The Eoin Dobbin Show

In todays episode of the podcast I talk with client Conor. When we first teamed up he had just undergone shoulder surgery and could not even lift his hand above his head. Fast forward 9 months and he was training at his best, hitting personal bests in pull ups and cycling 100km. Tune in to hear what he had to say about our time together. @eoindobbincatto

Todays episode of the podcast is a quick chat with client Jer who has been a member of the coaching team since the start of the year and has smashed his body composition, routine and performance goals. This quick case study covers some of the things he struggled with at the beginning, what he learned during the process and what worked to get the results he deserved! @eoindobbincatto

First guest episode in a while and delighted to have one of my old friends and fellow online coach Sheamie P on the podcast. Sheamie and I have had a very similar path to where we are now from our soccer days, to our party days, to working online, training together and now after 15+ years of friendship both working remotely, running our own businesses and striving to build for the future. Great to catch up and hit record with my guy.   @eoindobbincatto @sheamiep

The last podcast episode of this mini series running through my coaching philosophy and the things I share with each of my clients. This one is the secret to long term success and fulfilment in any goal that you have.   @eoindobbincatto

This weeks episode of the podcast talks about weed smoking grannies, breaking the law and having personal codes of conduct. Don't miss it!   @eoindobbincatto

This weeks episode of the podcast covers my thoughts on how to respect yourself. Self respect is a vital part of progressing in any area and means saying no to the things that don't serve you. Its not treating yourself but setting boundaries, saying no and taking action. Treating yourself like someone you need to look after. @eoindobbincatto

Todays podcast episode explains why everything you do and have comes down to communication. We have a responsibility to communicate and keep lines open for friends, family, clients and everyone else we meet. Communication builds relationships, relationships build networks, networks build net worth.   @eoindobbincatto

Why are you where you are today? Is it because of your exercise, nutrition and habits? Yes.. and no.. They brought you here but they are not really the "why" . Why do you make the choices you make? And more importantly how can you change them so that you can move forward instead of backward on a daily basis   @eoindobbincatto

In todays episode of the podcast I speak about the key to success, the one thing which has ensured my clients consistent results, the thing without which I would have no success stories to share. It is readily available to you right now, in many forms, some of which are free and all of which boost your chances of success in the pursuit of any goal   @eoindobbincatto

This weeks podcast episode addresses one of the biggest myths in the fitness or self development world. Motivation has been associated with fitness, goals and results for as long as I can remember being interested in them but the more I learn the more I realise that nobody achieving success actually relies on motivation.    @eoindobbincatto

Todays episode of the podcast focuses on the importance, power and significance of your own personal story. This is the story written by you, written about you which is told to you... by you. This is the most important part of changing identity which is the most important part of changing habits and behaviours. I disclose my won personal story which I read each morning and the reasons behind it.   @eoindobbincatto

I recently put together a list of "commandments" for clients which I believe are incredibly important to be aware of before embarking on any goal. Todays commandment. I shall take full responsibility. @eoindobbincatto

I recently put together a list of "commandments" for clients which I believe are incredibly important to be aware of before embarking on any goal. Todays commandment. I shall not compare, I shall contrast.   @eoindobbincatto

Is breakfast the most important meal of the day? If so what should it be? There is in my book one breakfast that is superior to all others when it comes to fat loss. If you implement this breakfast I promise you will consume less calories, have more energy and focus and make superior fat loss results much easier to achieve   @eoindobbincatto

Its that time of year again, summer is just around the corner and fat loss season is in! This is one of the biggest mistakes I see people making when it comes to fat loss, but is it not just a calorie deficit? No my friend, that is only half the battle! If a calorie deficit is king, the king needs a queen...    @eoindobbincatto

This weeks episode of the podcast is about how you can leverage fear to get superior results with any goal. Fear keeps us alive and can be our best friend or our worse enemy. However we now live in a time where a more common fear is social rejection as opposed to sabre tooth tigers. It is always going to be there and it can either hinder or help us if we leverage it properly! @eoindobbincatto

