The CrossFit Harrow Podcast

Episode 23 : A Slow Death

You are not your parents, you are not your qualifications, you are not your job, you’re not the size of your network or your friends, you are the sum of your words, choices and actions.

 

I think this is from the Addams family, the lesson Herman wants you to learn, is it doesn’t matter what you look like, tall or short, fat or thin , ugly or handsome like me.. but what does matter is the size of your heart and strength of your character.

 

We have a responsibility to change the status quo, success isn’t a 6 pack, success is inspiring people around you. Giving them the opportunity and belief you once might not have had.

 

You can't do the ordinary things and expect to have an extraordinary life or the extraordinary results.

Episode 22 : Thick thighs save lives.

Brands, companies and even I dare use the word influencers need to stop with this perfect shape or perfect body that men and women are supposed to have.

 

These people have a responsibility, a responsibly to help you live a fit and healthy lifestyle.

Episode 21 : What 'toning' really means...

I want to ‘tone’

 

I don’t want to become too bulky, I just want to be toned. something that unfortunely may never go away.

 

The aim of today is to educate you in some goal setting and identify what it is that you really want from your training.

 

The word tone should not exist in the fitness industry but unfortunately it does.

 

What people mean  when they say tone is that they want to be lean. They want to have lean muscle and they want a noticeable difference in that especially aesthetically, but not adding mass. Not bulky.

Episode 20 : Information or Execution?

There is a huge difference between what people say and what people do.

All the information you need for whatever answer you are looking for is a click away. YouTube, Google it is all there for FREE.

But why do only some people succeed and some people don’t.

Why is it some people are moving on to the next goal whilst some are struggling to achieve their first one?

Why? Execution.

These are the people who execute on what they say.

 

Episode 19 : Training And Work Life Balance Along With Making Some Changes

Whatever your not changing, you are choosing. 

 

We actually need to focus on the behavioural changes. Choose behaviours, you have control of these things.  The examples I’m about to say are fitness related but adopt them to wherever suits you in your life.

 

You can’t control the outcomes until you’ve done all the behavioural patterns to adhere too.

 

 

Episode 18 : Become A Creature Of Consistently Exceptional Habits

Be absolutely fearless, you have to find something within you to keep going. Not externally, yes they can aid but ultimately it is down to you. 

 

You’re not a perfectionist, maybe you’re just scared. Scared of change, scared of hard work, scared as an adult you have to re self discipline.

 

A successful weight loss goal or program or anything as such can be simple, but don’t confuse simple with easy.

 

There is one thing you can completely control in this world and it’s the power of choice.

Episode 17 : You've thought about it haven't you?

Keep it stupidly simple, do you know there’s only 7 colours of the rainbow but look what Michelangelo did with 7 colours. There are only 7 musical notes, look at what Beethoven did with those 7 notes.

There are 2 things that possibly dictate the outcome of your life.

 

1. Good habits

2. Good choices

 

What you do day in and day out is makes you who you are.

Episode 16 : The Pill That Everyone Wants

Identifying where you are and where you want to be is a great start, now the hard part is in the middle of the route you take to get there and no matter what is is… 5% reduction in body fat, saving your first thousand.. doing your first RX workout it is hard. It is going to be tough. Life would not be worth living if it was easy. now the hardest part to understand is that there really is no end point. The end goal gets bigger, it gets broader, you refine movements, you make better decisions and you learn and do it bigger and better.

 

 

But know the truth, it is fucking hard.

Episode : 15 Habits

We have said about changing one thing can lead to success.

 

So lets strip that back and dive in a bit more.

 

You can do these in any order and I bet most of you will pick the easiest first, but that’s for another day.

 

There’s an acronym I like to use and that’s K.I.S.S ‘Keep it stupidly simple’. We have a tendency to complicate things when we really don’t have too.

 

When you love what you do, you are consistent as fuck.

Episode : 14 Who are you trying to become or what are you trying to achieve?

Doing these podcasts, my goal was never to motivate you but instead it is to give you actionable take away snippets at things you could do better.

I have said many times in the past that success breeds motivation and that’s why small actionable goals done daily will lead you to where you want to be.

We don’t get there by chance.

If you’re not in the shape you want to be.. ask yourself why.
