Paul and Ryan go over Paul's favorite chart, which covers self-determination theory. This includes the process of shifting from relying on extrinsic motivation towards being intrinsically motivated. Without this shift it is very difficult to consistently make it to the gym over long periods of time, since external factors are outside of our control. 

Here's a link to the chart we refer to in today's episode: https://imgur.com/a/WvvERvl

This week we have Amanda LaCroix on the podcast to talk about women in the fitness industry. Amanda graduated from Springfield College in 2016 with an Exercise Science degree and is Kettlebell Certified and Girls Gone Strong Pre- and Post-Natal Certified. Amanda works behind the scenes at Resilient Training Lab. She handles everything with the newsletter, blog, podcast, and billing. If you ever have a question about anything at RTL, you can contact her.  In this episode, she talks with Paul and Ryan about how she got started with lifting weights, why she wanted to become a coach, and some of the obstacles women face when it comes to starting to lift weights. They also touch on the shortage of female coaches, why that is, and how we can get more females involved in the health and fitness industry. Amanda also talks about training the pre- and post-natal woman and how important it is to have a supportive, helpful coach to help you navigate your training during that time.
