If you have all the time in the world, how will you spend it? The lack of unwasted time is probably a dream for pretty much everyone. “If only I had more time….” The default excuse we hear from most people when they can't do something is that they don't have the time or they can't find the time. If you find yourself using the same excuse, why not evaluate how you use your time? Are you using it wisely?In this episode, Andy describes the three ways people spend their time and what they should do instead. Now think about it. If you can find more time, what will you do with it?“Where you spend your time matters because, quite frankly, one day, you'll be dead. And then you've got no time left - ever!”– Andy NaylorIn This Episode:-The single biggest excuse from people as to why they can't do something-What are you busy with?

If you only had six more months to live, what would you spend your time doing? Naturally, when you have limited time, you will want to focus on the most important things in life. But the problem with most people is that they lose sight of what's really important and allow themselves to be distracted like a dog chasing rabbits in a field.&nbsp;They chase one rabbit after another, but they end up not catching a single one. It's the same principle with your fitness or life goals. You cannot run after two targets at the same time because your attention will be divided. So how do you avoid distractions and improve your focus? That's what Andy talks about in this episode.&nbsp;If you're tired of chasing after things that do not bring you much fulfilment, you don't want to miss this!“You will complete and achieve so much more if you just pick a task and go after that one thing.”– Andy NaylorIn This Episode:-What is the highest-paid activity that you can undertake?-The reason you must stop chasing after rabbits and focus on one goal&nbsp;-How to improve your focus and accomplish your most important goalsWant to become the HAWK? - Book a chat with us to show you how:👇🏽https://andynayloronlinecoaching.com/claim-your-free-callConnect with Andy Naylor:&nbsp;Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/andy_naylor_pure_elite_pro/Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/andy.naylor.7311352/Facebook Group- https://www.facebook.com/groups/FATLOSSFITNESSMUSCLEGUIDANCEGROUPLinkedIn- https://uk.linkedin.com/in/andy-naylor-a9278642YouTube- https://www.youtube.com/c/NaylorBodyDesignTikTok- https://www.tiktok.com/@andynaylor.fitness.coach

You may have heard the phrase, "You can't pour from an empty cup," and this is especially true for CEOs. As a CEO or a business leader, you are responsible for your company's success, and that includes taking care of your health and fitness.&nbsp;Research has shown that CEOs who prioritize their health and fitness are more likely to lead successful companies.

Are you getting the maximum ROI from your time in the gym? If you do not see the desired outcome, it's simply because you're not doing things the right way. You're just wasting time!&nbsp;You're busy enough running your business. You have a family to take care of. You have so much on your plate.

Many people say they need motivation to succeed. But the idea of motivation is debatable. For instance, staying motivated can be challenging over the long term, especially in the face of setbacks or failures.&nbsp;We all know what it feels like to have it. When we lose it, we somehow feel out of control. When we have it, everything is good, and we feel powerful. But when it’s gone, we feel hopeless, lost, out of control, and without direction.&nbsp;Would you then agree that motivation is not reliable? It is not tangible, hard to quantify, and unpredictable. So we must rely on more than just the magic of motivation. There has to be a better way to move towards our goals.In today's episode, Andy proves why you don't need motivation and what you need instead to achieve your goals.&nbsp;This episode is the fifth of Optimal Alpha's CEO Series.

Success means different things to different people. While others define success as having material things like fancy houses, fast cars, and huge bank accounts, some are happy with a less extravagant display of success.&nbsp;So what does success look like for you?

But do you really have what it takes to be unstoppable in your pursuit of growth in your world?&nbsp;Business leaders must approach challenges with a growth mindset, embracing failures and setbacks as opportunities to learn and improve.&nbsp;In today's episode, Andy talks about what it means to have a growth mindset.

