To learn more about my online coaching program for men over 30:
Fill in this form 

 

00:03 Start with making fitness so easy that you can't fail to establish a habit.

05:45 Mindset plays a significant role in fitness success, and limiting beliefs can hold you back.

11:41 Consistent and gradual progress can lead to impressive achievements, even in later years.

15:24 Start with simple, achievable fitness goals like short walks and gradually build from there.

20:54 Focus on holistic health factors, such as sleep, stress management, and lifestyle, in addition to exercise and diet.

21:21 Train for power, not just size, as you age, especially for men over 40. Power training can help maintain explosiveness.

23:12 Maintaining the same weight as you age without focusing on muscle can lead to increased body fat. Encourage staying lean, healthy, strong, and powerful.

24:22 Strength training and muscle maintenance are important for preventing falls and maintaining stability as you age. 

25:44 Taking responsibility for your choices, including diet and exercise, is essential for maintaining health and fitness. 30:13 The specific exercises aren't as important as the ability to load them and train hard; variety and adaptability in exercises can benefit progress.

42:01 Crash dieting, especially extreme diets, can lead to failure and rebound eating. The human brain is wired for feast or famine. 

44:23 Weight loss should be gradual and sustainable. Half to one kilo per week is a sustainable maximum for most people.

47:59 Focus on total daily calorie intake and protein intake (1-1.5 grams per pound of body weight) for effective weight management. 

52:36 Social media influencers prioritize views and traffic, not necessarily the quality of information. Be cautious about overcomplicating fitness advice.

57:57 Getting enough sleep and reducing phone notifications at night can have a significant impact on health and well-being. 

01:02:04 Focus on real coaching and training, not just social media presence.

01:05:00 Many personal trainers leave the industry within the first five years due to challenges and lack of business skills.

01:09:51 Personal training courses should include education on social media, marketing, and adapting to industry changes.

01:14:02 Improve certification courses by involving experts with practical experience in the field.

01:17:06 Start pursuing your goals and adventures earlier in life, as physical capabilities and risks change with age.

01:22:21 Start pursuing your goals and adventures now, as you never know what the future holds.

01:22:49 Don't wait for the "perfect" time to do what you want; life is uncertain, and opportunities may disappear.

01:23:16 Don't wait to wear that special outfit or go on adventures; seize the moment and make memories.

01:23:57 Prioritize your health and well-being because health issues can arise unexpectedly, even in fit individuals.
