Have you ever had a goal so extreme that people laughed at you when you shared it? Have you ever been doubted because people didn't believe in you like you believe in yourself? And all of that then begins to make you doubt yourself and what you're capable of.......this is what happens DAILY to thousands of people. This is why people are scared to start their journey.

Ladies & gents, we have an incredible guest speaker on today's show. A girl who came to me in October wanting to do the unthinkable. Wanting to drop 100lbs and compete in her first ever, bikini competition. Nicole Todd is the definition of self empowerment and pure f*****g drive! This girl took all the negative, all the doubters, all her self doubts, and used them as fuel to drop 100lbs and get on stage, proud, confident, empowered, and happy. Nicole did this 100% naturally, no short cuts, no quick over night pills, and she's here to share with you how you can too.

The thought of getting "toned" doesn't exist within cardio. Cardio only burns the calories during the actual workout session and then your body will regulate back to square one. The human body is an incredible creation when it comes to how great we are able to adapt. With cardio your body will adapt to the amount of challenge it brings your body. For example, a 5 mile run at a 9 minute pace won't be hard in 2 months like it might be on day 1. This is also called, conditioning. 

Conditioning is the goal when it comes down to cardiovascular training, but where in there does it say "cardio will help with fat loss and muscle growth"? It doesn't because cardio does makes no change in your resting metabolic rate. Your resting metabolic rate is the amount of calories you burn at rest. The way you can improve this is by STOPPING the cardio and begin the muscle growth (lift the weights). Everything needed to sustain & create fat loss to get "toned" isn't applied during cardio. Let's go in more depth inside this episode.

Today we are in year 2020. let's take the next decade and say every year all you gain is 5lbs. In 12 months all you gain is 5lbs, not bad right? A lot of people can lose 5lbs overnight, so gaining 5lbs a year sounds like it wouldn't be to bad. Let's also say you're 25 right now and for next 10 years all you gain per year is 5lbs. By the time you're 35 you will have gained a total of 50lbs. 50 extra pounds on your joints, 50 extra pounds for your heart to pump blood through, 50 extra pounds that will press against your lungs making it hard to breathe. 

This simple story happens millions of times to millions of people. This never made sense to me until the great, Tyler Christensen shared his story. His story is truly eye opening. He simplifies the facts of weight gain and weight loss. He talks about how fitness and movement improve brain functions, how you can save more money by buying healthier foods, and how making a change today can change your entire life. 

The most amazing thing about Tyler's story is how he struggled in the beginning. How he lost weight then gained weight and ended up gaining more weight than with what he started with. This part of his story is amazing because he didn't quit. This part is amazing because this shows even with how great his success is with his body, it didn't start off all sunshine and rainbows. It's okay if you fail. It's okay if you feel like nothing works. Tyler will bring you the inspiration you need to push forward in this episode.

I've heard to many people say, "I just don't like veggies. I've tried it before and I just can't do it". Vegetables are a essential nutrient to life and give the body strong minerals and vitamins that keep us strong internally. Not only that, but I've heard people basically say, "I just can't eat healthy, I love to eat to much". Well isn't "healthy food" also food. Isn't it something that people eat. Why do you think people enjoy crap food? Because that's all they're TRAINING THEIR BODY TO KNOW.

So whenever you begin to introduce healthy foods into your body, yes their will be a time where your body will want to reject these amazing foods, but guess what. All you're gonna have to do is continue to introduce these foods into your lifestyle to train your body to enjoy them. There is no quick easy route, there is only hard work and effort. The body is a beautiful creation and not liking healthy foods is only a state of mind that we need to train differently in thinking.

Welcome to part two of poppy livers story. His story has it all THLS fam. He was told her couldn't, he was told her never will, he was told he was to slow, small, and not suited for the goals he has for himself. In Part One of his series he explained his background in depth. All starting from his youth and climbing the ladder to his college all start football days to being the amazing training influencer he is today. 

Poppy trains not just to look good, impress people, or just have a nice body for the "beach". Training saved poppy's life. Whenever life got really complicated and dark, training brought him back to life. I've preached this over and over again, but training is more than reps & sets, calories, macros, ect. It's about how it impacts your life emotionally, mentally, spiritually, physically, and overall all aspects of your life inside and out. Poppy shares how training brought him life and how it can do the same for you!
