  • My Favorite Failure
    Today I’m going to get vulnerable & discuss my favorite failure. There is something to taking the most terrible moments in your life and learning from them. The biggest, favorite failure started when I was making music with a band. This is embarrassing, pushed me forward, and change my priorities.
    I was a starting a band and we had a big gig, press was there, the room was filled and something happened. My band mate was not 100% during the performance and I’m livid about how this is playing out. Our music is so sloppy at this time, we cleared the room except the people who will support me no matter what.
    I learned a lot from this experience. What I did well was getting in touch with people and contacting people to come to our shows. I needed to make sure I had a solid product to put out in the world and I should not have contacted other artists or the reporter just yet. We weren’t completely ready to perform that day. I also suffered from self-sabotaging behavior, I knew I could not drink or party as much anymore. Being in the band, in essence, was what pushed me forward in my life.
    It was this moment that I knew I had to move and start over. Fast-forward to today, I’m now a successful gym owner and content creator. I became healthier and a version of myself I strive for and every day I grow and learn from my mistakes.

  • Your Why
    Your Why . It’s been about a year since I’ve brought this up, but it’s important to achieving any of your goals. Most people start off hard, investing a lot of money into supplements and other items, but eventually they fall off their goals because they forget why they started. Workouts and nutrition start to slip and eventually you stop working out altogether. If this is you, you’ve forgot your why. Why you started in the gym in the first place, why you decided to start a fitness journey. The moment you start to feel like slacking off, remember why you started in the first place from a healthy spot. Use your goal to encourage yourself to continue your fitness journey. There are going to be situations that come up to entice you to leave your fitness journey. Start mentally prompting yourself about your reason why you decided to start a fitness journey. Continue to remember your why when you feel like giving up!

  • I've Tried Everything
    I've Tried Everything  I’ve Tried Everything! I get this a lot, people tell me that they’ve been doing EVERYTHING to get fit!  Today I’m going to have a tough love episode, so if you’re one of those who haven’t seen results… this is for you.  Before I start on my tips and tricks, lets talk about your training style.  Are you a gym hopper?  A program hopper?  Realistically, you’ve done a lot, maybe not everything, but a lot!  Did you have your fitness & nutrition plan that was built for you?  Or did you just choose healthier options?  Sometimes people start slow and just start eating healthier, but still have about 20 pounds to go.  This is when you want a nutrition program that’s tailored to you.  Invest in someone who is knowledgeable and has degrees in nutrition to help you navigate nutrition to lose that last layer of love.  Finding someone who works with you, for you, is very important! When you couple good nutrition with good fitness, this is when you will be able to tone up and lose weight.  The fit look that most are looking for can be achieved by working out and a healthy nutrition plan.  Maybe the gym you’re at doesn’t have a plan for you.  If you feel out of place at the gym, don’t feel like you’re seeing results, and you don’t have a custom program… maybe it’s time to reevaluate your fitness plan. Maybe you have the best plans available… did you commit correctly?  Did you follow the plan 100% all the time?  You will really have to take a hard look at if you really committed and stayed consistent.  This year can be different!

  • Interview With Janet Trevino
    I sat down with a professional cuddler Janet Trevino to discuss platonic cuddling and getting comfortable with consensual platonic touch.   Janet Trevino shares her specialty of platonic touch and how instinct drives the need for platonic touch.  She discusses the value of affectionate non-sexual nurturing. As a coach, Janet helps people move through the trauma of the past and into the moment of who they want to be.  Personally, she’s learned for herself that she doesn’t give any thing away things for free.  That means that she has learned to value herself and her time.  The realization that she was doing what she loved, increased confidence, and being public about her passion has helped her and her clients grow in ways unimaginable.  Her practice gives her a renewed since of self and asks her clients to trust her in the process.  We also discuss cuddle parties and what you will expect personally at these events.  These platonic parties are meant to encourage human touch and help others grow and accept touch of other people.  These parties encourage a sense of empowerment and helps people deal with situations in life.  Janet says we are often scared of the no or shame, and platonic touch will help you be okay to be you.  Janet is a wealth of knowledge and loves to share her passion for platonic touch.  She gives us 3 ways to ask for what we need and shares her view of the world.  She challenges you too look at your belief systems and move past them in a healthy way.  Links: https://www.janettrevino.com/