As a busy business leader, there's a big chance you've been prioritizing the needs of your business over your own health and well-being, neglecting self-care practices. You spend some of the best years of your life growing your business and gaining financial security for yourself and your family. But along that journey, you have seriously sacrificed yourself.&nbsp;You end up over-stressed, not getting enough sleep, and experiencing declining health. When your health is threatened, you'd then literally give your business away to regain your health. And you are not alone. Many successful CEOs are in the same position–they treat their business better than themselves.Before the situation leads to a severe health event–like a heart attack or a stroke that can leave you incapacitated–something needs to change. You must start prioritizing self-care as a business leader. Health is wealth. Your family and your business need you here.&nbsp;In today's episode, Andy shares simple things you can do to optimize your health. If you're a busy business leader, high-level executive, CEO, entrepreneur, or highly successful person, this series is for you.&nbsp;This episode is the first of Optimal Alpha's CEO Series.

What your eyes see, your brain is going to soak up. Makes sense, doesn’t it? Creating vision boards at home and employing visualization techniques when you are at the gym are important parts of getting your body in shape.We do this by harnessing the power of our mind first. Never bad self-talk — ever! Self-deprecation is a problem — it’s how we trick our minds into believing something isn’t possible. And that’s giving into the fear of failure — a fear which doesn’t even really exist.See it in your mind first — and then go and create that victory, that ideal weight, or that magic number that you want to bench press. You’re seeing the world through the lens of your experience, it’s not the same for everybody. Change your inner world and change your external reality. When something bad happens, try verbalizing the positive.&nbsp;Andy is encouraging us to see the positive in this powerful episode of Optimal Alpha. Your outlook determines your outcome.

You worked hard all week, stuck to your diet, went to the gym, and drank water. So why oh why has nothing changed? Have you not done enough? Do you not deserve results by now?&nbsp;Wake up! It's only been a week. You're not going to see results yet. You need to work harder.&nbsp;People think that each action has an immediate impact. Maybe it does, on a very small level. But for the results people want, doing something once does literally nothing.&nbsp;Results come from cumulative effort and work–actions taken repeatedly over time. The single biggest determining factor to success is consistency.&nbsp;In today's episode, Andy discusses the cumulative effect and what it means, the benefits of committing to a healthy lifestyle, the drawbacks of neglecting our health, and what you need to do to see the results you want.&nbsp;So tune in and get a reality check. Then, move forward until you gain momentum and start to see progress. “Momentum crushes motivation every day of the week. If you rely upon motivation to get your cumulative work done, you're done. It's over.”– Andy NaylorIn This Episode:-You are the result of your past 4 weeks‘ work-Results come from cumulative work - what does this mean?-What do you need to see results?𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐃𝐒𝐄𝐓, 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐁𝐎𝐃𝐘, 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐄 𝐍𝐎𝗪Book a call with the NBD team today to see how we might best help you achieve your ‘Optimal Alpha’ …𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 2 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐧𝐨𝐰, 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐥𝐥 𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲!https://andynayloronlinecoaching.com/bookyourcallConnect with Andy Naylor:&nbsp;- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/andy_naylor_pure_elite_pro/?hl=en- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/andy.naylor.7311352/- Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/FATLOSSFITNESSMUSCLEGUIDANCEGROUP- LinkedIn - https://uk.linkedin.com/in/andy-naylor-a9278642- YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/NaylorBodyDesign- TikTok

When you think of a nutrition plan, do you picture a prison–having to eat the exact same things each day and being bored out of your mind doing so? Guess what? It most definitely does not need to be this way!&nbsp;In today's episode, Andy talks about food flexibility. For most people, a good deal of flexibility is very possible. So how much do you really need to be flexible? It takes a good understanding of what and how to change your meal plan to be flexible. You do not need different meals every day. Just change up some food, like changing spices, cooking methods, timing, and even do food swaps. There are other smart ways to be flexible with your food choices.&nbsp;The truth is humans do not need a massive menu of different foods. Instead, we need a high-quality selection of foods that like us rather than what we like. The key to being flexible is your proper understanding of food.&nbsp;Tune in and discover simple ways to be flexible with your food. With a bit of creativity, you can have unlimited options.&nbsp;“A little bit of choice is good. It makes us feel like we are in control.”– Andy NaylorIn This Episode:- How strict does a meal plan need to be?- What can be flexible, and how do you actually do it?- Why be flexible with food anyway?𝐘𝐀𝐒𝐒!

