Have you ever thought "Hey I should probably start taking better care of my body!".....and then you kinda just went about your day and forgot about it??? I thought so.....I've been there too! The issue is that our body maintenance isn't on the forefront of our thought process until it becomes a real problem and surfaces as an injury, discomfort, and/or constant nagging pain. This week we are going to add several tools to your transformation toolbox as we focus on body maintenance and mobility with my special guest Dr. Jen Esquer. Doc Jen is a Doctor of Physical Therapy based out of Los Angeles, CA. This quote from her website (www.DocJenFit.com) perfectly sums up her mission: "My mission is to heal the world and the best way I can do that, is through empowering you to learn how to heal yourself!" Listen in as Doc Jen and I discuss: *Her background and how she became "Doc Jen Fit" *Her tips for people that do a lot of daily sitting. *Her advice on what you should do right before you go to sleep at night. *Her Mobility Method Course and the ONE exercise that I've been doing that has relieved shoulder pain that I've had every day for 15 straight months! At the end of our conversation I ask the Doc to speak on her thoughts of where "female fitness" is today and why she is excited to be a leader in the fitness community. This is probably my favorite part of the interview! Here is how you can connect with Doc Jen: www.DocJenFit.com https://www.instagram.com/docjenfit/ https://www.facebook.com/docjenfit After you finish listening to this episode please leave me a rating/review.

Sal Di Stefano was 14 years old when he touched his first weight and from that moment he was hooked. Growing up asthmatic, frequently sick and painfully skinny, Sal saw weightlifting as a way to change his body and his self-image. At age 18 his passion for the art and science of resistance training was so consuming that he decided to make it his profession and become a personal trainer. By 19 he was managing health clubs and by 22 he owned his own gym. After over 18 years as a personal trainer he has dedicated himself to bringing science and TRUTH to the fitness industry. Sal is also a dedicated father to a son and daughter. Adam Schafer is a IFBB men's physique Pro and fitness expert.

He is first and foremost a certified fitness expert who has an insatiable desire to help people in need of major lifestyle changes and daily accountable motivation.

Justin Andrews has an incredible passion to disrupt the personal training industry and create ground breaking programs and tools that fitness professionals and clients alike can benefit from. The fitness industry in general needs a massive face lift to speak more to the generation growing up with a more advanced technology tool kit. Justin's approach is to create programs that utilize technology as it advances and cut through the millions of options people face everyday when seeking specific information relating to their fitness needs.

A few weeks ago I got a Facebook message from an old friend of mine that has been a loyal Million Pound Mission podcast listener. Jeana is a former professional golfer that I was working with about eight years ago. A wrist injury forced her to leave the world of professional golf and she entered the corporate business world where she is now the director of global learning and talent development for Cook Medical. As many of us have experienced, a transition like this will bring some lifestyle changes and healthy routines can be easily lost. Since Jeana moved from being a pro athlete to being a business professional she has experienced several rounds of weight gain with intermittent attempts at weight loss to the tune of being about 70 lbs heavier than she was when I was first working with her as a pro athlete. Jeana is someone that is very easy to cheer for because she is so positive, energetic, and super hilarious! So when she reached out and asked me for some help to reclaim her healthy lifestyle and get in shape for the wedding there was no other answer than "HELL YES! I'm IN!". Listen in on this episode as Jeana and I discuss: *How important it is to have a strong WHY behind your goal. *The specific nutrition and fitness strategy for the first phase of her shredding for the wedding transformation. *Her cheat bank strategy that will allow her to both detox her system and reduce cravings while also continue to be social and have a few planned out cheat meals and a few cocktails as well. *How she was able to lose 10lbs in her first week of the program!

A couple of weeks ago I had a HUGE public speaking gig that I was super nervous about. I was scheduled to speak in front of my son Henry's 1st grade class! I knew that if I could keep the attention of this group of six year olds for 30 minutes then I was doing pretty good! So I delivered a talk about my three rules for having an awesome day: 1. Learn something. 2. Show love. 3. Feel inspired. My third rule sparked some conversation about the difference between being motivated and being inspired and I thought "What a great idea for a podcast!". So listen in on this episode as I discuss: *The key difference between being motivated and being inspired. *How this will impact your transformation success. *Three critical questions that you need to ask yourself right now so that you can remain inspired. *How this thought process will be a game changer for those that are trying to re-lose weight.

