Oh dear. Hold on because Dan is back on the show with me. Sure, he can be a pain sometimes, but it's much better to bring in that conversation and alternatve view.

We'll need it this episode because it's all about the craziness of fitness and (in this case) weight loss in the news.

You'll learn why the Fit Bit and other fitness tracking devices are leading more people to gain weight, not lose it. 

How you should track your fitness if you really want to get some meaningful data out of it. 

How your view of exercise and movement impacts how much you eat afterward. This is closely related to those fitness devices. 

Why exercise might be more important than the food you eat when it comes to weight loss. 

Plus a lot more. I would love to hear from you so make sure you visit the blog and leave some comments.

Today's episode which of course goes with the blog post you can find at LiftingRevolution.com, is about the fact that men don't see cellulite. 

It's true. They really don't, unless I guess if there's a bunch of men together and they are just begin mean. I suppose that happens. 

However, with my suit yourself challenge, I got a new bathing suit. I was actually nervous to try it on, but my hubs loved it. It made me feel really great. It's a reminder to stop trying to view myself for any negativity I see and stay positive.

I always love my confessions of a personal trainer posts. They are a lot of fun. 

First, being real is important and second there are lessons that you can apply to your life so you can get better results, not freak out as much about the crazy state of exercise these days... and of course hopefully have more fun.

In this episode, you'll learn:

How my time is not exactly your time. 

My dirty workout design secret.

Why being nice is often overrated... or is it?

Why I need to also be better than my clients... at least I feel that way.

Why ignoring happens more than you think.

Even if you're not a trainer, there is a lot you can apply to your training and body goals. Remember to do it for fun and everything you want will happen.

We have a new version of the show. It's not longer called What The Fitness.

Now it's the Lifting Revolution Podcast. You know, just like my blog. How about that. It makes a little too much sense doesn't it?

Anyway, Dan and I produce so much amazing content during the week that we never get to share with you on the podcast that for many of the episodes, it's just going to be me talking to you. 

Talk about private and intimate.

This episode is all about how you need to pull away sometimes and be lazy to actually take that next leap in success. 

I'll share with you an amazing weekend Dan and I had that helped pull us away from our work... and it actualy reivigorated us more to work harder and get more done. Being lazy helped make us more productive. Plus it helped keep the marriage fire buring bright.

I would love for you to get in on the conversation at the blog, Lifting Revolution. Come on and join in the fun and learning.

In today's episode, Dan and I talk about some recent revalations from big food companies. 

Maybe you've seen these in the news. You'll learn why the Kashi brand was caught making a little fib about their "nautral" products. 

Plus you'll learn about an ingredient that Pepsi and Coke use to use, but no longer because they are trying to be "nice" to the consumer... ie. us.

We also talk a little about exercise and how to get the most out of it. 

And a lot more. I hope you really enjoy this episode.

Today's podcast is another "book" review/rant about facing your fears. 

It was actually a tough podcast because Dan and I got into big ideas and we actually struggled to get them into action steps you can use. 

I think the reason is we fail constantly at this even though we seem to try in sperts to improve. 

Facing fears and moving forward. 

It's a skill you will always need in life, in health, family, business, you name it. 

I hope you get some little piece of gold out of this that can help you. 

In this episode of What The Fitness, Dan and I talk about a book Dan recently read called The Motivation Hacker. 

It's all about success and keeping yourself up so you can hit your goals and do so as quickly as you can.

This is not your typical goal talk... these are new fresh ideas like:

The Motivation Equation. It's an equation that can help you evaluate anything you're doing in life and figure out how to approach it with more motivation.

How you can use success spirals to create small goals that not only help you hit succeed faster, but help you practically eliminate failure.

How you can tackle big goals like weight loss from a direction that gets you so pumped up you'll be 100x more likely to succeed.

Plus a lot more. 

This was a great book. It was a fast read and the ideas are really helpful for more than just fitness and nutrition.

This episode might make you a little on edge. After all, Dan and I talk about emotional eating. Having a guy talk about it can be tough to hear, but he does bring up some really good points to think about.

You'll learn about a book we've read called The Thin Woman's Brain. It's main about emtoinal eating and you'll learn:

The number one thought that can save you from eating like crazy when you don't want to.

The nine traits that naturally skinny women have when it comes to food.

How eating more can actually be less.

Why cavemen probably didn't famine like so many people want to say they did.

Plus so much more that should get you talking and give you a lot to think about.

Today's episode is a really fun one. We talk about some very interesting studies that have been recently published. 

You'll learn why your BMI may not be the best measure of health and even downright deceiving.

A great study that looked at whether you should do cardio training before strength training or visa versa. This is a big debt among trainers and now you'll get the truth.

