The Arm Coach Podcast Kristine Rucker

Welcome back, friends! This week on The Arm Coach podcast, we're diving deep into the realm of desire and the struggles we face with urges. What is an urge!? Why do we have them!? How can we work through them!?
Join me as we peel back the layers of why we have urges and how we can push passed them to reach our goals. The question about what to do with urges as they arise comes up often with my clients. They tell me they understand my approach and the tools I teach, but they are unsure about what to do when it’s time to workout or follow a nutrition formula, and suddenly an urge appears.
In this episode, we'll navigate the deceitful waters of willpower and why it might not be the fix we thought it was. Instead, we're arming ourselves with strategies to conquer urges with confidence and knowledge. From understanding the psychology behind our desires to practical tips for reclaiming control, I've got you covered.
And hey, here's a gentle reminder: change is not an all or nothing enterprise. It’s absolutely okay to experiment, try new things, and make mistakes. Let's embrace the adventure together!

Here’s what you’ll learn in Episode 6:
• Why do you rebel against disciplining yourself?• What self-discipline really means, and what you mistakenly think it means.• How can you make self-discipline feel good?• What does it look like in your everyday life?• How can you create it in relation to your arm goals?• What steps do you need to take to make it feel easy and natural?• And how can you bring self-discipline into your life without dread and resentment?
All these questions are answered in this episode and more. Saying ‘no’ or ‘wait’ to yourself doesn’t feel as bad or challenging when you know why you’re doing it. The goal isn’t to force yourself to do what’s right for you, but to want to do what’s right for you.
In today's episode, we're flipping the script on self-discipline, turning it from a daunting task into an act of self-love. Tune in as we discover how to make self-discipline feel empowering and normal. From understanding why you rebel against it to creating rules that feel like love, not pain, we've got you covered.

Welcome back to The Arm Coach Podcast! Today, we're diving into one of my favorite topics: Desire. My clients each have their unique motivations for wanting beautifully sculpted arms, but they all share one particular challenge—overcoming the desire to skip workouts or indulge a bit too much. They often tell me, “It would be so easy to sculpt my arms if I didn’t want to skip my workout or eat so much!”
Most people then turn to willpower. But let's be honest, ramping up willpower often leads us into a relentless cycle of desire and resistance. It's exhausting, isn't it? There's a better way, a more sustainable way to get you out of that cycle.
In today's episode, I'm excited to share with you why using willpower to workout or try to eat less is not the answer. We'll also dive deep into the intriguing world of our thoughts and emotions, exploring how they drive our actions and why it's crucial to recognize our thougths may not always mirror reality. 
Constantly battling our wants can make us feel deprived and eventually, we all hit a wall. But there's a more sustainable approach waiting for us to embrace. In today’s episode, I'm excited to debunk the myths around willpower and reveal why it might not be the golden ticket to achieving your fitness goals. We'll also dive deep into the intriguing world of our thoughts and emotions, exploring how they drive our actions and why it's crucial to recognize that our thoughts may not always mirror reality.

Welcome to today's episode where I spill the secrets of how I transformed my body by a powerful approach to weight training known as Progressive Overload Training. This method was a game-changer for me after spending many years working out but not seeing any results. Join me as I share my journey and insights into this transformative training technique that you can use too!
It was as a young adult weighing 200 lbs that I started on a journey to lose weight. Through lots of trial and error, I lost 80 lbs. But, I couldn't stop there. Everywhere I turned in the grocery store, I saw magazines of beautiful women with incredible physiques. I wanted that!
That started my weightlifting journey. This journey was long, and hard, and for many years I didn't see ANY results. I was doing random workouts that I would bring with me to the gym. Nothing changed. Every day I looked in the mirror and I was still unhappy. "Why couldn't I just get more toned?".
The turning point came when I sought the guidance of a personal trainer, Lori, whose expertise is in Progressive Overload Training. I had many trainers before Lori but her technique made the ultimate difference. Progressive overload involves gradually increasing workout intensity to enhance muscle size, strength, and endurance. This episode offers insights into how this approach can revolutionize your fitness journey, avoid plateaus, and foster consistent progress toward your goals.
Tune in to learn the basics of progressive overload, how to use it in your workouts, and the amazing benefits it offers. Whether your goal is to gain more muscle, tone your biceps, or break through fitness plateaus, progressive overload training can do just that! So let's embark on this empowering journey together and sculpt the arms of your dreams!
