Summary

Ever wondered who gets all those actors in shape for those massive roles? Want advice for your own fitness, diet, or business from one of the hardest-working people in the space? This episode is for you!  In today’s Fitness Friday episode on the Habits and Hustle podcast, I chat with Don Saladino about the importance of hard work when it comes to fitness. Genetics can play a small role, but they never outweigh someone’s work ethic. We also dive into building muscle as we age (hint: it’s not impossible!) and the importance of nutrition when it comes to body composition.  Don Saladino is a Coach, Film & TV Superhero Trainer, & Fitness Entrepreneur. From training Hugh Jackman for Wolverine, to Anne Hathaway for Catwoman, and Ryan Reynolds for Deadpool, Don has a lot to offer in terms of what it takes to get superhero ready. Having thousands and thousands of training sessions under his belt he offers diet, exercise, and just plain life knowledge for anyone, not just those at the top of their game. Oh, and he's one of the nicest people in the industry.  What we discuss:  Hiring a coach vs following an Instagram influencer  Changing body comp by cleaning up nutrition Building muscle as a seasoned human Genetics versus hard work The importance of a rest day Find the full episode here:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-205-don-saladino-coach-film-tv-superhero-trainer/id1451897026?i=1000593506464  Thank you to our sponsor: Pendulum: Head over to www.pendulum.com and use code JENCOHEN for 20% off.

Before we dive into today's episode, I first want to thank our sponsor, Therasage. Their tri-light panel has become my favorite biohacking thing for healing my body. It's a portable red light panel that I simply cannot live without.

0:23.5

I literally bring it with me everywhere I go. And I personally use their red light therapy to help

0:29.1

reduce inflammations and places in my body where honestly I have pain. You can use it on a sore back,

0:36.2

stomach cramps, shoulder, ankle. Red light therapy is my

0:40.1

go-to. Plus, it also has amazing anti-aging benefits, including reducing signs of fine lines and wrinkles

0:47.3

on your face, which I also use it for. I personally use Therisage trilite everywhere and all the time.

0:56.5

It's small, it's affordable, it's portable, and it's really effective.

1:32.2

Music of their products. I think there's a big difference, and we're going to get into this after, after we talk

1:35.4

about the superhero part, but being a true strength and conditioning coach, a fitness

1:40.0

coach, and like a social media fitness influencer, there is a big, big difference between the two.

1:46.3

Yeah.

1:46.6

And I think the knowledge and education that, you know, you bring to the table is so vast.

1:52.7

And I think a lot of times people get very, they don't know what they don't know, right?

1:56.1

So especially in today's culture and time, people go on Instagram and they are seeing people who have 10 million followers because they look good aesthetically, but they know nothing and we don't know what they're doing behind the scenes. Right. So I wanna get into that. I think it's super interesting. I mean, I think we, listen, we know what we know in life, right? Like there's things that you're exceptional at and there's things that I have an accountant. Like there's like, there's certain people that I hire that I'm like, I just, this is not my wheelhouse. Absolutely. And I don't, I mean, I don't blame the consumer because what do they know? Like they see an attractive guy or an attractive woman who looks a certain way, who's putting up content that

2:34.6

looks fun, but they're just putting up what works for them. So there's a difference between a coach
