We often forget the power of numbers. The government is so afraid of us figuring out that we, the people, are more powerful than they ever will be. Look at the way the stock market just changed! The "little guy" just took it by storm. The little guy had the big boys on wall street in fear and panic. Think about that! We can win if we all just unite! Don't let the government stand between us and point out our differences. They want to keep us separate by pointing out why we are all different. Don't give into that narrative and stand up as a united nation!
Have you considered gratitude and the power that it can have on your life?
If you haven't, you need to check out this episode and see the power behind it!

To believe in yourself.

I say this because I care. Not to pick on you, but the more we think about things the more they come into our lives.
So, the more you think about how you aren't in the shape you want to be in the more you won't be in that shape.
Start thinking positive today and I know you'll start seeing a difference!
If I had to say one macro was more important than any other it would have to be protein!
Why?
That's because your body needs protein to build and repair muscle, make enzymes, and hormones. It's also a building block for bones, muscles, skin, and other organ functions!
Also, when it comes to weight loss protein is more satiating so you stay less hungry when eating less. More importantly though it helps you keep muscle and build muscle from workouts. If you don't eat enough protein and you lose weight you will just look the same only smaller and that's not the point of losing weight. We want to lose weight to look better!!
If you're missing protein in your diet and want some help, join my free Facebook group.
Also check out this awesome protein I use to help get in all my protein for the day!!

There's no right way to be fit, but the way that works for you. Just like a diet. No one way is the way to do it, but the one that you can stick to!!
Mindset is your attitude towards someone or something.
How do you go about changing your mindset if it's your attitude?
You have to of course want to change and then identify what the triggers are behind this attitude that you want to change.
Once you identify them you just have to practice a new reaction over and over again.

There are several reasons not to look at the scale daily, but the two biggest ones are:
-
There is no standard/ideal weight for everyone.
-
Weight fluctuates on a daily basis due to your diet, water intake, and stress levels.
So stop worrying about how much you weigh and be more concerned with how you look at feel!
Remember that game we used to play as kids where the first kid would come up with a word and then whisper it into the ear of the kid next to them and this is repeated until the last kid who finally says the word they heard?
Most of the time it was the wrong word!!!!
This is exactly happens when we don't directly tell our message to someone. It get distorted!!!
When we communicate we need to be direct and concise about what we are trying to say or do.
Unlike the game where it's funny, this will lead to a lot less headache!
Communication is key!
Josh Littauer, a financial fitness coach, former professional crossfit competitor, and Arete brother.
Josh strives to help others improve their Faith, Family, Fitness, Finances.
In today's episode, we go into the differences between crossfit and bodybuilding and finances.
- What kind of food are you eating now?
2, Do you naturally eat fatty foods or carb based?
Think about it.
We often look at what others have and want what they have, but don't look at what it took for them to get there.
It's time to take a hard look inside yourself and figure out the lifestyle you want, the why behind that lifestyle, and then create a plan on how to get there
How in the world do you go about balancing fitness, business, life, and family?
That's a question a lot of people ask themselves every day.
Truthfully there is no balance.
Some days will be leaned more towards one area versus another and some of those days you barely do anything with one of them!
Life happens and we have to figure it out as we go.
Fortunately, Anthony gives some great insight into how to balance this as well as the importance of routines and structure.
A little about Anthony:
Anthony develops routines for Entrepreneurs & Parents to achieve optimal success in fitness, business, & life. A legionnaire at 1st Phorm and Arete brother.
Fitness is so much more than just building up a great body.
It's building up your mindset and personal growth.
Think about it, how hard is it to say no to eating bad food?
How hard is it to saying no to yourself?
How hard is it to say yes to doing what needs to be done some times?
These are all things that we learn to develop through fitness.
Too often we think of fitness and we think only of the physical.
Fitness is so much more than that and if you don't think so it's time to think differently.
It all starts in the mind!
Control your mind and control your body. The mind is powerful.
Allow it to start controlling things for once!
Tony Whatley, THE side hustle millionaire. Owner and founder of 365 Driven, business coach, author, speaker, podcaster, and car fanatic.
Tony is involved in a lot of things, but the one thing that relates them all together is his consistency.
In this episode we talk about what exactly got him to fix his physical health and how it's helped him in his businesses.
Short answer, yes you can!!
Now for the long answer. It depends on your goals ultimately. If you're weeks out from a competition you don't want to rearrange workouts, but if you are just training to be healthier it's not a problem.

