When you go into the gym to workout, how can you make sure you are spending your time efficiently?

How can you make sure you are spending the time you are taking out and putting into the gym yields you results?

Perfect questions, and as usual, I gotchu.

Most people use the gym as an avenue to burn calories…. I’ll have a video out on my YouTube channel in the next couple of days about that.

Be sure to subscribe HERE so you don’t miss it.

But moving along, as a sneak peek preview, when you get into the gym, you should be focusing on weight lifting. 

Within that weight lifting, there are certain principles and exercises you should be focusing on to ensure your time is spent wisely.

I won’t say there is a “wrong” way to workout, but there are certainly countless amounts of evidence proving there are ways to get the best bang for your buck.

Choosing what exercises to do would be one of them. 

Where your head is at mentally when you are working out is another.

Expectations for yourself, other people, the workouts, is one that people must understand. 

And how many times a week you should be doing all of these things then come into play.

This podcast will cover all of that, and then some.

Check it out, and please let me know what you think. 

I ask in this podcast if you truly get any value from it… please take 5 minuted to leave a rating and review.

For real, it would mean a lot to me.

The conversations that go on inside your head shape the decisions for that day..

All of these things go on.. and can be the difference between making changes or not.

Run Forest, Run!

No, just no. Running is NOT the only way to lose fat. Doing hours and hours of cardio is very outdated in the sense of trying to lose fat.

Lifting weights is considered paramount in ones plan of action for losing fat. 

NO, it will not immediately make you big and bulky. Trust me, I wish it did, or I wouldn’t still be here trying 8 years into my own journey.

It is great for changing your body. Changing your muscle : fat ratio. For burning more calories at rest, BY DOING NOTHING, might I add.

For changing not only your physical strength, but your mental and emotional strength as well. 

It should be a staple in your routine.

Listen here to find out the benefits.

ERF 020: How Motivation Actually Works

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Subscribe: RSS

People are confused. 

Motivation is what everyone looks for when talking about fitness.

Whether it is getting started, whether it is continuing, or whether it is making change.

People THINK it goes : Motivation , Action, Results.

They are sadly mistaken.

The #1 thing that causes motivation, is action.

Without taking action, there will be no results.

With no results, there will be no reason/want for you to keep going.

Motivation truly comes from taking action on the thing you want to happen. 

If you want to go to the gym, you aren’t going to go if you keep looking for motivation to go.

You will go by actually GOING.

Listen to this podcast to find out how motivation is not only made, but sustained.

ERF Q&A 017: How To Mix Fat Loss & Workout Performance

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Subscribe: RSS

It seems that it is either one or the other. Fat loss or workout performance. 

Or it seems that workout performance gets thrown under the rug when fat loss is in the mix.

I’m here to tell you you can have both. They can be married as one. It just has to be a marriage that is planned out and taken care of well.

You CAN still have really good workouts when in a calorie deficit. You don’t HAVE to lose energy lose strength and have your workouts suffer.

Because at the end of the day, the workouts are going to change your body. You provide a stimulus to your body to adapt to.

If you can still keep up the intensity, keep providing a stimulus enough so your body needs to adapt to it.

Not only will you see fat loss, but you will see muscle gain, strength gain, better endurance, to name a few.

They are both important, and this podcasts labels out how you can create a healthy loving marriage.

Let me know what you think. Talk soon. -E.

ERF 018: Mental, Physical, Emotional Progress

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Subscribe: RSS

This podcast started as a way to track progress other than the scale.

It quickly turned into a philosophical rant about the way people make decisions and think about life.

Either way, I think it is something that can help a lot of people.

The way people think controls their decision making. Their decision making then controls their outcome. 

To get a better outcome, you would first have to focus on the thought and decision making process. 

This is what this podcast does.

It is a bit different, so please let me know if you found it enjoyable and or interesting and or stop trying to be a philanthropist Eric.

ERF Q&A 006: Should You Be Sore After Your Workouts?

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Subscribe: RSS

This is a question I have heard throughout gyms since I started working out.

Heard some people say if you aren’t sore after you workout, you aren’t working hard enough!

Heard if your muscles don’t ache for days, then you aren’t pushing and your body is not changing!

This could not be farther from the truth.

Can you have an effective workout and be sore? Yep.

Can you have an even more effective workout and not be sore? Absolutely.

Some people believe if they aren’t getting or stopped getting sore, then they need to change up their routine and find something new.

Again, couldn’t be farther from the truth. 

Give this podcast a listen to learn about what soreness comes from, what factors influence it, why it is arbitrary in achieving your fitness goals, and what you should be tracking instead of how sore you are. 

This podcast was made available by one of you guys who reached out to me and asked me this question. 

I thrive off questions and love answering them! So please reach out to me via dm, email, text, wherever, and ask away! Your question could end up on the podcast!

Thank you all so much,

-E.