Welcome to a brand New Year! Today's episode is meant to dive deeper into exercise execution. Now, you might be wondering, “What’s the best exercise for abs?” or “What’s the best move to develop my body?" Well, there is no such thing as “the best” when it comes to movements. How you exercise to build your body depends on your own capacity–it varies per individual. Likewise, what's best for someone might not be the best for you. So what you have to do is master the basics of exercise execution. Proper exercise execution takes a basic understanding of how the body functions. More than the choice of exercise itself, you must know how to apply the efforts in the right direction. So pay attention as Andy explains and demonstrates what you must do to ensure you achieve your goals for 2023.&nbsp;“Just understand that the more you contract the muscle, it's getting weaker; the more you're lengthening it, it's getting weaker. Remember that.” – Andy Naylor&nbsp;&nbsp;In This Episode:-Active range of muscles and their three working areas-Strength codes and resistance profiles-Actionable items that you can apply the next time you train&nbsp; &nbsp;And more!&nbsp;Resources:&nbsp;-Join the 14-Day Fat Loss Challenge - https://andynayloronlinecoaching.com/14-day-fat-loss-challengeConnect with Andy Naylor:&nbsp;- Instagram- Facebook- Facebook Group- LinkedIn- YouTube- TikTok

Getting in the shape of your life is great! Achieving optimal physique and health is excellent! People put a great emphasis on looking great because first impressions matter. If we want to be successful, we must appear to be a success, and being in shape is a massive part of this. It is not something we can bypass. But if you haven't achieved these goals, there's no one else to blame but you. So stop blaming other people and other things. It's your fault. Accept that and move on. Those of you who cannot accept that will remain stuck exactly where you are. But if you choose to push forward, you must become the person you need to be to reach those goals. To better understand this reality, tune in as Andy explains this topic in great detail. Then think about what changes you can make from this moment forward. Your life is in your hands. And who you become is entirely up to you.&nbsp;&nbsp;“Your life is in your hands, no one else's. It is, in fact, your fault and yours alone that you have not yet reached your goals.”– Andy Naylor&nbsp;&nbsp;In This Episode:-The difference between the goal and who it will allow you to become&nbsp;-What this could mean for you-What's it going to take?&nbsp;&nbsp;Connect with Andy Naylor:&nbsp;- Instagram- Facebook- Facebook Group- LinkedIn- YouTube- TikTok

What exactly is your goal in going to the gym? If your ultimate goal is optimizing your body, you’re not going to a gym to lift weights and use machines. Lifting weights, the movements, and the machines help you do what you must do, but your goal is really to target specific muscle groups. Our body does not want to change; it wants to be efficient. So we have to put it in a situation where it has no choice but to adapt.&nbsp;&nbsp;Welcome to a bonus episode in our training series. Pay close attention because this topic definitely gives you some practical advantages.&nbsp;“Changing your body is hard, it's difficult, especially building muscle. Dropping fat is a lot easier than building muscle. It happens a lot quicker; it's easier to do. Building muscle is far more difficult, far more challenging.”– Andy Naylor&nbsp;&nbsp;In This Episode:-Exercise execution - Your form, how you move, the intention of the movement, and the position you put your body in-Why it matters - You don't want to waste time and energy, plus your body does not want to change; it wants to be efficient-Here are some examples - Movements, depths, tempo, stability, and range of movements&nbsp;Connect with Andy Naylor:&nbsp;- Instagram- Facebook- Facebook Group- LinkedIn- YouTube- TikTok

Are you getting bored doing the same training program for a month or even longer and have stopped seeing results? You probably think it may be time to change things up. But that's not exactly the right thing to do.&nbsp;&nbsp;In this episode, Andy talks about why people change things up, why it's not a wise move and the better solution. If there's one thing you must do, be more methodical and laser-focused in your approach. Stick to movements that work for you until you extract the maximum progress over time. Then, you can swap one activity at a time. Finally, focus on your long-term goal.&nbsp;Listen if you want to know how to overcome this feeling of boredom and discover a better option instead of changing things up indiscriminately.&nbsp;“If the result is not the thing that is the most important to you, swap everything you like, do what you want, I don't care. But what I see from people who swap things is a complete lack of consistency in the training.”– Andy Naylor&nbsp;&nbsp;In This Episode:-Common reasons people decide to change things up-Why changing things up is not a wise move-What's a better solution?&nbsp;Connect with Andy Naylor:&nbsp;- Instagram- Facebook- Facebook Group- LinkedIn- YouTube- TikTok

So you've been training for a while and think you need to INTENSIFY your training. You may be RIGHT, or you may be WRONG. How would you know?

