That's right... the LEGENDARY Dr. John Rusin is in the house!

I had the pleasure of taking John's Pain-free training certification earlier this year and it was filled with so many amazing knowledge bombs that I HAD to have him on the show.

John is a Doctor of Physical Therapy but has spent his career training high level athletes.  

What I love about this approach is that its focused on performance but longevity as well.

You guys are going to learn a ton here and I'm extremely excited for you!

IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:

-Why you should stop training like someone else

-The reason you should focus on pulling exercises vs. pushing

-What the most common causes of injury are

-The true pyramid of recovery

Has the typical "I want to get in shape" resolution ever actually worked out?

Let's make this year a little different.

You with me?

In this episode I give you some NEW resolutions to consider.  Ones that will actually set you up for long term success.

Hope this helps!

Also:

If you struggle to get your veggies in, you should def try Organifi.

Its a greens powder that packs all your daily veggie needs in one scoop.

If you want to try it out, go ahead and use discount code: Mitch15 for 15% off any products.

Does the fitness industry ever make you kinda... not want to work out?

Sometimes I can't stand it.

It's why I never saw myself having a career in fitness.

Then I thought... well maybe I can help facilitate some change.

This is why I brought on my guest, Chris Colditz aka @coldcutz20 this week.

To bring another perspective on and show you that it doesn't have to be that serious!

Chris talks about how he went down the route of being a competitor and realized being shredded wasn't as cool as it looks.

We also talk about how he doesn't work out how everyone expects him to, he does what he loves.

For him, that's jumping.

Hopefully you take away from this that fitness doesn't have to be all about bench pressing and taking shirtless selfies!

It can be whatever you want it to be.  Whatever makes YOU feel good!

It's that time of year!

Whatever we haven't accomplished yet this year seems like a great addition to next years plan.

My question is....

Y tho???????

Why can't you accomplish anything in this last month?

Why can't you start something now?

What is stopping you besides the fact that the year is going to change?

My friends, if you get one thing out of this episode I hope its that you stop underestimating what you can accomplish in a short period of time.

Don't let up!

You'll thank me in 2019!

Probably one of my favorite interviews!

It's not often we get to hear from someone that went out and TRIED to get out of shape...

Not only that but its not often we get to hear about the weight loss process through the eyes of a trainer!

In this episode, Eric Northington, Co-Owner of Northington Fitness and Nutrition talks all about his journey on the show "Fit 2 Fat 2 Fit".

On this show Eric purposely gained close to 50 pounds by eating 7000-8000 calories a day and was not allowed to exercise.

Talk about empathy!

Eric learned firsthand the struggles so many of us go through with our health and we get to hear all about it today!

IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:

-How gaining all that weight changed things for Eric

-What Eric did every day to get his calories up(hint: what not to do to lose weight)

-Where people should start their fitness journey vs. where he used to think people should start

-How to actually build quality muscle and learn the skill of weight lifting

Belief has been by far the biggest game changer for me.  It's something that is beneficial in literally every single area of your life, yet most of us neglect to work on it.

In this episode I give you 5 easy steps to build belief in yourself!

We also talk a little about my company Savage Oats, as today is the first day its available online!

If you'd like to buy some head to www.savageoats.com 

You may have seen him recently on LIVE with Kelly and Ryan.

You may have seen him on other local news broadcasts.

You may have seen some of his clients in the biggest TV shows out there.

This weeks guest, Joey Thurman(@joeythurmanfit), is a Celebrity Trainer, author, TV host, and most importantly a Husband and Father.

Really enjoyed chatting it up with my man Joey!

He's got some amazing tips regarding fitness and nutrition but also keeps it real with everyone about some issues he's been struggling with.

Of course, we discuss what its like training celebrities and getting them ready for TV and movies as well!

You're going to love this one!

A lot of the issues I see in health and fitness are peoples plans not matching their goals.

Most people just want to look and feel a little better, yet they start out trying to train like a pro athlete.

Its no surprise that they then quit after a couple weeks.

It shouldn't be that way though!

This episode is all about getting clear on what you actually want and figuring out a plan thats right for YOU.

Have you ever felt confused when it comes to health/ fitness?  

Ok, sorry, that was a dumb question...

OF COURSE YOU HAVE!  We all have.

Why?  Because the industry is full of a lot of garbage.

Thankfully we have people like our guest today to help fight that battle for you.

This weeks guest, Yiannis Fleming(@mrsportofficial) is putting out some of the best content out there to help save you from all the garbage in the industry.

His account alone will help you understand all you REALLY need to know when it comes to losing weight.

He also specializes in weight cutting sports, so if you're in that niche he has you covered as well.

Plus, he's got one of the funniest accounts out there, which made for a blast of a conversation that I know you'll enjoy!

IN THIS PODCAST WE DISCUSS:

-What REALLY happens when you lower carb intake

-The truth about eggs

-How to tell the difference between a credible article and a bullshit one

-Advice on getting over the short term mindset of weight loss

Something I want us all to be more aware of is where we're just masking our problems.

Are we super tired all the time?

Always sick?

Overweight?

Instead of endless cups of coffee, constant dayquil/ ibuprofen, and juice cleanses.... lets make this the year we finally start correcting these issues.

I talk about some ways to start on this process, as well as some struggles I've dealt with.
