TTRU Fitness Podcast with Adrian Conway

Today Adrian dives deep into history and highlights the legendary Harriet Tubman. He discusses the highlights of her pursuing her own freedom not to live a life for herself and convenance but only to go back and free those whom didn't even know they were slaves. She freed those who couldn't free themselves and also brought to the light many harsh truth's to those who had been living in the darknes...

Today Adrian goes in on the common glamorization of "the grind". He hits a few points on the fact that hours in the gym, days at the work place or hours with your family doesn't mean that any of those things are done with quality. He challenges us to ask ourselves what is our intention? How present are we? And are we being singularly focused while working at those tasks? 

Today Adrian discusses how we innately chase pleasure and shrink back from pain. The ironic thing is what he explains how pain, loss or setback is our greatest teacher! He challenges us to reflect back on those moments in our lives and how they've created new energies, focuses and momentum in different ways. 

Today Adrian kicks off the new century mark with an MLK quote! With it being a Monday, episode 101 AND the first day of Black History Month this episode hits all the points we ought to be paying attention to.

The aim is to educate, inspire and entertain us as listeners to be something more and rise up above the mundane expectations of the world we live in. The reason this show exists is to spur along greatness in each of us. Adrian also hints at some exciting things to come in the next 100 episodes, so please listen, take ac...

Adrian reflects today on our role in our life, we are the producers! We get to have the final say in what is said, what actions are taken and ultimately the path of our journey. We sometimes tend to forget that we are the captains of this ship and that we have those rights and abilities. Don't fall victim to your environment, thoughts or the expectations of others around you. Create a vision, writ...

Today Adrian shares a story about hearing "Curiosity kills the cat" quite a bit growing up. His Father would use the saying to deter his thoughts from things that may act as a distraction through his teenage years. While the teaching has some absolute worth in this way, it seems to fizzle out of value as we reach adulthood. Are you curious? Do you ask a lot of questions or do you just accept thing...

Today Adrian asks the listener to stop, breathe, listen and reflect. This message is to the whole community of listeners that ranges from high achievers to folks that are really struggling right now. The whole point is to reflect on where you've been, how you've gotten here and to realize that where ever "here" is, that you won't be there for long! 

We lost an episode this week. This was originally going to be Tuesday's episode but here we are! And it will not disappoint. Adrian dives into some of the things he has used in his past to catapult him to new opportunities. The key theme is that someones routine may seem bulletproof, but they are only practicing the obvious things. Take some inventory today and this week and see what needs to be a...

Today Adrian shares a quote from Albert Einstein that challenges the listener to listen to their inward voices. What are the momentary conversations that are taking place in our heads? What do we say? What do we feel? How do we respond? Do negative thoughts take you captive? Do you feel like the victim in every situation? If so, you are not alone. But today we get to recognize that those feelings...

Today Adrian brings to light the essence of competition. Yes, it can be productive, it can be motivating but it can also be paralyzing. To constantly be in battle with someone other than yourself will become exhausting. To always focus on winning and not betterment of oneself will leave your journey more stressful than it is fruitful. Today we will fight to view our peers as motivators and ourselv...

Adrian shares his experiences of playing D1 college football and seeing walk-on's come onto the team each semester. Some stayed, some left, others thrived and earned a starting position and their own scholarship. How can we apply the same approach that the successful walk-on's used? Today we are encouraged to find our goals and go and take them. 

Today Adrian shares a very common quote about leadership, but with a twist. He challenges the original meaning of the quote, shares some personal stories and challenges us to lead by example, not simply with our words. 

Today Adrian pays homage to Martin Luther King Jr. He recognizes his own admiration for him and ties in how it effects everything he does and who he has become throughout his life. He then goes to challengen the audience not to be "watered down" by the words or thoughts of others just like MLK refused to do. At times we can each be willing to compromise our own beliefs or opinions in order to be m...

Go, share, encourage, inspire and let today's episode spark your fire to be a spark for someone else's light. 

Today Adrian speaks on one of his favorite attributes to train and to practice, doing one thing at a time. He discusses how this is one of the most overlooked qualities of successful humans, entrepenuers, parents, athletes and the list goes on. Doing one thing at at time and giving that one thing your full attention and proper intensity is what will allow you to reach new levels of success. To put...

Today Adrian gets real about the process and the journey to any goal. While we will have our sights set on the highest achievements in business, in competition, in sports, or in life, we won't be perfect. Our aim isn't to be 10/10, but if we can get a few 10/10's and rely heavily on our ability to perform 9/10 on a regular basis we will be on our way to achieving some amazing things! 

Today Adrian discusses a topic on winning and losing. In our society we get so caught up in protecting the hearts of our children we miss out on the real chance to help them cope, to deal to lose. In life, as Adrian says in today's episode, we will lose more than we win. It is important to learn how it feels, learn how to deal with it and learn how to overcome the set backs before they actually ha...

Adrian shares a valuable objective he tries to seek often. Doing something that scares you on a regular basis is hardly something you hear people discuss, but successful people are doing it and at a high rate. Today Adrian talks about why those that are successful are those willing to take more chances. 

Today Adrian spits that fire about growth! We all say we want to level up our lives, we all say we want to have more muscle or lose some body fat but, do we really want to put in the work? If you are listening today from Rise 45 then you know you are tired and sore and a little beat down. Well, Coach Conway says, "Good. It's what you deserve! If it were easy, everyone would do it."

Today Adrian challenges the audience to "dream". Not to dream about next month, or next year but 3 or 5 years from now. A time at which you hope to visualize and create the perfect day scenario. This drill that he talks through is a certain way to build expectations that will become direct actions in your life. In order to be where you want to be 5 years from now, you have to start living like tha...

Today Adrian explores a commonly talked about topic in morning routines. He then challenges that the most important routine of your day doesn't happen in the morning, it happens at night. Your personal sleep hygiene and what you do prior to bed is what effects your hormones, energy, focus and physical performance of the day to follow. 

Today Adrian hits the nail on the head when referencing the journey. "Take your time, it takes time." is something Adrian has said before on this show and is something he stands firmly by. No you haven't lost a few inches yet, or gained 7 pounds of muscle, but you are creating the habits, routines and disciplines that will. Settle in to the "new" and begin to identify with the new choices you are...

Today is day 1 of the #Rise45 challenge that Adrian is hosting with FNX! It is a challenge that is designed to change the current habits and disciplines by the participants to foster and healthier and happier lifestyle. This podcast will coincide with much of the challenge through the next 45 days to inspire consistent action by those taking part in it. Today Adrian hits on something that we have...

Today Adrian speaks challenges the audience to make 2021 a year like no other. Aside from setting audacious goals, correcting mistakes we have made in 2020 and also doing some inventory of our inner friends circle, we must invest in ourselves. This means spending time each and everyday in self enrichment, reading books, praying, meditating but creating the opportunity for growth. This is the key t...
