Should You Train Like an Athlete

April 07, 2021 00:22 - 19 minutes - 17.5 MB

Excerpts:   If you look at the outlining goals of both professional athletes next to the general population, you will see they are very similar, if not exactly the same. There’s a function component for balance, power and health.    We have clients that, just like professional athletes, come in with injuries. After assessing them, we come up with a plan on what areas we can work on to keep them progressing and staying in shape.   Good training is good training!   With professional at...

Small Rocks In Your Jar

March 11, 2021 12:00 - 18 minutes - 16.7 MB

Last week, we talked about your life in a jar and said that we should always put the big rocks first so that we can then set the small rocks and then sand. We then tried to explore what the big rocks might be in our lives and how to prioritize them. Today, we talk about the small rocks, which are the things that support the big rocks in the jar. For instance, health is a big rock for most people, small rocks supporting this big rock would be things like fitness and diet. Your life in a jar...

Your Life In A Jar

March 04, 2021 12:00 - 22 minutes - 21 MB

In this episode, we discuss the Jar concept where large rocks are placed in a jar, followed by small rocks, and then sand. We use this as a metaphor for what people prioritize in their own lives and focus mainly on large rocks. This is the first of a four-part series. Your life in a jar or the jar concept is basically about finding balance with everything in your life by ensuring you have all your priorities in line and in the way you need them to be. The big rocks should go first in the j...

Don't Set A Goal Without A Plan

January 14, 2021 14:00 - 25 minutes - 23.5 MB

Last week, we talked about how you can set yourself up for success by setting SMART goals. Today, we take it a notch higher and discuss how to develop a plan to accomplish your SMART goals. To achieve your goals, we recommend breaking them down into smaller actionable steps that you can focus on daily or weekly on your way to achieving the bigger goal. This will help you know exactly what you need to do. In addition, you need to have checkpoints along the way to determine if you are on the...

January 07, 2021 14:00 - 25 minutes - 23.1 MB

The new year is here with us, and it’s an excellent opportunity to get started with our fitness goals. The key to achieving our fitness and health goals in the new year is by setting SMART goals.

SMART goal setting ensures that we not only achieve our goals but also build sustainable habits into our lifestyle. The first letter in the SMART acronym stands for specif...

Vitamins & Supplements Part 2

October 15, 2020 13:00 - 21 minutes - 19.7 MB

This is the second part of our two-part series on vitamins and supplements. In this episode, we talk about the vitamins people are commonly deficient in and how to choose the supplements for them. As Hippocrates, the Ancient Greek physician once said, all diseases begin in the gut. With this in mind, the number one supplement that people should be taking is a probiotic. If you want everything in your body to function as it should, then you should take care of your gut. All critical bodily f...

Vitamins & Supplements Part 1

October 08, 2020 13:00 - 17 minutes - 16.3 MB

Vitamins and supplements have become so common, it seems like everybody is taking them. But have you ever wondered why people take them? In most cases, it’s not because of the health benefits but because they may have heard that someone else is doing so or they read some junk science somewhere. In addition, the vitamins and supplements industry does a lot of marketing. We see a lot of people taking supplements they shouldn’t be taking; in short, they are wasting their money. Their bodies do...

Nutrition - Where To Start

September 24, 2020 11:00 - 27 minutes - 25 MB

In this episode, we discuss a few different approaches for when someone wants to start making dietary changes. For most people, making healthier nutritional choices is something they struggle with a lot. This is not helped by the fact that there is lots of inaccurate information online regarding diet. As coaches, one of the things we notice that people have a challenge with is the ALL or NOTHING Mindset. This is where they go all in with drastic changes then crash back to where they were pr...

Doctor's Orders

September 17, 2020 13:00 - 24 minutes - 22.4 MB

We start this episode off by introducing our new coach Jordan Hoppel and asking him some questions about himself and his experience. Tatiana asks Jordan about his biggest pet peeve when it comes to coaching, which leads us to talk about how doctors commonly advise people not to workout. Jordan explains that when some clients don't want to do a particular exercise, they throw the trump card that their doctor told them not to do it. This can be very frustrating for a coach since they want to ...

Overtraining or Under Recovering?

August 27, 2020 13:00 - 23 minutes - 21.2 MB

When we over-train, our bodies are constantly fatigued, and you can’t stop being sore. You are hurting and feel you don’t want to work out due to fatigue. You may even lose motivation for other things you usually enjoy in life. These are signs of legitimate overtraining. However, in most cases, it is not a case of overtraining but rather under recovering. What we see with our members is that they are under recovering. Inadequate sleep is one of the reasons for under-recovery. Our bodies hea...

Meal Prep

August 20, 2020 13:00 - 18 minutes - 17.4 MB

Meal prep is crucial to getting results. However, despite being a necessity to achieve results, almost everyone struggles with it. Our coaching team here at Pulse takes us through how they do their meal prep. Doing your meal prep in bulk to cover several days is the best option for people who are busy. Looking at your schedule and anticipating where you are going to struggle with meal prep will help you plan in advance. For instance, someone who goes to work very early in the morning should...

