Train Hard Live Strong

Life will always have its ups & downs. Life is very mysterious in the things it will put in your way. What if one day you were told you have a life threatening disease? What if you had to grab your health and take full control of every day to ensure you are healthy and strong because your life depends on it. I've said this before, but if you get diagnosed with a disease or condition, BECOME AN EXPERT IN YOUR OWN DIAGNOSIS. 

Our amazing guest speaker today, Andrea Elliot, has been through it. She has had 2 kids, lives with hypothyroid, left her corporate job, opened up her own business, and is currently kicking lupus's ass. One thing that Andrea says in this episode is even when she was big Andrea, she loved herself. She loved her body and still felt beautiful, but only disliked her body when she looked at pictures of herself. 

Andrea has an amazing story and passion for what she does for others, her family, and her business. One thing I want you to take from this episode is what Andrea says at the end of this episode when I asked her, "What words of advice would you give to someone right now who has been diagnosed with a life threatening disease or has had a huge life changing obstacle?"

Health & fitness is not about the quick results, six pack abs, shredded arms, big glutes, ect. It's about you and how you feel. It's about your health and how you are taking control of your body & health because the self empowerment you have to achieve your greatest self.

Our biggest enemy, our biggest critic, our biggest inspiration, is ourselves. Why is it that we can make every excuse in the world to stop us from starting our fitness journey but we don't make excuses doing things that destroy our health? I have come to a realization that there will never be a perfect coach, pill, video, song, ect, that will make that change for you. Yes you can find motivation & guidance/help, but what's going to keep you from quitting? What's going to stop you from taking that first step and starting NOW!! 

You are going to be the one to do that. You have to be the one to start now! In this episode I cover 5 things you can do TODAY to start NOW! Starting now isn't as crazy as you might think, it's actually very simple and when you do one of these five things you will then open a door to great things to come.

Not only that, but I also shared some mental road blocks, through my experiences as a coach, business owner, and self experience, that have made it difficult to take that first step to start NOW.

I feel that we can all agree that not everything is this world isn't "fair" or "the right thing to do". In my opinion, sometimes things just don't make sense. For example, why do we even have medications for self-conflicted diseases when they are SELF-CONFLICTED and can be FIXED/REVERSED with a proper lifestyle change or improvement.

On today's episode we have a returning guest speaker, Shannon Montgomery, to come back on the show to discuss this confusing topic. Shannon brings up some incredible points that will open eyes and minds to everyone listening. The health care system has some faults and things that just don't make any sense. This is going to be a great episode that is filled with raw truth and passion.

What does it take to be the best? What does it take to risk it all, to take a chance, and go for the unthinkable? In today's episode you're about to dive into the mind of an incredible, inspirational, and passionately driven individual. No matter who you are, how much money you have, how you grew up, ect, never let anyone even yourself tell you YOU CAN'T DO SOMETHING! You will never know if you never try. So many of us quit before we even take the first step, and I know dreams and goals are scary, but the things you truly want in life will always come with fear, consistency, and getting out of your comfort zones. Doing things you might fail at.

In today's episode we have one of the goats in bodybuilding, also a Combat Veteran, Logan Franklin. He shares some powerful insights on his background, how he was raised, his time in the service, life, fitness, mindset, and of course, becoming a beast in bodybuilding. This guy won his first few shows self coaching himself. He cut out water out of his diet 3 days before his show, ate pancakes the morning of, and got up on stage and won! Logan Franklin's drive to WIN Mr. Olympia is beyond this world. He has literally done everything but GIVE UP!! Listen up everyone, you're not going to want to miss one second of this episode!

Yo wassup fit fam! It's Coach Matt coming at you again with another life changing episode! Nutrition, food, training, weight loss, health, wellness, mental health, and metabolism (and to be honest tons more) are things I get asked a lot about. One thing that will always play a huge role in any goals you want to accomplish is.............yep you guest it, "YOUR METABOLISM". This precious engine within your body will help you enjoy foods and shred fat while doing it!

The speed of your metabolism can be moved by genetics, bad lifestyle habits, and a long lasting time of being in a caloric deficit. I don't know if you knew this though but no matter what the case may be, YOU CAN CONTROL THE SPEED OF YOUR METABOLISM if you follow the 4 ways I will mention in this episode. Metabolic adaptation to a caloric deficit is common, and a lot of people are currently doing it right now without even knowing it. This is when you hear people saying, "well I barely eat, why am I gaining weight?". As a coach I've heard this a lot and still currently do, so I wanted to drop this episode for everyone to hear. Your metabolism plays one of the biggest roles within your body. It is crucial to understand how it works. Let's get it ya'll!