We'll dubunk some water myths and recap water truths that can really help you lose weight.

Plus a possible new sugar substitute has been found and it not only controls your blood sugar levels, it can help supress your appetite.

Then we'll talk about some fitness training ideas that can help you get better results from your workouts. 

For example, you'll learn why you need to really focus on strength training and how it can help you not only lose weight, but help you enjoy your favorite foods without knocking you off your goal path.

In this episode of What The Fitness, it's another "In The News". There are a lot of really cool studioes and stories that have been released lately that we thought deserved an episode.

You're going to learn about:

The new nutrition labels and what could make them a million times more helpful.

Why too much protein gives you cancer, but then again... does it really?

How much attitude affects pretty much everything you do, everyday of your life.

The rise of the fitness robot and why the president might know your heart rate.

Plus so much more fun topics. 

We get a little fired up in this episode and I hope it gives you some good food for thought so you can make better decisions that help you be healthier and stronger!

This was a fun episode all about our recent kettlebell certification in San Francisco. This is something we are really excited to bring to our lives and our businesses. 

You'll learn in this episode:

Which certification we choose and why... Plus the great people behind it.

Why if you're interested in kettlebell training, you should seek out a certified professional.

The common mistakes we see all the time with kettlebell training and how to fix them.

Which kettlebell brands we like and which will save you money so you can get started on your own today.

This was a fun episode to do. I hope it doesn't come off as self rightous, but I'm always asked about things I eat... workout with... use... etc...

So this episode is all about Dan and I's favorite things when it comes to nutrition and fitness. 

I hope you learn about different types of workouts... options... and products that can help you lose weight or get more fit.

Let me know if you have any questions.

This episode Dan and I drill into something we have talked about briefly in many other podcasts... tracking. 

We talk about all sorts of different forms of tracking like:

The fitness tracking bracelets. We actually just got Jawbones and we'll tell you want's been happening with those.

What's the real benefit of workout tracking and how can you actually do it quickly.

The secrets to nutrition tracking and why you don't have to do nearly as much as you may think.

Why you should track all of your time for a couple weeks to a month.

How you can nearly instantly free up 6 to 30 minutes of time... plenty of time you can use to workout.

What apps do we use to help track and get the most from our daily lives.

Plus a lot more. 

I hope this episode really helps you discover how tracking and get you out of a weight loss plateau or training rut... even living rut... and put you on the path for serious positive results. 

This was an interesting podcast with lots of back and forth. It's 15 days into the New Year... 2014... and maybe you've seen some great results first, maybe not.

If you're freaking out about a lack of results of not happy with what's going on so far, this podcast will help. It's sort of like a weight loss reality check.

You'll learn things like... 

Why the scale sucks and maybe hurting your efforts.

Why MyFitnessPal could be misleading you in the wrong direction... and how to fix it.

Why you may have to step back and get some perspective on the big goal.

Why your mind may be the missing ingredient in your weight loss efforts.

Why how well you go to the bathroom could have a huge impact as well.

Plus so much more. 

These are all great thoughts to think about and to help you get reset in a more positive direction.

This episode, Dan is back with me and we are relaxing and talking about some of the stories that have been hitting the media lately. 

The New Year is always really crazy with stories about weight loss, fitness, workouts, nutrition, food, and so much more. So we thought we'd talk about it, share some insights, hopefully get your insights, and see what we can learn.

You'll learn why obesity seems to be growing faster and faster and what can we possibly do to help slow it down.

Why Instagram is dishing out insanely fit and big booty women and whether that's something that's motivating or not.

How dieting is not so popular anymore.

Plus some of the biggest fitness trends for 2014. These are all predictive of course, but it does seem like a lot is going to be changing in the new year.

This episode of What The Fitness is all about the New Year. However, Dan and I thought about new ways to think about getting in shape.

We came up with ten good ideas that are different slants on how to approaching being healthy... about how to get in the best shape possible... and so much more. 

You'll learn...

Why you should stop thinking about losing weight altogether.

Why calories have nothing to do with the health of food.

Why how intense your workout is means nothing when it comes the effectiveness of your workout.

Why the key to success in 2014 should be to scare yourself silly.

Plus so much more. I really hope you enjoy this episode.

So you may or may not have heard the news about how much more it costs to eat healthy. It's been all over the main news channels, so I'm sure you heard.

In light of this big dollar amount, we thought is appropriate to give you some great ways you can add more healthy food into your diet for much much less than the so called "experts" say.

You'll learn the "P" word that holds all the power... it's completely revolutionized out weekly food budget. In fact when we don't follow it... everything falls apart.

