What is going on, everyone? Today we're going to be talking about 15 pro fitness tips and strategies

that you need to know. And as always, welcome to the fit, healthy, and most of all happy podcast.

I am your coach and host. Josh, here with my co-coach and co-host. KG in the house.

And let's jump right into this bad boy. This is going to be an awesome episode. It's going to be a

refresher of concepts you will hear us talk about on this bad boy. This is going to be an awesome episode. It's going to be a refresher of

concepts you will hear us talk about on this show continually. But once again, we really encourage you to find one or two of these, pull them out of this episode, implement them into your life and really accelerate your fitness journey. And here's the thing. You know, there's 15 of these things. If you're someone that isn't doing all of them, that's totally okay. Like Josh said, just focus on one thing at a time. You don't have to implement every single thing, just, you know, one thing for every single week and you will become substantially better every single day. So number one is understanding the basics of building muscle. Now, this is super important. At the end of the day, you know, a lot of times I think people are so focused on becoming lean, becoming shredded. And I do believe, though, at some point in your fitness journey, you have to focus on building muscle, being in a calorie surplus, or at least doing a body recomposition where you're kind of more at maintenance, but you're still focused on building some good muscle. Unfortunately, if you're always cutting calories and you're always trying to eat less and burn more, that's going to be

very tough. But the benefits are you're going to be able to burn significantly more calories down

the road and you will look way better. So building muscle, in my opinion, is very overrated. I mean,

sorry, underrated, but it's something you just have to focus on and make sure you're utilizing at least some time in your fitness journey.

Awesome. Yeah, go ahead. Oh, you're good. You want to say? Yeah, and just even past that, just knowing how to actually do it. And this is something we do for all our clients is helping them understand the right surplus, right? A lot of times when you're focused on building muscle, but you do too big of a surplus, you're going to end up putting on a lot more fat.

So just having the right balance being in a slight

surplus you know getting the right strength training regimen down which is something we're about to jump

into is very important that's awesome i couldn't agree with that more so number two is going to be

learn how to structure a workout effectively.

And we've done an episode and a YouTube video on this topic.

So definitely be sure to check out the optimal workout structure for the best results.

I will put that in the show notes.

You can find that there.

But if you're not structuring a workout intelligently, chances are you're leaving a lot of gains on the table.

So once again, you know, make sure you limit cardio or try to do cardio after, you know, weight training of composition is your primary goal. You know, once again, we get in more detail to that. Like it doesn't, it's okay if you five minutes and warm up. But don't do anything strenuous, you know, really prioritize your goals first. Focus on those compounds, push into those hypertrophies. And once again, I really

recommend that episode. Yeah, that's awesome. Definitely absolutely huge for, you know, just making

solid progress. And number three, we're going to be jumping into more of a nutritional one. Just
