The Streamline Training Show

Laura is BACK, BABYYY. Reunited at last and it feels so good, Laura and Jonny recap the last few months of Laura's absence and God's faithfulness. We share all about where we have been, how we feel about the business, and talk about where Streamline is headed in the future.

I've been using a "globo-gym" (a traditionally equipped, fully commercial gym) for over a decade, but this year, I've officially made the jump to training EXCLUSIVELY from home. In this episode, I lay out the pros and cons of each training opportunity, why I specifically landed on training from home as the premier place to work out, and why I believe ALL parents should consider using the home gym as their training "home base".

How long is too long to diet? Many people begin a diet because they have some fairly lofty weight loss goals (they want to lose 30+ lbs), but is there a time limit on how long you should pursue that goal at one time? In this episode, Jonny discusses how to know when your diet has run its course and what red flags you should keep your eyes on as your diet progrrsses.

Have you ever looked in the mirror and felt disappointed that you hadn't made more progress, even though you've been working hard? I've found myself in that position, even while working out 5-6 days per week and keeping a close eye on my nutrition. This episode is tailored toward people in the season of life that I find myself in - married with young kids and a plate overflowing with responsibility. It's a season full of responsibility and challenge, but also one in which many find themselves feeling a bit behind for some reason, even when it comes to their health and fitness. The root issue? A culture of "MORE" and our own internal struggle with contentment.

Momentum is perhaps the most significant driver of long term success for any health or fitness goal, and yet it can often feel fragile. Inevitably, seemingly unforeseeable setbacks arise that threaten to dampen our progress and halt our momentum, and of all setbacks, 3 are the most pervasive. Thankfully, for each of the 3 setbacks, there's 1 high-powered solution to help you keep forward momentum in a world working against your progress.

If you've been training hard for a while, you've likely found that some muscles tend to respond to your style of training more quickly than others. Perhaps your quads are growing steadily, but your calves or hamstrings seem to stay perpetually the same size. It can feel stupefying at best and downright disheartening at worst! Today, however, could change all of that, because you just may be 1 strategy away from solving that nagging problem.

For many people, getting to the gym is half of the battle when it comes to working out. But once we finally drag ourselves to the weight room, we're faced with a second problem - how do I go from a cold, stiff employee to a warm, focused exerciser? That's where the RAMP protocol comes in...

"Maingaining" is having its heyday in the fitness space. People have even begun to decry the traditional mode of muscle growth, the caloric surplus. But who are these methods even for? And how could they be used to effectively help the average person feel and look stronger, more athletic, and more confident? Find out today!

If you've been on a weight loss journey, doubtless you've encountered this scenario. You're several weeks in and have been enjoying consistent weight loss, when suddenly, the scale stops moving downward...for days at a time. What the heck happened?! In this episode, Jonny dives into 3 potential scenarios that could cause your diet to stop in it's tracks.

We're back! after a long hiatus, the Streamline Training Show is back with a new episode. Today, Jonny talks through his favorite way of simplifying a problem that feels a little too confusing, frustrating, or too close to home with a method known as "inversion." This might be the unlock you've been waiting for to get back on track!

The holidays are upon us and that means travel season is in full swing. Many of us will be jet-setting across the country this season, and this presents a pressing dilemma: how in the world am I supposed to stay on track with my fitness when I'm traveling so much? We've got you covered! This episode is dedicated those of us who want to keep making progress even while we change locales for a few days. If you've ever struggled to keep up your fitness routine while on the road, this episode is for you.

If you've been in the gym and felt something pop, "tweak", or even pull, you know just how frustrating it can be to try to come back to the gym the next day (or even the next week). Either you feel like giving up because you "always get hurt" when you exercise, or you try to keep exercising and find that everything you do seems to make your problem worse. What's the solution? We're so glad you asked! In this episode, Jonny and Laura break down the basic steps you need to take the next time you find yourself dealing with an injury that threatens to derail your fitness goals.

The average American gains 1-2 lbs over the holiday season, with some gaining up to 5 lbs in the span of just about a month. This has become a common trope to poke fun at amidst our culture, but for many of us, this potential weight gain represents a clear and present threat to our health or, at the very least, our goals. What can you do about it? We're so glad you asked! Today, Jonny and Laura discuss how you could actually LOSE a few pounds while enjoying your favorite foods this holiday season. If you're interested in partying hard and dropping pounds this holiday season, stay tuned!

