Ep. 91: Progress = Training Plus Recovery

Aug 2, 2023

1hr 7 min

It isn't how much training you do that maximizes your progress. It is how much training you can recover from that does.

In this episode, we chat about recovery techniques that we use to improve our recovery and feel better.

From easy-to-implement activities like stretching and getting more sleep to the more resource dependent like massage, sauna and supplements.

As we get older, we need to recover just as hard as we train to continue progressing and reducing our risk of injury.

Ep. 90: What To Do When Fat Loss Stalls

Jul 26, 2023

58 min

One of the most common goals people have is to lose body fat. We all know you must consume fewer calories than you burn to achieve this.

But what happens when you eat clean and exercise a lot and the weight doesn't seem to come off?

In this episode, we discuss this exact problem as it is something Catharine is going through. She is getting in lots of activity, eating enough protein and not snacking, but the scale is stalled.

You can learn about her experience and the tips Coach Winston has implemented in her program that you can use to kick-start your fat loss.

Like most episodes, we go off on tangents with actionable tips you can implement in your fitness journey.

Ep. 89: Two Kettlebells and A Pull-Up Bar

Jul 19, 2023

38 min

When asked about the ultimate minimalist home gym, the Beastie Boys' "Two Turntables and a Microphone" line popped into my head. Only I heard it as "Two Kettlebells and a Pull-Up Bar."

With that combination and a couple of accessories, you can forge a bulletproof physique ready for anything life throws at it.

When helping clients set up a home gym, we recommend getting a pair of adjustable kettlebells because you will have a whole rack worth in two square feet of floor space.

We endorse the Bells of Steel Adjustable Kettlebells, which are well made and from a Canadian Company. https://www.bellsofsteel.com/all-products/conditioning/kettlebells/adjustable-kettlebell/#a_aid=Livewild

In this episode, we talk about how to stay motivated, disciplined and consistent. The key is to make your fitness journey a habit, and we talk about ways we use to stay on track with both our training and nutrition.

So much of fitness is just showing up, and there are many ways you can program your life so you get off of your ass and make it happen, from getting training partners or a coach to adding your workouts to your calendar on your phone.

Feel free to drop us a line and let us know what works for you.

Jul 5, 2023

Just because you are over, 40 doesn't mean you have to feel and look like crap. If you look in the mirror after a shower and don't like what you see, you can do something about it.

While not everything is about aesthetics, looking good is tied to being leaner and having some muscles, which is linked to better long-term health outcomes.

In this episode, we talk about the E-book Winston wrote about using exercise to turn back the clock. Exercise is the most powerful tool to improve all of your markers of aging, feel better and look dead sexy.

Ep. 86 -Exercise is the Most Powerful Drug

Jun 28, 2023

41 min

If you could take a pill every day that would make you leaner and stronger, lower blood pressure, and reduce your risk of diabetes and other metabolic disorders, and the only side effect is you end up looking dead sexy, would you take it?

If you said yes, then the doctor has your prescription.

Exercise is the only thing that can give you all of these things. The combination of resistance training, cardio, daily activity, mobility and balance training answers all your health desires.

Feel great, be more functional, live longer and look better naked.

Ep. 82: Winston’s Body Transformation

Nov 11, 2022

1hr 5 min

When you want to improve your fitness, lose some body fat, and put on some muscle, it can be daunting to figure out what to do.

Over the last year, Winston did precisely that with a straightforward program using kettlebells and bodyweight exercises. It was slow but steady progressions and consistency that paid off with a loss of 25 lbs and adding a visible amount of muscle. By losing fat and adding muscle, he also set himself up for better health outcomes, as that combination is the recipe for improving metabolic health.

The work it took to make the physical changes also translated into a significant increase in strength and fitness.

We also talk about his changes to his diet and sleep to help create an optimal environment for improving health and body composition.

Little changes over time lead to significant changes in your health and fitness.