About a year ago I was listening to one of my favorite podcasts and I heard a guy named Ari Meisel talking about the concept of "less doing more living".......and I became immediately interested. He went on to use phrases like "productivity is my playground" and I was pretty much hooked. I immediately ordered his book, downloaded his app, and started absorbing as much information from this guy as I could. Through the wonderful world of podcasting I've been lucky enough to connect with Ari and when he agreed to come on my show for an interview I was PUMPED! Now with Ari being the "productivity guy" I knew this wasn't going to be a two hour long interview so I wanted to pack as much info as possible into a 20 minute session! In this episode Ari and I focus on two key topics: #1. How he was able to cure his Crohn's disease and how that process forced him into becoming ultra productive. #2. He delivers some key strategies that busy parents, like himself (he has four kids...two of which are twins), can use to experience less doing and more living and gain leverage in their lives! So check out this week's episode and think about how you can apply some of Ari's tips to become more efficient in your everyday routine.

"I just can't maintain this!"........This is a quote that I hear a lot as a fitness professional. People get into a program, enjoy some initial results, but then start to slowly convince themselves that they need to quit because they can't keep this up long term. My answer to this statement is always as follows: GOOD! I don't expect you to maintain this. You are in phase TWO of a three phase process. Phase THREE is the promised land where we find that balance between your health and your lifestyle....so hang in there because it is SO worth it! In this episode I cover the three phase process that I call The Healthy Lifestyle Balance Finder.

That is where Jen Hartney was when she got her cancer diagnosis. This episode is going to leave you inspired! Jen and I cover the following topics in our interview: *The key mindset shifts she made after her diagnosis. *The reasons why she chose to not do chemotherapy or hormone therapy. *The specific changes she made with her nutritional regimen so that she could put her body in a place where it could more effectively fight off her cancer. *Her specific advice for anyone that is facing a tough life situation.

The world of health and fitness is a super exciting place to be right now. It seems like new exciting bio hacks are being revealed every day. This has been a rapidly growing trend ever since I was in college. I remember taking classes as an exercise science major and thinking "Man....this stuff is way outdated compared to what I'm learning on the internet!". So with all of this new amazing info......I've noticed a problem popping up. People are feeling like they are "falling behind" if they aren't up to date with the latest bio hack. They feel like they need to get their DNA tested before they start so that they know the exact perfect program to use. Or maybe that have to get used to taking freezing cold showers and not eating for 16 hours each day before they can start seeing results. Many people are showing up at my virtual doorstep saying "HELP! I don't know where to start anymore!". As always, I've got your back my friends. Today we are going to talk about getting our foundation before we get fancy.

So there is a really common trap that I think we all tend to fall into from time to time......or all the time.....myself included. We get to thinking along the lines of "If I could just make XYZ happen then things will get easy for me!". In working with clients I will hear comments like: "If I can just lose 30lbs I will have this diet thing figured out and it's going to be smooth sailing from there!" "If I can just get this big promotion then I will be able to afford to take more time for the gym and my schedule will be easy!" "If I can just hang in there until the kids start going to school things will open up with my schedule and it will be easy to get in my workouts!" So today I'm going to talk about switching up our focus from "making things easy in the future" to "striving to make our current reality better" and explore the idea of the pain of growth vs the pain of decay.

TIME.....it's our most valuable resource and it seems like we never have enough. Unfortunately when we are running low on time the things that tend to get squeezed out of the schedule include our workouts, meal prep, sleep, and rejuvenation time. So we are all out there going 100 mph through our days as we cut out the things that we need to live a long, healthy life.........this is obviously a recipe for disaster. In this episode I'm going to cover the four lies that we all tend to tell ourselves about not having enough time to invest in our own health.

Ordinary....Superpowers......What? I know, the term kind of contradicts itself at first, but once you listen to my interview with author Mark Henson it will 100% make sense! You see, we are all given a certain set of abilities, skills, and talents that we totally ROCK at and many times we take them for granted and assume that everyone can do those things just as good as we can, but that isn't the case! These are our ordinary superpowers and this week we are going to learn how to put them to good use! In my interview with Mark Henson (author of the book Ordinary Superpowers) we discuss the following: What lit his fire to bring the ordinary superpowers message to the world? What exactly is an ordinary superpower? A four step test to see if a talent/ability qualifies as an ordinary superpower. How has Mark used his own ordinary superpowers to improve his health and fitness? We talk about my ordinary superpowers and how I apply them to my work and family life. How to apply your ordinary superpowers to get out of a rut.

