0:00.0	What is going on, guys? Welcome back to another episode of the Eric Roberts Fitness podcast.
0:06.7	I hope that you are doing super well.
0:09.7	In this episode today, we are going to be covering why summer is the most important season for your fitness.
0:18.1	I think this is a timely podcast heading into the summertime, at least here,
0:22.7	in the U.S. I know we have listeners from all over the world, so thank you so much if you are listening
0:27.6	outside of the U.S. But here in the U.S., it's coming up on summer, and what if I told you that summer

1:41.6	success. I'll share what, you know, I kind of personally do when I go on
1:46.4	trips or vacations and how I adjust without being in the all-or-nothing mindset, which, by the way,

1:58.5	coach a lot of our clients on to have them still enjoy
2:03.1	social events, vacations, trips, but not completely undo their progress and also still make
