This podcast is called ‘Real Talk’ for a reason. All too often those who seem to have their health and fitness together in fact do not and they are put on a pedestal by society. One of my goals in creating this podcast was to broaden and deepen the conversations we have with regard to health and well-being.
It can seem like a mountain to climb when making any effort in becoming a healthier version of yourself; the more relatable this podcast and my content can be, the more achievable our health and fitness goals become. Whilst it does require ongoing effort, it need not be strenuous ALL the time and what I hope is that people listen and understand that the only way any of us who operate at an ‘elite’ level within this industry have got to where we are is by repeating small steps until they become a habit before then working on the next area of priority - repeat, repeat, repeat.
This episode is really about the fundamentals and whilst that can seem boring, it is often the most overlooked area where progress can be made. I see far too many people trying to create drastic change thinking that they are a lightbulb that can just switch on and off when in fact they are not. We are better able to sustain change when the change is small as it is then easily repeatable. When we feel that we can succeed, we feel motivated to continue and thus breaking larger goals down into smaller day-to-day and week-to-week actions are the most effective way to integrate change into an already busy life.
Many thanks to Hym for joining me on this episode and for all his amazing and very true-to-life insights and shares. It can be rare to meet a fitness professional who really understands the reality of those who work long hours in the corporate world which often entail travel too. I feel that if we are to help others, we first must understand their mindset and lifestyle. His tips and perspectives are super practical and recognize the day-to-day challenges faced by those in the corporate world.
