It's easy to speak, run your mouth and then do NOTHING. What good are information and knowledge if you don't do anything about it? All that and more in this heavy Q&A episode.

Your experience with training is HUGE in the sense that your personal awareness of your emotions as you go through the fitness roller coaster. It is very easy to FEEL bored, even when you are seeing progress. It is a product of impatience that can lead to negative emotions that will impact your future progress.

It's not easy making progress, no matter what it is - building muscle, losing weight. It is a process that takes months and YEARS. Thinking it happens fast or should happen faster is a fundamental shortcoming.

Narrowing down your training approach is a gold mine to squeeze every last drop of progress out of an exercise. Try keeping your volume the same, but decreasing how many exercises you are choosing during a workout. Less exercises, more sets, more FOCUS.

Topics covered are stress management via active recovery, yoga, meditation and more and its importance to balance hormone profiles in the body to reduce fat and improve overall wellness. Also, a large portion of this podcast covered the fitness industry and the pros and cons with training certifications and getting involved on a professional level.

What goes in your mouth is all that matters, not all the temptations or the CHALLENGE of it, but in the end what you actually end up eating or NOT eating...

Are you training for performance OR for how you look? Both are great and what your goals are are YOUR individual goals, however it is important to train the right way for your specific outcome.