I want you to think about this.
Are you taking your fitness serious enough to do something about it or are you just going through the motions?
Too often we let this go because, well, life gets in the way!
The thing is, if we don't take care of our health our life WILL suffer.
It may not be tomorrow or one month from now, but eventually we won't be able to do as much for our family and friends.
So think about how serious you're taking your health.
Think about a friend who might not be either!
Take a few minutes to listen to this episode and see what you can do to take your health more seriously!
What's the difference between motivation and inspiration?
Motivation gets you amped up to do something based on a surface level and often fleeting feeling.
Inspiration gets you amped up to do something based on a deep emotional level that at least lasts longer than motivation, but usually is what gets people to actually take action!!
Think about it this way, when you hear a speech on something and it gets you fired up. You're ready to go out and do something, but you're still driving or had something else in your day to finish first. Because you had these things to finish first by the time you get to the thing you were so ready to do you've lost all that fire.
That was motivation.
Now think about a time where you heard something and it "triggered" something inside you. Something that you just couldn't turn off until you took care of this "new situation" that perhaps you didn't realize was a pain point in your life. You had been just letting it be a thought, but never something that seemed urgent, but now you think about it all the time. You get knots in your stomach when you haven't accomplished it yet.
This is inspiration - when you have something that you HAVE to get done or it'll eat you up.
So which one are you trying to bring into your life more? Motivation or Inspiration

Have you been having bad workouts?
Just kind of going through the motions?
Wondering why you aren't making in progress in the gym?
Then you need to listen up!!
These 3 steps will get you back into the groove of hitting the gym hard and creating the gains you've been going after!
-
Get more sleep
-
Change up your diet
-
Get a new workout program/routine
Often times we can get wrapped up in learning and become a consumer.
I know the struggle as I deal with it all the time in my personal life!
We must become producers though, because if we don't, we will never get what we want in life.
Of course we need to continue to learn, but we can't get stuck on just consuming information!!!
On today's podcast we talk about how Mike went from being paralyzed to coaching people about fitness. Not only that, but Mike enjoys doing OCR races!!
#fit #coach #fitness #fitnesspodcast
Be consistent with your meal plan, not every meal you eat.
We often get wrapped up in the idea that we can't have a cheat meal. That we have to stick with the amazing chicken and rice diet and that's not true!!
You don't do this with your job. You don't do the same thing every day and finish projects.
You do things consistently based on a plan and that's what makes a project successful.
This is exactly what cheat meals are!! PART OF A PLAN!!!!
Be consistent and crush your goals!!
It's a great day to be alive!
I'm so thankful for each and everyone of you who have been listening to this podcast.
I try to bring as much value to you as I can!
If there is anything you would like me to cover in the podcast, just let me know!!
As always, have a healthy and blessed day!!
Dave Stoneman owner of Dave Stoneman Fitness out of Boulder, Colorado
Dave helps people transform their lives by creating the physique they want without having to give up their favorite foods.
On today's episode we are going to talk about Mind-muscle connection, heavy vs light weight, and some flexible dieting.
With the corona virus and gyms being closed it's tough keeping up with your fitness.
Don't let all that stop your progress and allow you to regress.
Just take things one step at a time. Don't give up just because things have changed.
You've got this!
We need to learn from other people's mistakes.
Learning from our own is pretty obvious why we should learn them, but learning from others will catapult us to the goals we are trying to get to.

What is it and how does it work?
Deloading is literally either taking a rest week or going lighter on weight for a week or two.
This is something that powerlifters use more than bodybuilders or other lifting styles.
The reason being is that they're constantly putting their joints and CNS under stress and they need this time off to let those recover.
If your CNS or joints start to feel sore/in knots then it's time for you to do a deload week.
I recommend about every other month, but depending on the person you may extend that out a little longer.
It's one of our most valuable assets yet we treat it like it's not.
We need to start protecting our mind!!!
If we don't, we will start thinking and then being whatever we put in.
Meredith, a mechanical engineer, business owner, 1stphorm legionnaire, arete accelerator, and bikini competitor. Meredith is well rounded and knows a thing or two about fitness.
I'm excited to dive into this story with Meredith. As always we will get to know her a little, but this interview will have a little twist as we will dive into the sport of bodybuilding and more specifically the bikini division!
We all know that sticking to a diet isn't easy, especially when it comes to staying at home or on vacation.
You've worked so hard to get the progress you've gotten! Don't let it slip away now.
What you want to do is schedule out your meals.
Don't just eat when you feel like it because a lot of times we are just bored. It has nothing to do with actually being hungry.
Also, if you are going to have something sweet, replace that rice in your meal with let's say a brownie.
Disclaimer
I'm not saying to always eat like this. ha!
In order to get what you want in life you have to enter "The VAC"
What is the VAC?
It's Visualization, Action, Consistency.
You have to have all 3 in order to accomplish anything.
You can visualize and think about your goal all day long.
You can take action here and there.
BUTTTT......
Without the consistency of action and visualization you will NOT reach your goals.
Lisa lives in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho and moved there on a prayer from Washington. Literally!!

