This is what to expect from my page:

- Accessible Fitness and Nutrition tips.

- Debunking BS marketing and fads.

- Showing how to be active and healthy but not obsessed- I am married with 4 kids. I’m a girl dad. There are going to be time hacks, healthy recipes, and yes, an occasional reality check with McDonald’s or something else. And fun family activities.

- Workout videos and guides

- Authentic question and answer sessions, as well as constant engagement with my community.

- Random memes and videos, and other things that make me feel feelings. (Probably lots of cute animals and cancer stories since cancer affects me personally and my family so deeply.)

- Anything else true to my mission of helping people life a healthier and happier life.

I hate the modern usage of the “give a man a fish or teach a man to fish” quote. It is often presented as a judgmental, condescending, and weirdly binary-only pseudo political thing. Many people apply it to fitness, nutrition, and many other things that are not intuitive or “easy” for literally hundreds of millions of people worldwide.

I would argue that a lot of the time, if not most of the time, we have to give a man a fish WHILE we teach him to fish. True teaching is hands on; it takes patience, time, repetition, kindness, empathy, and more. And, absolutely, yes, sometimes handouts.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that in a world full of people just looking for a little help, if you want to actually help people be healthier, happier, and live longer, and you know how to do it, take your friends to the gym, buy them some healthy foods, spend some time cooking with them, and DO things together. Because here’s a saying I do love, “people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.“

You don’t NEED supplements. The very definition is:

“something that completes or enhances something else when added to it.”

That “something else” is a balanced, healthy lifestyle. NO AMOUNT OF PILLS AND POWDERS will work if you don’t do the real work: eat well, sleep well, workout. Of course we can add more to the list—but I know that you already know what you SHOULD be doing. Do that first. Then we can add supplements later. Creatine monohydrate and protein powder are usually the first mainstays. The rest vary on how well you eat, your workout level, and your individual blood tests (don’t just guess). And lastly, this is talking about supplements. PED/steroids/hormones/peptides are a whole other animal. Don’t confuse the simple!

So you know that you SHOULD be lifting weights… but you don’t know how? I got you! Start with 3 days a week for 30 minutes. Unless you’re an advanced lifter or have very specific body goals, you’ll never NEED more than 3-4 days a week at 45 mins-1 hr max (but go for it if you want). Here’s how to make your own first program:

1) Pick 5-6 exercises
2) Do 3-4 sets each (rest 1 min between)
3) Do 10-15 reps/set that feel hard enough to where you only have 1 rep left.
4) Start with full or half body workouts so you get more variety. Only isolate/get specific when you’re comfortable.

EVERY workout should have at least 1 or more of: a squat, a deadlift, an overhead press, a chest press, and a row/pull-down motion. By the end of the week, you should have done all those moves. That’s the foundation, add other exercises based around those.

[Phil Catudal @TrainedByPhil]

You DO NOT need ice baths, saunas, detoxes, NAD drips, or almost any/everything being marketed to you right now. You DO need:
1) Enough sleep (7.5 plus hours)
2) Proper nutrition (Goal based variance)
3) To walk daily (8k steps or more)
4) To lift weights 3+ days a week
5) To have friends
6) To manage stress

Don’t fu*% with anything else until you’ve mastered these. If you have free money and time to light on fire—go for it. Otherwise you can pass and go back to basics.

Stick to your own journey, share knowledge with passion, and stay open minded. Don’t pretend to know it all—especially if you’re not a professional in the field (who also don’t know everything and are still finding out more daily). Stay healthy and happy! Happy new year!

I have personal trained other humans for more than 25 000 hours in person. Countless more online, and probably millions over @iFit (without my knowledge) 😂💪❤️ Want to know my biggest takeaway?

It’s PERSONAL training!

Every. Single. Person. Is. Different.

The one that works for you and that you can stick to is the best. There is no better plan than others, the best plan is the one that you can keep doing. People need to stop preaching what works for them as religion. Good for you! But that doesn’t mean it’s right for others.

Can you name two GOP lowlifes who never applauded — not even once — during the countless standing ovations tonight for President Zelenskyy?
