EPISODE 71 Comparison. Jealousy. Insecurity. We are all guilty of these at some point or another in our lives. But thankfully, we serve an abundant God. And just because someone is successful, that doesn't mean you can't be too. That should be what fills your mind. Because you become what you fill your mind with. Fill your mind with the fruit of the spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, and self-control. Surround yourself with others who encourage you and make you feel like you can change the world. Because you can!This week, I challenge you to encourage another woman. Encourage her if she inspires you or if she is intimidating you. Encourage her even when you want to add a “me too” during your discussion. Sometimes it's better to just listen and say, “I'm proud of you. You are doing a great job!” Just try it and see how it can change both of your days!This episode is for you if:You are ready to stop the cycle of comparisonYou want to build a circle of women who build each other upYou want to become the positive influence your kids need You are strong. You are powerful. You are worthy.Other episodes mentioned:Episode 70: Your Future Self Is Watching - Make Her Proud TodayConnect with Jen:On Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/jens.get.fit.group/On Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jens.get.fit.group/Check out or join Jen's Get Fit Group - http://jensgetfitgroup.comSubscribe to my newsletter “Behind the Weights” - https://jensgetfitgroup.com/subscribe-to-behind-the-weightsSHOW NOTES: https://jensgetfitgroup.com/episode71

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara dive headfirst into the bizarre world of fake fitness—literally. From prop dumbbells to questionable silicone workout toys (yes, we're looking at you, Dill Bell), we're calling out the ridiculous trends that somehow keep going viral. But between the laughs and side-eyes, we're also asking the real question: Why is there still so much resistance to picking up actual heavy weights?We talk about the physical and mental benefits of strength training, the lingering myths around “bulking up,” and how women are often sold gimmicks instead of empowerment. Plus, Caleigh explains why she'll be cheering on the sidelines in her Taekwondo Mom Era, and Sara brings the fire (again) about why lifting heavy isn't just for gym bros.Come for the laughs, stay for the unsolicited parenting stories and chaotic energy—we promise, this one's a workout in itself.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.

Ep 112: On today's episode of The Retirement Success in Maine Podcast, Ben and Curtis sit down with Coach Andy Wary, founder of Silverback Strength Training, to break down the transformative power of strength training for older adults. Whether it's walking the dog, chasing grandkids, or just getting up and down stairs confidently, retirees want to stay active and independent, and Andy shows us exactly how to make that happen. Drawing on his personal journey from childhood to playing Division I football and eventually launching his own fitness business, Andy shares how strength training not only preserves mobility and prevents falls but also supports mental toughness and emotional resilience as we age. He explains how tailored, approachable fitness routines can help people of all ages overcome fear, chronic pain, and self-doubt. Chapters: Why does strength training matter so much in retirement? [02:52] How did Andy's personal story lead him to coaching? [04:10] What common challenges do older adults face with mobility and strength? [13:00] How does strength training improve everyday activities? [18:05] What's the right way to start if you have pain or past injuries? [22:15] Is walking enough, or do we need more? [27:13] Why is strength training important during weight loss? [29:55] What does “becoming unbreakable” mean for retirees? [35:17] What does retirement success look like for Andy? [41:20]
This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara go full FBI mode on the fitness industry. We're talking fake dumbbells, sketchy transformation pics, shady supplement companies, and influencers who conveniently forget to mention they're on medication while selling you their latest program.

Also, Caleigh cut off all her hair, our office plant has died (RIP), and Sara may need spelling supervision. If you've ever felt discouraged comparing yourself to fitness content online, this episode will set the record straight—and make you laugh along the way.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.

Our last AI PhD grad student feature was Shunyu Yao, who happened to focus on Language Agents for his thesis and immediately went to work on them for OpenAI. Our pick this year is Jack Morris, who bucks the “hot” trends by -not- working on agents, benchmarks, or VS Code forks, but is rather known for his work on the information theoretic understanding of LLMs, starting from embedding models and latent space representations (always close to our heart). Jack is an unusual combination of doing underrated research but somehow still being to explain them well to a mass audience, so we felt this was a good opportunity to do a different kind of episode going through the greatest hits of a high profile AI PhD, and relate them to questions from AI Engineering.