The term "Hybrid Athlete" is all the rage these days. People are touting themselves as Hybrid Athletes, and promoting running and lifting as the best ways to look lean, muscular, and fit. But how does it actually work? What's the big mystery? Can't you just lift some weights and go for a jog? Today, Jonny breaks down who should (and should NOT) consider taking the plunge into the world of the "Hybrid Athlete" and how you can do it without breaking yourself in the process.

Are you fed up with seeing zero results? Ready to drop fat as fast as possible? In this episode, I'm breaking down a strategy that can deliver results this week. Is it sustainable? Nope. Will it work if you're ultra-motivated or need to see the scale change NOW? Absolutely. I'm sharing the ins and outs of a no-nonsense fat-loss approach that will kick your body into high gear. If you're ready to change your physique fast, this is for you. But be warned—it's intense...

Ever feel like you're just one good sneeze away from throwing out your back? Yeah, we get it—it's the classic "welcome to old age" feeling! But don't worry, we've got your back (literally).

Back when I was a strength coach, there was a question I had to ask myself when designing training programs for college sports teams: "How fit is fit enough?" That question was relevant because at a certain point, getting stronger won't make certain athletes any better at their sport, and they could likely focus on other traits to become more prepared to play. I think this question can be reshaped to apply directly to parents: "What should a 'fit parent' be able to do?" Today, Laura and I try to answer that question, and we set up a host of coming episodes on the topic of Becoming Fit Parents. By the way, did you know...?

There are 2 things that seem to be universally desired and always in short supply for parents in our Western World today. The first: time. We all wish we had more. The second? SLEEP. Perhaps the most frequently asked question we get as parents with young kids is, "So, are you getting any sleep yet??" Our answer surprises many people; we often respond with a very enthusiastic, "Oh yeah, we get plenty!" Now, of course, we don't always get enough sleep; every human goes through seasons wherein sleep is hard to come by. But we have stumbled across a handful of methods to increase both the quantity AND quality of our sleep as parents with young kids, and we want to share them with you today!

Today, Laura and Jonny discuss why it's so difficult as young parents to find time to work out with young kips nipping at your heels all day (it might be fairly self-explanatory).

Typically, when thinking about "dieting" in general, we consider an effective fat loss phase to require 2 things: 1 - A focused approach to eating, and, 2 - A strong training regimen And that's absolutely the case. But what many people don't consider is just how important their daily movement is in enhancing their overall calorie burn. If your goal is to lose weight, then one of the strongest levers you can pull is your daily movement. And today, Jonny and Laura take a deep dive into the world of walking as a means of leveraging this very tactic. Want to learn more about the Streamline Nutrition System?

Our culture seems to dive headlong into a more and more polarized discussion around the nuance of nutrition. It seems that everyone has a very strong opinion regarding which foods are "Good" or "Bad", and it leads many people to (unknowingly, many times) create moral boundaries around certain foods. Often, we feel "bad" or "stupid" for allowing ourselves to eat foods like chips, fries, or pizza, while we only feel like we've done "good" when we eat foods like salads, chicken breast, or even when we avoid food altogether. Today, Laura and Jonny dive a little deeper into the implications of this kind of thinking as Laura discusses how she selects her own foods. They talk through the identity markers associated with dieting, and how the different roles a person plays can effect their own "nutritional worldview".

Have you noticed how vehemently certain voices in the popular media seem to attempt to persuade you to avoid certain foods AT ALL COSTS? All while others in influence tend to make you feel ignorant or even plain dumb for not eating a certain food (sometimes, the very same food another source is demonizing!). In this polarizing world, how are we to select foods that taste great and can actually serve us (without putting ourselves or our children in the mortal "peril" decried by many influencers)? Today, Laura and Jonny discuss the "Red-Yellow-Green Light" method (popularized by Precision Nutrition) for determining which foods should make up a healthy diet for YOU, the individual. Because, deep down, we all know that not all of us can or should eat the exact same diet, we need geberal guidance and individual implementation. That's what this episode teaches you to do!

We've all been there: it's the end of a long work day (maybe it's even the first night of the weekend); you're feeling run down and ready for a break, and you're looking for a way to let off some steam. The most attractive method is actually at your fingertips: it's TV and snack time, baby! Whether we realize it or not, many of us Americans have a habit of sitting down in front of the tube with our preferred after-dinner snack to spend a couple minutes (hours...) zoning out. But what do you do when you realize that this habit might be just what's sabotaging your efforts to lose weight and get in shape? Today, Laura tells us how she handles this ubiquitous craving for sweet/salty snacks late at night to be sure she stays on track with her fitness goals.

