Ja. Nicht nur gewollt, sondern geplant.
Gewichtstechnisch steht Max nun wieder am gleichen Ort wie vor 15 Monaten.

Im Interview mit Max erklรคrt er:
๐ Wie sich Krafttraining auf sein Gewicht ausgewirkt hat (Shocker!)
๐ Wieso er heute mehr Krafttraining und weniger Ausdauer macht
๐ Wie er sich organisiert und welche Trainingsstruktur er befolgt
๐ Wie sich nicht nur sein Kรถrper verรคnderte, sondern auch seine Lebenseinstellung
๐ Wie viel mehr Leistung er heute gegenรผber 15 Monaten erbringen kann
Enjoy.
PS: Das Interview ist besonders empfehlenswert fรผr diejenigen, die aktuell viel Ausdauer machen und (noch) wenig Kraft. ๐
-7kg trotz Berufsalltag und Mami sein? Geht das?
Und ob!
Mirjam trainiert jedoch nicht im Fitnesscenter.
โ
Dies wรคre mit ihrer Tรคtigkeit als Kosmetikerin und dem 3-jรคhrigen Sohn nur schwer zu vereinbaren.
โ
Was hingegen gut funktioniert: das Training Zuhause!
โ
Seit gut drei Monaten trainiert Mirjam nun mit zwei Hanteln und protokolliert ihre Fortschritte in der GymPerformance App.
โ
Ernรคhrungstechnisch gab es auch eine Umstellung - jedoch nichts Extremes.
โ
Wie sie im Interview erklรคrt, hat sie vor dem Coaching bereits diverse Sachen probiert, unter anderem Weight Watchers und Hypnose-Therapie.
โ
Langfristiger Erfolg blieb jedoch immer aus.
โ
Zumindest bis jetzt!
โ
Denn nun hat sie etwas gefunden, das funktioniert, nicht einschrรคnkt und ihr gar Spass bereitet.
โ
Was Mirjam zum Coaching sagt, was ihr am meisten Schwierigkeiten bereitet und welche Effekte das Coaching nebst dem Fettabbau hatte, findest du im Interview.

Wie nachhaltig ist ein Online-Coaching?
Genau darum geht es in dieser Episode.
Im Interview mit Alberto Stolfi, Familienvater und Informatiker bei UBS, diskutiere ich, wie nachhaltig ein Online-Coaching wirklich ist und welchen langfristigen Einfluss es auf das Gewicht haben kann.
Unter anderem frage ich ihn:
- Warum er Online-Coaching gegenรผber physischem Coaching bevorzugt
- Ob er in den 1,5 Jahren jemals einen Jojo-Effekt erlebt hat
- Wie er es schafft, auch im Urlaub fit zu bleiben
- Wie er Arbeit, Familie und Fitness erfolgreich unter einen Hut bringt
Und vieles mehr!
In dieser Episode teile ich mit euch 10 Prinzipien fรผr einen starken Kรถrper und ein positives Mindset.
Ursprรผnglich habe ich die Prinzipien fรผr meine Kunden entwickelt, damit sie bessere Ergebnisse erzielen. Schnell wurde mir jedoch bewusst, dass sich die Prinzipien nicht nur auf Fitness, sondern allgemein im Leben anwenden lassen.
Verinnerliche sie, und du wirst nicht nur bessere Resultate sehen, sondern auch definitiv glรผcklicher durchs Leben gehen.
Tipp: Drucke die 10 Prinzipien aus und platziere sie an einem Ort, wo du sie regelmรครig siehst. Du findest das Poster hier: https://gymperformance.ch/prinzipien

Es folgt ein Interview mit Massimo Rizzo, dem Geschรคftsfรผhrer von NATURA STEIN AG.โ
Offen.โ Ehrlich. โUnd vรถllig transparent.โ
Massimo erwรคhnt, dass er sich wohler fรผhlt, die Kleider besser passen und er von seinem Umkreis auf die kรถrperlichen Verรคnderungen angesprochen wird.โ
Trotzdem ist er meiner Meinung nach noch viel zu humble.โ
Massimo meint nรคmlich, dass er wohl noch mehr aus den drei Monaten hรคtte rausholen kรถnnen.โ Und das ist nicht falsch - mehr geht immer.โ
ABER Ferien abzusagen oder soziale Events zu verpassen - das wรคre aus meiner Sicht zu extrem.โ
Vielmehr feiere ich es, dass er trotz Ferien, trotz Weekend Getaways und gelegentlichem Alkohol vorangeht. โ
Zehn Kilo in drei Monaten ist doch eine beachtliche Leistung.
Erst recht, wenn man in Betracht zieht, dass Massimo vorher schon trainierte und nicht von Null gestartet ist.โ
Wie er das Coaching empfindet, was ihm gefรคllt und wieso es so gut funktioniertโฆโ findest du hier im Interview.

In today's episode, I'm tackling a topic that's close to my heart and crucial for anyone looking to truly improve their fitness and health: the obsession with finding an easy solution or a "magic pill" for getting in shape.

After over a year in Thailand, we've now left the country.
Definitely not an easy decision, and to be honest, I already miss it:
The food ๐, the tropical climate โ๏ธ, the beach ๐, the warmth ๐ก, the friendliness of the people ๐...
The lifestyle in Thailand was incredibly appealing to me...
BUT as a family man, it's not just about me.
There are a few other factors to consider, not just one's own well-being.
Now, in this (somewhat emotional) episode, I share the reasons for the move and where we're heading to next ๐.

"๐ ๐ฑ๐ผ๐ป'๐ ๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ ๐ผ๐๐!" ๐โ
Do you have an idea how often I hear this? Way too often!
I believe that ANYONE can make time to work out.
I have clients who work 12+ hours a day, run multiple businesses, and have a family.
And even these high achievers make it to the gym.
The difference between those who "don't have time" and those who make time is simple: attitude.
One doesn't see the benefit and the value. He keeps doing nothing (until one day he doc prescribes exercises because their health is in a critical condition.ย
The other one knows how working out benefits his life. He knows he has more energy and self-esteem, is more productive, and feels and looks better.
For one person, working out is important. For the other person it isn't.
I hope you belong to the former group.

A few years ago, I realized something. All of the people I looked up to because they achieved success in their field had one thing in common: they journaled. In fact, if you watch videos where successful people talk about high-performance habits, they will all list journaling. ย ย After my realization, I decided that I, too would start journaling, and Iโve now been journaling for 4 years. ย ย I believe journaling has contributed to my positive attitude and helped me to get where I am today. ย In this episode, I talk about the various benefits of journaling and give you reasons to journal too.
