Today as I was planning for spring, it struck me that it was the first official day of winter (the day after the solstice). It made me think about how lucky we are to be on this planet as humans and what separates us from animals in preparation for the new year. It's a bit of an existential thought piece, but I was sitting on my couch and thought I've give you some insight to the things that come to mind while working around the house. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/generalfitnesscompany/support

Today we're gonna talk about the difference and how to tell if you should go all out or just say f#ck it. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/generalfitnesscompany/support

In today's episode we throw it back to a mini series I had a few months back. I talked about adversity and subsequently rising through the ashes. I was talking in reference to the pandemic, but of course, it can go much further into your personal life and being judged by others. There may be people out there that don't like a certain aspect of yours. Not to worry, you have options. You can take a look at if that part of your personality is worth exploring, or you can explore that relationship and find out if it's worth your time. Either way, we're gonna talk about the best ways to thrive in the face of adversity.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/generalfitnesscompany/support

Today I got off training my last client and rushed right into this episode.

This week has been a struggle to get back on schedule and I kinda got down on myself. But not to worry, this isn't a downer episode. In this episode, I talk about why it's important to be nice to yourself, but not too nice, of course.

This throwback episode is a special one because I had the opportunity to speak with a licensed therapist that has helped a lot of people in a short time and has quite the following on social media. We talked about getting out of your head and getting out of your own way, which is important to survive this pandemic. It's put a lot of doubts in people's heads and it's important to understand that you can do whatever you want if you have the patience and the desire.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/generalfitnesscompany/support

I had a friend ask me the other day how I produce so much content. I told them that it's all in the "fun" of the process. In this episode, I talk about how to apply that philosophy to every part of life. Workouts can be fun just as much as other parts of life, you just gotta start with smart with small games that lead up to bigger challenges and more fun. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/generalfitnesscompany/support

I'm back and I've got something to share from my trip down to GA. Funny you find the most random bits of knowledge when you least expect it.

This milestone episode made me a little nostalgic and made me think about the catalyst to the random sequence of events that help me start General Fitness Company.

This is actually an episode from a few months back. I really enjoyed listening back to it and I thought it would be a good time to bring it back because it's kind of relevant to the mindset of many people these days.
