I had the pleasure to sit down with Eric Grimsley, a StrongFirst instructor/ Original Strength coach/ Personal trainer/ kettlebell lover and we had the opportunity to talk shop.What started out as a kettlebell conversation became one of how movement can set people free.

Our culture is OBSESSED with the idea of losing fat. We crash diet, cut calories, workout like madmen and restrict ourselves until we can't take it anymore. All in the name of better health.It might be time....no wait, it is time to look a little deeper. Time to check out some biology. We will begin with leptin. Leptin is the hormone that controls hunger and satiety. If leptin is off, you won't be burning fat like you want to.Check out this quick hitting podcast to understand the mechanism of what leptin is, how it affects weight loss, and what the next song on my album will be!Hit up the website!https://pbandgainz.wordpress.com

With the new year comes the resolutions and goals. Typically those goals include some form of eating better and losing weight. Well...I want you to do something different this year: make a commitment to make a lasting change instead of giving yourself a deadline. Don't plan on stopping after 21 days or 30 days. Rethink your diet plan and enjoy the long lasting success that follows!For more information on Nicole Fennell, RD go check out www.chewsfoodwisely.com

This is the episode in which we take on the "New Years Resolution". The thing is though, I want you to stick with it this year.Make 2016 the GOAT (Greatest of All Time). Make simple changes to ensure that you are successful. If you are looking to improve in 2016, make sure you listen to this episode.You have the power to make 2016 the most authentically bada$$ year ever. I will set you up on how to do it. This quote says it all:"I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something." -Neil Gaiman

This episode is all about YOGA. No, this isn't a "hippy-dippy" conversation. It is one to help you understand that yoga can be an incredible tool in helping you learn how to breathe (I bet you are doing it wrong).I chatted with Hailey, the yoga instructor at Avenu Fitness, who broke down the ancient study of yoga in a way a lamen like me could understand.We chatted about:-The true art of connection -The importance of breathing-If yoga pants are required for yoga classesAll in all you can see it was important stuff. You don't have to be a hardcore yogi to love the convo we just had!For more, check out www.avenufit.com

Today I chat about clearing the clutter, chaos, and confusion from our life. Picture this:You are on a dingy trying to get to your goal across the lake. A fog rolls in. You can't see squat, can't navigate your way through, and aren't sure what to do. Think of that clutter, chaos, and confusion as fog. It blocks view of your goals, leaving you feeling stranded. This fog can stem from some fear we have or just be created by our own busy minds.Ultimately that fear can lead to procrastination and self sabotage, further pushing us away from our intended goal. In this episode we talk about how to set good goals, get outside help, and remove fear from your life. www.avenufit.com
