The Ethan LeRock Show: Recent Episodes
Ethan LeRock
Ethan LeRock, author of the book Fit Anyway shares his unique fitness and weight-loss strategies for all you moms and dads out there, helping you to find time in your busy schedules, get your fitness back on track at any age (and regardless of your current fitness level), so you can spend more quality time with your family, have a brighter outlook on life, and finally find the true joy that life has to offer. Ethan's unique perspective is that he had a strong Health & Fitness background at at very young age. Yet, like many he found himself in a state of obesity, not only once, but twice. The second time of obesity is when he discovered the roadmap that allowed him to lose the weight quickly, and (most importantly) to keep it off for a lifetime. Not only that, but he also discovered the true secrets to being happy on a consistent basis. Visualization, life-planning, psychology, nutrition, exercise, positivity, personal development, accountability, motivation, inspiration and other tactical information to help you better understand how to take control, make change and finally live that life you deserve.
Maybe you’ve had the displeasure of being hacked, or maybe you’ve accidentally downloaded some malware or virus onto your computer.
And usually, some symptoms occur.
And as a result, your computer system begins to act up. It may begin to run much slower than it used to. It may no longer be able to do the same things as it used to. Maybe it freezes up altogether and you need to take it into a specialist.
Well, what I’m going to be sharing with you today is that the very same thing can happen to our own bodies.
Yes, this wonderful hardware that we’ve been given may be getting hacked on a daily basis, and you may be surprised at who the hackers actually are.
But, no need to worry, because I’m also going to share with you the 2 types of hackers, and more importantly how you can develop the best anti-virus in order to get your operating system functioning to its full potential.
(and yes, this is an intentionally weird episode!)

Today, I was thinking back about when I finally decided to sit down and begin writing my book
I had already created and had been living by my 9 simple directives.
I was figuring out what order I would lay them out in, how I’d best ensure success for the reader, and I wanted to be 100% sure that I also addressed what I call “The four common roadblocks”,
You see, as you train people there is a trust that is developed and people often feel compelled to share their various reasons and excuses for why they can’t seem to get their fitness on track.
Eventually, I was then able to start putting together a list of the various excuses and self-defeating roadblocks that were constantly being shared with me.
In the end I managed to filter them all down to what I call “The four common roadblocks”
I was thinking about what I should call the book, and for some reason I couldn’t come up with a suitable title.
Then, one night I was literally woken out of my sleep. “Fit Anyway” had popped into my head. The idea was that even though people were battling with these four (4) common roadblocks, that I would show them how they could be Fit Anyway.
So this week I'm taking you through the four (4) common roadblocks, so you can have a better understanding, and so that ultimately you can break through any of these roadblocks that you may be dealing with in order to begin losing weight and taking back your health and fitness.

Today’s message is for those of you out there who may be sick & tired of the whole process of trying to stay healthy.
You may feel like no matter what you try, you just can’t seem to keep the weight off, and therefore what is the point of trying.
I’m particularly talking to those of you out there who have made that conscious decision to give up on anything related to health & fitness altogether.
You feel that you’ve spent the majority of your life trying to be on some sort of diet, or jumping into some exercise approach only to be let down in the process.
You are fed up and you have made the decision to give up entirely.
You will no longer watch what you eat, you will no longer perform any exercise and in fact, from here on out, you are going to do only what you want to do.
You feel that you’ve lived enough years, have had enough experiences, and have made enough sacrifices for the sake of vanity and no longer see the point.
Well, if you will provide me with the benefit, I want to share with you some thoughts before you make that ultimate decision to give up on your health & fitness altogether.
Today's message was prepared especially for YOU!!
I love you and want to stop you from making a huge mistake!

Many people get caught up and stuck waiting for perfection to occur.
They tell themselves they’ll get started when they find the perfect diet, when they determine the perfect workout, or when their schedule is cleared and perfectly setup to allow them time to take care of their fitness.
They find themselves waiting sometimes endlessly for when all the planets align and everything is perfect. And then and only then will they allow themselves to take some action.
Well, if that is you, I’m sorry to tell you that if perfection is what you are looking for, it simple does not exist, at least that is the conclusion that I have come to based on my 39 yrs of experience with health & fitness.
However, you don’t need to worry because I have you covered.
In fact, I will be getting personal with you today and will be sharing with you the importance of taking IMPERFECT ACTION TODAY in order to get the results in life that you want.
You can do whatever you want in life, but it takes ACTION! (not perfection)

Have you been looking to lose weight and get in shape, but have not had very good luck when it comes to cardio?
For example, (either now, or in the past), you’ve made a dedicated effort to perform cardio on a regular basis in hopes to shed some unwanted weight.
Maybe you’ve found yourself running for 30 mins, an hour or even longer, and maybe you had some brief and early results that eventually plateaued, leaving you feeling hopeless and frustrated.
Well, today I plan to your mind at ease.
As I’m going to be taking you through the basic differences between the two (2) types of cardio that are out there, but more importantly I'll be describing where you should really be placing your efforts, which could require ZERO cardio at all.