Hands down, the biggest (and often sneakiest) culprit behind many people's lack of diet success has to be snacking. So many of our friends, clients, and athletes have told us a story that goes something like this: "Honestly, I've been staying super on-track with my meals. Been getting good sources of protein and eating lots of veggies! My issue is just SNACKS. I can't seem to stop snacking, especially late at night, and I think it's holding me back." For many, snacking really is holding them back. But it doesn't have to! If you've found yourself in this frustrated place of great momentum with your meals but seemingly "blowing it" with your snacking habits, then this episode is for you! In today's episode, Jonny and Laura talk through why snacking could be detrimental to your diet, how it might actually HELP you on your journey, and the ways you can alter your approach to snacking that will keep you on track for the long haul.

Let's be honest - meal prepping just isn't a good fit for everyone. For some people, the Sunday afternoon meal prep is one of their favorite times of the week, but others dread even the idea of eating from a tupperware container. So how do you know if this tactic is right for you? We have a 4-question matrix that can help you determine exactly when and how to meal prep in a way that fits with your lifestyle and goals.

For some people, "meal prep" is synonymous with "dieting." For many of these people, the two are, in fact, one and the same: to "go on a diet" is to meal prep, and to meal prep is to be "good" at dieting. But for perhaps an even larger group of the general population, meal prep feels like a chore. We all know we probably "ought to do it," but for some reason, it just doesn't seem that feasible (or fun) to eat lunch at work every day from a Tupperware container. But what if meal prep could actually be easy... and taste GREAT? What if it didn't even feel like "meal prepping" at all? Today, Jonny and Laura break down how simple it can really be to prepare healthy meals in advance. They discuss the 3 big strategies for simplifying meal prep, and they talk through their #1 favorite alternative to meal prepping (the method they use every week).

One of the most frustrating feelings for many dieters is the sinking feeling of walking into your favorite restaurant...while on a diet. Your favorite foods are right in front of you, yet you're "not supposed" to touch them! For most, they feel that they can either deprive themselves and dutifully stay on track, all the while wishing they were eating a juicy burger rather than a lame salad, OR they could throw caution to the wind and pile on the fried food (leading to an inevitable downward spiral of poor eating choices). But what if there was another way to approach eating out that didn't force you into the doom spiral of poor choices, but that also didn't feel like total deprivation either? Today, Laura and Jonny discuss the tactic to find the middle ground between eating what you love and staying on target with your goals while eating at your favorite restaurants.

Have you ever gotten to the end of a long day full of decisions (like deciding NOT to eat the mini-Snickers on the HR manager's desk) and restraint (like NOT throat-punching Craig as he drones on about why "mosquitoes just don't bite him"), only to be hit with one more decision that takes the wind right out of your sails: What's for dinner? If you've ever been in this situation while on a diet, you know the added layer of fatigue associated with it. You've got to find food that you can cook/prep FAST, the somehow keeps you within your calorie goals, and that you can hopefully stomach, all while fixing an entirely different meal for your family to enjoy (which, of course, you have to avoid while they eat!). But what if there was another way? In this episode, Jonny and Laura discuss the "other way" of correctly using a strategy most of us already have in play (but in a way that DOESN'T work) - the Weekly Meal Rotation. Want to make your next weeknight dinner 1) easier than ever, 2) delicious, and 3) packed with protein? Then try out our Streamline Staple Meals recipe booklet!

We've all been on a diet before and noticed that eery phenomenon that hits after about week 2-3. Which phenomenon, you ask? The sudden onset of a severe case of "The Snackies." It's classic! We hit our stride in week one with meal prep containers in tow, but by the time week 2 or 3 rolls around, we find ourselves watching cooking videos on YouTube and dreaming of the next time we can buy Sour Cream and Cheddar Ruffles from the store. So what's a guy/gal to do in a world so replete with delicious snacks? The answer is simple: construct your Diet Pillars! Today, Laura breaks down exactly how she approaches her own diet pillars to make snacking not only something that serves her goals, but that she actually looks forward to. Listen in to find out how a full-time mom of 2 has set up her diet for routine success! Want to learn more about the Streamline Nutrition System?

Have you ever noticed how some people just seem to be cyborgs when it comes to their diet? They seem to be able to say, "No" to just about every tempting treat that walks their way. Most of us, on the other hand, find it hard to pass up a good opportunity to splurge here and there (especially if that opportunity comes in the form of a free dessert at a party or work event...). But is it possible that all of us could be a little more "cyborg-like" in our own approach to cravings? We think so! And the answer isn't found in drumming up more will power, but in doubling down on the foods that you already love. In other words, rather than focusing on saying "No" all the time, it's high time we made intentional room to say, "Yes!" to more food in our diet. This episode will show you how to do that in a way that makes it simple to stay on track with your goals. Want to learn more about the Streamline Nutrition System?

