What is going on, everyone? I am your host, Josh, here with my co-host. KG in the house.

And episode 175, 10 nutrition habits to make you leaner, healthier, and happier in 10 minutes,

absolutely blew up. Everyone messaged us about how they loved it. So we're going to flip the switch

and go over 10 habits for better workouts. So number one is to quite simply hype yourself up. And I'm a huge

fan of this and I actually made this our challenge and our 60 day shred challenge here was that this

week I wanted everyone to have more intentional and meaningful workouts to really make it count. So

I'm a firm believer. How you start is how you finish. And if you drag your feet into the gym,

you're dreading it, you know, I don't want to go. I can't do it. You know when you come is how you finish and if you drag your feet into the gym you're dreading it you're i don't want to go i can't do it you know when you come in you're tired you're yawning you're going to have the most foo-foo horrible workout whereas if you can do whatever it takes to trick your mind into getting in there and crushing it you'll carry that momentum forward you know if you start strong you will finish strong all it takes is literally some pump up music, a motivational video, like whatever it is, some pre-workout. Yep. Number two, just fake it till you make it. You know, there's going to be a lot of times. What we mean by this is where you're just feeling tired, you're feeling drained, you might be a little bit or on top of hyping yourself up, it's all about mindset. If you go in and you say, you know what, Josh and his buddy Jeremy just have this thing where every time, even if his legs are sore after sets and after reps, you go, I'm fresh. I'm feeling fresh. And believe it or not, the mind is just so powerful that you're going to trick yourself into thinking, you know what, I can do this. But if every time you touch that bar or if every time you pick up the dumbbell, you're like, oh, another workout, man, it is not going to be a good one. That is, this is the biggest one. Out of anything I can recommend, it's this. I come to the gym a lot of the time and I'm dead tired. I'm dreading doing everything. I'm sore as can be, but I just say, I'm fresh. I feel better than ever. I'm going to kill this workout.

And by saying these positive affirmations, your brain will believe it. Just the same with the negatives. You know, I hate when people say, oh, I'm dumb. I'm incapable. I'm fat. I can't get in shape. And they constantly repeat these things, you know, instead, like, really use those positive. Trick your mains and trick your mind into positives and really empower yourself with this little trip. Number three is to prepare your body for the gym. So this is quite simple, but it's huge. Make sure you're getting enough rest. Make sure you are planning your gym time. Don't just say I'm going to go to the gym today. Say I'm going to this gym at this location at this time to work out for this long.

That's what's really going to help you succeed. If it's the last thing you do at the end of the day, you're probably going to skip it. And if you go there, you're probably going to drag your feet and end up on the massage chair. And then also make sure you're getting the right nutrition in, right? Pre-work out nutrition is huge. you know, don't just go out and slam a buffet and then find your way to the gym.

It is not going to be pretty.

Yeah, I love that. in, right? Pre-workout nutrition is huge. You know, don't just go out and slam a buffet and then find

your way to the gym. It is not going to be pretty. Yeah, I love that one. And even for number four, just knowing your workout, this one's very simple, but kind of mentally going, you know, leading up to the gym, it's going to be a big difference for me driving to the gym, knowing I'm doing a leg day versus an upper body day.

I like to envision myself putting the squat bar on my back,

you know, hitting my 315 by 10 or whatever it is that I'm prescribed. Just knowing exactly what you're going to do is also going to force you to stay there for longer and force you to do everything. If you don't really have a game plan and have maybe three or four exercises you might do,

chances are you'll walk in there. You kind of, you know, do a couple things, then you'll leave. But if you have a prescribed workout, know exactly what it is and leading up to it, know exactly what it is, your workout's going to be absolutely killer. Yeah, that is our favorite one. You know, and also actually having a workout routine goes such a long way, something to follow as opposed to just

randomly doing things. The next up is to get a workout partner or trainer to push you. So as online

coaches, it is our job to inspire our clients to give them the tools they need to actually go forward.

And, you know, I've had countless clients say online coaching is the best investment in my life

for my fitness because I know at the end of the

week I need to crush my workouts I need to eat right because I have someone to report to same with the partner you know if you have someone who's with you it's like buddy you're slack in let's push it let's turn it up a bit it can go such a long way I love it and this is another one that we really enjoy just putting your phone on airplane mode or tossing in the locker can go such a long way

i find for myself i can get this is another one that we really enjoy. Just putting your phone on airplane mode or tossing in the locker can go such a long way.
