Fitness Machine 008 - Eating Fat

Today on the Fitness Machine, Justin talks about eating fats and what is good fat versus bad fat.

We need to eat good, healthy fats to lose weight.

• There's a central fatty acid that the body needs that we can't produce, only consume
• Eating healthy fats keeps body satisfied, balances hormones, and gives energy

Paleo

• Don't eat processed food.
• It consists of eating only meat and veggies.

Justin's favorite fat:

• Coconut Oil: A saturated fat that everyone needs for brain development.

Sugar: Yay or nay? 

• Sugar is sugar, though how the body takes it depends on what the source is
• Blueberries have other properties other than sugar to help keep you healthy, so good thing to have
• Really only need about 2 servings of fruit a day
• Sugar alcohol (or any sugar substitute) is generally bad for you and needs to be done in moderation

Morning breakfast for good fat:

• Greek yogurt with almonds and blueberries.

Eat smaller portions throughout the day.

• Stay away from large meals at lunch!
• The serotonin release that comes after eating causes a crash afterwards, thus having a large meal before bed is more beneficial to your health and your energy throughout your day.

Fasting in afternoon:

• Not for everyone
• With the insulin that is released upon eating, avoiding that and the crash throughout the day can keep the energy going longer
• Getting all of your calories at night won't have you gaining weight as long as you're not obtaining too many calories

Good fatty dinner:

• Eating a grass-fed beef burger with avocado, ketchup, and mustard, a sweet potato or sweet potato fries on the side, and a side of salad or broccoli.
• The basics: A protein, veggie, and a potato, fries or fats (like avocado or nuts).

Fitness Machine 007 - Fitness Through Injury

Today on the Fitness Machine, Justin talks about injuries and how to work-out through them so you can continue to stay fit and healthy.

What is being fit?

• Being able to perform tasks through every day life and feel good while doing it.

How to stay healthy and fit through injury:

• Do Physical Training
• Strengthen the parts of your body that aren't injured
• Stay active so it won't be difficult to return to later
• Have an end goal and keep it in mind while working out to stay with it through the rough times

Is there ever a time that we have reached a goal and thus can stop working out?

• Can never stop getting better at staying healthy
• There is no such thing as a "fast result." It takes time
• It's okay to mess-up every now and then, just get back into it and keep going
• Take it one day at a time. It takes every day to improve and keep going

Bottom line: If you're injured, you can still likely work-out and improve your health. Don't let it defeat you!

Fitness Machine 006 - Future of Fitness

Today on the Fitness Machine podcast, Justin talks about where he thinks fitness will be within the next ten years.

For the next ten years:

• He hopes to see that the mindset of working out for weight loss lessens, and instead is replaced with a "Functional Training" mindset.
• He hopes to find that more people are looking to use movement to work out so they can stay generally fit.

In ten years, he sees State of Fitness as:

• Opening more space for people
• More climbing and obstacle courses
• Keeping the Dumbbells, Kettlebells, and Barbell training
• Keiser Unit for cables will likely be taken out
• Keep Cardio Machines and bikes
• Getting rid of treadmills so people can go walk and run outside

Corporate Wellness:

• Smaller businesses are now using gyms and wellness benefits for recruiting
• People are getting to know one another while working out

Core Values in Fitness that won't change:

• Customer Service - Wanting to making people feel safe and welcome while being there and working out.
• Online Marketing and Content - Bringing people into the door by having a strong, professional and trustworthy online presence.

Fitness Machine 004 - Kettle Bells

Why Kettlebells are a good idea to have on your exercise regime.

Kettlebells can be used anywhere, including business trips. They are the most versatile and useful tools for anyone at any level, and are good to have around when you need something portable that can keep you exercising.

Exercises:

• The Hinge: If done correctly, it should really be working your core and hips without harming your back, as many believe it could do. Good exercise for weight loss.
• The Carry: This can be done with many things, though a Kettlebell is more useful and easier for this exercise.

Jump rope is another good exercise to do because it:

• Helps improve posture.
• Brings back muscle mass and bone density.
• Is good cardio if you can't do much of that anymore due to an injury.

Which Kettle Bells should the average person start with?

• Men: 16 or 24 kilo Kettlebells is what you want to get to. If just starting out, then go for the 12 kilo to begin.
• Women: 8, 12, or 16 kilo Kettlebells are what you want to go for. 8 and 12 would be good for Presses and Rows. 12 may also be for Swings and Goblet Squats. 
• Ages 55 - 70: Kettle Swings are good depending on mobility and joint stiffness. Can generally begin a Kettlebell Deadlift exercise after making sure body is ready for it, then can add weight to it based on how you're improving.

Business Machine 0044 - Tom Schwab

Today on the Business Machine we have Tom Schwab. Tom is a Michigander Navy Veteran who is a self-identified "Marketing Engineer." He is an author, speaker, and teacher who helps you get more traffic, leads, and raving customer fans by being interviewed on podcasts--like this one!

Mission:

He hopes to show people the importance of podcasts and how they can help spread the word of what you're doing as a business, and turning listeners into leads by connecting with them on more of an one-on-one basis.

Mistake: 

He wishes he didn't have such a strong case of "Superman Syndrome" when he first started out, and instead allowed others to do what he really couldn't do all the time.

Elizabeth is a partner and executive vice president of iOffice Incorporated. iOffice Inc. has provided innovative facilities, management, and solutions to hundreds of Fortune 1000 incorporations since 1989 and focuses on the marketing sales, customer solution implementation, and ongoing customer satisfaction. 

Mission:

She hopes to deliver software that helps the workspace become a more productive and engaging environment so workers will feel more comfortable moving around within their work environments.

Mistake:

In the beginning, she wishes she had asked more questions to those who are leaders within specific areas of the field so she could understand what to do more easily without relying on them so much.