There are a lot of misconceptions out there to getting toned.
Usually it includes cutting weight and while that may be partially true it's not completely true.
In order to really get toned you have to have muscle!
So how do you get that muscle?
Well it all depends, but the best way to really grow muscle faster and in more specific areas is to do two things!
-
Put your muscle under a lot of tension and time under that tension
-
Focus on hitting specific muscle groups more often instead of doing just full body workouts.
We are the average of the five people we spend the most time with.
- Jim Rohn
This is so true and if you don't think so you need to take a look around you.
If you like the place you're in that's great! If not, then it's time to take a look at your friends.
Most likely they're about the same as you (remember you're the average of them) and in order to "level up" you need to get friends who are further along than you!.
The people you surround yourself with will dictate where you'll be in a year from now. Don't discount the power or detriment of friendship!
If you've been debating on a personal trainer and don't know whether you want to go with an online or in person trainer then listen to this first!!
Dustin and I go through some of the key questions you need to ask before starting to train with someone!
Follow Dustin on IG
When we focus on what we can't eat and how we can't go out to eat we become miserable.
Our diet seems like such a hassle and we end up stressing out which causes us to retain weight or even gain weight which is the opposite of what we want to do.
So, instead of focusing on the "lack of" in our diet, we need to focus on what we will gain from the diet.
Confidence, better looks, our health, discipline; you name it. You can gain a lot from a diet!
The more you stay focused on what you want the more likely you will get it.
Think about it...How often do you keep thinking about the bad things that could happen and then they do?
Well, that's exactly why! Because you focused on it!!
Just like the Nascar driver focuses on the path in front of him and nothing else, we must focus on our path and nothing else as well!
Trent, an entrepreneur from a young age. He's the Owner of Hustle Energy and Hustle the Day podcast.
In today's podcast we cover many things, but the biggest thing we uncovered were some keys of why fitness is so important and how to overcome the fear of getting into the gym. You can find Trent on FB, IG, and Hustle Energy's Website The rest of the show notes are at https://healthylivingsessions.com/blogs/news/interview-with-trent-bray
If you focus on making your meal prep too tasty you could burn out, but worse than the burn out is over eating! So you have to find that "sweet" spot. No pun intended!
Too tasty and you over eat. Too bland and you under eat.
Focus on finding the middle ground and don't focus too much on the sodium intake. It's not as important as hitting your macros!
I read a post that said being negative took more energy. At first I thought that that wasn't true until I started thinking about it more.
In the short term it really does take less energy. It's easy to do. To talk about. To put things off. To not do the right thing.
All of it's easier in the short term, but the long term is the difference.
To see yourself in the same spot. Hurting people. Not going anywhere. It all hurts!!!
So, taking the negative route, while being easy and taking less energy in the short term takes more energy in the long term.

Don't rely on others to tell you that you're great.
Most of the time they won't or don't see it in you.
Only you can tell yourself that you're great.
If you wait for others you'll be wait for forever.

If you’re finding yourself, sore, fatigued, or hungry after a workout listen up ‼️
Most people don’t know this secret so keep it between you and me 🤫
What you do post workout will help or hinder your soreness, fatigue, and hunger after that great workout you just had!
So what’s the secret?
It’s by taking a good quality whey protein shake paired with fast absorbing carbohydrates.
The reason being is that your body is low in glycogen post workout.
Replenishing your glycogen stores and spiking your insulin for maximum protein and nutrient assimilation is key.
Most people stick to just protein post workout.
While this is okay, your body has to use the protein and convert it into glycogen first and then use what’s left for protein to help build muscle.
If you simply add in carbohydrates like ignition to your post workout shake you allow your protein to do what it’s supposed to do..be protein!!!
So the reason you may not be seeing the gains, staying sore, having lack of energy, and hungry after a workout is due to improper post workout!

Give yourself permission!!
What are you waiting for? Someone else?
If that's the case you will be waiting for a long time.
You have to give yourself permission for the things you're doing to better yourself!
Most people are going to pull you down.
Don't pull yourself down.
Give yourself permission!