Weathering The Outdoors

August 13, 2020 13:00 - 18 minutes - 16.9 MB

With the recent shutdown and gyms being closed, more people are training outdoors. They are many ways we can still remain active even without going to the gym. Hiking on the mountain trails, cycling, lifting weights in the garage, playing golf are some of the ways our clients here in Arizona do to keep on track However, there are pros and cons of training outside. On the pros side, you get to remain physically active which is a good thing. However, the temperatures especially here in Arizon...

What's Our X Factor

August 06, 2020 13:00 - 13 minutes - 12.5 MB

The fitness industry today is full of buzz words. Every gym and fitness franchise throws around some nice fancy words to describe their approach and concepts to fitness. People tend to get attracted to these flashy words and the X factor that the gym portrays as their differentiator. For us here at Pulse fitness, our X-factor or what differentiates us from other gyms is the sense of community. Our members have that strong sense of community provides a support system and fosters accountabili...

Covid Gym Safety: What To Look Out For

July 30, 2020 13:00 - 15 minutes - 14.6 MB

The whole COVID situation has meant that people are more careful about cleanliness. Gyms, in particular, have borne the brunt with some people not being comfortable being there. However, you still go to the gym to reach your fitness goals and remain safe. We look at some of the things to look out for to determine whether it’s safe or not. The gym must adhere to social distancing guidelines and have cleaning protocols in place. Equipment must be cleaned before and after use for every client....

Fat Secrets

July 23, 2020 13:00 - 19 minutes - 17.8 MB

Your body creates fat when you consume more calories than those you expend. Storing fat is a survival mechanism that we evolved this to ensure that you could eat more food when it was available for those times when there was no food. However, fat is more than just stored energy. Fat is like a sponge. It absorbs many different things, good and bad. It absorbs toxins and pollutants and holds onto them. The more fat you have the more of these bad things you have. However, it also hoards the go...

Body Sculpting

July 16, 2020 13:00 - 23 minutes - 21.1 MB

There is a lot of misinformation about body sculpting. People always want to get rid of fats in some areas and get other parts of their body bigger. The reality of body sculpting is that you can accomplish it. However, you need to have a strong foundation first.  You do this by dropping your body fat percentage, then build your muscles. This will then help you target a specific muscle group. You have to chisel away the big block first to reveal the masterpiece underneath. The big problem he...

Why Women Need To Lift Weights

July 09, 2020 13:00 - 26 minutes - 24.7 MB

Why is there a difference between how women are expected to train and how men train? This is the question we address today. In most gyms, there are women fitness sections where there are some machines only that women should train with. You’ll rarely find a lot of weights in this section. This is totally wrong as weight training is not for men only. Women too should be strength training. The major reason women avoid strength training is because they wrongly believe it will make them bulky or...

Eating Healthy With Kids

July 02, 2020 13:00 - 21 minutes - 19.7 MB

Are your healthy eating decisions affected by someone you live with? This is a common problem we see with our members here at the gym. Some of them would like to eat healthier food at home but since other members of the household are not making the same choices, they end up eating unhealthy food. However, you should never use this as an excuse. Rather, you should encourage those around you to make healthy choices as well. The best way to do this is by introducing small changes to the diet. ...

Speed

June 25, 2020 11:00 - 21 minutes - 19.3 MB

In small group fitness training or boot camp classes, people can inspire each other to increase the pace of the workouts and push themselves. However, this is not always good for them. Form, tempo, and weight are all important. When going at a really fast pace, you may not have the right form or be at the right weight.  There is the misconception that fast-paced workouts mean you are working hard and you’ll achieve better results sooner. Your coach will determine the tempo of your workouts ...

Overcoming Negative Self Talk

June 18, 2020 13:00 - 22 minutes - 20.3 MB

Every single person has some negative self-thoughts they have in their head once in a while. It is normal for these thoughts to come up but constantly having them is a problem. It ends up limiting us and what we can achieve. Our negative self-talk is a learned behavior that we picked up from past experiences and we can overcome it  Acknowledging and becoming aware of it is key to overcoming it. Then we need to identify what triggers the negative thoughts and then find an outlet. Your outlet...

All Or Nothing

June 11, 2020 13:00 - 22 minutes - 21 MB

We’re back in the gym and our clients are back as well. The first thing we did with our clients was a body scan to determine what happened to them during the quarantine in terms of their muscle mass and body fat. What we realized is that some clients did pretty well and retained their fitness. Most clients gained 1-2% body fat while others did pretty badly gaining up to 6% body fat. This brings us to the All or nothing mindset we talked about in a previous episode. Some clients were all in ...

Underlying Health Conditions

June 04, 2020 13:00 - 18 minutes - 16.9 MB

The coronavirus pandemic has made us appreciate that prioritizing your health is the most important thing you can do. People with underlying health conditions have been worst affected by the virus and are susceptible to many other illnesses. Taking medication to mask the symptoms and get by the day is not sustainable in the long run. Medication can be important to deal with the negative symptoms but ultimately, you have to work on the underlying cause. Medication will only help you go throu...

Fit Mindset

May 28, 2020 13:00 - 18 minutes - 17.2 MB

In this episode, we are talking about having the right mindset when it comes to fitness and health. Due to the COVID-19 crisis, we have noticed two kinds of people who come to the gym. One group froze their membership and stopped where they were, while the second group didn’t want to lose the progress they had gained. They wanted to continue with their fitness journey and get through the crisis. Those people who have an all or nothing mindset did not want to explore other ways to continue w...
