    Episode #27 | How to Manage Stress to Get Results

    What's up, Friends! Welcome back to the Fit Source Podcast! This week we're diving back into stress. Did you know stress is actually a goal of exercise? Without stressing the your body (muscles, bones, tissue, etc.) your body won't compensate and achieve the desired effect. With that being said, what happens when you've stressed the body too much? In this episode Coach Ed and Coach Mike discuss: • Why we constantly talk about stress with our members; • How to think about the over all stress load on your body and system; • Objective & subjective markers of stress and what to do when they start having an impact on you. Most of us only think about stress from them mental side, which isn't wrong, but understanding that ALL stress plays a role in your bodies ability to recover and predictably adapt is a GAME CHANGER when it comes to achieving results!

    Episode #26 | Reasonable Expectations for Fat Loss

    Hey Team! Welcome back to the show! This week, as you can see in the title, we're talking about reasonable expectations around fat loss. The fact is our expectations are warped when it comes to: • How far gone a lot of us may be; • The level of effort it takes to get results; • The amount of "results" our effort yields. What do we expect when we work on dropping fat? Crash diets. Extreme workouts. Fast results. America has been doing this for decades and where are we? More overweight. More injured. More unhealthy. Let's face facts and this shit doesn't work anymore! In this episode you'll learn: • The 3 phases of fat loss; • What realistic expectations are when you lose weight the healthy way; • The best ways to measure your progress from home. This is an important topic because people don't think sustainably about fat loss they think about the NOW. Doing it the healthy way not only helps you lose the weight but also teaches you the lifestyle habits that will help you keep it off for good! Enjoy!

    Episode #25 | How We're "Brainwashed" in Health & Fitness

    Hey Team! Welcome back to The Fit Source Podcast! In our 25th episode we're talking about the things we're predisposed to believing or following based on the culture around exercise, diet and appearance in our country. None of this is stuff you haven't heard from us before but this episode gives some context into some of the pitfalls we all fall into. In this episode we discuss: • Why cardio is the default "best type of exercise," people choose; • Why we feel like we need to eat less to look better; • Why we put ourselves last on our lists. Do any of these strike a cord? There's probably a few things you've heard over your life that people stand by as gospel to their own detriment. Enjoy!
