I use to drink and party a lot! There is nothing wrong with having a drink every so often. It only becomes a problem if it starts conflicting with your health or with your goals. And in my case It messed with both. So, That being said, when I first started going out and not drinking it was sorta weird...because anything new can feel strange and awkward but also because the people around me kept wondering why I wasn't drinking. In this episode of the Video Podcast I share my own tips for going out with friends, having a good time without drinking. YES, IT IS DOABLE! I've certainly done it many times now! NOTE: I am not a therapist or life expert! This is just my opinion which is based on me fucking up and trying to unfuck myself. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/totalbodytraining/support

Today’s episode is brought to you by caffeine: I LOVE CAFFEINE – Coffee with cinnamon and milk. In the fitness industry there is an idea that you “JUST GOTTA DO IT!” Achieve your fitness goals NOW, MAN! Yes, you should achieve your fitness goals. Be prepared, it’s not easy to start. In fact, starting a fitness journey can be intense, but you don’t have to feel overwhelmed with the process. Say you’re in your 30’s or 40’s and your doctor says, “You’ve got to lose some weight.” You’ve never been a ‘workout type’ but know you need to do something to take control of your health. Maybe you get pumped and think, “Let’s do this!” So you hop on Instagram and see the super intense and motivated fitness guru. They’re all fit, excited to workout, and post their food prep daily. Soon you realize that you don’t know where to start and feel overwhelmed, don’t worry! Maybe the message you’re seeing isn’t for you. Beginners maybe intimidated by the all or nothing fitness assault on social media. --- Support this podca

Hey whats people Carlos here with the Total Body Training podcast and today we are going over the TBT Rules for Success. These rules are based on a number of things. 1st they are product that I have fucked up a lot in my life and these rules have helped me un-fuck myself. That being said these rules are not original they are a just things that I have learned from other authors like Jacko Willink, Ryan Holiday and Stoic philosophy. But that being said, these other authors also got their information from the Stoics so we are all kind of pulling from both life experience and the experience of people who wrote centuries ago. 2nd these rules are also based on the mistakes that I have seen and witness as a trainer and business owner. I noticed that there are certain patterns of behavior that tend to hurt my clients progress and here I’ve tried my best to compile those mistakes into a list that you and they can use to improve their lives. Hopefully you it will help you too! --- Support this podcast: https://ancho