Many people have a dread of any kind of exercise or physical exertion.
There are many reasons for this on both a physical and psychological level.
Regardless, what if I told you that I could help you get to where you want to be, and the STARTING POINT doesn’t require that you go to a gym or perform any exercise whatsoever?
In other words, there isn’t any need for alarm. In fact you can be relieved that I’m not going to ask you start some crazy workout plan, and you can watch today’s show from the comfort of your couch, and you may just find yourself beginning a journey that you never thought was possible.
Well, get out your journal or piece of paper and a pen, and get ready to write some things down. All from the comfort of your living room, with zero sweat required.
I’m going to be sharing with you some personal stories, but most importantly I’ll be sharing with you the 3 key components that can allow you to actually THINK your way to a healthier, fuller and richer life.

So everyone has something to say about what we should and should not be eating.
Everyone has a differing opinion, and most are set very firm in their ways and are willing to provide some guidance, with the one requirement that you MUST follow their way in order to get any worth-while results.
Well, that is the opposite to what I want to share with you. I have a strong belief in the eating approach that I personally created, but it is definitely NOT the only eating approach that can be effective at helping you lose weight (it IS awesome though, if I do say so myself, and I actually give it away free almost every week!!) 😉
Instead, this week I'm sharing with you 3 specific dieting pitfalls that you'll want to avoid in order to ensure yourself the best chances of achieving the results you desire.
These pitfalls apply regardless of the diet you choose.
Warning! Some of this is controversial, but with the best intentions in mind.

Are you tired of searching here there and everywhere for the answers to losing weight and keeping it off for a lifetime?
Do you find it to be a dizzying process, and simply want someone to hold your hand and guide you through the exact steps you need to take?
Well, you are in for a treat, because THAT IS EXACTLY what I'm providing for you this week.
I've put the challenge to myself to do 2 things:
1) Provide you a show without any scripted notes, sharing what I know straight from my own road-map
2) Walk you through the exact process that I would put you through if you came to me and asked me in person what to do FROM START TO FINISH.
I'm taking you through all 9 steps, so be sure to grab a journal and a pen to take notes!

Now there isn’t anything wrong with wanting to lose a few pounds, and to want to do it quickly.
However, if that is the ONLY thing you are focused on, then ultimately, you are setting yourself up to find yourself right back to where you are today, possibly in worse shape than you are in right now.
What I’m about to share with you may seem quite obvious when I spell it out to you.
However, it’s amazing how most people put very little thought into their long-term future when they decide they want to make a change.
The majority of people focus on how they can get the quickest results in the shortest possible time possible… …and for what purpose??? For a beach, a wedding, vacation, special event??
It pays to stop and ask yourself “What would it be like to have a LIFETIME of being healthy and fit? Where everything just seems natural. Where you look and feel great ALL THE TIME and for ALWAYS?” Doesn’t that sound like it is so much more worth it??
That's why today I'm sharing the pit-falls of short-term thinking in order to provide you with a better understanding, and then I'll reveal the positive and contrasting benefits of long-term thinking and PLAYING THE LONG GAME.

Imagine if you could use the SIMPLE POWER OF YOUR MIND to lose weight, gain muscle and finally find a lifetime of being healthy and fit.
I'm here this week to tell you exactly that. It truly is possible.
If you are like I was, when you think about weight-loss or getting in shape, you likely immediately picture some physical activity, whether it be jogging, training in the gym or some other exercise. It is usually something physical that your mind is immediately drawn to.
After that, your mind may shift to the requirement to eat properly. You know, avoiding junk food and eat more vegetables, salads, etc.
However, if you are like most people, the idea of working on your psychology, as a way to lose weight is NOT something that comes to mind whatsoever.
The fact that you can simply work on the way you think, understand how you feel, and determine what you focus on, and achieve significant weight-loss… …the idea of this has never come to your mind.
Today, I plan to do something about that. For as you will find out, the way we have all been taught to think about weight-loss is entirely backwards in it’s approach!
I’ll be showing you why psychology is the #1 key to losing weight, and I’ll also be showing you how to harness it’s power, so that you can begin using it to make significant and long-term improvements in your life.
I'll be taking you through the following:
- Why diet & exercise are NOT the #1 most important aspect for a healthy life
- Why psychology IS the #1 most important aspect
-
How YOU can begin harnessing it's power in a tactical way
-
Ethan
P.S. After your psychology, nutrition is the #2 most important aspect to achieving a lifetime of health & happiness... Break free of your current diet! Here's an entirely new eating approach that can help you on your mission...

