The Newstrength Way PodcastDoing What You Want Vs. Doing What You NeedSometimes what you want to do and what you need to do are the same thing..
That's what most people call the perfect situation
Other times what you want and what you need are two very different things
This leads us to a bad spot..
Of course we want to do what we want, what's fun and exciting.
But that's not always going to lead us to our goals...
Sometimes we need to do the things that are necessary over the things that are fun to get us moving in the right direction

The Newstrength Way PodcastWaiting For The Right TimeWe can all get caught waiting for the right time to take action...
It's something I'm way more familiar with than I'm proud of
But I've learnt the only time this changes is when you just start taking action, without worrying about the whether it's the right time or not.
Because the right time only ever feels that way once you've started or once you can look back on it.

The Newstrength Way PodcastLearning By ActionIt's easy to get caught trying to find out all the details before starting..
But often starting is what teaches us most of the information
I used to have a lot of trouble with this too, researching all the information I could find before trying something..

Until a mentor of mine taught us to focus on speed of implementation, trial things and figure it out on the fly...

The Newstrength Way PodcastDo You NEED High Intensity Cardio In Your Training?The fitness industry has been pushing the high intensity train for too long.
We don't believe everyone should be spending all their time on just high intensity training.
Most people we've worked that had come from that background have been able to get better results while not starving themselves of foods and being able to train less.
How?
Using training methods that promote long term results and not just burning calories in the short term.

But what happens when you don't have a plan in place first?
One of the biggest problems we see is coaches not having a plan for their clients past making something hard on the day. That's not good enough if you ask us.