What are non negotiables? Why should you have them? How can they help you to overcome bad habits and create new better habits? What would happened if we removed excuses and took responsibility for small daily actions? What would happen if we did that for days, months and years.. and what part do non negotiables have to play?   @eoindobbincatto

What is focus? Why is it so hard for us to access focused states when it comes to work, learning and in our training sessions. Why is it so difficult to stay focused on a goal? Most importantly what can we do about it? The art of focus is required and in order to master that art you need to create the conditions for focus. This weeks episode tells you what you need to do to make that happen.   @eoindobbincatto

In todays world we are constantly bombarded by information. The days of needing information are past, what we now need is implementation and this is actually harder to do if we over consume information. Even too much valuable information can lead to mental masturbation and never getting anything done. Todays episode of the podcast explores that and gives some practical tips to avoid mental masturbation so you can get the important stuff done!   @eoindobbincatto

This weeks episode of the podcast covers morning routines. What you should include, how long they should be and why it is that you may struggle to keep them up. The best morning routine is the one you will do and when it comes to morning routines its best to start small and build up. In this episode I'll tell you how.   @eoindobbincatto

Todays episode is a conversation recently recorded between myself an Eanna Mac on his podcast! we chat about travel, life, money, values and whats important. I love these off the cuff chats so much and they are always my favourite episodes. Enjoy and hopefully you find it valuable!

Enjoying life, freedom, health, experience and all those other values only really become accessible to you with a good dose of hard f*ckin work. Nothing worth having comes easy but that is exactly what makes it worth having . Its January again and you might need to hear this.. There are no get rich schemes, 6 week programmes or overnight successes. There is only hard work, patience and perseverance. Hard work balanced with down time and prioritising you is the ultimate formula for success.   @eoindobbincatto

Todays podcast episode runs through two things that are highly valued in my life. These things are performance and challenge. Overcoming challenge relies on performance and improving performance relies upon having a challenge to overcome. Improving performance and overcoming challenge are important for building self esteem, confidence and self belief.   @eoindobbincatto

Today episode of the podcast covers two other things I value highly, socialising and experiences. Experiences are good and bad but we learn from them all. I have found that experiencing things without other people is not much fun and that socialising through shared experiences is much more fulfilling to me than the experience itself.    @eoindobbincatto

The second time Robbie and I have just hit record and let the conversation go. Thoroughly enjoyed this one and feel like we covered a lot of important ground. Its interesting to me as we have both come to a lot of the same conclusions about life, whats important and travel. In todays episode of the podcast we talk about the pros and cons of traveling, gratitude, networking, relationships and much more. Speaking with one of my best friends and calling it work really is the dream, hope you enjoy the conversation!   @eoindobbincatto @themobilitytutor

Your health really is your wealth. And its more than what you eat or how much you exercise. Sometimes what is optimally healthy physically is not optimally healthy mentally. You decide what health looks like to you and find your own balance. Without your health its hard to enjoy life and also to be there in a positive capacity for the people around you. It is a corner stone to a good quality of life.   @eoindobbincatto

This weeks episode of the podcast is a personal reflection of another high priority value. Friends, family and personal relationships are the most important thing to me. You'll understand why enjoyment ranks higher and the concept of being selflessly selfish. To me, no success in the world is worth it if you have nobody to enjoy it with and no journey worth it if your not enjoying it with good people around you. Covid and remote working has made me really understand what matters most and its the people in my life.   @eoindobbincatto

Episode 2 of my mini value series talks about freedom. Freedom is much more than being able to travel, although that is an important part. It is both a way of thinking and a way of living. It impacts many other values, mostly positively but there are some catches. What freedom means to you and if you value it remain to be seen but hopefully you will understand the concept and why I value freedom so much and be able to apply it to your life if you so choose.   @eoindobbincatto

