Fitness Talks With Tyson The Trainer

I have decided to start preaching about the good enough gang. The good enough gang is doing something good enough to get the health benefits that you're after. The reason this is important to me is that I don't want people to be consumed by health and fitness, I don't want you to think that you have to obsess about your health every day. I want to share with you that doing good enough is what you...

The day-one mentality is an excellent way to get out of a mental rut. It's very easy for people to get caught up and think about their behaviours yesterday and get upset if they fall off track. Yet when you change that mentality and not let yesterday effect today's actions, you can get yourself back on track and just focus on today.

So many people get caught up in using the scale as their only measure of progress, and that's an issue. If you are only using the scale weight as your measure of progress, then you're going to be very disappointed on a daily basis. The scale is just a tool in your tool belt, but it's not the only tool you should use to measure progress. 

Pre-workouts are such a popular supplement that people take before the gym but are they worth the hype? There are only four evidence-based supplements that you should be taking if your goal is to make the most out of your performance. Two of these are only for the gym, and the others are for the aerobic side of things. Give this podcast a listen to find out about the supplements that are proven to...

Health and Fitness isn't a six or ten-week program; it's something you want to sustain for the rest of your life. So I want to share with you what that looks like when it comes to keeping the weight off that you've lost while still having balance in your life. You never have to give anything up forever, but your overall lifestyle will have to be modified. You can have your cake and eat it, too, if...

Every single little thing you do daily adds up. Those little habits that you think don't matter, matter a lot. These little habits that we do drive our behaviour and our identity, and we have to take into consideration what those things are. It's not about what you do on one day that counts; it's what you do every single day that adds up.

One thing people underestimate is their environment. We always get caught up in thinking we don't have enough "willpower" or we need to be more disciplined. But what if we didn't have to worry about that so much? What if there was an easier way to avoid temptation and willpower and make the chances of you succeeding a lot higher? This is what I'm covering in today's podcast.

What if I told you there's an easier way to lose fat than to focus on doing cardio. While cardio can help you lose body fat and increase your calorie expenditure, it doesn't mean you're guaranteed to lose body fat. Instead of focusing on just trying to burn calories, you also need to consider your calorie intake.

So it's the start of the year, and you're excited to start getting fit and healthy. The issue is that 80% of people fail their new years resolutions within the first three weeks of the year, I don't want you to be part of that statistic! Before you go balls to the wall and change everything at once, I want you to listen to this podcast because I'm going to help set you up for success!  

You may have heard the term sports nutrition before but what does that mean? What's the difference between regular nutrition and sports nutrition? In today's podcast, I'm going to explain to you what the difference is.

In today's podcast i've got a bunch of questions that I'm going to be anserwering. From Intermittent fasting and Keto for weight loss, to my pet peeves in the fitness industry,

It's easy to get caught up in your head when the scale increases. You get inside your head; you start to think you look puffy or that you're not making progress and that everyone is judging you. The funny thing is that no one will even notice because, guess what, you wouldn't have noticed either if you didn't weigh yourself. You cannot physically tell if your weight has fluctuated by 1 - 3kg on a...

So over the last year, I just wanted to take a step back and share with you guys what went well and what didn't. Most people will only share their wins and talk about the good things, but there is nothing wrong with discussing what you struggled with. So I'm sharing my wins and struggles and what I want to keep working on in 2023.

One of the biggest struggles people face is falling into peer pressure when dieting. Their friends, spouse or colleague, tries to encourage them not to worry about the diet and "live a little" and then they make bad decisions. The funny thing is, people will blame their friends etc but they have never had a serious conversation about their goals. If you want your friends, family and spouse to supp...

People say they want to gain muscle, but saying and doing are two different things. If you want to commit to a gaining phase you have to accept that you will gain body fat along the way and will not feel "comfortable" at certain times. If you can embrace this and accept that you won't look "super lean" you can set yourself up for a successful gaining phase.

Trying to gain muscle isn't easy, it takes quite a bit of effort. Not only does it require effort it requires a time component and this is where a lot of people get stuck. You don't gain muscle over a month or even two months, it requires a longer period of time for growth. Find out how long you should be gaining for and how much you should be aiming to gain each week.

Cardio is something I used to laugh at when people would recommend it. "Who needs cardio when I go to the gym?" and this is what I used to say to clients too. How wrong I was! Cardio is so important not just for your overall health but really with whatever goals you have! Give today's podcast a listen to find out why you should do it.

Going into a dieting phase can be exciting, and people want to get to it as fast as possible. I understand this because wanting to start making yourself healthier and losing some body fat is always motivating. The issue is that it's not always best to go straight into a deficit, especially when you don't have a baseline. This is why I created today's podcast to explain what you must do before you...

Going out to eat is a normal part of your life, and I want to show you how you can keep that in, even when dieting. There are a few guidelines you need to stick to when you go about this but having some guidelines is better than not being able to eat out at all. Please give this a listen so you now how to apply it to yourself.

It's inevitable that at some point, you will get sick.   You may also find yourself bedridden at some point due to a surgery you must recover from.   While this does suck, one thing people can also get hung up on is that they think all of their hard work in the gym will be wasted, but is that the case?   Find out in today's episode of the podcast.

When setting goals, you have to change your mindset with how you set them. People set themselves up for failure because they choose the wrong goals to focus on and think they have to set unrealistic stupid things. If you change your mindset when it comes to goal setting and you think about what you can realistically do, you're going to set yourself up for success in the long-term.

People get caught up and think they've ruined everything when they've had one day of over eating. The thing is, it's not that easy to gain fat (thankfully). If it were, we'd all in a lot of trouble, so I want to help you change your brain and think differently about what happens when you over eat.

Christmas can be a struggle for a lot of people who struggle with their food. This used to be the case for me and I used to really suffer with trying to control my urges and it always lead to binge eating. However, I was able to overcome that and in today's episode, I want to share with you how you can also over come it.

One of the most significant issues I notice when people fall off track is that they get caught up in mistakes. They beat themselves up; they call themselves names, and they think that they have to kick themselves when they're down or that they have to try harder when it may not be the case. When you fall off track, that is an opportunity to learn from that mistake, not to beat yourself up and feel...

With December coming around the corner, one of the most important things to focus on is doing it right. You don't want to go through December regretful because you couldn't control yourself with your food and alcohol. So here's my recommendation on how to handle it.
