Today was just a fun episode in which I talked about different personality types and discussed the usual outcomes of different personality types.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/generalfitnesscompany/support

In this episode, I talk about what it is to create beauty in everyday life. Sometimes, we don't see it until it becomes a spark or a light that illuminates the path in front of us and shows us that life is spectacular and it motivates us to want to shine more light and do more greatness for ourselves and others. But there's always a dark side and we're going to talk about why the sky isn't always filled with love and light.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/generalfitnesscompany/support

I was talking to one of my older clients the other day about balance. It's important for all of us. Whether you realize it or not, you use your proprioception to gain awareness of your environment. From walking to running, climbing upstairs, and even standing, we use proprioception to maintain our balance. Learn more about proprioception and improving your balance in today's episode. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/generalfitnesscompany/support

What do you do when you want real change in your life? I talked about this a little while back about deserving what you want, but the question for many is what DO you want? Is easier asked than answered for some. Let's dive into this a bit and see if we might find something or someone that might be blocking our potential to live a happy and fulfilled life.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/generalfitnesscompany/support

Today's episode is one that many don't know they need. "Dead butt syndrome" is a real thing (look it up). It affects more people every year because of our increasingly sedentary lifestyle. "Dead butt syndrome," or gluteal amnesia is when your glutes stop firing and your hip flexors and quads get really tight because they are overworked. Usually, this causes low back and hip pain. Today, we're going to talk about how to diagnose, treat, and prevent this syndrome from the comfort of your home.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/generalfitnesscompany/support

"They hate us and we don't care." That's been the slogan for the Eagles since 2018 when they won the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, that philosophy didn't play out so well in the game. It doesn't really play out too well in real life, either. Today, we're going to talk about why it's so important to be loved by at least one person. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/generalfitnesscompany/support

I pivoted a little on this episode. I was going to talk about small things like donuts that add up to big calories, but I thought more about it and felt we needed a gratitude episode. So today we're going to talk about how little bits of goodness amount to big wins. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/generalfitnesscompany/support

I brought this episode back because I find that it has so many great techniques and systems on how to not only be a good entrepreneur but a kind and generous person. This episode is based on a movie about a great sushi chef and how they became one of the tops in the world. There are some great lessons in here so I hope that some of them ring true for you.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/generalfitnesscompany/support

Today was a nice mix of new age woo woo and actual science. I feel this is where the fundamental knowledge is...right at that intersection. There are some interesting things that our mind can do with the brain. ESP, psychic phenomena, literal altering of our genetics. There is a lot that we still are unclear on, but what's for sure is that we change every day, whether you change into what you want, is almost entirely up to you.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/generalfitnesscompany/support

We all have bad days. You can probably recall a specific tough time that was especially memorable. The thing is that we have to get through those days. But how? In today's episode, I talk about what I do to get through bad days and what I advise my clients to do when the waters get a little tricky.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/generalfitnesscompany/support

International Give Up Day was not too long ago. That's the day when everyone usually gives up on their New Year Resolutions. The reason why most people give up on their fitness resolutions is that they didn't get the results they had hoped for. Usually, it's because they went too hard on the cardio or the weight training and are too sore to return. Pacing yourself goes without saying, but there is a way to do that that will be more effective than any slow walk on a treadmill. Today we're gonna talk about keeping your joints healthy. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/generalfitnesscompany/support

I had a conversation about functional training with a client today. The discussion was just a few minutes, but afterward, it made me think for a bit. Some people don't have the privilege of picking my brain when it comes to fitness (although you are always welcome to ask questions) so I thought I would take the topic online and talk about why functional training separates itself as one of the best modalities of training.

We all want to be productive or at least get done what we want to get done. Sometimes, we find ourselves in a position where we are doing too many things at once. Studies show that multi-tasking doesn't work. So what should we do? Create a smart plan! Today, I'm discussing a couple of scenarios. One happened to have someone doing too much a paying the price, the other is an example of achieving something special when you have a plan.

Want to have tighter skin and be pain-free? Well, I have the episode for you today. We’re gonna be talking about how to improve your connective tissue called fascia. Fascia and fascial conditioning have been gaining a buzz in the fitness community however, it still doesn’t get the recognition that I think it should. I’ve personally been using this method of training for years and reaping the benefits, however, I had no idea why it was so effective. In today’s episode, we’re going to be talking about what fascia is and why it’s such an important part of a healthy training regimen. I’ll also be discussing a few ways that you can start training your fascia today! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/generalfitnesscompany/support
