Thank you Lindsay Milano for joining me on the Health in the Real World Podcast today.  Lindsay is a strength coach in Ohio. She has worked in a therapy clinic working with their fitness program. She started with Isagenix 3 years ago.   One of the most important things someone can do to get healthy is to start small. Big changes aren't manageable long term, so you really should start small.  If you fall off the wagon, just say, "Oh my gosh I had a bad meal today,” and then get back on the wagon. You won't be perfect, just aim for progress over the long term. Plan your cheat days. Getting healthy is NOT about restricting yourself.   It’s important to do something you can manage until it's a habit. Don't compare yourself to others Stay off social media Stay in your “lane” Always go back to your “why” Use the seven layer why. Keep asking “why” seven times until you get to the really deep and emotional reason why you’re doing this. You can even leave notes everywhere with your why to remind yo

A special thanks to Lindsey Heiserman for joining me on the Health in the Real World podcast. Today we talk about marathons, obstacle races, and strength training. Lindsey shares some great advice for beginners, just go for a walk in your pajamas. Do this lower intensity exercise and gradually you can increase. Exercise is just as mental as it is physical. If you’re not exercising as much as you “should,” what else is going on? Let's figure out the reason I'm ready to focus on my nutrition, I did it for five days. We talk about walking the line of getting "excessive" with exercise, and also about getting healthy when you have a sweet tooth. You CAN create the life you want to have, but it doesn't mean it will be easy. We can make positive choices and create time freedom. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/health-in-the-real-world/message

Thank you Justen Arnold for joining me on The Health in the Real World Podcast today. Here are some highlights of our conversation: Husband and father are the most important "labels" Been in the business for 15 years Trains people on a mind, spirit, and physical level Focus on moving better, and feeling better Justen tries to meet people where they are No person is the same. Getting a personal trainer is about establishing a relationship. Is he the right trainer for you? If so, he takes people through a movement screen, one that he's created himself. Justen strives to listen to clients, and really understand their WHY!! Most people haven't thought about why they want to lose weight, but with his "7 why's" he uncovers people's true motivation. It's important to understand your TRUE motivation. Do you really want to look like society wants you to, or do you really truly just want to be healthy enough to play with your kids? No more excuses!! When you have a real true reason, you will be able to motivate yoursel

It was great having Matt Peale join me for his second time on the Health in the Real World podcast. June is men's health month, which was the main topic of conversation. Some highlights of our conversation: Trainers are not indestructible humans, we need to follow protocols like everyone Progressive overload is an easy, slow, boring process, but it works We can apply it to clients of all ages We can use progressive overload to push ourselves, regardless of their age it's a trainer's job to push you to the next level, to give you confidence before you start The CDC puts out physical guidelines, CDC says 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise per week. That's only 21 minutes per day (doesn't have to be continuous) Plus do 2 days per week of resistance training The heart doesn't know WHAT you're doing, it just knows it needs to beat faster, the more complex our movements are, the more your brain needs to work to stay sharp Do what you love Instead of "straight line cardio" maybe

A big thank you to Cory Stone for joining me on Health in the Real World today. Cory is the founder of CW Studios, a lifestyle website that helps people chase their dreams and access their full potential. Fitness helped Cory get to know himself. During this time he was relying on high intensity interval training. Cory says t's important to know your limits, and in reality you don't have limits. With HIIT, you can maximize your workouts to be the most efficient in the least amount of time. Fitness helps you to understand your body and your preferences. if you want to be in this for the long-term, you need to take care of your body. Cory helps to coach you in your life by talking about your favorite movie. He can learn about you as a person, such as what barriers are blocking your way, why you are relating to this film. He helps you to break that down, which helps you to build out your world. What do you want to do in your life? How do you manage those thoughts in your head. This is life coaching through movies
