Beginner Diet and Fitness Show

Just a thank you to Joey for sharing personal experiences tying them with real life health and fitness topics. Some of the things you say hit home and feels like you are speaking directly to me. Great show.

I love listening to the podcasts and find the information helpful. I can’T find the podcast with the beginning of the 10 week diet though. I think it is number 70 but it does not show it here.

When I was a young 20-something living in Boston back in the mid-1990s, Joey was my personal trainer for nearly 2 years. He was instrumental in teaching me the importance of a nutritional diet (portion control) and the proper and most effective ways in which to exercise. He was always encouraging and made working out fun and less like a dreaded chore. Now that I'm in my late 40's and looking to once again make healthier lifestyle choices, it's nice to be able to listen to my old friend remind me of the basics.

This is probably the best podcast I've ever listen to. Each episode Joey makes me feel like I am the only one that he is speaking to, like I am right in the room with him. He is funny and engaging, knowledgeable and empathetic. Have you ever felt alone when trying to diet or trying to get yourself to exercise? Well I did. But when I listen to Joey, I feel like he can really relate to what I am going through, and makes me feel like I am not as different as I thought I was. He makes me feel like we all have the same problems, and that I am not alone at all. I always try to participate in his challenges and I try to use his advice, and they work! I am eating better and starting to be more active. He motivates me. And he doesn't ask me to change everything about my life like so many fitness people do. He suggest we go at our own pace. I have emailed him, and he responds. That makes me feel like he is my own trainer. Please don't ever stop making this podcast!
