Quick story to explain this - I was testing out a new business and I was talking to my husband about this product and the cost of goods and profits and the industry and I was explaining about the strong positioning I’ll have in the marketplace and he was like many sold last month and what was the net profit? And when I told him - he’s like your time is worth more- that’s not big enough - and I’m like totally - but I haven’t even gotten started.

This episode is all about documents your highs in life, so you can create more of them.

How To Be Awesome At Everything Podcast

Today we are training to be unaffected by chaos! How to get through it without anxiety or stress or losing your cool. I love topics that make us make a plan ahead of time, so when we are in a situation like this, we react exactly as we want to because we’ve thought through it ahead of time. We aren’t reacting out of emotion, but out of a place of control and strategically. You probably know I always talk about reacting based on what you want the outcome to be, not how you feel in the moment. We’re applying that concept to this situation and...

318. How To Be Awesome At Having A Succeed-Or-Die-Trying Attitude

How To Be Awesome At Everything Podcast

This podcast topic might seem a little extreme, but I honestly think it’s the difference between planners and doers. Between amateurs and pros. It’s this attitude that I will succeed at this or I will die trying. Said differently - I won’t stop until it works. Because everything takes a long time and it will eventually work if you try hard enough and do enough repetitions and fail enough and learn enough lessons. Sometimes the original plan is what ends up working and sometimes you pivot 50 times and keep adjusting the plan until it’s the winning...

316. How To Be Awesome At Becoming Unoffendable

How To Be Awesome At Everything Podcast

There is this incredible freedom that comes when you simply cannot be offended. You have more inner peace, stronger relationships and just more joy in your days. In order to never be offended by something someone says, I think we need to first put them in one of two buckets, then unpack from there. They are either in your inner circle or not in your inner circle. If they are - then you love them unconditionally and you know they aren’t perfect, just like all of us, and we have bad days or bad moments or less than ideal reactions. Or we let our...

314. Really Awesome Valentines Ideas!

How To Be Awesome At Everything Podcast

To me Valentine’s is so much more impactful when it feels like a season of extra love, rather than a mandatory date night on a certain day. At the entrance to our wedding in 2009, when I was 27 years old, I hand rhinestoned letters to go over the arch walking into our reception in Mexico that said CELEBRATE LOVE because that’s literally my life mantra. Love is what we all want to feel and experience and it’s one of the greatest life gifts. This podcast episode is all about ways to use this time to really have fun with your people - show them how...

Let’s plan your weekly workout schedule in a way that helps you to be your strongest and most functional self now, and also train for longevity and healthspan. The concepts I’m sharing today are from the book, Outlive, by Peter Attia.

He takes this complicated topic- what forms of exercise are best for us… and makes it super clear.

We are going through the 4 pillars and exact types of exercises you can do for them.

I believe that there are so many ways to get to what you want in life- you have options so pick one that sounds fun.

So giving you lots of choices and I’m also giving you exact examples of classes to take- if you want to use my favorite online platform - OBE fitness.

Using Peter Attia’s 4 pillars as our guide to fitness will help us delay the onset of chronic disease, while also maintaining health span for as long as possible.

Peter Attia outlines 4 different types of exercise:

1. Stability- the foundation of everything. It’s what allows you to pick-up 50 pounds off the floor without getting injured. It’s focusing on core strength (pilates), balance exercises (balance board or stability ball), functional movements (lunges and squats), progressive overload (challenging muscles through duration or resistance) and injury prevention (strengthen muscles around joints).

2. Strength- muscle mass and strength training. Lifting weights!

A fall that will barely bruise you as a 30 year old can kill you as an 80 year old because you aren’t strong enough to survive it.

3. ZONE 2 cardio- aerobic efficiency - this is a steady state where you are cruising along at a sustainable pace. You should be able to maintain a conversation comfortably while exercising at this pace.

4. ZONE 5 cardio - VO2 MAX - an Aerobic peak, a short burst of energy like a HIIT workout.

Attia says that all 4 pillars must be in your routine if you are exercising for longevity.

Here are the types of classes to use on OBE for each type of exercise:
1. Stability- Sculpt
2. Strength- Strength & Power
3. Zone 2 Cardio- Low Impact HIIT & Dance Cardio
4. Zone 5 Cardio- HIIT & Boxing & Endurance

As we age, we lose muscle mass and bone mineral density. Lifting weights prevents this which makes it an essential part of our longevity plan.
