Hiring a coach to help motivate you is going to lead to failure. The same way that joining a program or starting a new workout program at the local gym is also going to lead to failure.  Hiring a coach and joining programs can be some of the most valuable things you ever do but recognizing that a coach is NOT a motivator is REALLY important.  A coach's job is to show you what to do, to know the best course to get you to your specific goals, and to help navigate the hurdles along the way.  Actually doing it can ONLY come from YOU. 

Metabolic and HIIT workouts continue to be effective media marketing. But what does this even mean?  Nothing. These words mean NOTHING when it comes to workouts and fitness.  Don't buy into the hype. People are still doing 'strength' workouts and 'cardio' workouts. This bullshit is JUST as ridiculous as the rest.  There are no 'metabolic' workouts. There are no 'cardio' workouts.  Human bodies JUST DON'T WORK LIKE THAT.  And yes. It is important that you understand why. 

Every year for the last two decades I tell people to PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not embark on a running program to lose weight, improve their health, get fit, or anything else.  If you PASSIONATELY LOVE running, then by all means go for it. But that is it.  It is NOT the best form of exercise, in fact it isn't even a good form of exercise. There are far better ways to accomplish all of the above goals.  Give it a listen.  Oh, I might get a BIT heated and ranty this episode #sorrynotsorry

Seriously.  Do something.  You're still sitting there mystified why you're not getting anywhere. It is NOT a mystery. I am going to break it down for you simply.  You ACTUALLY have to DO SOMETHING if you want to get any results.  -Coach Taylor 

This is not another generic 'fat loss' rant.  Basically...exercise is totally irrelevant for weight loss.  And yeah, I do give you some ACTUAL strategies. Although, you might not like them... -Coach Taylor 

One of the most common things I hear from potential clients is that they are unsure if they need a coach because they 'already know what to do'.  But do they?  The answer is no. Because when it comes to making changes to your health and fitness EVERYONE is focused on the WRONG things!  ________________________________ Check out the new format: 10-15 minutes episodes. More concise and more directed. Every episode you will take away a specific thing that will help improve your life.  -Coach Taylor 

Episode 151 here we go!  Is there a perfect workout? Yes. And No. Is the helpful? There might not be a perfect workout but there are better and worse workouts. Basically, the perfect workout is simple and boring. If you can get your head wrapped around that  you will be on track to finally committing fitness to your life for good!  Also. I get a bit controversial. Is it OK to be fat? Whoa, coach, you can't say that. Give this a listen. It is an important conversation that has to be had and avoiding it to maintain some random definition of 'political correctness' is a disservice to everyone. This is confounded with ideas about healthy foods, good food vs. bad food, and a host of other issues. This is some of my truest thoughts.  Enjoy episode 151!  -Coach Taylor 

Welcome to episode 150!!  Whoa. 150 episodes. That seems significant??? For all of you who have listened since the beginning, my most sincere thank you. I am honoured that you have commited so much of your time to me and I hope that it has been valuable for you.  On this episode:  Let's cut through the bullshit. Your own. Honestly, people truly work harder at not doing things than they do at actually DOING things. For 20 years I have heard a lot of the same reasoning for why fitness and diets never work and I know exactly how to break free from it.  If you are constantly feeling like it is impossible to commit to healthy dieting or to a regular fitness program and you feel like it is impossible to actually change, then this is the episode for you. I tell you why you keep failing and then I tell you EXACTLY how to fix it!  ______________________________________________________ BLACK FRIDAY Deal  Deck The Bells    Join me this December for a one month Kettlebell Fitness Challenge.

Oh hi. SURPRISE! I am back!  I missed the podcast and having a wonderful captive audience to listen to my ceaseless ranting :) Ready for it?  On this episode I go over Coach Taylor's Ten Commandments (can go read about them in more detial HERE)  PLUS..... I tackle a false belief that almost ALL of you suffer from...that you ALREADY know what to do for your fitness. I get this all the time, "I KNOW what to do I just have to do it!" No. Actually. I bet you DON'T know what to do.  What you used to do used to work. Know why you're listening to this podcast and reading my material? I do! It is because what you think you know is not actually what you need to do. Don't worry though, I have your back.  ___________________________________ Great to be back!
