    53. How to Get Through the Holidays Without Undoing Your Progress

    Apply for 1:1 Coaching: https://datafit.net/collective-learn-more?el=podcast 30 Strength Workouts for $10: https://datafit.net/strong-mom-workouts?el=podcast Part one of two on the holidays. Halloween to New Year's is about sixty days, and maybe twelve of them have something actually going on. That's twenty percent. We go through what to do with those twelve, and why the other forty-nine are where this is won. Also in this one: why waiting for January costs you more than the holidays do, running each party as an experiment instead of a test you pass or fail, why saving your calories all day backfires, adding five hundred calories on party days on purpose, the power plate and its three palm-sized portions, spacers and the client who orders an IPA so she drinks less, and why cheesecake for breakfast is fine as long as something else is on the plate. Got a topic you want covered? Comment or DM us and we'll film an episode on it. 00:00 Halloween, Peppa Pig, and a 5:30 trick-or-treat 04:00 The sixty days nobody plans for 04:28 Why this is the best time of year to start 06:01 You can't be perfect this time of year 09:37 Pressure is what creates the "screw it" 13:30 Run it as an experiment, not a formula 15:01 Connection isn't the same as a sixth slice 19:12 Don't walk into a party hungry 27:13 Twelve days out of sixty-one 32:08 The power plate: three palms, one plate 37:03 Spacers, mocktails, and the IPA trick 39:59 Cheesecake for breakfast, and the trap after it

    52. How to Get More From Less Time in the Gym

    Apply for 1:1 Coaching: https://datafit.net/collective-learn-more?el=podcast 30 Strength Workouts for $10: https://datafit.net/strong-mom-workouts?el=podcast A short one, and deliberately so. We go back and forth on getting more out of the gym when your schedule has nothing left in it. No optimal split, no perfect frequency, just what actually holds up when you've got twenty minutes. Also in this one: why weeks are arbitrary and you should never restart a plan, the four to eight hard sets per muscle group that are genuinely enough, why set one gets you half the benefit and set two gets you ninety percent, cutting sets rather than exercises, skipping the lifts that need a long warm-up, and a sincere appreciation of the Planet Fitness circuit. Got a topic you want covered? Comment or DM us and we'll film an episode on it. 00:00 Cutting the fluff, for Leroy 01:22 Weeks are arbitrary. Don't restart the plan. 02:29 Do you actually care about optimal? 03:29 Four to eight hard sets per muscle per week 05:19 Set one gets you half. Set two gets you ninety. 07:11 Push closer to failure when you've only got two sets 08:12 Two sets are easier to go hard on 10:44 Do full body 13:27 Break it into shorter chunks 16:59 Cut sets, not exercises 17:23 Skip the technical lifts 19:14 Herman disagrees: pick what you're competent at 20:40 The four buckets: squat, hinge, press, row 24:18 Dumbbells at home beat the commute 25:31 Shorten rest, lean on supersets 27:18 In defense of the Planet Fitness circuit

    48. The Only Things You Need to Get Fit Over 40 (Part 3)

    Apply for 1:1 Coaching: https://datafit.net/collective-learn-more?el=podcast 30 Strength Workouts for $10: https://datafit.net/strong-mom-workouts?el=podcast Part 3: Sustain. This is the one that decides whether any of it lasts. Most people lose weight every year. Most people gain it back. Making progress and keeping progress are two different skills, and this episode is about the second one. Also in this one: the Good/Better/Best plan and why your "good" day should feel embarrassingly easy, the client whose only goal was 30g of protein at breakfast (and who was tracking every meal a month later), the gap and the gain, and why one full-body workout a week maintains all your muscle. Soft talk words to catch yourself using: probably, perhaps, feels like, guess, maybe, could, might, possibly, sort of, kind of, potentially, hopefully, try, one day, should. Got a topic you want covered? Comment or DM us and we'll film an episode on it. 00:00 Toddler germs, peekaboo, and one-year-olds 03:02 Putting the phone away (and wanting it less) 10:43 All-or-nothing sneaking into fatherhood 12:38 Sustain: why most people gain it back 19:33 Good, Better, Best (and your bare-ass minimum) 23:59 "What feels like a catalyst?" 30g of protein at breakfast 30:27 Measuring progress in good days, not perfect ones 32:08 What the people who actually sustain do 35:33 Soft talk: try, maybe, probably, should 42:22 The gap and the gain 45:51 Every one of these is a skill. You're a white belt.
