The Bevan James Eyles Show - The Fitness Behaviour Podcast Bevan James Eyles

Last weekend, I took on a physical challenge that I failed at.
 
It’s a challenge that I want to conquer, but I’m not sure if I can beat it—it’s that hard.
 
But because I love a challenge, I’m going to attempt it again.
 
So, I thought I’d share how I’ll approach taking on a challenge where there’s a huge amount of doubt.
 
If you sometimes shy away from challenging times or want to face big ones in your life, watch this video.

Like most, I experience moments of insecurity…
 
These moments can lead to feeling consumed by my thoughts.
 
I have a tool that helps me quickly overcome this.
 
This week, I'm sharing this tool with you.

Are you a good team member? 
 
Being in a team is a part of life.
 
Work teams, sport teams, your team of friends, and so on…
 
There are people who enhance the team, that takes the team to a higher place. 
 
Then there are those who restrict the team, sometimes in really negative ways.
 
This week I share a story that taught me about how to be a better team member and the 3 principles I uphold when I’m in that environment.
 
Listen to this video if you want to be a person that is a valued member within the teams you are in.  

Last weekend we had the Christchurch Marathon. It was an amazing day for our half marathon group.
 
We had the most PB’s we have ever had and some people had ‘once in a lifetime performances’.
 
I’ve been reflecting on why we had so many great performances within our team. There are things we know…
 
- Our group training helps people get to their next level.
- Our coaches are experienced and are amazing at guiding and supporting our runners.
- Our runners care about each other and want each other to succeed.
- Our programme prepares our runners for success.
 
After reflecting on this, and those of our runners who nailed their race, I realised there was a key to their performance that was common across these runners and it can teach us an important lesson about high performance.  
 
In this week’s video I teach you how you can become a higher performer in areas of your life that are important to you.

In New Zealand, the Covid lockdown period had a positive effect on many people’s fitness.
 
A lot of people who didn’t normally exercise suddenly had more time, so they used this time to go for a walk, a run or do some other form of exercise.
 
People were getting fitter, feeling good about themselves physically, and enjoying the benefits of regular exercise.
 
This could have been a life changing time….
 
But when life went back to normal what do you think happened?
 
These people fell away from the exercise habit they had built.
 
This lockdown period teaches some really valuable lessons around why people aren’t exercising and how things need to be done differently.
 
In this week’s video, I teach you a better way to approach bringing exercise into your life, in a way that can be maintained no matter what the conditions of your life may be.

The last quarter of a half marathon is tough.
 
As a coach, I want to make sure our half marathon runners know how to respond in a way that will:
 
1. Deliver the result they want
2. Help them make the best decisions in these tough moments
3. Get them to the finish line in a way they can be proud of
 
We have a mental technique we teach our runners which helps them win these tough moments and it’s very simple and effective!


This week I teach you this technique so you can get better at ‘winning’ tough moments in your life.