Episode 1 of my mini series on values and enjoyment is the value of the day. This is a reflection on why enjoyment is my number 1 value, how I got there and what it really means. I have been the party animal, I have been the fitness guy and now I'm somewhere in between and enjoying life more than ever. This is not telling you how you should live but I hope it helps you to open your mind, think for yourself and realize your own values.   @eoindobbincatto

A little prequel to my upcoming mini series on values. Just me sharing my experiences and thoughts on how important values are and how they have shaped my coaching and life philosophies along the way. Hopefully you can take something from this episode and apply it in your own approach to life.   @eoindobbincatto

In todays episode I discuss three things that may be stopping you short or holding you back in your fat loss efforts. While this is not an extensive list these are things I see very frequently with clients who are struggling to lose body fat and keep it off. I hope not only to show you these things but to get you thinking about the small things and the consequences they have.   IG@eoindobbincatto

Episode 100 and some things I have learnt over the last 2 years. It's been a journey to say the least. Thanks for the support.

In this weeks podcast I touch on what is without the doubt the most important aspect or principle of any training programme or plan. This is a really common training principle which I often need to explain to clients and help them implement to get the most out of their training sessions. If your not getting better, your getting worse, and if you don't play the game by the rules you won't get the results for your efforts.    IG @ eoindobbincatto

Have you let the summer get away from you and move you further from your body composition, fitness and health goals? In todays episode of the podcast I share my own experience of having to reset and refocus at certain times. This is normal for everyone and is something I often have to do with clients. Life makes it difficult to be structured and routined and thats ok at times but for the most part we want a solid base from which to work. This is easier to establish outside of the summer months and may be more of a priority for you now.   IG @ eoindobbincatto

This weeks podcast follows on from last weeks. If you haven't already, start by listening to it! I reflect on overcoming a failure, learning from it, taking action and coming back to win. After taking on two 2km time trial tests in 7 days I am glad I waited until afterwards to record this podcast as I feel I learnt a lot about failure, mindset and myself. Hopefully you can take and implement these learnings in your own life and training to some benefit.   IG @eoindobbincatto    

This weeks episode is just a little dive into some of my preparation, physical and mental for an upcoming 2k rowing ERG test on route to my longer term goal of rowing an ocean. I explain a little more about what I am training for, why and what that has looked like. It's an insight into my training and is something I personally love talking about and learning more about.    IG @eoindobbincatto

In todays episode of the podcast of the podcast I welcome back repeat guest Brian Keane fitness. Brian has been a mentor to me since I first started my business and has helped me massively with mindset and taking the reins in life. Its always an absolute pleasure to get to chat and in todays episode we talk about reframing scenarios, gratitude, changing routines and building habits over discipline or motivation. IG @ Eoindobbincatto IG @ Brian_keane_fitness

On this weeks episode of the podcast I chat with world- renowned author and breathing practitioner Patrick McKeown. Patrick was educated at Trinity College in Dublin, before completing his clinical training in the Buteyko Breathing Method at the Buteyko Clinic, Moscow, Russia. Patrick has written numerous books on breathing and has been at the forefront of breathing for health and performance for over 20 years. He has worked with elite athletes, military and general population the world over. We talk about breathing mechanics, breathing during sport, how to get focused for tasks and work, how breathing has been massively overlooked as a pillar of health and how you can start harnessing the power of your own breath IG @ buteykoclinic IG @ eoindobbincatto

Todays episode of the podcast is with my friend Taidgh Geoghehan. Taidgh is an avid sportsman, gym goer and overall fit and active guy who also happens to be type 1 diabetic. He documents and shares lessons and tips for handling life, sports etc. for diabetics on his IG @fit.diabetes. The main podcast focus is discussing diabetes and it is an extremely interesting and insightful chat. Anyone can develop diabetes at any age so it's important to understand more about it for us all. We also speak about life in Bali, 2.50 surfboard rentals, 1.50 scooter rentals and living active.

