Train Hard Live Strong

When people become obese, unhappy, over weight, addicted to alcohol, self doubting, ect, these things begin to go out of control because we have lost connection with who we truly are. We have manipulated ourselves into thinking that, whatever lies or excuses we're telling ourselves, are actually true. When years of this happens, it then becomes a habit which equals a lifestyle which then becomes your new "DNA". Getting to this point is difficult, but getting out of this whole is even harder.

Our amazing guest speaker today, Sarah Doell, has been addicted to self harming habits because of the loss of vision that she had for herself. Not only did she get out of this whole and find happiness/confidence within her self and her body, but she went off to compete in a wellness show along with opening her own business. Many things in life seem to become more important that our health, mind, body, and life, but when a life scare or shock happens, sometimes that's all we need to kick our butts into shape.

2020 has ended and now it's time to set yourself up for SUCCESS in 2021. New year resolutions are about to flood in January and with all the people setting these "new" goals, about 3 out of 5 people will quit by February. One other person will make it to March and let the speed of progress stop them from pursuing, which leaves us with 1 out of 5 people being successful in their "new year resolution goals". In this episode I wanted to sculpt 3 ways that you can become successful with your fitness & health goals.

Excuses will absorb your mind like a parasite in your body. I've said this over and over again, the unbreakable drive to accomplish a goal will come from all the days of working towards it even when you don't want to. Now a lot of us have our own struggles and reasons to quit right? We all have things we can tell ourselves that will convince us to not start today or work today because we just don't feel like it. Most of us are parents, full time students, work full time, run a business or multiple businesses, and guess what, there are even some of us that juggle all of that.

In today's show we have the great, Mande Martinez, and her iron mindset to never quit but to find other ways to success even when it feels like there isn't any. Mande has pushed her mind to train even when she was pregnant. Mande pushed her mind to train her body to find the confidence towards her self. Mande is the true definition of hard work, dedication, and consistency. In this episode she will share tons of value and inspiration to everyone who suffers with self doubt, low self esteem, the feeling of hopelessness, and many more!

To achieve the things you want with your body & health you'll need to do things you don't want to. You'll need to do things you're uncomfortable with. And you will for sure need to sacrifice certain things in life that hold you back, keep you complacent, or create anything toxic or negative in your life/journey. These things amplify once kids are put in the picture.

Our amazing guest speaker today, Faith Cooke, brings to the show some amazing value on how to achieve your goals within fitness even with kids. Faith changed her training from marathon training to powerlifting/crossfit just to stay closer with her daughter. Not only that but she also brings her daughter to her lift sessions to show her how a strong, driven, and dedicated woman looks like. The things we let our kids see will drastically effect their future and drive. Not only that, but not making the excuse of "well I have kids, I have no time" doesn't exist because there are tons of parents pursuing their health goals even with kids.

"Hey Coach Matt, how do you stay motivated to do your workouts and eat clean?" This is a question I get asked a lot. I've also interviewed 60+ coaches & athletes and a big question they get asked is the same thing. Motivation is such a small aspect to what keeps people pushing even when life gets hard, even when everything is working against them, even if they feel completely uncomfortable.

Majority of people give in to that voice in their head that says, "Hey it's okay, just quit. Hey it's okay just sleep in. Hey it's okay to cheat this week." You know the days where you don't want to train? Want to know what happens when you train even if you don't want to? You create the mindset that keeps you driven for your goals no matter what. The unique thing about all the coaches, athletes, influencers, celebrities, and people we've interviewed here on the show is they train even when they don't want to. They eat clean even when everyone is not. They work on themselves day in and day out no matter what that voice in their head says because that is what creates that "unbreakable desire to achieve your goals".

Pain is a great thing and a horrible thing. Pain the biggest factor that forces people to quit. Pain is an indicator if something is wrong or right. Pain is always going to be there even if it's stress, grief, mourning, sadness, ect. Pain is uncomfortable and a big test for your mind. Don't EVER be a slave to pain. Use pain as fuel, use it as a gauge, and when pain follows you through life activities or in your workouts, you need to define what that pain is and how to use it to your advantage. 

Guest Speaker & Doctor of Physical Therapy, Erin Ackerly, comes on the show to share that pain is pain that needs to be fixed with strengthening other parts of your body (including the mind). If you're dealing with pain from an injury, wear and tare, or anything else, training/movement/self care are HUGE principles that will determine if that pain will control you or you control it. Dive into this episode with an open mind and the will to deal with acute pain to create a long lasting life of control to your pain.

Majority of people finish their life without touching an ounce of their full potential. Most people quit because the pain is to much to handle or instant gratification is greater than loving the journey. One thing I've heard over and over again is "Self care feels to selfish". This is BEYOND incorrect. Self care is consistent road to self discovery.

Training has more benefits than six pack abs, big legs, nice glutes, and huge arms. Those are all small small aspects of a huge picture. If fear is what's stopping you, don't look at the journey as fearful but filled with life lessons to further discover who you are. Training will improve all aspects of your life. Nothing about training will ruin your day, week, month, year, or life. All you will receive is improvement, confidence, self love, fulfillment, and pure strength, mentally & physically.

It's exhausting always looking in the mirror and thinking to yourself, "Ugh why do I look like this. Maybe I need to do more cardio and eat less." Then you go ahead and do that then 2 months pass by and you've gained weight. Then this cycle just continues to repeat itself over and over again until you've came to a state of mind where no matter what, you will always hate you look no matter if tons of people are giving you compliments, because we all already know, compliments don't uplift us when we have a bad view on ourselves to begin with.

The amazing guest speaker today, Teresa, has been through hating herself and wishing for a "better body". She has looked in the mirror and worn clothes and thought to herself, "ugh why do I look like this". On top of it all, she also is a mother, and the amount of change that happens to a woman's body during and after pregnancy is at times very depressing. This is why post partum depression is a real thing! She began to finally take things into her own hands and own up to reality which then guided her to falling in love with who she is and what she's capable of. Self love and care are CRUCIAL, and if right now you're suffering with either, this episode is about to change your life!

We are all slaves to time right? Time is one thing that is consistent and always by our side. With a life of limited time, how do we become efficient with it? How do manage school, business, family, our health, our happiness, and everything else in just a 24 hour period? I completely understand how life can get, but I also know how quickly it can be taken away. In a life of go go go, it's beyond crucial to take time to work on YOU! Work on your health, your mental health, your body image, your self love, ect. 

It does not take 3 hours a day and eating like a rabbit to achieve an amazing physique. It doesn't take crazy sacrifices and a strict lifestyle to make all this happen. All you need is a will to make it happen and a vision to prioritize it to make it a lifestyle. The current lifestyle you're in right now is normal to you right? For example, the breakfast you had is normal. The beers after work is normal. The hanging out with the kids and eating pizza is normal. There is no difference in creating a fitness/nutrition habit that then turns into a lifestyle. It'll be just as normal as it is to brush your teeth. In this episode I will break down how you can be extremely efficient with your time to optimize your freaking GAINZ!
