RNT Fitness Radio

A huge milestone for us here on RNT Fitness Radio as we've hit episode 250! Pretty crazy how far it's come since starting it at the end of 2017, and a massive thank you to everyone who's shared this journey with us so far. On today's episode, I've brought my wife on to shift gears from the usual topics and discuss what it's been like in the first six months of marriage, exploring our relationship...

How you start your journey is critical for long-term success. Phase One of our Transformation Journey is Cleaning the Palate (CTP), which is all about regaining control of your day, setting up your structure, strategy and systems, and building the foundations for success both in the short and long term. The best analogy is one described in my book, which is one of a house, and phase one is where y...

I started writing these reflections in 2017. I met my now wife, Chandni, in the middle of 2018, and at the end of every year I'll ask her, "has this been your best year yet?" And every year, my answer has always been a resounding yes.   I couldn't imagine getting to the end of the year and not thinking, "damn, who was I a year ago?!" Before I write my top learnings for the year, I look back at pas...

What a journey it's been for Sanj. Her email, nearly 3 years to the day in 2018, was titled with one word: "help". I still remember opening it. In a really dark place feeling like there was no way out, the one thing she desired more than anything was control. When everything around you may be falling apart, there's only a few things you can still control: your body being one of them.   The first a...

This episode is a little different to the norm, where we discuss our own eating and training practices that we've cultivated to form our own lifestyle solution over the past decade. Finding what works for you takes a ton of trial and error, and for nutrition, as an example, it's about finding what satiates you, tastes good, makes you feel good, is practical, and is effortless. If you don't crack t...

The question of how fat is too fat, and how flexible is too flexible when building muscle is a question we get all the time.

We also touch on how in many cases, building muscle when life gets social and bu...

In this episode of #RNTFitnessRadio we pull the pin and ask: what really matters in the realm of body transformation? Is it 80% nutrition, is it all about training, do steps count? We answer the question to: when life gets busy, what actually produces your results. This is for those who are en route to getting into shape and for those deeply investing in muscle growth, where the ratios, percentage...

The number one driver of muscle building is simple: training hard. You can eat in a calorie surplus, use perfect form, and pick the right exercises - all of which are necessary too, but if you don't apply serious intensity, nothing will happen. In fact, without intensity, you'll probably just gain a load of body fat. I know we've spoken about the choice you have at the point you're in the shape of...

Every session is an opportunity to grow, in some shape or form. So, whatever you can do to optimise the hour you spend in the gym means more gains, more strength and more results. In this episode, we dive into how we manipulate our training environment based on training in the morning, afternoon or evening, how it coincides with work, and why solid training and activity is the crux of being a high...

A few months before Akshar started his RNT Journey in May 2020 during a fire drill he had to carry his daughter and puppy down several flights of stairs. He was shocked and surprised that what should have been a routine and simple activity felt so hard. That was the first of the two alarm bells that went off in his head.  The second alarm bell was less of a shocker, but the long-term effect on the...
