Habits and Hustle

Are you doing ALL the fitness and diet things, but you’re still struggling to lose the last 10 pounds?

In today’s Fitness Friday episode on the Habits and Hustle podcast, I chat with Sal Di Stefano from Mind Pump about what is needed to lose those last few pounds and the importance of building muscle. We also discuss what to do if you’re not someone who loves strength training. It’s important to love the exercise you’re doing, otherwise, you won’t do it! Overall, we offer guidance on what to do to look good if that is your goal.

Sal Di Stefano, along with Justin, Doug, and Adam, is a host on the Mindpump Podcast. They bring quality fitness and health information to the masses with integrity and honesty. Sal’s goal is to shift the direction of the fitness industry from an aesthetic insecurity based industry to a self love and self care health industry. He accomplishes this with education through entertainment.

What we discuss:

What to do to lose the last 10 pounds
Muscle is like invested money
Want to look good? Chase health

In an age where screens and social media are eroding our kids' self-confidence, it's time to rebel.