  • Last Minute Resistance
    Latest episode of Total Body Training . Last Minute Resistance It’s been a long day, you are considering skipping the gym because of any excuse.  Today’s topic is for you, we will talk about that last-minute resistance we have about taking care of yourself.  When you feel like giving up or not showing up, this is for you. Working out or starting a new workout routine is difficult and the excuses to skip the gym are running rampant in your head.  I had the problem too!  When I started, I had issues with my time and limited social aspects of my fitness journey.  I’m here to say, that you have to take your health a priority.  Making the adjustment to working out for one hour is a huge task, but if you just go, you will feel better about your choices.  Even at my advanced stage in training, I still get the urge to pass up my workout or yoga in order to do some other stuff.  Now I train in the gym 5 times a week and finding an hour of 30 minutes for yoga is a struggle for me.  I always feel last minute resistance if I think about skipping yoga, but the truth is I just need to time manage better. If you are really struggling getting into the gym, take a hard look at your time management skills and address that situation.  Maybe you legitimately do have some time issues, just make sure you aren’t creating these time limits.  If you take away the friction of time and taking away time, you will feel fantastic if you just go for it and get in the gym!

  • Good Form
    Good form
    This episode is all about good form in the gym.  I asked followers what they wanted to hear, so this is a response to followers’ questions!  When you’re learning basic strength movements, hop on YouTube and check out some pros teach the movements you are interested in learning.  Now there are many people out there who will have some great tips, I’m partial to Juggernaut trainers or my simple videos.
    But Jean, how do we know we are doing it right???
    You can bring the videos with you to the gym and watch it until you are comfortable.  I highly recommend filming yourself from many angles in order to get perspective of your body and squats.  Then compare your video to the movement of professionals.  Mirrors are helpful if you start with no weight, but once you load weight the best way to see form is to record yourself.
    Get a trainer.
    This will help you learn the movement from someone who is educated and useful.  Try to choose someone who is well-seasoned or has credibility in strength training. 
    Here’s your challenge:  if you are struggling to know you are doing your movements correctly.  Record yourself and post it our page and Pam or I will critique your form in a productive way! 
    Until next time… peace!

  • I kinda Sorta Workout

    So, you’ve been working out for a year and you’ve not seen a lot of progress… maybe it’s time to get honest. If you aren’t seeing results after a year of actually working out, don’t complain, get honest about your progress or journey. Maybe the measure to which you measured was not consistent, maybe your gym schedule wasn’t 100% on point, maybe you didn’t lose the weight you wanted too. There are factors that will impact your fitness journey, but today we are discussing how maybe, just maybe you didn’t really set the goal and follow through. 

    Did you show up regularly to your gym? Did you start skipping days during the week? Really get honest at looking at your days you skipped, if you add them all together maybe you’ve missed 18+ days. Here’s the thing, the shittiest program or person who knows nothing about fitness, but committed to the program they could potentially see results if they consistently showed up and put in the work. This is why training is tricky, when you say you’ve tried everything I question them if they were really committed to the program. 

    Here’s my tip: if you need to be accountable, by a giant calendar and every day you go, put a big red G in the box. On the days you missed, write in why you missed. You will see your actually commitment to your fitness program & plan for the excuses that will come up later. This is a great tracking tool to help you stay committed and see the results you want!

    If you have any topics you want me to discuss, or stories to share, we are listening!  Drop a comment or email [email protected] and let me know what you want to hear. Until next time… peace!

  • Interview With Nia Wesley

    Today I’m with Nia Wesley with Kens5 News in San Antonio! She’s a fantastic client of mine and we are sitting down to discuss stress and emotional eating. Nia and I were considering doing a show where we tracked her progress of losing weight rapidly. After discussing her food and diet history, we decided to get real and discuss food addiction and stress eating. 

    Nia has a powerful story about stress eating and her daily struggle with food. Nia noticed her weight gain slowly creep on during the final years of college and one fad diet after another, she had a break through about her mentality towards food. My dad used to poke fun about how I was a human garbage disposal and it was that moment I knew my eating habits were not normal. Nervous eating was comforting and at age 7, Nia’s Aunt pointed out that she was getting hefty. After getting help for the nervousness and anxiety, her path has just started the healing process. 

    Nia discusses her childhood, realizing her nervousness is anxiety, and getting counseling helped her change her eating habits and grow in her journey. She shares coping techniques to deal with her anxiety in a healthy, positive, and constructive way. Walking outdoors has really helped her find peace within and the situations that are happening in her life. Drinking water and getting enough sleep are two simple things that she’s done to change her health. 

    We discuss her self-discovery and her tips to maybe help you take that first step towards your health and fitness journeys! Nia says, “Don’t give up on yourself!”
