In this episode, I break down 6 powerful solutions that will help you improve your squat technique — whether you’re someone who squats at the gym, someone who avoids squats altogether, or someone who doesn’t lift weights but still wants to move safely at home.

You might not love squats for the same reasons I didn’t throughout most of my 20s. After years of heavy lifting in my teens playing football, I stepped away from heavy squats because of discomfort, fear, and poor mechanics. In this episode, I share exactly what changed for me… and the adjustments that helped me bring squatting back into my life without pain.

These 6 tips will absolutely improve your quality of life — just like they did for mine — because:

1. You’ll finally understand that squatting is a normal, everyday human movement. When you optimize this pattern, you become more confident and more comfortable in your own body. We squat constantly at home without even noticing it.

2. Your legs, back, and glutes will start feeling better. Good squat mechanics teach you what muscles need to be strong and active, reducing your risk of injury at the gym and at home. When you understand your own body, everything from your hips to your lower back works and feels better.

If this episode inspires you to finally fix your squat technique and build more confidence in your lower-body training, check out my program Learn How To Squat — the step-by-step system designed to teach you proper form, improve mobility, and eliminate the pain and stiffness holding you back.

It is important to have strong glutes because this will help prevent back pain or help improve your current training routines. If training your glutes is something that has not been a priority in the past it should.

I was having a conversation with one of my clients a few months back when we were talking about exercises and stretches you can do every single day because it is similar to brushing your teeth or taking a shower or using the bathroom. A new term came up that I like to use regularly now and that is the term physical hygiene. 

This means the exercises and stretches that are necessary for you to do on a daily basis to fight off pain, stiffness or disease. Instead of waiting until 3pm or doing a "1 hour workout" just do lifestyle spurts throughout your life. These add up just like other forms of hygiene. This is great for people who are tight on time, don't know what to do for a longer routine, or just don't like the idea of having to workout all the time. 

I get asked regularly what I think is the most optimal or best form of exercise. What should I be doing that is the best bang for my buck? I do feel like I have a pretty confident answer but I wanted to create a new episode and share my thoughts on some interesting things I found before recording this new episode. 

When coming up with this new episode I came up with 12 + reasons as to why I thought what I did about what is the most optimal for of physical Hygiene.

There are many reasons you may not be working out or at the gym. You might be financially tight, you might not like any of the facilities in the area, you might not be a fan of going to the gym at all. You might be a beginner, you might be new to the area, or you are unsure what to do. There are many reasons not to be on top of your fitness, but one thing is for sure you do not need a gym or equipment to be strong, lean and in shape.

I am here to assure you that you do not need to go into a crowded space or force yourself into the fitness scene if you dont want to. But, I am here to tell you that you have to figure out what works best for you in regards to your health & fitness because it is mandatory. The choices and the strategies you take are optional, but the human body needs exercise in order to function properly.

In this episode I go over tips on what I think is the best thing to do if any of these things are keeping you from the gym. 

In this episode, I talk about my favorite resistance training methods! There are many types of resistance training methods that you can utilize for yourself or when you are working with clients. The type of methods you use depends on where you are in your fitness journey, what goals you are trying to accomplish, do you have any injuries, whats your body type is, whats your interest level, the list continues. Understanding this information will help you for your workouts at home or at the gym!

When I posted on Instagram I was only limited to 8! So I had to make the tough choice in selecting my favorite 8. Even though there are more than 8 methods that I love to use, in this episode, I breakdown each technique so that you have a better understanding of what you may or may not be doing in your own workouts!

I figured explaining this would be better than just Instagram so here it is! I hope you enjoy!

In this episode, we have special guest on the show Phil Bakis! One of my brothers from another mother. We are from the same hometown, Stamford, Connecticut. Phil is a Teacher, Coach, Artist, & Family Man and we share a lot of the same passions.

I wanted to have Phil on the show for a variety of reasons. Phil is very talented, funny, crafty & in my opinion a master of the english language. One of the best rhymers & creative thinkers I have ever met. One of Phils interests is standup comedy & he makes everyone around him laugh. I believe Phil has a lot to offer!

I think being a teacher is very entrepreneurial and we go over this in more detail through the episode. Teachers may not realize this but with their job they have a built in perfect routine. What you do with this routine is up to each individual, but being a teacher has the potential to be such a special calling when done right. 

We discuss whats going on in our lives, and we share some valuable insight about business, routines, fitness, routine & more!

The difference between Meal Planning & Meal Prepping is huge. Maintaining a good diet & nutritious routine is very mental. People will neglect their health & well-being for their goals & careers, which is why it is so important you take control of the situation. That is simply an excuse.

Neglecting your health & well-being even when you are busy and goal oriented is not correct. Your health & fitness is mandatory wether you prioritize it or not. Your body says so. It isn't by choice. 

If you don't make time for your health & fitness because of other distractions in your life then you lack the organizational and planning skills at this present time and have something you need to work on. Is everyone perfect absolutely not, but we all want to strive to be the best version of ourselves. 

If you are busy, on the go, goal oriented and you struggle to be consistent with your health, food, nutrition, fitness than this is the episode for you.

In this episode I share simple lifestyle changes that will help your body to flow better and keep extra weight off of your body. 

Weight loss is a side effect of healthy habits. Many use aging as an excuse when in reality, wear and tear comes natural to anything that you do/use. Any item or task we do will have some type of wear and tear effect, some depreciation. So why do so many use age as an excuse when in reality if you just do the things that are required to maintain yourself then age is irrelevant.

When I work with my clients who are focused on weight loss or fat loss I try to teach them healthy habits. Focus on doing these correctly and weight loss is a side effect. Being overweight is not natural and shouldn't be trophied. Body shaming is not cool, but encouraging someone being overweight is not correct. 

In this episode what may seem obvious is not executed that way. Many people do the opposite of what I share in this episode. 

Many people don't like training in hot environments. Most people like to be in AC, or under a fan, in comfy clothes. While in theory you can get stronger, and get great results being in these settings, but there are serious benefits to working out in hot environments. In this episode I share some of my insight as to why this would be a good idea!

Before we get into this topic,  I share some valuable lessons that I think everyone would benefit from and that is to get started today. Get started today on a project, relationship, a goal or whatever it is you want TODAY! People don't appreciate what they have and take their time for granted. The biggest regret you will have in your life at the end of the road is "what if". We can live with failures but we can't live with doubt of regret!

I give some valuable insights into these topics!
