This episode first aired 21 December 2020 14 Days Of Fat Loss Free Guide https://briankeanefitness.com/quick-links/ Today's solo podcast is a training deep dive. It goes through everything you need to know when it comes to training, cardio and creating your own workout program. If you struggle with the training side of weight or fat loss and body composition, then this episode is not to be missed. This is a companion piece to podcast 291 Nutrition Deep Dive. Together they will give you everything you need to create your own diet and training program based on your goals. Episode Outline ∙ Getting clear on the goal and different training styles that complement them ∙Training for body composition–what I do in BKF online program: hypertrophy, Circuits, HIIT or finishers ∙ Push, pull, legs vs full body vs upper lower training splits. The pros and cons of each ∙ NEAT and why you don't need exercise to lose weight ∙ HIIT or LISS cardio pros and cons ∙ The benefits of a gym and getting over gym anxiety (what to do, what I advise and what I do in programs) ∙ Experimenting with various training styles to see what you enjoy the most ∙ How to design your own training programs–exercise choice, reps, sets, rest, tempo ∙ Following an influencer program vs creating your own vs working with a coach Key Points ∙When it comes to your training, very similar to nutrition, you can't hit a target you can't see; so get clear on the goal from the front-end, and then you can apply the different training styles on the back-end. In a way, making sure you hit a particular fitness goal requires you to work backwards to make the process easier to swallow. You're essentially building a structure from the ground-up, the foundation of that structure being your end-goal. The amount and type of cardio, weight training, and other routines you need to incorporate depend upon having the correct foundation and knowing how to build upon it. ∙There is no "best" training or nutrition program out there. The right workout and diet plan for you depend entirely on your preferences, lifestyle, and specific goals. It begins with getting clear on the nutritional plan that is sustainable for you. From there, you create a training regimen around it that accomplishes the fitness goal you're after while being conducive to the type of exercises that your body responds best to, your schedule, and other lifestyle considerations. ∙Perhaps just as important as finding the right style of training that works for you, is sticking with training that you enjoy. Sometimes it comes at the expense of certain goals. For example, Brian loves weight training even if it's counterproductive to performing at his best as an endurance athlete. But he enjoys it, so he's willing to sacrifice his goal of being the best runner. There is no right or wrong choice. The only question is: Which goal do you want bad enough?

Shona is a personal trainer and yoga teacher with over 420k followers on Instagram and one of the most popular yoga channels in the UK on YouTube.

Shona's method, developed during her decade of teaching, combines weighted resistance training and cardio with her life-long passions - yoga and meditation – placing just as much importance on rest and recovery as hours in the gym in the pursuit of fitness.

We got through so much in this episode and it's definitely one I will be going back over; so I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed recording it.

Here are some of the things we talked about in today's show:

• What got her into health and fitness whilst growing up in Australia
• How she moved from a 1:1 training into social media and the UK culture and weather shock
• Why your body is a temple, not a gym and the importance of using fitness to enhance your experience of life, not dominate it.
• How over-identifying with your body can lead you down a path of unhappiness that will catch up with you when you're injured, aged, or ill.
• The reason fitness should never come at the cost of health.
• How fitness is a celebration of what your body can do and an opportunity to push it into adaptation, another amazing feature of this human life. It's not about repenting for perceived dietary or lifestyle sins.
• Using science to guide but not override what you're feeling.
• Let the magic ten guide your next steps.
• And much more..

