When setting a goal, try not to have  the "its all or nothing" mentality. Give yourself a pass to suck until you don't. Obi's Three Action Steps To Make New year's Resolutions A Lifestyle  1. Being around people that actually support you and are like-              minded. 2. Writing down your goals on a piece of paper. 3. It's a marathon not a sprint. Everyone's DNA isn't the same, so in terms of what we can achieve it will vary: Ripped abs, tight hamstrings, or developed glutes etc. We all have our strengths and weaknesses. Focus on your strengths. Writing down your goals increase your chances of achieving them by 50%. Tracking your progress is important because it get addicting to see your results. If you don't see progress it's hard to stick with something. Tracking your progress also lets you know when you need to switch it up. Sabotage looks like: 1. Your mother baking you your favorite triple-stack fudge brownies      though it's not your birthday. 2. Your significant other bringing you ooey gooey cheese pizza. 3. Friends inviting you on a multitude of wine outings. 4. co-workers egging you on "oh come on can't you just have a            little bit?"  I'ts okay to say no!

Eating 5-6 small meals boosts your metabolism Lifting weights will make women bulky. Only women are obsessed with the scale. Tilapia is the only good source of protein. Cardio is the best way to get in shape.   In this episode we also discussed: What a sample eating plan on The Cut Diet would look like for different individuals. The transformations that took place after Morris and Obi reached out to recruit participants to do “The Cut” via Facebook.  On a personal note: I literally tuned into Steve Harvey's TV show and my friend Tiaja Piere was on talking with Steve Harvey, celebrity trainer Obi Obadike, and movie star Morris Chestnut. Obi and Morris co-authored the book "The Cut". Basically, Obi thought it would be a great idea to write a book after Morris had gotten into tip top shape in 12 weeks getting ready for the sequel to "The Best Man" his plan. People actually talked about Morris’s physique more than they talked about the movie. Obi and Morris decided to get together and write a book based on the training protocol that Obi used to get Morris into shape. The dynamic duo actually reached out to people on Facebook who would like to be part of the study. Tiaja Piere responded to their Facebook invitation to get in shape with many others, and as they say the rest is history. My friend Tiaja's transformation was astonishing and really peaked my interest, as I have known her for years. I also heard Obi and Morris on"The Model Health Show" with Shawn Stevenson and thought I would love to have them on my podcast. How is that for the power of positive thinking. You have to ask for what you want and then act upon it!

Randy has recently added television to his resume as host of Spike TV's reality series “Sweat Inc.”

If you like to exercise and are always looking for new workout options one of the goals of All About Fitness is to introduce you to new types of fitness equipment and programs. As someone who has spent a career educating personal trainers I would never promote a product or support a program that I didn’t think is legitimate and provides a specific value to fitness consumers; the things I consider when reviewing a new entrant to the fitness market are: Is it a correct application of research-based exercise science? Does it address a specific need that isn’t being met by other products? Is it safe and appropriate for people of all ages and fitness levels? In episode 6 of All About Fitness we visit with Stephanie Lauren, the founder of Plyoga Fitness (featured on Spike TV's Sweat Inc.). Stephanie is a former NCAA athlete and competitive gymnast who wanted a dynamic way to stay fit after her competitive days were behind her which is what led her to create a new exercise format. What happens when you combine the range of motion and mobility exercises from Yoga with plyometric exercises to increase muscle power? You get Plyoga Fitness which integrates the two modalities into a fun and challenging workout that produces results. In this episode I interview Stephanie about why she created Plyoga Fitness, the benefits of her program and how you can get results by combining two different types of exercise into one workout.  For more information about Plyoga Fitness, please visit:  www.plyogafitness.com   To experience a fitness conference, visit: www.scwfit.com/mania/  If there are any fitness celebrities that you would like to hear from, or if there are any fitness programs that you would like to learn more about on All About Fitness please go to my website and send me an email: www.petemccallfitness.com
