05: Should You Go To The Gym To Lose Weight? Plus 10 Reasons Why You Might Want To Go To The Gym Aside From Weight Loss
06/12/23 • 60 min
In today's podcast not only is it my birthday, but I'll be asking you the questions:
1. Is it REQUIRED to go the gym to lose weight?
2. "Should" you go to the gym to lose weight?
Two different questions which may or may not have different answers - let's see how you answer it.
Also, I'll discuss 10 reasons why you might want to go to the gym (or at the very least do "planned" exercise) that will benefit you outside of just, weight loss.
I've also been known to go on tangents so you might learn a little about:
- How to start going to the gym if you want to but find it hard to get started
- Are people judging you in the gym?
- What I would do if I saw someone judging or making fun of someone in the gym
- What I'm paying attention to in the gym when I'm looking at someone work out
Give it a listen or watch on YouTube and send me a DM on Instagram (@john.hoff35) or comment on YouTube (@john.hoff35) and let me know what you think about all this.
Are you a gym goer or is it not for you? Or are you on the fence about it? Let me know.

04: Should You Only Focus On Whole Foods To Lose Weight?
Can you eat processed foods like bread, pasta, cookies, and McDonald's and still lose weight?
In today's podcast I'll be sharing my thoughts on whether or not whole foods should be your primary focus or if you can choose to basically eat what you're eating now and lose weight.
I'm sure you've seen people who eat sandwiches and still not have a ton of weight on them, so it seems possible, doesn't it?
We'll discuss some of the advantages of whole foods over consuming highly processed foods in regards to weight loss and then I'll give you my suggestion on where and what I tell my clients when first starting out losing weight or trying yet another time after past failures.