Todays episode of the podcast features fellow online coach Eanna Mc Namara. This episode aired on both of our podcasts and was just a chat about life, goals, body composition and how our views on things are always changing with experience. We both got into fitness for similar reasons and it has developed into something else over time. A thoroughly enjoyable conversation. @eoindobbincatto @mackasaur

Todays episode of the podcast is a short and sweet episode of practical approaches you can take to enjoy your summer without sabotaging your body composition goals. If you find yourself sabotaging your progress over the weekend and feeling guilty after enjoying yourself then give this episode a listen. It may be valuable to you.

Todays episode of the podcast features long term client Sib Ghauri who has had an incredible year so far. We discuss the transformation of habits, behaviours and mindset that are behind his physical transformation. There is no better way to learn than through experience and listening to the stories, challenges and solutions of people who have been there before you and this episode is packed with nuggets of gold for people who may want to transform their body, mind and health.   IG @ eoindobbincoaching  

Todays podcast is with coaching team member Chris Joyce. We have a chat about Chris's successes so far this year and about his future plans. In a year Chris has gone from sceptical first time online coaching client to coach in training. In that time he has completed a photoshoot and transformed his body, mind and relationship with food and exercise. There is a lot to be learned for everyone from Chris's journey. Bonus material includes more murdered mosquitoes. IG @eoindobbincoaching IG @chrisjoyce1994

In this weeks episode I discuss nutrition and address why simply looking at calories or macronutrients without looking at our food choices simply is not enough. No matter what your goal is you will benefit from improving your food quality and focusing on WHAT you eat alongside HOW MUCH you eat. Bonus material includes a squeeky chair and the double homicide of two flies.   IG @ Eoindobbincoaching

Today I discuss my 3 main considerations for people returning to the gyms after they re-open. Set yourself up for long term success instead of a flash in the pan stint for 2 weeks and then a gym drought. This is so easily done but also easily avoided with the right approach. If you struggle with consistency I suggest you listen to todays episode!   IG @eoindobbincoaching

Todays episode of the podcast welcomes back the one and only Steve Griffin. Steve was on the podcast back in 2019 talking about his weight loss journey and has gone from strength to strength since. He has transformed physically and mentally, walked the walk and is pursuing more specific body composition goals currently. We talk about different approaches, learnings, identity, self talk, confidence and much more. 

Todays episode of the podcast welcomes back repeat guest and great friend Michael Brennan. Mike has been training for his natural bodybuilding stage debut through the recent lockdowns and has worked with bodybuilder and coach Adam Mcdonald since last year.

Gyms in Ireland are opening in 4 weeks time, are you ready? If you don't start putting things in place now your factory reset won't work. Similar to January, motivation and excitement will be high going into June but there are a lot of other things opening and better weather and social events will need to be enjoyed too. If you don't laying the foundations now you won't be consistent, simple as. This episode runs through some ways of thinking and planning ahead to get the most out of your return to the gym   IG @ eoindobbincoaching

In todays episode of the podcast I discuss why motivation is not reliable, not necessary and ultimately not a good thing to rely on long term. If you have ever thought I'm just not motivated or I don't have the motivation to get it done this episode is for you!

Todays episode is brought to you from Tenerife and is entirely off the cuff with lifelong friend and online mobility coach Robbie Cassidy aka The mobility tutor. We just hit the button and started talking about life, building a fitness business, the hustle, work life balance and whats important to us in life. I can honestly say this is the most enjoyable podcast I have ever recorded. I loved every minute having a deep meaningful and honest conversation with one of the most important people in my life and I hope that you do too!  IG @ eoindobbincoaching IG @ themobilitytutor

So you've probably heard me give out about HIIT workouts in the past. However it's important to know that I don't dislike and actually quite enjoy the odd HIIT workout. However what I do hate is how they are marketed for fat loss and want to clarify why they are not the most important part of fat loss and are in fact unnecessary unless you enjoy them. If you enjoy them great, but if you don't then you don't need to find yourself in a sweaty mess on your carpet in order to lose body fat! IG @eoindobbincoaching