If you are like I was, you might be at a point where each day bleeds into each day.
You know the drill. You spend your day closing out tasks and taking care of everyone else.
So that by the time you finally actually find a moment to yourself, you find yourself flopped down on the couch and thoughts may go through your mind.
“There must be something better than this.” “Is this all there is?” “Is this the reward that I get for putting in an entire lifetime of hard work?” “Am I destined to sit here growing heavier and heavier as each year passes?”.
Yes, you may be at a point where you are feeling stuck.
Well if this does sound like you, I want you to know that you are not alone.
Many people go through this exact same experience.
This is merely the result of falling into a pattern that has been established over time.
The good news about that is that you are the one who created that pattern, which means you are also the one who can make whatever changes you wish to the life you are living.
That’s why today, I’m sharing with you some simple steps for getting yourself un-stuck, so that you can break your current patterns and set yourself up for a more rewarding life of good health, and one that better suits your purpose.
I'll be taking you through each of the 5 following steps:
- Creating Your Dream List
- Confirming Your Necessary Tasks
- Developing Your Delegation List
- Taking On The Important Conversations
- Bringing Your Dream List Into Reality
It's ALL POSSIBLE.

Many fitness channels out there do a very good job of showing people how to perform different workouts in unique and exciting ways.
They do their best to show people how to bring certain body parts up to a different level, focusing in on the best angles, sets and rep schemes, and most of all they reveal how amazing they look, as they perform their workouts with ease.
But what I don’t see out there are any channels that speak to the average person who is SEVERELY out of shape. The person who has let things go to a point that they are actually fearful of injuring themselves or worse.
They may watch the attractive fitness models from the comfort of their couch, but feel nothing but dread and fear when it comes to thinking about doing the actual work themselves.
That is exactly why today I’m going to focus in on this specific roadblock - This roadblock we call FEAR that many have a hard time getting past.
I’m going to be discussing 3 common fears we have when it comes to starting back with some exercise, with some very specific suggestions that you can begin using today in order to help you get over this psychological pitfall, so that you can finally find the courage to START TAKING THOSE FIRST STEPS, and begin working your way safely to a life of health, happiness & true joy.
It really is true... ...There is nothing to fear but fear itself!
We'll be dealing with the following:
- The fear of discomfort
- The fear of pain & injury
- The fear of rejection & embarrassment
Don't worry, you can do this! (you have me on your side all the way)

You might be at a point in your life where you feel like you just can’t catch a break. That when you take a step back and look at your past, it’s riddled with hardships and roadblocks that prevented you from becoming the person you wish you could be.
For those that don’t truly know me, I may come across as a person who’s sole focus in life is on health & fitness and working out in the gym.
For those that know me a bit better, I likely come across as a thoughtful, caring person who is physically fit and seems to have found exceptional balance in his life.
After all, I’m healthy, have a wonderful loving relationship with my wife, will do just about anything for my family & friends, I have a challenging career, and I do not carry debt in life.
From the outside, I may seem like I've been blessed with advantage and luck in life, and that everything has come easy for me.
Did I have the perfect life?
Did my dad sit me down and teach me how to be a better husband and friend?
Did a great coach get me interested in health & fitness?
Did someone teach me how to find a professional career that would allow me to live a comfortable life?
Did someone in my family leave me money or give me amazing financial advice?
I can tell you now that the answer to all those questions is a resounding “NO”.
This week is going to be a very different episode in that I’m going to share with you some deeply personal stories about how I truly came to be, and I think you’ll be very surprised.
More importantly, the entire purpose of sharing these stories, is in hopes that they may help you develop a different perception about your own situation or past, allowing you to let go of some pain and break down some roadblocks along the way.
I have discovered over the years that many times our physical situation is the result of our inability to deal with what is going on within.
Unfortunately, these are the types of discussions that many health & fitness trainers are neglecting to have with their students.
Well, today is the day for you to take some time to reflect, heal and move forward.
Trust in the process and you may finally be able break free of some psychological roadblocks once and for all.
Sincerely,
Ethan

