You're not alone. Between shorter days, endless treats in the break room, and social gatherings where you have zero control over the menu, this season can feel like everything is working against you. In this episode, I'm sharing my professional strategies as a personal trainer for navigating the holidays without losing your progress—or your mind.

I break down my three-step approach: know yourself and your unique triggers, create a specific plan for the challenges you'll face, and give yourself grace to be human. You'll learn practical tactics like how to handle holiday parties without overeating, what to do when workout motivation tanks, how to set boundaries when people pressure you to eat, and why the fear of "losing all your progress" is overblown. I also talk about why it's okay—and even healthy—to have seasons where your body fat percentage is a little higher.

Whether you decide to stay strict with your plan, use this time to bulk and build muscle, or give yourself permission to enjoy the season and get back on track in January, this episode will help you make that choice intentionally. Because at the end of the day, your body reflects what you do most of the time, not what you do during a couple of weeks in December.

But here's what most people aren't talking about: if you use these medications without also changing your eating habits and building muscle through resistance training, you're setting yourself up to regain all the weight you lost—and possibly even more.

In this episode, I break down how GLP-1s actually work, why they can be a helpful tool for some people, and the critical mistakes I'm seeing that lead to rapid weight regain. I'll explain why losing muscle mass while on these medications slows down your metabolism, making it even harder to keep weight off long-term. More importantly, I'll share exactly what you need to be doing alongside the medication to ensure lasting success.

Whether you're considering a GLP-1, currently taking one, or just curious about how these drugs work, this episode will give you a realistic, shame-free look at what it takes to lose fat and actually keep it off for good. No magic bullets—just evidence-based strategies that work.

Part 3Ready to take your training to the next level with heavy lifting? In this episode, we're diving into the final part of my three-part series on how hard you should train during your workouts. If you've been building muscle for a while and you're ready to transition into maximal strength training, this episode is for you.

Lifting heavy feels completely different from high-volume training, and understanding those differences is crucial for your success and safety. I'll walk you through what to expect as you approach muscle failure during heavy sets, why you won't get that familiar burning sensation, and how to recognize when you're pushing hard enough (or too hard). We'll also cover the mental aspects of heavy lifting, proper safety protocols, and how to use your one rep max to guide your training intensity.

Whether you're curious about starting heavy lifting or you're already doing it and want to make sure you're challenging yourself appropriately, this episode will help you train smarter and safer. Remember: this type of training is for intermediate lifters with at least 6-12 months of consistent lifting experience. Let's talk about how to push your limits while respecting your body's signals.Links:

Or maybe you're pushing too hard and risking injury or burnout? In this episode of the Coaching Corner podcast, I break down exactly what it should feel like to challenge yourself effectively during high volume resistance training to build muscle and get stronger.

I'll teach you how to use the reps in reserve (RIR) strategy and rate of perceived exertion (RPE) scale to gauge your intensity, what sensations to look for (like the burning in your working muscles), and how to find that sweet spot between challenging yourself and overdoing it. Plus, I'll share the red flags that mean you need to stop immediately and the signs that you're not pushing hard enough.

Whether you're just starting your fitness journey or you're looking to optimize your muscle-building workouts, this episode will help you train smarter and make consistent gains without burning out.

In this episode, we're diving deep into one of the most important exercises in strength training: the squat.

Episode Summary

Squats are essential for building total body strength and leg muscle, but this complex movement involves multiple joints working simultaneously, which creates plenty of opportunities for error. In this episode, Jayd breaks down the five most common squat mistakes and provides clear, actionable solutions to help you master this foundational exercise.

What You'll Learn

✅ Why slowing down your squat tempo leads to better muscle growth

✅ The importance of core bracing for spinal protection

✅ How to identify and prevent "butt wink"

✅ Why all your joints should move at the same rate

✅ The connection between quad strength and proper squat mechanics

The 5 Common Squat Mistakes

1. Moving Too Fast (1:54)

The Problem: Fast, uncontrolled movements make it impossible to assess technique and increase injury risk.

The Solution: Practice a 4-2-1 tempo:

  • 4 seconds lowering down
  • 2 second pause at the bottom
  • 1 second standing up

Why It Works: More time under tension, especially during the eccentric (lowering) phase, leads to greater muscle growth and strength gains.

2. Not Bracing Your Core Properly (4:10)

The Problem: Poor core engagement allows the spine to move during the squat, which can lead to pulled muscles or disc injuries.

The Solution: Engage your entire torso—abdominals, obliques, spinal erectors, lats, and external shoulder rotators—just like you would during a plank or bird dog exercise.

Key Point: Your spine should stay in the same position from top to bottom. No flexion, extension, or lateral movement.

3. Butt Wink (6:43)

The Problem: Your hips tilt under at the bottom of the squat, causing your lumbar spine to round and creating strain on your lower back.

The Solution:

  • Work on hip and hamstring mobility
  • Stop your squat before the butt wink occurs, even if you can't reach parallel
  • Prioritize safe depth over arbitrary depth standards

4. Hips Rising Faster Than Your Chest (7:35)

The Problem: This turns your squat into a "good morning" exercise and indicates weak or under-engaged quadriceps.

The Solution

  • Incorporate more targeted quad work
  • Think "stand up tall" rather than "lift your butt"
  • Ensure all joints extend at the same rate

5. Inconsistent Joint Movement

The Problem: Joints moving at different speeds throughout the range of motion compromises technique and efficiency.