In ETP193 we dive into a variety of topics from our Instagram followers for our June 2025 Instagram Q&A episode. We've got a 90 minute episode jam packed with 20 questions ranging from nutritional approaches, training specifics, to starting your own coaching brand.Advice if you were a coach working under an existing coach brand, but will be starting your own coaching business?What are the things it actually takes to “stay lean” (approx 12% BF for a male) year round. How much activity per day/week, and what kind of nutritional guidelines and structures need to be in place?How high relative to your shin should the back foot elevation be for Bulgarian Split Squats?Can people still grow muscle mass with an epigastric hernia if lifting heavy isn't allowed? How?What are the differences between Paragon and Evolved, if any?What are typical BF %'s for male & female when “toned” or “ripped”?Bryan mentioned in his stories that he's a big fan of pre-exhaust. Could you explain why you like it and how you use it?Are there any instances where you find intermittent fasting useful? It is my preferred way of eating but I don't know if there are downsides for both a deficit or trying to build muscle?Can you explain why you like to program with RIR decreasing from week to week through the meso? The argument for keeping it consistent (for example 1-2 RIR week to week) is that the progress is more objective and no blurred diagnostics.One week 4 of a 5 day, full body, 1 set to failure program. Weights, reps are going up each week. Feel great, not run down. I have noticed my arms look flatter? Is that just the result of eating less food? I can't imagine I'm losing muscle if my lifts are getting better.Since there are diminishing returns for additional sets performed of a certain exercise, is it better to perform less sets but a great number of exercises? Or vice versa?I am wanting to see my 6 pack muscles more how do I know if I need to lose more body fat or do more weighted ab exercises to build those muscles?If we can't build muscle in a cut and are trying to just maintain, how come it isn't recommended to do lower volume or the least amount needed to maintain?Curious about both your hydration, how many oz do you drink daily on avg?How much does being in Zone 2 really matter? Going above it ruins the purpose?Whatever happened to your Tongkat Ali experiment?Do you think there's individual variance among people regarding who can go all out to failure and those who cannot?How much time do you spend in a week across all activities?

We recommend listening to the teaching, Repentance (It's more than just saying sorry) | Part 5, before listening to this episode.Afterburn: also known in the fitness world as the “afterburn effect.” Simply put, the more intense the exercise, the more oxygen your body consumes afterward. This effect could occur spiritually after Rabbi Berkson's intense teachings each week. This Afterburn Q&A session allows your mind and soul to consume more understanding (oxygen).Some of the topics covered are:• Intro• Forgiving ourselves?• How could we relate to the manager and the rich man?• “I don't want to be a doormat!”• If I think I've offended somebody, should I go to them?• Repentance is an effort to restore• Something called ‘empathy' • Chris' thoughts• The offence dynamic • What authority did the manager have to do what he did?• Weights & Measures?• I struggle to hear that still, small voice • Is repentance a spoken or unspoken thing? • For what was the immersion of Acts 2:38? • Whose possession?• Should I avoid communicating with people?Subscribe to take advantage of new content every week.To learn more about MTOI, visit our website, https://mtoi.org.https://www.facebook.com/mtoiworldwide https://www.instagram.com/mtoi_worldwidehttps://www.tiktok.com/@mtoi_worldwide You can contact MTOI by emailing us at admin@mtoi.org or calling 423-250-3020.

The lesson emphasizes the importance of precision and fairness in all aspects of life, drawing from Proverbs and Leviticus to highlight God's aversion to deceit and unjust practices, including shrinkflation and fiat currency. It argues that obedience to God's law, rather than mere sentimentality, is the path to genuine blessing and prosperity, warning against the self-destructive nature of sin and the allure of worldly ambitions, ultimately advocating for a life of righteousness and adherence to God's standards as the key to avoiding spiritual and material ruin.

Bestselling author and acclaimed exercise science journalist Alex Hutchinson is back on the podcast! He is a regular columnist for Outside magazine writing the Sweat Science column and has contributed to publications such as the New York Times and the New Yorker. He's a former member of the Canadian national team, holds a PhD in physics from the University of Cambridge, a master's degree in journalism from Columbia University, and conducted post-doctoral research with the National Security Agency. We're exploring the frontier: what Alex is most excited about from the latest research that has the potential to change how we train. We discuss everything from heat training, to high volume and how to distribute mileage, the effort paradox, and more. His newest book, The Explorer's Gene: Why We Seek Big Challenges, New Flavors and the Blank Spots on the Map is available now. His prior books are some of my favorites, from the bestselling Endure to the quirky physiology Q&A book Cardio or Weights? I recommend all of them.