- If you're constantly feeling full

We all do it, but how do we get past it?
I would say to just move on, forget about the questioning, and dig deeper. However, this doesn't always work! Sometimes you just have to go through the motions.

You are what you eat, unless it’s chicken, then you must be on meal prep 😂
Pro tip:
When it comes to meal prep, preparing large amounts of protein sources at once helps spread the “work load” out.
I like to cook about 10 pounds of chicken and 6 pounds of ground turkey at a time.
I utilize enough for 5-7 days and freeze the rest for later.
Sometimes I’ll cook the same batch again so if I go out of town when i get back I just thaw out that prepared meat and prep later that night!
What’s your meal prep game look like?

This is a question I have asked myself recently.
I realized that my podcast wasn't growing much because I wasn't marketing it. I was doing the work by releasing new podcasts, but that was it.
This is how life is. Just because you do the work doesn't necessarily mean that people will see it. You have to market that you're doing the work as well!
So take action today and let people know what you're doing, whether it be a podcast or new business venture. You've got to let the people know!!!

Nick loves the process of seeing clients become healthier, stronger, and leaner, but as you can tell from this podcast, he really enjoys talking about health and fitness and helping people.
You can find Nick on FB @ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000350766460
In life there are a lot of things that can get us down.
We fail, we get ridiculed, we get told lies. All these things can hurt and deter us from what we truly want.
In life we have to have an "it is what it is" mentality.
The reason being. so we can shrug these things off!
Other people's opinions shouldn't matter to us and creating this mentality will help us conquer our day, then our week, and eventually our life!!!
Clay is a purpose driven coach. He helps teachers, administrators, and more specifically men, find their purpose in life.
In this episode we really dove into how ego can really get in the way. Clay brings up a great story about how ego changed his life, unfortunately in a negative way at the time, but now he uses his story to help drive him to teach others to not let ego get in their way and to live their life with purpose and intention.

Body composition:
Everyone has a struggle with how their body looks. It doesn't matter if you're in "good" or "bad" shape. We all struggle from time to time.
In today's podcast I go through my struggles and tools to help you get to the shape you want!
Happy New Year!! It's 2020 and you know what that means? Time to start working on the things for THIS year!!
Why were you waiting though?
Probably because you were afraid.
Don't be afraid! START DOING!!
Overthinking is really your problem though.
To stop overthinking, you have to just act when you have a thought.
Don't wait for that thought to settle or you won't take action!
So many things happened this year.
From 3 job/career changes, to get engaged and married. Moving into a new home with my wife, joining a new networking group, and setting bigger goals.
Most importantly, the impact that I made on this world.
Lastly, I just wanted to thank you all for supporting me this year!
Too often we spend time celebrating accomplishments that every one else does and then don't celebrate or cheer people on when they're achieving above average things.
I know it can be hard to see people doing better than you, but celebrate those people, because one day you will want to do something that isn't "normal"
So learn to celebrate not only the average things, but those that are extraordinary!!
Have you ever noticed that you can talk yourself out of something far easier than talking yourself into something?
Why is that?
Well we have a lot of things going on in life. Life gets "busy" and we say we can do it later..I need to get something else done first..it can wait..
So many excuses for why we can't do that thing we wanted to do now.
It's time to STOP making the excuses and start talking ourselves into doing something.
Have you ever thought about what would happen if you didn't start that side hustle or that new job?
Chances are you have, but you let that self talk inside.
Have you even thought about how important daily tasks are?
They are vital to your business or job. Too often most companies and people want to do a performance review or life review once a year and that's too little!!!
If you want to know where you're at towards your goals you need to do daily tasks!
The reason being is it allows you to track your progression towards your goals or company targets and be able to adjust DAILY if you start going off target.
With yearly goals you can't do that!
A lot of people are afraid of failing, but that's where the growth happens! Stop being afraid and take that leap!
If you aren't failing, then you aren't really trying. Failure doesn't mean you lost. It means you tried something outside of what you knew you could do. Failure only truly happens when you give up forever.
This is just some of the thoughts I had over this past year. At the time of this recording it was my birthday and I talked about the different things that happened this past birth year. One year can make a huge difference, while one day won't. Don't fear the failures of one day. That one bad day won't ruin your whole life, just like one good day won't change your life either. Yes, there are anomalies, but for the most part, one day won't change your life forever.
So stop living for the day, weekend, or month, and start living for the year, decade, or life.
My challenge to you is to write down at least 5 big things you want to happen this next "birth" year! You could just choose today to be the day to start the year mark. Don't delay your life by waiting for a new year to start something new. START NOW!!!!
