Sometimes shit comes up that stops us from eating healthy and exercising.  There’s a difference between shit happening versus you choosing other shit!  I’m here with a tough-love podcast. 

Sometimes stuff does come up that you can’t control: getting sick, kids getting sick, unexpected work scheduling, car trouble… the list is endless.  This falls into the category of shit happens.  

*If you’re not in the mood for some tough-love or truth bombs you may want to hop off the Podcast now… 

Then there is YOU CHOOSING OTHER SHIT. Not going to the gym because your friend invited you at the last minute dinner, lunch, or happy hour.  Maybe you are thinking you need a break from a long, tough day; maybe you decide to slack off and skip the gym.  Maybe you don’t have a schedule: you’ve got life, family, and work.  These are things that happen and it’s because things do happen, it’s important for us to NOT TO CHOOSE other shit (slacking off) when you can.

Many people who have problems come up a

Do this Before you buy any Supplements

Let’s talk about the multi-billion dollar industry of supplements.  I have three things you should consider before you BUY any supplements and three tips purchasing supplements.  The government does not regulate the supplement industry. Meaning supplements won’t get pulled off the shelves unless several people get injured after digesting these supplements.  But we never know what is actually in these supplements, so what do we do?

Sometimes these supplements are labeled as being a proprietary blend. That means, they are adding other stuff, but you don’t really know what you are getting.  Supplements only make up 3% of your overall progress and development.You don’t really need all of these things if they’re unregulated or untested.  There are a lot of studies out there that support this, if you’re doubting. The 3% of your progress there are only 3 supplements that give you a what you need: a solid protein, casein, or creatine.

 I’ve heard a lot of people that say they’re “too old” to workout and lose weight.  Age ain’t nothing but a number!  

As we get older, we do go through changes and lose muscle mass and pack on some pounds.  Maybe you got comfortable, you go the job you want, you got married… maybe you just eat an extra helping of whatever.  No big deal! It’s never too late to start a healthy lifestyle to combat the aging process.  

It’s a common belief that old age packs on the weight… well this is only partly true.  The other part is, your metabolism changes, but you can definitely do something about it.  Some people seem to think just because they never worked out means they can’t now.  This is not true!  It’s never to late!  Your health journey is yours and can start at any age.  Don’t let the excuses of age get in your way, start your journey.

I turned 31 and I realized I’ve been training people for four years!  So here are five tips that have helped me grow my company, goals, and be the best version of myself. 

 

Tip  1: Keep people who are going places around you.

You are the company you keep, the people you choose to surround yourself will impact you.  So, lets say that you have friends who party too much and don’t take care of themselves. You will pick up on some of those habits, it happens.  You may think you are a ‘lone wolf’ and ‘independent person’ there are a bunch of articles that address how the company you keep affects your life. 

 

Tip 2: Work harder & smarter. 

I remember when I first started this business, I spent HOURS learning to edit video, editing photos and continuing to learn my craft.  People always ask me when am I g

Taking Care of Yourself Means Taking Care of Others

Putting yourself last is something that my clients always mention. My demographic is women and a lot of moms, so I frequently hear “I just put myself last”.  At the same time, many of my clients are struggling with health related issues at early ages.  Here’s my thinking about this: Putting yourself last is not always the best option. 

 

First, I’m obviously not a mom and I understand that as a parent you do have responsibilities.  This is my opinion and hopefully I can give you some times regardless of your life schedule. 

 

Helping yourself means helping others.  What does that mean?  If you’re constantly kicking the healthy habits can down the road, where is your health going to end up? Where will these issues be in a few years and how will they impact the people around you?

Theory has amazing coffee and is a food truck!  If you’ve been following me, you know that I love a good coffee.  I started coming here when I moved my gym and haven’t stopped.  Mark has owned Theory for 3 years and they are located on 410/Nacogdoches.  They brew coffee imported from Austin and support local business.  The coffee is straight forward with a simple menu, but we feature a single origin as a brewed coffee and have a full espresso bar.  

The people is what drive Theory to continue to do what they do.  They love being part of their clients’ routines, lives and strive to provide that coffee-house feel from a food truck. Check them out when you’re in the neighborhood!

Yo! I’m not a licensed therapist, I just talk about real shit that’s happened to my clients and me.

Today’s episode is brought to you by carbs: Bread… right now Dave’s Killer’s Bread is Rosie’s favorite.

Rosie is one of my Master level athlete that has been kicking ass in the gym. Today we are going to talk about lifting at the age of 50+ and becoming a ‘fitness’ person later in life. It’s never to late to start your fitness journey!

Rosie grew up on a farm and worked long-hard hours with her dad and sister. Growing up with hard work and functional strength has allowed her to adapt to power lifting easily. Around age 18/19, she moved to town and left physical labor. She talks about how she partied a bunch and how she joined a small gym/bar. She lost 100 pounds and then got married and had kids. With her pregnancies she gained a lot of weight and struggled to find time for herself. The weight started packing on and she adapted to family life.

Rosie found Total Body Training after realizing she needed to change after losing her mom and sister to health issues. At first, it was

I started balding when I was 12 years old. And it really sucked LOL! I got picked on 4 years about losing my hair when I was just a teenager. It was a really tough time in my life and it led to a lot of self-doubt. Losing my hair affected my body image which also affected my personal decision making for my life. This episode I talk about that experience and how I was able to solve that issue by shaving my head. Which ultimately changed my entire life.

Struggling to stick to your fitness goals? It might be because you are dealing with F.O.M.O. Fear of missing out.

Struggling to stick to your fitness goals? It might be because you are dealing with F.O.M.O. Fear of missing out. Here is my experience with this. I remember struggling with sticking to my goals. Anytime something came up I would just drop my goals to indulge whatever activity I wanted to do. While going to these activities was a fun they always slowed down progress in other more key areas of my life. Like my health, fitness or life goals. It took me along to resolve this issue but when I finally did I felt happier. In this podcast I talk about F.O.M.O. and what helped me overcome it. Hopefully, it will help you too 😊
