. 

In our modern culture, however, everything is SO overly complicated that learning the real way we should eat can seem like another language. 

Also going over nutrition myths and how to fatten up puppies and babies! 

-Coach Taylor 

This week I am on a body image mindset. People hate what their bodies look like to the point that they miss out on life. It's really, really sad. Is there a way to change this? 

Also, let's discuss what is better for you: strength or power and how you can best train your body for making the most out of life.

My Weekly Email!

I don't say this often....but I REALLY mean it here. 

You HAVE to listen to this episode. The first half is a TON of ranty swearing...that is all important. 

BUT. Around min 28-ish......I go into THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I HAVE EVER PUT IN A PODCAST. Ever. 

You have been gaslit. And you are living in a perpetual state of guilt for a lot of things that are NOT your fault! The longer you go not diving through this the harder and harder it will be to take care of your health.  AND. You need to help me. Help me get this message out.  EVERYONE needs to hear it. Share the hell out of this for me and HELP ME get out the truth. Help me get people's minds out of the trap. 

This is the only way we can effect change. Working together. 

-Coach Taylor 

Last week I brought back the burpee love and in the process had people dig up a TON of fitness myths. Figured this week I would go through each and every one and share the Coach Taylor thoughts on it!  What do I cover: 

Low carb diet

Counting reps

Circuit training

Don’t need to go to a gym to get in shape be healthy

Beach body

Cardio machines

Online machine based group fitness

App fitness routines with 'trainers'

HITT ( a LOT of guesses here)

Stretching not needed

Cook Downs

Intermittent Fasting

Pre and pro biotics

Training Like Olypmpians not best way to stay fit

Fitness is a myth - you should go to McDonalds

Rest Days

Fruit makes you fat

Spandex are the new sweatpants

Exercise is medicine movement - doctors prescribing exercise

Specialized fitness programs

Nothing wrong with pre packaged food - some of it can be good

Don’t need to buy equipment

That should do it!

The burpee. Is it really that bad? I don't think it is and I think it SHOULD have a place in your fitness program. 

I have become anti anti-burpee. The whole fitness world is on fire trashing the burpee but I think they are really, really, wrong. 

And on that note.....you need to listen because you might not be as strong or as fit as you think you are! 

Over the last couple of months I have found some glaring gaps in the fitness industry. Even people who workout regularly or excel at a specific activity are often missing some basic strength. Second half of this episode I dive deep and tell you how to find out if this is you!

No. Putting your knees on the ground during a pushup is NOT a good thing! You should be able to do pushups and there is a better way! 

Also chat about cold training - it's been a bit over blown and is powerful in ways that most people don't understand! 

And let's take a look at your pantry...it CAN be stocked with healthy food and not reliant on the the processed industry!!!!
