Let's be clear, we want you to get to a gym (or whatever method of exercise you can do), but we want you to have (and give) a great experience once you get there.  Whether you are a newbie or a seasoned veteran, you need to be aware of some of these common mistakes that can get you labeled as "that guy or girl from the gym".  You're welcome in advance.

Rest is a discipline.  Rest is sometimes ignored and might be the missing link in your fitness gap.

Lack of rest affects:

  • Mood
  • Stress
  • Metabolism
  • Physical performance

  • Sleep-  make a plan for bedtime and a plan for waking up

    1. Recovery Day / Cheat Day-  do whatever recharges you
  • Feed your senses - notice what you see, taste, hear, smell, and touch.
    1. Plan your weekly calendar - this gives you structure/time and helps create discipline

  • use cash when possible
  • negotiate everything!
  • don’t waiver. “No” is a full sentence.
  • all of this creates discipline

WHAT is the FitChat Podcast?

  • Physical fitness - different ways to train and how to maximize results/time; finding a sustainable diet to keep you healthy and get the physical results you are looking for. Supplementation to fill in gaps.
  • Mental / Emotional fitness - keeping your brain in good shape; allowing time for rest and relaxation; actively managing stress and building resiliency to life; staying away from negative thoughts to focus on creative and constructive tasks; finding the motivation to be the best version of ourselves for us and for those we love.
  • Spiritual fitness – practices that strengthen your connectedness with sources of hope, meaning, and purpose. We believe that God should be the ultimate leader in our lives and keeping Him #1 keeps everything else in line.
    • Relational fitness - how well do you know yourself/others; ability to grow stronger thru challenges with the people you are around the most (family, friends, co-workers, classmates, etc).
    • Financial fitness – being able to manage your money in order to meet your current and long-term needs. As with any type of training, becoming financially fit requires learning the principles and best practices that others have used to achieve their financial objectives. Having a plan/budget is freeing, not a burden.

WHO are your host, Brandon & Sheree Cobia?

  • How we currently work together to help people using our backgrounds, experiences, life lessons from ourselves and those who've mentored us.
    • Physical fitness- PureFitPal app
    • Mental- daily motivation/balance
    • Spiritual – relationship vs religion
    • Relational – our story and stories of others
    • Financial – Dave Ramsey/Financial Peace

  • Think beyond physical fitness
  • Help people feel like they are not alone in their struggles, and learn from mistakes of others