It's always nice to see someone just light up their transformation right from the start. What I have discovered though is that there is always a little bit more behind these people that seem to be "overnight success stories".....and the story we are telling this week was a year and a half in the making. Nick Bragin has 100% been on FIRE with his transformation. He is one of the most coachable clients that I've had in recent memory but it took him a year and a half to get his WHY, his motivation, and his mindset all aligned in order to get to that place where he was ready for action. Listen to my interview with Nick where we discuss: What motivated him to get started (after initially thinking about it a year and a half earlier). His keys to success. Why he has been 100% on board since he started. What his biggest transformation danger zones are. The advice he would give someone that is just getting started.

"One day or day one?.....You get to choose." I was listening to one of my favorite podcasts called The Minimalists and the above quote struck a chord. One of the biggest transformation traps that I see people fall into is when they sit and wait for the perfect time to get started. People will start: Tomorrow....."because I'm already off to a rough start today and I might as well enjoy myself for just one more day!" Next Monday......."because it's the beginning of the week!" Next week....."because this week is kinda busy!" Next month......"because we've got a vacation coming up and the kids are out of school!" Next January....."because the holidays are coming up and it is impossible to do anything during that time of year!" It is about starting their transformation journey One Day instead of making today Day One. With this episode I'm going to show you how to get your head right so you can start TODAY.

All of my loyal podcast listeners know that I close each show with the same phrase "Own It: every meal, every workout, every day". My guest for this episode struggled with her weight from a very young age but everything changed when she just decided to step up and own it. She made the decision that she was the one that had to step up and take responsibility for her actions. This mindset shift changed everything! You are going to be totally inspired by my guest this week Lexy Peach. In the podcast there are a couple of moments where she just opens her heart and goes OFF. I was very motivated by our session and I know that you will be too! I recommend that you give this podcast episode a listen and then check out my top takeaway tips in my blog post: https://www.transformationcoach.me/blog/episode-43-126lb-transformation-success-story-with-lexy-peach I would LOVE IT if you could leave me a rating and review on iTunes and/or Soundcloud after you listen to this episode.

I want you to think about the last week and all of the things, good and bad, that you have encountered. You've probably had at least a few stressful moments in there right? One of the tricks to transformation success is developing the ability to become great at handling these stressful situations and making solid decisions.

In the past I've talked a lot about how important it is to have a solid WHY behind any goal that you have set for yourself. This is especially important when you have a goal of transforming your body and lifestyle.

The ABS.....our most sought after target area when it comes to health, fitness, and body transformation. We all know that if we can tighten up that mid section it is a sign that we are healthy, fit, and looking great! The problem that people run into is that there is SO MUCH information out there on all the super-secret tips, tactics, and training regimens that are going to help you develop your six pack in 37 seconds or less......we get lost, we program hop, or we never get started in the first place. So my goal today is to try and simplify things down a LOT and show you the three essential components that must be in place for you to be able to effectively develop, and unearth, those abdominal muscles.

If you are a super busy hard working parent you will know the feeling.......everyone else comes first and your health/fitness/personal time gets put on the back burner. For this episode I did a client strategy session with Nancy Adams.

This week we are going to take another deep dive into our transformation danger zones. I define a danger zone as anything that causes a momentum shift in your transformation process from positive to negative. These are those tricky little "life happens" moments that catch us off guard and cause a transformation to crash and burn.

I think we've all been there: spinning our wheels as we continue to experience those lovely life happens moments. Eventually this will lead to our health and fitness being on the back burner and we lose that precious positive momentum that we worked so hard for. We are in a fitness rut. Today I'm going to cover six tips to help get you OUT of that fitness rut and start making progress again.

This week I had a great client strategy session with Chad B. This one was a little bit unique compared to my other strategy sessions because Chad is a relatively new client of mine. He's just six weeks into his transformation program and doing an awesome job with it so far! I thought it would be interesting to have him come onto the podcast and talk about the types of issues that people face when they are first starting out with one of my programs and then get into some "next steps" strategy. We cover the following topics and MORE: *The importance of focusing on the current version of yourself. *The importance of giving up control and asking for help. *The pressure we put on ourselves to constantly see results. *Getting organized so you can deal with stress. To dive deeper on this topic check out my blog episode #31: https://www.transformationcoach.me/blog/episode-31-client-strategy-session-with-chad-b If you have targeted your mid section as an improvement area be sure to sign up for our FREE Hello Abs Starter Course: http://www.transformationcoach.me/p/abs

