We're really, really some amazing episodes where we go over your questions, you know, we go over our favorite quotes, what's on our minds. Then on Thursdays here, we jump into something that is on the top of our mind. And today we're going to be talking about five gym mistakes that you need to avoid for faster results. You know, if you're doing any of these, they're really going to be slowing you down, really dragging you back and limiting your success in the gym. So definitely listen up. This is an amazing episode. Thank you for tuning in. What's numumero? No. I just wanted to let you know |
| 0:55.0 | number five is going to be the most important and the most common one that people make. So make |
| 0:59.6 | sure to stay to the end because it's an absolute super, super important one. But we may as well |
| 1:05.7 | jump into number one. One of the most common mistakes is just being way to obsessed with cardio |
| 1:10.6 | and being way to obsessed with cardio and being way too |
| 1:11.8 | obsessed with burning calories. Now, we all use those machines that tell you how many calories |
| 1:16.3 | you burn. A lot of us have Fitbits, Apple watches, all that good stuff. Now, this is good to let you |
| 1:21.6 | know like a little bit of information, but I do find that a lot of times the people that become |
| 1:26.0 | too obsessed with that stuff, they don't end up getting the results. They're not focused on getting stronger. They're not focused on mind muscle connection, building muscle and all the most important factors of, you know, what you should be focusing on to look good, to feel good, to perform good, to have better body composition and all that good stuff. So it is a cool tool. |
| 1:45.7 | Josh and myself have talked about this before. |
| 2:01.4 | You know, I'll look at my watch and be like, oh, you know, I burn this many calories today. Like, cool, that's good to know. But it shouldn't be something that you should have your eye on at all times or else, you know, you can jump up and down for the next hour and you're going to burn more calories than I probably will in my strength training workout, but is that actually effective in building muscle, in just doing this stuff that's needed to look good and to get the results that you're all after? And, you know, that's, that's number one. Yeah, you nailed that. Like, and it's so funny because, you know, even though we say we, you know, like every, I agree with everything Kyle said, I love it, but also you've got to be careful with it, right? Like we love data. It's what we do for a living. |
| 2:20.5 | Like we online coach. |
| 2:21.7 | So we coach people that, you know, we're not face to face and when you look at this data. But, you know, some people will get so caught up in one metric not being perfect. I'm like, what the heck all the other ones are looking amazing like you know you just they're tools and you need to |
| 2:33.9 | use them as tools don't assign yourself worth of them don like you know you just they're tools and you need to use them |
| 2:34.2 | as tools don't assign yourself worth of them don't you know get so fixated on little things and yeah like |
| 2:40.2 | kyle said you know somebody's got to focus on that big pitcher and just train hard and just do what's right so |
| 2:44.8 | you nailed that one that was a really great uh tip right there and number two is a big one too you know |
| 2:50.0 | this is really really key And it's just so |
