The 1% Better Method

Today I bring on Kylie Thompson, also known as my girlfriend. She has an extensive history with athletics, including state championships in track and field and a division one college soccer career. 

Her athletic career has recently come to an abrupt end. Years of stress on her knees has caused a defect in her cartilage. Her injury is career-ending and is awaiting her second knee surgery. 

In this episode, Kylie goes into her decision of getting surgery, the pros and cons of ending her college career, and what this decision has made her realize about her future. 

Enjoy!

Todays Guest is Sean McDevitt aka the fitnessshaman. 

Sean has a really unique background of growing up in LA, swimming in college at the University of Georgia, and now an online coach based out of Austin, Texas.  

Sean is a big believer in communication. Which is why I brought him on the show to dive into relationships and fitness. 

There can be a ton of guilt when one side of a relationship decides to get healthier and the other doesn’t. Some struggle to justify an investment towards living a healthier lifestyle as well. Sean gives some excellent insight on how to approach this decision and some personal experience with this matter.

Today’s episode is about apologizing. 

The phrase “I’m sorry” gets said more and more each day without any purpose. 

People apologize for very silly things and the term has almost lost its meaning. 

I brought Jessica and Kylie on to discuss this overused phrase and to show you how to start catching yourself when you are saying it or when you actually mean it. 

Enjoy :)

I decided I wanted to learn how to backflip my senior year of college (Fall 2018). Once I learned it, it implanted confidence in myself that has never left. 

I don’t do backflips to show off. I don’t do them because it’s the best feeling in the world. I do them because it is a constant reminder that I am a confident person. I do them to battle that stupid voice in my head that I start to believe. 

I do them to stay in the present moment as much as possible and decide from that point on what every happens is completely up to me. I do them as a constant reminder to not take myself so seriously. 

Life is short. I’m not going to be a young/able body my whole life. 

But I will train my body like an athlete until a doctor tells me not to haha.

Backflips reinstate that belief.

So if you ever catch me doing a backflip on the golf course, trust me, it's for me, not you!

In this episode, I dive Into an embarrassing story that made me the person I am today. 

We all get impatient. I was getting very impatient with my results and wasn't looking at the right factors. 

This stupid mistake was the eye-opener I needed to become the best version of myself.

Today I have the Privilege to bring on my long-time client Kyle. 

Kyle started with me 10 months ago wanting to lose weight and get a grip on his health. 

He is now:

• repping out muscle-ups 
• holding handstands 
• cycling for 11 miles at a time
• Holding a 8-sec handstand 
• In complete control of his nutrition 

Kyle came to me lost, trying programs like INSANITY and was always guilty for starting and stopping after 2 weeks

Kyle’s story is really inspiring and it was a pleasure to have him on the show!

Kyles Testimonial 

“I can honestly say, at 26 years old, I am in the best of my life. In 3 months, I was able to lose 15lbs. I have my first ever REAL 6 pack. Although that was cool to see, it was even crazier to see my strength change. I can now do 100 push-ups without leaving the full plank position. I can do 10 consecutive muscle-ups, 25+ consecutive pull-ups, and freestyle push-ups that I never thought I would be able to do. My core strength has improved like crazy as well. A 4 minute plank is like nothing and holding a 1 minute boat hold is easy. I can even hold a 8:20 minute mile for 5 miles. My overall body composition has completely shifted. As cliche as this sounds, I now feel like I wake up and piss excellence haha. Anyone can go on the internet and download workout programs, meal plans, etc. That might get you started, but what keeps you going is a good coach to push and challenge you each week. That was my favorite service that Austin provided. No matter where I was in my program, he always found new ways to challenge me to be a better person every day, mentally and physically.” - Kyle