So this week's topic is going to be focused around a question that I get a LOT from concerned new clients: "Dude.....I've been logging my meals and tracking my fitness for like an entire MONTH....am I going to have to do this forever??". So this question will pop up in several variations but they are always centered around the thought of people stressing about the amount of mental focus and overall time it takes to be "on a plan" and they are worried that it will always be like that. Today I'm here to deliver some great news: As long as you are willing to put in consistent hard work up front, you will eventually be on autopilot with this new healthy lifestyle that you are developing. Today I'm going to walk you through the process of how this happens! To dive deeper into this topic check out my blog episode #30: https://www.transformationcoach.me/blog/episode-30-how-to-make-your-new-program-a-part-of-a-permanent-healthy-lifestyle If you need a great place to kick off your transformation, check out my FREE 28 Day Defeat The Cheat Challenge Course: http://www.transformationcoach.me/p/DTC Use this link to download your FREE Danger Zone Game Plan (mentioned in this podcast episode): https://www.transformationcoach.me/p/dzplan

It is really easy to get stuck in that "start up holding pattern" when you launch a new transformation process or try a new program. Today I've got four critical questions to ask yourself so that you can become 100% coachable and ready to get amazing results from your new program. To dive deeper into this topic be sure to check out my blog episode #29: https://www.transformationcoach.me/blog/episode-29-four-critical-questions-to-ask-yourself-before-you-start-your-transformation If you struggle with being consistent with your nutrition plan and feel like you need to regain control check out my FREE Defeat The Cheat Course: https://www.transformationcoach.me/p/DTC

Now I think we have all been there.....we have just found the internal fortitude to make some postive changes with our health and we are just getting used to the idea that this might very well be the "new you".....and then.....your friends ask you to meet them out for drinks on Friday night......and you are FREAKING OUT! You know that your friends love you but you also know that there will be an expectation to eat and drink things that are not on your game plan right now. The pressure is already starting to build! This week we have a three phase plan of attack on this topic: Step #1: I want you to listen to this podcast which is a transformation strategy session I did with Noel Niehaus. We work through his danger zones and talk about how to apply some strategies around facing peer pressure. With this strategy session I had Noel use two key tools that I want to give you FREE access to also. Use this link to download your FREE copy of the Danger Zone Game Plan: https://www.transformationcoach.me/p/dzplan Use this link to download your FREE copy of the Transformation Battle Plan Workbook: https://www.transformationcoach.me/p/bpw Step 2: I wrote up a full blog post focusing on my five key strategies to help you handle peer pressure and stick to your nutrition plan: https://www.transformationcoach.me/blog/episode-28-how-to-handle-peer-pressure-and-stick-to-your-nutrition-plan Step 3: Watch this one-minute highlight video I posted on YouTube to help solidify this concept: https://youtu.be/ZkcoizzdWyw

I know that so many of us have been there. We crush our new program and drop 20-30lbs and then.....it slowly starts to creep back on...pound by pound....inch by inch....until you are back where you started or even worse off. At this point it is really easy to go to a bad place mentally. It is so easy to tell ourselves something along the lines of "man I know how hard that was the first time and now it is REALLY going to suck!"...... So I want to show you a few tips to shift your mindset so you can get back on track.

We are bringing you a little different flavor this week with our weekly podcast and blog! Our core topic is about your transformation lifecycle and what you think it is supposed to look like vs. what it really looks like. I've got a three step process for you to use to get the most out of this topic. Trust me...you are going to LOVE THIS! Step 1: I want you to listen to this client strategy session podcast episode with Bev Martinez.

We are rounding up another year so this is a great time to talk about measuring progress! So here's the problem with progress. We all want it, crave it, and need it BUT once we get "there" we don't celebrate it hardly at all and we just scale up our goals to the next level. Then there is the situation where we don't "get there" or at least not fast enough......that creates a whole new monster to deal with. With this round of the podcast Adam will help you sort this all out and show you how to properly measure your progress.

So here's a quick test: If I told you that you absolutely HAD TO take 15 minutes tomorrow for some dedicated rejuvenation time would you be able to do it without it messing up your entire daily process? One of the most common client obstacles that I hear is "I don't have time to do healthy things for myself, exercise, meal prep, etc!" We all know how easy it is to get a little stuck in a typical daily process. We wake up, get the kids off to school, go to work, visit with kids after school, go to bed, and repeat. The problem with this is that our life regimen slowly starts to squeeze out all of the lifestyle that we had dreamed of achieving. Our goal today is to help you analyze how you are spending your hours and then put together a process to help you add more quality hours to your day.....every day.