Today, I'll be talking about a disease that is 3 times deadlier than cancer. If there has ever been a podcast that I encourage you to share, it is this one that you'll be listening to today.
If you are like many, you understand the idea that sugar is something that should not be consumed in large quantities.
Likely, that understanding is based on the fact that sugar contains a significant amount of calories.
But with most people, that is pretty much all they know when it comes to the negative aspects of sugar.
Therefore, it really doesn’t seem like that big of a deal and many people simply choose to ignore the idea of keeping sugar down to a minimum. If they aren’t that concerned about vanity or their body-weight, then they choose to ignore this idea of avoiding sugar altogether and in doing so, they are setting themselves up for inviting the #1 cause of disease into their lives.
This week, I’ll be focusing in and sharing with you the REAL and TRUE dangers of sugar, and why eliminating sugar from your diet might just save your life.
I'll be taking you through the following:
- This seemingly un-talked about disease and what it causes in the body
- The additional diseases that is contributes to
- The hard facts and statistics behind this claim
- Just enough science to help you understand (but not so much as to overwhelm)
- How you can take 3 simple steps to prevent/reduce the risk of this disease from being in your life
Share this one with anyone you can! This is likely affecting your parents, your grandparents, your friends, and your siblings.
Let me be clear and transparent with you...
This is NOT about me trying to get views (I do not monetize my channel). This is about saving as many lives as possible through education.
Have a blessed week!

One thing that I find is sorely missing from the various health & fitness channels is the willingness or desire from anyone to talk about the impact that our mental health has on our overall physical health & appearance.
In my opinion, and based on over ½ a century of personal experience, our mental health is directly linked to our ability to lose weight, grow muscle and maintain consistent, long-term optimal health.
So, for instructors who only focus on the physical exercise and nutrition as the solution to losing weight, they are not providing you with the ENTIRE package of what it takes to make long-term change. They are providing you with only one side of the puzzle.
The best environment for a person to make significant change, gain momentum and to avoid setbacks, is an environment of peace and positivity.
This week, I’ll be sharing with you 4 simple steps you can take in order to bring some positivity into your life, preventing a life of chaos, and allowing to most optimal environment to successfully shed the weight & keep it off for a lifetime.
I'll be taking you through these 4 easy, but effective steps:
- Removing Negativity From Your Life
- Avoiding & Preventing Chaos
- How To Surround Yourself with Positivity
- Setting an Example
If you are TIRED of the negativity and chaos, then this week's blog should help you greatly!
Enjoy!

Sometimes you might feel like the whole world seems to be against you.
You might feel like every single step you take in the right direction is constantly riddled with roadblocks, challenges and re-direction.
On top of that, you may actually have people in your life that call you crazy, or that think you are crazy and share their opinion with others.
They see what you are trying to do. They know that you are trying to get exercise into your daily routine, or that you want to try some different eating approach, and they just don’t get it.
Their first response is “She’s obsessed with fitness” or “He’s an exercise junky” or “Oh yah, that guy’s crazy, he posted the other day that he just ran 20 miles!”
For some people, this can really make them step back and question whether it is all worth it. They may begin to question their whole approach, as they want to fit in and be viewed as “normal”.
Well, this week I decided rather than give you some steps to follow, this episode will be more of something that you can simply listen to and lean in and allow yourself to simply FEEL the message.
This week, I’m going to share with you my perspective of how to deal with people that call you crazy.
It's all a matter of perspective as you will soon find out.

So, you know you want to lose a few pounds, but have you ever really stopped and took a moment to determine how much weight you actually need to lose?
Like most people, you might find occasion where you catch a glimpse in the mirror or simply look down and you say to yourself "I really could lose a few pounds" or "I think I need to lose 10 to 15 pounds".
That seemed to be the magic number that I used to blurt out like a parrot. “I need to lose 10 to 15 pounds”
Well, what I eventually learned was that things were much worse than i thought they were. It was probably one of the most hard pills i ever had to swallow, but once i did, it allowed me to get real, dial-in and focus-in on the target i had ahead of me.
This week, I take you through a process of determining just how much weight you really need to lose through...
#1 Realization
#2 Reaction
#3 Clarity
After you listen to this week's episode and follow the steps, you may be greatly surprised at how much weight you really need to lose, but at least you will have the correct steps to follow!
