Setting up the rest of season 3 o the Shredducation podcast, personal trainer, fitness expert and host Ryan Waters gives an overview of all the things to consider when looking at adopting a new and healthy lifestyle. Next time, we start the deep dive, so get ready, it's time to level up, put in the work, get fit and get shredded up.

There's no denying it. COVID-world is hard on all of us. We're divided on everything, stress is high and sometimes you just need to let it all out. Today is Ryan's turn. His opening rant may be controversial and you may not agree with him. That's OK. Because when we get through it together we get to the really good stuff. Puking's OK, just remember to clean it up afterward and find your way to healthy living.

Ryan Waters offers straight talk about the need to stop the negative self-talk and allowing yourself to get back on track and put in the work to reach your goals by sticking to a meal plan and committing to your workouts. It's not easy, but you can do it. And you'll thank yourself later.