This episode first aired 30 November 2020 14 Days Of Fat Loss Free Guide https://briankeanefitness.com/quick-links/ In this episode, Brian speaks with Mabel Katz, a speaker, author, and seminar leader who is internationally acclaimed and recognized as the main authority on Ho'oponopono, an ancient Hawaiian art to obtain greater clarity in order to better achieve objectives to live and work effectively. Mabel is the world's number one Hispanic speaker, with over 200,000 subscribers on YouTube, more than 783,000 followers on Facebook, and more than 122,000 followers on Instagram. Her ability to radically change people's lives through her system of getting them back to Zero Frequency has garnered this global adulation. Zero Frequency is the state of erasing all of the self-sabotaging beliefs, memories, negative thoughts, worries and dissonant emotions that interfere with living from the state of complete presence, total inspiration and peace. Mabel has brought her formula to the world in her new book Zero Frequency®, The Easiest Way to Peace, Happiness and Abundance which we dive into during today's podcast. Listen is as Mabel discusses how to overcome fear and do it anyway, the link between expectations and unhappiness, why accepting yourself is the key to disconnecting with the opinions of others, why you need to forgive others if you want to find true peace, why thinking is an addiction and the power of being present, and getting yourself back to the baseline of zero frequency. Episode outline ∙ Mabel's background and what brought her down her current path ∙What is "zero frequency"? ∙Why we all have that voice in our heads that tells us we're not good enough ∙ Fighting past fear to do it anyway ∙ Bringing our subconscious programming to the forefront ∙ Letting go of expectations ∙ Changing the trajectory of your life today by accepting yourself and listening to your heart ∙ The most common way people self-sabotage ∙ Why we struggle to forgive ∙ Freeing ourselves from the comparison trap ∙ Practicing abundance Key points ∙The idea behind zero frequency is to avoid reacting to whatever challenges life throws at you. You will always have problems. That is what life is all about. We are here to learn and become better people. The problem is not the problem itself, but your reaction to the problem. As human beings, it is okay to be bothered, but by going right back to the baseline of zero frequency right away, we can nip negativity in the bud. With zero frequency, we can examine any event objectively through a neutral lens that allows us to shed any semblance of victim mentality and proceed in a proactive manner. ∙Zero frequency is about living a more conscious life and understanding what is in the moment, right now. Whenever you experience fear, realize that these emotions are being triggered by past events that may or may not have anything to do with what is happening right now. However you decide to act, the very first thing to do is to not allow your subconscious to dictate your next step for you, and take back control. ∙The only place you can find true freedom, happiness, and peace is within yourself. Do not depend on anything or anybody else to be happy. By being at peace with yourself, you become a magnet for those opportunities that are perfect for you. We have the power within ourselves to manifest whatever is truly important to us, so we do ourselves a disservice to look for that power in other things or other people. Make the decision today to accept yourself, no matter your perception of your present circumstances. Your life will instantly transform for the better.

This episode first aired on 09 November 2020 14 Days Of Fat Loss Free Guide https://briankeanefitness.com/quick-links/ In this episode, Brian speaks with Isabella Robinson, a Registered Associate Nutritionist (ANutr), certified Intuitive eating counsellor and qualified Nutritional Therapist (BANT, CNHC) with a special interest in disordered eating, food anxieties, body image and nutrition for mental health. Listen as Isabella dives deep into managing disordered eating, the problem with diet culture, and handling food addiction. Episode Outline ∙ Isabella's journey as a nutritionist ∙ A common misconception about sugar ∙ Where misconceptions come from ∙ Eliminating "diet mentality" ∙ Helping a client who claims to have a certain food "addiction" (i.e. chocolate) ∙ Isabella's thoughts on intuitive eating and common myths around it ∙ Confusing hunger with other emotions or physical sensations ∙ Factors that lead to eating disorders ∙ What Isabella is most excited about right now ∙Beware of headlines. The food industry profits off of misinformation and misconceptions that many people today have around nutrition. It helps greatly to double-check certainly modern beliefs about food: Are all calories created equal? Is a potato just sugar? If you have specific health or fitness goals, it's best to consult with a nutritionist. ∙Beware of diet mentality. A lot of people may not be on a labelled diet, but they do adopt the mindset of a dieter. It's important to be aware of the psychology behind certain beliefs or punishments that rule your interactions with food. For instance, having "a little extra" because you ate a slice of cake and "ruined" the day is one of the biggest sabotagers in one's path to living a consistently healthier lifestyle. Having "addictions" to certain foods like chocolate warrant a closer look as well: Perhaps you're just placing chocolate on a pedestal because you've put it on the "forbidden list"? The common thread between all of these thoughts is a tendency to blame ourselves as helpless when it comes to eating healthier, which does nothing more than lead us down a vicious cycle of making the wrong choices and subsequently punishing ourselves for them. ∙The key to intuitive eating is aiming toward authentic well-being. This holistic approach to food requires you to take what your body is communicating to you in real-time and blend that with objective, scientific principles on nutrition, instead of simply looking for a one-size-fits-all diet.