You'll learn a grocery shopping trick I use to save anywhere from $10 to $30 per week in groceries. $30 obviously being on the high end.

You'll learn how a few small and simple decisions can give you enough money to buy all the organic food you need.

Plus so much more. 

I hope this episode of the podcast helps give you at least one good tip you can use to add a higher quality of food into your daily diet.

Last week we talked about how to get started now, before the Holiday season really gets kicked off. 

This week it's all about how to create a fitness plan from complete scratch so you can easily get going and work to build that healthy fitness lifestyle. It's a lot easy than you think... follow these 8 steps and you'll be there in no time.

You are going to learn why you should just forget about food... at least for the first 4 weeks.

You'll learn the best type of workout to get your started and why it's so effective.

Discover the one type of "exercise" that's a must and how it doesn't have to take long at all to do.

The one piece of equipment that you should go out and buy today. Super important.

Why you need to take some time to reflect about your goals... if you don't do this then getting started probably isn't even worth it.

And of course the one things that's probably the most important. It's one of the reasons to get started in the first place.

This is a really important podcast episode for so many of us. The Holiday season is amazing... I love it. But at the same time it also drives me crazy. It's stressful... it can be a little overwhelming... and temptation is everywhere. 

That's why Dan and I think today... or tomorrow... the day you're listenting to this is the perfect day to start a fitness program so you can get in killer shape... shed some body fat... and feel amazing through the Holiday season. 

Even better you'll be sitting pretty on News Years day feeling and looking great. Sounds pretty good right. 

Well to do that, you need to know these 7 tactics to really unleash the best fat melting mission you can. 

You'll learn things like how to set goals... what books you should probably take a look at... where to train... plus so much more.

I hope you really enjoy this episode and please leave some feedback.

Dan, my husband, is back in this episode. We catch you up on things happening in our fitness lives including cool things we've read and have done. 

In particular, you will learn about a new study that shows the young generations of today are less competitive. What does that mean if anything?

We also talk about the great six pack bet. However, this is not like any six pack bet you've seen before because the parameters are much different than you would think. I like to call it the empowering six pack bet.

We talk about testing on our bodies. Right now we are in the middle of a nutrition test. Experimenting on your body is a great way to learn how it reacts and what you can do that will really make a difference. 

I hope you enjoy this episode and please leave a five start review in iTunes.

This was a talk that Dan and I did last weekend. We really enjoy talking together as always we end up talking about all sorts of things. I swear, we try to stay on one topic but then it just goes all over the place.

In this episode we talk about our recent paddleboard expidition... our first time trying stand up paddleboarding. 

We also talk about giving things up for the short term but they not sticking with something that is really good for you.

What our favorite oils are.

And of course what we've noticed with clients both in person and online... that fitness first tends to produce better long term results when it comes to weight loss, strength, and happiness.

I hope you enjoy this episode. 

It's been so long since Dan and I had a good conversation together. We have decided that when we talk now, we'll keep our conversations to one topic rather than go all over the place. I hope this helps you get your training in a better place so you can see better results.

In this episode, we talk about getting started with bodyweight training, when it's good to move to weights and maybe even kettlebells. 

I think this is all about thinking about training differently and to give you some good ideas about how to progress safely and how you don't really need to progress to weights if you want to. But you'll see what we mean.

Enjoy the episode!

This episode is one of those random shows where we cover all sorts of different stuff. Our guest is one of our trainers, Ashton. She's an amazing trainer, great motivator, and hyper competitive which is powerful. 

As you'll see she has a lot to say and you will probably relate to her immediately. 

This is a fun episode of What The Fitness with just Dan and I. During this conversation we talk about a bunch of different things like...

Why one of our clients, Sherry, is going to be a major weight loss and strength success story. She does something that most women are not willing to do, but it's a good example of what it means to want it really badly. I think you'll learn a lot from Sherry and how she is approaching her weight loss efforts. 

We also talk about why women find guys with guitars more attractive and the gym going guy the least attractive. Plus why verbal motivation is not as effective as you would think when it comes to exercise. However, there is more to this story than you know. 

I really hope you enjoy this weeks episode of What The Fitness and make sure you check out Lifting Revolution for more great fitness and nutrition training and advice. Plus join me at Fit Women's Weekly for weekly workouts and an real training environment so you can burn fat and keep it off forever!

This past episode was a longer one and crazy to boot. We talked about all sorts of great things and let the fitness and nutrition conversation go free. We talked about body image a lot including breast augmentation. My husband Dan had some views that are different so forgive him. Ha! 

One thing that was really important was talking about not eating enough food and how that can hamper your ability to lose inches and weight. This is a very common problem for women and fixing it can open the flood gates to better results.