Have you ever been frustrated with yourself for "falling off the wagon" after only a few weeks of a diet? The first several days of a diet seem to go so smoothly - you may even start to lose some weight! But for whatever reason, just a handful of weeks in, cravings start to pile up, and it becomes exponentially harder to "stay the course" with your diet. This leads many to abandon the diet altogether and, typically, rebound past their diet start weight. You may have lost 3 pounds on the diet, but you end up gaining 5 pounds back! The reason many people seem to experience this yo-yo effect within dieting is because of the fixation on over-constriction of the diet. Many diets leading to dramatic initial weight gain focus on all of the things you CAN'T eat in order to stay on the diet. But what if there were another way to lose fat that didn't require you to restrict your intake to the point of starvation? In fact, what if there was a way to lose fat by eating MORE than you already eat? Today, I'm joined by special guest EC Synkowski. As a licensed dietician nutritionist with a Masters Degree in Nutrition and Functional Medicine and owner of OptimizeMe Nutrition, EC is more than qualified to speak on the topic of dieting. She explains why so many people have a hard time with dieting and why her 800g Challenge just might be the answer for people who are tired of trying to lose weight by eating incredibly little. If you've ever caught yourself in the "Diet Yo-yo" of weight loss, frustration, rebounding, and weight gain, then this is the episode for you!

If you're a parent, you know all too well the struggle of trying to get or keep your family "healthy". And if you're a Christian parent in particular, you bear a double burden in leading your family in a way that honors God physically and spiritually. Just getting your kids to eat some vegetables of getting everyone (including yourself) to bed on time can feel like an all-out battle. But what if the real momentum behind your entire family's health actually started with you? Today, Jonny sits down with Adam Braud, a former missionary pastor and current fitness and nutrition coach, to discuss why (and, perhaps more importantly, HOW) Christian parents must make time for themselves to practice their fitness and increase their health. To learn more about Adam or to work with him personally, you can find him on Instagram @adambraud or on his website at adambraud.com.

Have you ever felt like you "should be working out more", but you just don't have the time to spend a couple hours per week in the gym? Have you ever felt guilty for working out when your spouse is at home with the kids? Or perhaps you have a demanding job and you feel as though it would even be irresponsible to try to commit to a training regimen. We all have competing priorities in life, values and projects and people that pull us in different directions. How can we decide where fitness fits into the picture? Today, Laura and Jonny discuss how fitness has remained a primary focus in Laura's life without consuming all of her time or displacing her true priorities. They discuss how Laura has found the time to workout, even as a "full-time" mom and working part-time as a Physical Therapist, and why Laura believes that she can't give up on her fitness, even now during an incredibly fast-paced season of life, even if her pursuit of fitness looks very different now than before she had children.

Have you ever heard that the results from your fitness journey will come from "60% nutrition"? Or perhaps "80% nutrition"? Some even say that nutrition is the ONLY thing that matters if your goals include weight loss. Well, Laura and Jonny are here to discuss that very idea! While in most cases, the answer to questions like "which should I focus on, working out, or nutrition?" is, "It depends," today, the answer is a bit more cut and dry. Jonny and Laura discuss why everyone should be exercising, and they lay out what someone who's trying to lose a lot of weight in a short amount of time might do to really speed up the process using their exercise routine.

If you have a social media profile and a pulse, you've likely heard someone giving away unsolicited fitness advice online (guilty as charged). You've likely also heard about as many opinions on how to "correctly" diet as there are fish in the sea. It can be incredibly confusing regarding how to know if your diet is set up correctly, how to measure your progress, and how to know if you'll be able to reach your goals! Some influencers say you should never track your body weight, others recommend tracking every gram of food that goes into your mouth. Still others recommend avoiding foods at certain times of day, and even more influencers seem to be demonizing the idea of even trying to lose weight in the first place. So what's the right approach to all of this? We're glad you asked! Today, Laura and Jonny walk through precisely how Laura is approaching her fat-loss diet. They talk about ways Laura is tracking her inputs and outputs, how she handles fluctuations in her body weight, and how her long-term goals impact her decision-making today. If you're curious about how to create a sustainable approach to tracking your food and changing your body weight, then this episode has your name written all over it!
