Finding Fitness Motivation (And How To Set Your Mind Up For Success)
Fitness facts and coffee chats
02/24/22 • 54 min
How do you stay motivated when it comes to getting fit, losing weight, and completing goals?
Step one is to recognize some key sources where negative thoughts begin:
- Social media, family/friends, work, your own inner voice, etc.
Step two is understanding these guiding principles:
- Fitness motivation is a myth
- What we fill our minds with shapes how we think of ourselves and are ability to achieve our goals
- Guard your mind! Create systems and solutions that foster success
- Screens can be a burden or a blessing, use them wisely
Step three is to create solutions:
- Get sleep
- Get a lockbox for your phone
- Help your friends, and yourself, get out of negative conversations (negative feedback loops)
- H-anger is a real thing, eat well
- Screens can be used for good or evil, limit your screen time and be intentional with it when you are on them
- Focus on being a better YOU, not anyone else
- Create a routine
Disclaimer: If you’re having consistent negative thoughts and you cannot seem to get a grip on your inner chatter, seek professional guidance. Find a therapist that can help you sort through these thoughts. There’s no shame in that game.

10/06/22 • 36 min
You've got the bug to tone up and slim down. Not really sure where to start, but that's okay because you know hustlers gotta hustle and you're in it to win it this time.
Couple weeks go by, nothing is changing. No worries, just another week and those muscles will start popping. Two more weeks go by, nothing. Alright, we gave it a shot. Maybe the diet you chose wasn't the right one or the exercises weren't intense enough. Whatever it was too tough anyway, guess that fitness lifestyle was a pipe dream after all.
NOOOO!
Take it from a Registered Dietitian and career trainer, you don't have to have the best plan on earth to be successful. Whether you want your joints to hurt less, look better naked, or just feel more confident in your own skin we have some tips that will help you find success.
In today's pod Ashley and Trevor break down some of the reasons people quit, how to avoid them, and where to put your focus to ensure your fitness lifestyle sticks for the long haul.
Want to take a deep dive? If you're in the Tulsa area be sure to sign up for Ashley's seminar on November 3rd at 6:30p at Nikao Strength and Conditioning. She's going to give you more of the details on how to build lean muscle tissue, why everyone should be doing it, and some special offers to help you get started.

Make Your Workouts Intense?
Fitness facts and coffee chats
07/02/22 • 57 min
Here's what a lot of people think regarding fitness and results, "To get the best results you have to be super intense, all the time!"
That is daunting and exhausting. People start to think, "No wonder I can’t (lose weight, get stronger, faster, etc.), I don’t have that intensity, therefore I cannot be fit. Why bother starting at all? I can’t commit to 7 days a week 2-3 hour workout sessions everyday."
Adam and Trevor have a cumulative 20+ years of training experience and watching other folks train in the gym with all different kinds of commitment levels, the ones that see the best results are the consistent people.
Getting to your next level of fitness doesn’t always mean giving up any and all free time. Being consistent is FAR more important than going hard during your workouts.
The solution to losing body comp, getting stronger, moving faster, being pain free is to be consistent.
Here's your homework after this pod:
Create a routine for the rest of the week, even if you’re starting mid-week, to get some kind of a workout under your belt.
Reward yourself when you reach milestones, but remember effort first THEN reward.
Success looks like:
Having a CONSISTENT training schedule
Failure looks like:
Having sporadic, intense workouts that get you injured or demotivated

How to Get a Six Pack
Fitness facts and coffee chats
03/16/20 • 34 min
What is at the top of nearly every fitness wish list?
Visible abdominal muscles, better known as the elusive, six pack.
Working out isn't just about vanity and aesthetics. Perhaps you started working out to move without pain, decrease fatigue, increase bone mineral density, or to get stronger. These are goals that we should all be chasing, but at the end of the day, you're going to put in a good amount of effort to achieve these goals. Wouldn't it be nice to have a little something to show for the effort?
We believe so and we believe you can achieve all the aforementioned goals AND get your six pack, but you're going to have to work for it.
This episode, Adam and I will unravel the not-so-secret, secrets to winning the battle of the bulge.
Listen to the podcast, apply our combined knowledge to your daily life, and watch great things happen to your body and mind.
Listen to the podcast, do nothing, and you get to continue telling yourself the lie that you really don't want to get that lean anyway.