You have three main variables to play with after creating your training split and selecting your favored exercises. Of course, you cannot max out all three, there must be a balance, but do you even know what they are?&nbsp;&nbsp;In this 3rd episode of Andy's new training series, he talks about the three key variables you must balance: volume, intensity, and frequency. Your job is to create a plan, stick with it, monitor progress and results, and then adjust ONE thing at a time to see if you can make better progress.&nbsp;&nbsp;Tune in to the episode to learn more about the three key areas and how you can balance them out properly to achieve your goals.&nbsp;&nbsp;“You just need to make a plan. Decide what it is that you're gonna do and then run it. And then watch what happens. Track the results. Standardize everything else, your food, your water, your rest, your sleep, your intensity.”– Andy Naylor&nbsp;&nbsp;In This Episode:-Volume - Weight x Reps x&nbsp; Sets: The volume of the work you're doing needs to go up over time. If not, you have a problem!-Intensity - How HARD do you train?

Your mate squats, so you squat. You hear you need to do bench press, so you do. But have you ever stopped to think about the movements you have chosen to do and WHY? The selection of exercises on a given day is not the same for everyone. It should depend on your goal and the condition of your body. You wouldn't want to risk injuring yourself by doing movements that are bad for you. So how do you choose the right exercises?&nbsp;In this 2nd episode of Andy's new training series, he explains what you need to know about exercise selection. After listening, examine why you have chosen the movements you're doing and determine if they are what you really need to get the results you want.&nbsp;“You've got to stick to things and manipulate them methodically.”– Andy Naylor&nbsp;&nbsp;In This Episode:-What is exercise selection? There's a massive menu of movements, and you need to select what you want and WHY-Are there good and bad movements? Yes and No. Here's what that means…-How do I choose the optimal exercise for me?

How do you know if your training split is right for you and your goal? Did you just copy what someone else is doing or grab something from Google or YouTube? If your plan was not written specifically for YOU, then it most likely is nowhere near optimal for you and your goals. You'll end up with wasted effort with no actual results. So what must you do?&nbsp;Today, Andy is starting a new training series focusing on the basics. Unfortunately, most people can't get the basics right before they go on to more advanced stuff and wonder why they go around in circles. This is the first episode in a 5-part series. So make sure you listen and discover how you can design the optimal training program for you.&nbsp;“How do I work out what is the most optimal split for me? Because what's right for you is not right for me, is not right for someone else. It has to be individualized.” – Andy Naylor&nbsp;&nbsp;In This Episode:-What is a training split? The What, Where, and How-What options are available? There are endless options, and Andy presents some of those options.-How do I work out what is optimal for me?

Have you been blindly following the practice of doing a specific set of movements to get the desired result? How has that worked for you? If you do not see results, it's time you drop these one size fits all MUST DO movements. The truth is, it's simply not the movement. It’s HOW you do it and HOW it fits YOU. So try a move, give it a run for 6-8 weeks and track progress. In this episode, Andy walks you through some of the usual movements that gym instructors ask you to do, why specific moves may not be suitable for you, and the wiser approach that will get you the results.&nbsp;“There are no MUST DO movements–they don't exist. There are MUST DO movements for you as an individual, but you've gotta do the damn work to find out what they are, and be patient along that journey.”– Andy Naylor&nbsp;&nbsp;In This Episode:-You must do THIS to get THAT. Is there such a thing as a MUST DO exercise to get a specific result?&nbsp;-Why the idea of MUST DO exercises is a load of sh*t. It's simply NOT the movement.

Why do you do the things you do? Why do you work so hard? Why do you want to have a great body, more money, and build an empire? Why? Understanding your WHY is crucial to your success. A goal without a WHY is going to fail. Without a deep reason, the first challenge will halt you in your tracks. So be constantly focused on your WHY. How can you do that?
