Kyle's quote: “The greatest mistake you can make in life is to continually fear that you will make one.” – Elbert Hubbard

Josh’s quote: “The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra.” – Jimmy Johnson

Client Shoutout: Holly

Questions:

If you were stuck with one flavor/ brand of protein powder and one flavor/brand of protein bar, what would it be?
Katies Q: So my question is related to tracking macros and exercise. I track my food on MyFitnessPal according to my macros for fat loss (so I'm in a deficit). Am I supposed to add my calories burned into MyFitnessPal or not (which will increase what I eat in a day to make up for what I worked off)? I don't want to eat more than my macros and not be in a deficit, but i want to make sure I give my body all the nutrients it needs to accomplish my goals. Thanks you much! Love the podcast!
I was wondering if, and how much I should eat before a workout, especially in the morning? Are there any snacks/meals you recommend? (Annie K)
Question, we’ve been doing legs twice a week and I’ve noticed that the inner part of my calve muscle is harder than the outside of the muscle. Are there ways to work the different parts of your calves?

161: The Choice You HAVE To Make For Covid-19 (Corona Virus) Mar 19, 2020

Show notes

Today we talk about the choice that you need to make regarding Covid-19 (Corona Virus).
The world is going a little crazy right now and I can understand how majority of the world wants to freeze up and see it pass.

The next few weeks are going to be chaos. But it won't end there. No one knows how long this will take to run it’s course.

Gyms are closed, and people are being sent home from work. It is understandable how everyone is left feeling lost and confused.

You can either take this time and isolation in one of two ways

Either A)

Sit around, watch excess amounts of TV, deviate from your healthy eating regimens and become completely inactive (because the gyms closed, it's not your fault right?)

Or B)

Make the commitment to challenge yourself in new ways. Invest in your self growth and switch to a new form of fitness for the meantime.

The one thing we can control about COVID-19 is what we do while the world quarantines itself. You have everything to gain by looking at this as a challenge and a time to maximize your self growth and acquire new skills and abilities.

Myself and Kyle Grondin have made the choice to use this time to double down on our business and make a plethora of incredible at home routines for our clients. Instead of freezing up and waiting, we want to use this isolation to really help people have all the tools to stay on track despite the changing circumstance. Be prepared for a ton of great developments on our end.

Nothing good comes from playing the victim card, I personally have set goals to learn to cook new foods, maximize my nutrition , study up on a few interesting topics and challenge myself with new forms of workouts if it comes down to it.

What choice are you going to make?
