Advertise on podcast: Fuel Your Freedom

We should strive to get the absolute most out of our training sessions. And, while I’ve talked about having a great program, making sure you’re working within your movement capabilities, and other factors, I have yet to touch on one variable: the pre-training routine. For me this includes three things: fuel, a goal, and getting in the zone. Let’s dive in. Are you lost in the traditional fitness world of eating bland, meal-prepped meals, after you finish workouts that make you so sore you can't walk for days, and scrutinizing your body in every mirror that you walk past? Do you feel like your fitness journey is a constant battle of running yourself into the ground, but never making progress toward your goals? This podcast is for you. It's time to break the cycle and find what truly works for you. It's time to find a better way. It's time to fuel your freedom. Whether you've been training for years or are looking to take the first steps in your health and fitness journey, they show will fuel your body, mind, and soul to break free from what we've heard in the past and find YOUR version of health and fitness - one that works for YOU. If any of all of this sounds familiar, this podcast is for you. It's time to break the cycle and find what truly works. It's time to find a better way. It's time to fuel your freedom.

Selecting a weight truly makes or breaks a workout. If it’s too heavy, we can potentially choose a weight that’s too heavy to complete the reps and sets prescribed. On the flip side, if it’s too light, we might not feel the exercise is really doing much of anything. Today, we’re talking about four ways to select a proper weight when completing an exercise.

The perfect program can look great on paper, but as someone begins to execute it, it’s a flop. You take the reins and put a stop to the movement, program, etc. that isn’t working. As a coach, it’s my job to then problem solve and find another way to achieve the goals they want. But the member is always in the driver’s seat. They are the ultimate expert on their body. Today we’re unpacking what that looks like and how you can be a better advocate for yourself.   Are you lost in the traditional fitness world of eating bland, meal-prepped meals, after you finish workouts that make you so sore you can't walk for days, and scrutinizing your body in every mirror that you walk past?

Whether you’ve never ran a block, or want to start running further distances, this episode is for you. Running can be an intimidating activity to start.
