What Breaking Arbitrary Rules, Strength Training Programs, & Spring Break Have In Common

41 minutes

We spend far too much time following arbitrary rules that don't apply to our lives and goals. Many of us do this with fitness. And I have definitely been doing this as an online business owner. Another flavor of the same shit sandwich, as I would say. So I decided not to release this week's episode on Tuesday like I usually do on purpose. To prove a point: that sometimes we can break the rules and nothing bad happens. Plus I was too busy trying to enjoy my spring break. Truthfully, this episode was supposed to be all about the benefits of following a strength training program. But I didn't feel like talking about that today. I mean, I guess I touch on it a little. But this episode is probably the most authentic and unscripted one I've recorded so far.

On this episode we talk about:

A behind the scenes look at what it's really like to run an online coaching business (aka not all that glamorous) and how I decided I didn't want to follow some of the rules/best practices when it comes to creating content to support your services.

The parallels between the way I'm trying to do things as an online business owner and the way I coach my clients to approach their workouts.

Some of the differences between "movement", "exercise", and "training", and why those words might matter to you if you're even kind of into fitness.

Why some of the rules around fitness might be helpful for you, and also why you don't have to follow them perfectly.

Why I support my clients who miss workouts when they're doing the things that matter to them. #reasonswhyilift
