281: How Can You Ever Expect to Enjoy Exercise When You Use Words Like Torture and Suffering to Describe It

Fitness For Freedom Tips

If you’re new to the show welcome, if you’ve been listening for a while thanks for coming back we appreciate that you’ve taken time out of your busy day to listen and hope that in return you get some valuable information and some things that you can apply into your everyday life to be the healthiest and most active version of yourself.

One of our trainer’s Richard just started working with a new client and after their first session she came on our facebook page and posted this and I quote:

Thank you Richard, a bit of torture today but I feel great

A client I used to work with that was trying to lose weight, would eat a bag of potato chips everyday in the afternoon for a snack, not a little bag, a big bag and after months of trying different strategies to get her to not stop, but just eat less or a smaller bag, I finally asked her why she needed to eat potato chips everyday and her response was - Because I don’t want to suffer and to me not eating chips is suffering.

279: How to Build Your Exercise Program to Fit Your Life

If you’re new to the show welcome, if you’ve been listening for a while thanks for coming back we appreciate that you’ve taken time out of your busy day to listen and hope that in return you get some valuable information and some things that you can apply into your everyday life to be the healthiest and most active version of yourself.

Before we get into the main part of the show I just want to take a minute to extend a special thanks to Sheri for alerting us to an audio issue that had been occurring for the last 10 episodes or so and giving us the very specific time of when it was happening. Thank you for helping us instead of saying screw you and leaving a negative review, we really appreciate that.

Now, onto the show.

One of our trainer’s, Richard, has a client that he has been working with once a week for a few months. Over this time he found that the client was really devoted and putting in a full effort for their one hour session together, but was having trouble doing the workout when Richard wasn't there directly supervising him. Some trainers may have given this client a hard time and tried to shame or guilt them into doing the workout, other’s might aggressively say, you have to make yourself do it, because you know you should do it, other trainers might take a more passive approach and have the client use a strategy like putting their gym clothes on first thing in the morning and reminding themselves of how good they’ll feel after they’re done. But not Richard he said nothing like that, instead he asked this question.

282: Can I Exercise During My 2 Hour Commute?

Magically Nutritious - I was just wondering about nutritional labels, you’ve done some videos on them and mention a lot of minerals and vitamins - what are the most important ones to be looking out for?

JR - I spend about 1.5 to 2 hours a day driving for my daily commute. Do you have any suggestions, besides listening to your podcast, to use this time productively towards fitness goals? Maybe some exercises or stretches that can be safely done while driving or some common ergonomic problems that I should try to avoid?

Ready for Greatness - I’m preparing to run my first 10K. Is there anything I should keep in mind, certain ways I should train, anything I should avoid doing?
