The Maximus Podcast

Your level of fitness is affected by more than just how much or how hard you train. Your nutrition plays a huge role in your results. If you feel like you’re spinning your wheels in the gym or you feel like you’re not making the progress you feel you deserve chances are there’s something wrong with the way you fuel your body. A few adult beverages a night and fast food isn’t the way to the body of your dreams. In this episode of “The Maximus Podcast” your hosts Joe Cebula and Bobby Maximus lay out some nutritional rules that will help you build a good foundation of health and wellness. It’s not rocket science, and it may seem like simple advice you already know, but chances are you aren’t doing this so pay attention.

Fear is a liar. It controls almost every aspect of our lives. It clouds our judgment and influences our lives much more than we realize. It determines our career path who we marry and the dreams we decide to follow or the dreams we choose to let die. In Episode 21 of “The Maximus Podcast” Joe Cebula and Bobby Maximus discuss why being afraid can potentially be a good thing, how to use the fear response to your advantage, and how to keep it from ruining your life.

Most of our podcasts we’ve dedicated to psychology and the strengthening of the mind. We didn’t neglect the body on purpose. In our opinion real training begins in the mind so we started there first. If you have been listening, taking notes, and incorporating some of the lessons you’ve learned into your life you’re probably finding yourself much more “put together” upstairs. So now it’s time to focus on the body. In this episode of “The Maximus Podcast” your hosts Joe Cebula and Bobby Maximus discuss the basics of setting up a training plan. They discuss goal setting, standards, macro and micro programming. Get your note pad out. This one moves at a fast and furious place.

Life isn’t what happens to you. It’s how you react to it. We may not be able to fully control what the world throws our way but we can control how we internalize the things we experience. Are you stuck in a cycle of negativity? Do you or does someone you know complain about everything? You can break that cycle by “changing the narrative”. How you choose to perceive things is up to. Feelings are not facts so control how you feel and control your level of happiness and fulfillment. In this episode of “The Maximus Podcast” your hosts Joe Cebula and Bobby Maximus teach you how to control the narrative and do a 30 day positivity reset.

“To err is human; to forgive divine”. We’ve all heard the quote but what exactly does it mean? In a nutshell it means that fucking up is easy. Forgiveness, for yourself or others, on the other hand isn’t. Forgiveness takes practice, self work, and time. It’s a hell of a lot more than just saying sorry. In the episode of “The Maximus Podcast” your hosts Joe Cebula and Bobby Maximus discuss the ins and outs of forgiveness. How to get it and how to give it out.
