Podcasts about bad couch guru

In today’s episode Pete is joined by author, podcaster, fitness influencer and founder of Couch To Active, Lyn Lindbergh to discuss her business venture and why it means so much to her. Together they explore the benefits of beings active and the importance of being a kind, compassionate person and why love and relationships are the most important thing in our lives.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   Getting active is the one thing you can do that will help your health that is free and has no ill side effects. Although there are all of the benefits associated with getting active, it remains the most underused tool that people use. If you are caught with a chronic illness which sees you in bed every day, it is even more important for you to be active but the barriers you have to get there are sometimes tough to overcome.   ‘Should’ is a word of frustration. If you are saying ‘should’ you are saying you are not happy with how things are in your life right now. There are some non negotiable ‘shoulds’ in life. We all should be kind, compassionate and caring to one another. As far as your own life goes, you should have the freedom to explore and do what makes a good life for you.   Love the people around you. When you see someone you love decline within themselves, you realise that life really comes down to relationships and love. These are the two things that only really matter at the end of it all.   We have issues as a globe that need solving and we have huge problems in the world that need to be addressed but overall, we are way more aligned in agreement on life in general than social media will lead you to believe. It is unfortunate that we have this sense of these huge divides. With listening, there is a way to find commonalities, build bridges and solve those issues.   When you really understand that you are nearing the end of your life and you come to think about your bucket list, the concept of skydiving, underwater sea diving and other wild tasks you may have previously put on it become meaningless.     BEST MOMENTS “With all of that, it grew me up and I am able to do what I am doing today.” “Do what makes a good life for you.” “I am right where I am supposed to be.” “There is such a need there, I would love to fulfil that need.” “In the end it is really love and the people in my life that really matters.”   ABOUT THE GUEST “I am Lyn Lindbergh, the author of the 6x award winning book COUCH to ACTIVE: The Missing Link that Takes You from Sedentary to Active,host of the Health and Fitness Motivation podcast, Blogger, Speaker, Coach, Fitness Influencer, Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Pilates Instructor, Certified Group Fitness Instructor, and President of COUCH to ACTIVE.

If you tuned in last week, you know that I'm excited about using journaling as a way to power up your performance, not just when it comes to health and fitness, but in all areas of your life. I did some killer interviews over the summer with top minds in the health and fitness industry. For this podcast, I looked back through the podcast episodes and used some clips from the interviews as journal prompts.  Tune into the podcast to get the full context. Then, spend some time reflecting and writing about any of the topics that resonate with you. From Sara J Loureiro, Mindset Coach & Business Strategist for women who are on a mission to make a serious impact in the world: We talked about living life "As if..." How would your behavior change in certain situations if you behaved as if what you want has already happened? How might this apply to your life? Is there something big you’d like to accomplish that living As If would help with? From Dr. Heather Denniston, chiropractor with a certification in wellness chiropractic (and a very long list of honors and accolades!): We talked about living a sepia-toned existence, and the influence the small choices we make daily have in our life. This includes several areas of wellness, including: sleep, hydration, nutrition, managing stress, exercise, connection with others, relationships with friends and family, finances and fun. In your journal, jot down one area where you feel like you can improve. Don't try to make a big, sweeping change. Just note one tiny thing you can do this week to make a positive change in your life From Bonnie Parrish-Kell, Chief Diva at Slow Poke Divas: Bonnie began her athletic journey at age 50 and leads a life that shows us all that we are never too old or too out of shape to lead an active lifestyle. We talked about the importance of being patient and not comparing your journey to other people’s journey. Do you ever make poor decisions because you are trying to rush your progress? Or because you lack the patience to see where your path takes you? Do you ever feel "less than" because you are comparing yourself to others? Listen to what Bonnie says in the podcast, and then write about it in your journal. From Dr. Michelle Segar, author of No Sweat! How the Simple Science of Motivation Can Bring You a Lifetime of Fitness: Dr. Segar has devoted her 25-year career to creating sustainable behavior change for health and well-being, and she is a recognized pioneer in the field. Michelle reminds us to stop being discouraged, and to stop being down on ourselves. You don't need to run a marathon, or put in hours on the bike for it to be considered exercise. Take the time to find ways of moving that are rewarding to you, and find ways to work small bursts of exercise into your day. What are some ways you can work some quick bursts of exercise into your day? If you are trying to find more time to foam roll, or to do strength exercises, or to work in a bit of yoga, how can you fit it in? From Lyn Lindbergh, the Bad Couch Guru, and author of the new book, Couch to Active: We've all been taught that we need more grit... that if we have more willpower, we will be better at sticking to a workout or nutrition plan. Lyn says that grit is bogus (and I agree!) Grit will only take you so far. You need to set up your environment for success, and that includes choosing workouts and workout partners and workout locations that you love! What are you doing in your life that you are gritting your teeth about and muscling your way through? What are some activities that you enjoy that you can look forward to? If you train alone, is it possible to have a day in your plan that's more flexible so that you can spend time with friends who don't have the same physical abilities or exercise interests? How can you apply this to your life? Check in with the group and us know how your journaling is going, and whether this gave you any big insights!   About your Podcast Host: Coach Kim explores topics that will help you power up your life so that you can design a life you love.
