What Makes a Good Coach

March 29, 2010 by

You most likely have multiple ‘coaches’ in your life that you refer to for diet/fitness advice, lifestyle advice, financial advice, career advice, academic advice and relationship advice.

In some cases these could be friends and family who you trust, and in other cases they could be professionals that you follow/hire either online or in person.

In the new digital world there are many people promoting themselves as coaches who may not be the right person for you to listen to. But how do you know the real coaches from the pretenders?

In this podcast we discuss what makes up a good coach and how to tell if you’re getting legitimate direction and coaching or if you’re just being sold a story that does little more than separate you from your money while delivering limited results.

Your Definition of Healthy

March 22, 2010 by

The word “health” doesn’t mean anything until you give it a definition. Your definition has to suit you and fit into your lifestyle.

The diet, fitness and food industry try to sell their wares using ‘health’ as a claim. And if you don’t have your working definition in place you could end up wasting a lot of time money and effort working towards someone else’s definition of ‘health’.

Your workout and eating habits will only make sense once you’ve developed your own working definition of health.

In this podcast we come up with a workable definition of health that seems to simplify the whole process of exercise and diet that also incorporates genetic fitness and physical attraction and the AI and VI ratios.

Attention – Your Most Valuable Asset

March 15, 2010 by

The most important commodity in the new market isn’t information, it’s ATTENTION.

Governments, private organizations, companies, friends, family and everyone in between are all vying for your attention.

Your attention is the single most valuable thing you have and everybody wants it.

Companies with a product to sell will pay millions of dollars to get just a few seconds of your attention during a television commercial, or a magazine ad etc…

Politicians spend millions of dollars and travel the country coast to coast in order to get your attention to get your votes.

Children throw fits and cry for attention.

Friends and family will also compete for your attention.

It’s your most scare resource and the one of the most value to other people. Where you direct it will determine where your life goes.

In this podcast we’ll discuss how the new economy is the race to get and hold your attention and how you must control where you put your attention in order to line it up with your goals.

The Experiment of YOU

March 8, 2010 by

Working out and dieting might be two of the only true experiments anyone will ever be involved in. This is interesting because you are both the experimenter and the subject.

Most bodybuilders and fitness competitors have embraced the concept that their body is their ongoing experiment. They try new programs, chart their progress and make changes along the way. This isn’t much different from how a real clinical trial would be performed.

The only difference is that a real clinical trial ends within a few weeks or months. But your experiment with your body will last a lifetime so it’s in your best interest to become a good scientist with your own body.

In this podcast we’ll discuss the concept of you being your own experiment of one.

We’ll talk about the difference between a prospective vs retrospective research and why you should do more of the former.

We’ll also discuss the concept of jumping in and getting your experiment going.

In the spirit of this podcast I just did a mini experiment over the past 5 days and here are a few pics I took at the end of it. You can do whatever you want with your experiment. Just give something a try, track your progress, evaluate it, make adjustments and then get back to work.

How to Gain 8 Pounds in One Workout

March 1, 2010 by

Diet and fitness marketing material is littered with outrageous claims about weight loss and muscle gaining.

Some marketers would actually have you believe that you could gain 20 pounds of muscle in a month, or 40 pounds of muscle in 6 months.

Brad Pilon and I did a video showing how Brad gained a legitimate 8lbs of lean body mass in 1 workout!

This isn’t a lie or a joke, Brad actually gained 8lbs of measurable lean body mass in about 1 hour. So you’re probably asking yourself “how could this be?”

The answer is simple…if you understand how lean mass is measured and the difference between lean body mass and muscle mass.

In this podcast we replay the “how to gain 8lbs in one workout’ teleseminar (for those of you who might have missed it.

We discuss the main points to look for namely:

1. Don’t believe everything you hear or even see

2. The difference between what is said and what you hear

3. And how your fitness and diet marketing BS radar is probably not calibrated correctly (in other words, you most likely will believe something that is not possible)

p.s. Here’s an UNCENSORED podcast that goes into even deeper detail on the misuse and lies about lean body mass