The Solution: Your ankles, knees, and hips should all bend and extend simultaneously and at the same rate throughout the entire movement.

Key Takeaways

🎯 You should be able to pause at any point during the squat

🎯 Keep your torso completely rigid—no spinal movement

🎯 Quality always trumps quantity when it comes to squats

🎯 Slow tempo squats build both technique and muscle

🎯 Address mobility limitations before pushing for depth

Hey there! 👋 I'm Jayd Harrison (Jaydigains), personal trainer and host of the Coaching Corner podcast. In this episode, we're continuing our discussion on how to deshame your relationship with fitness and food. I'm breaking down why shame-based motivation is actually sabotaging your progress, and sharing the positive psychology approaches that actually work for creating lasting change.

You'll learn how to adopt a growth mindset that allows for mistakes and imperfection, why consistency matters more than perfection (your body reflects what you do 60% of the time!), and how to redefine what "being on track" really means. I'm also teaching you the shame spiral interrupt technique—a game-changing skill that helps you catch negative self-talk in the moment and reframe it into growth-oriented statements that actually move you forward.

Whether you're struggling with all-or-nothing thinking, perfectionism, or just being way too hard on yourself, this episode will give you practical tools to approach your health journey with more compassion and effectiveness. Remember: you don't have to be perfect to make big changes in your body. You just have to show up most of the time and give yourself grace along the way.

Does missing a workout send you into a shame spiral?

Hey there! 👋 I'm Jayd Harrison (Jaydigains), personal trainer and host of the Coaching Corner podcast. In this episode, I'm breaking down why these feelings happen and—more importantly—how to overcome them. Drawing from my 10+ years as a personal trainer and my own journey through disordered eating, I explain why no workout or diet plan can fix these emotions if you haven't addressed the underlying shame.

I'm sharing five powerful strategies to help you reframe your relationship with food and your body, including removing moral language from eating, understanding the difference between a "slip" and a "slide," and recognizing when your body actually needs those so-called "off plan" moments. I get real about how shame is embedded in our culture and why the emotional work of fitness is just as important as the physical work—if not more so.

Whether you're struggling with guilt after a binge, constantly restarting "next Monday," or just tired of feeling bad about yourself every time you eat something you enjoy, this episode will help you build a healthier, more compassionate relationship with yourself. Remember: one splurge isn't going to undo all your progress. You're fine. Seriously, you're fine.

In this episode of The Coaching Corner, Jayd Harrison (aka Jaydigains) breaks down why balance training isn’t just for athletes or yogis—it’s essential for anyone looking to improve strength, stability, posture, and overall coordination. From reducing your risk of injury to boosting your mind-muscle connection, balance exercises can help you get more out of every movement, whether you’re a beginner or an advanced lifter.

  • How to reframe setbacks as treasure troves of knowledge
  • The difference between fixed and growth mindset when facing obstacles
  • Practical questions to ask when things don't go as planned

Stop letting fear of failure keep you stuck. Your setbacks are stepping stones—it's time to start treating them that way.

Here's Why You Won't Lose All Your Gains | Ep 71Life happens, and sometimes your workout routine gets completely derailed by illness, job changes, family emergencies, or just falling out of your rhythm. If you've been worried about losing all your hard-earned progress during these setbacks, this episode is for you. In this conversation originally from a live Twitch stream, Jayd shares reassuring insights from her 10+ years as a personal trainer about what really happens to your body during time away from exercise—and why you haven't lost as much as you think.

The truth is, your strength and muscle gains decline much slower than most people believe, and the technique you've learned stays with you long-term. While cardiovascular conditioning does decrease quickly (and that's what makes your first workout back feel so tough), it also returns just as fast. The key during breaks is maintaining adequate nutrition, and when you're ready to return, using a gradual "reload phase" approach rather than jumping back to your previous intensity. Remember: you're never truly starting from scratch again.

In this episode, I’m diving into one of the biggest struggles I see—staying consistent, especially when you're trying to lose fat or make long-term changes to your health and fitness. After over a decade as a personal trainer, I’ve noticed that the people who actually get results—and keep them—share a few core habits.

I’m breaking down the five things they do differently:

💪 They cultivate discipline (even when motivation fades)

🧠 They have a mentor or coach to guide them

💬 They build a strong support system

🎯 They take ownership of their progress

🔥 And they learn to embrace the hard days instead of running from them

If you’ve ever felt stuck, fallen off track, or wondered why some people seem to crush their goals while others spin their wheels—this episode is for you.

We’ll talk routines, accountability, and what it really means to commit to your fitness journey with a growth mindset. And if you're looking for personalized support, I offer online coaching to help you stay accountable and get results that last.

In this episode, I’m diving into the mental side of fitness and talking about something so many of us deal with—setbacks in the gym. As a personal trainer and health coach, I’ve seen how these moments can impact mental health, especially for those who hold themselves to high standards or struggle with self-worth.

I share why it’s important to reframe setbacks as opportunities for growth rather than seeing them as personal failures. I also talk about the value of building an identity that isn’t just tied to gym performance. That means developing self-compassion, finding hobbies outside of training, and nurturing connections beyond fitness.

If you’ve ever felt discouraged when things don’t go as planned or found yourself measuring your worth by your physical progress, this episode is for you. I hope it helps you build resilience and reconnect with your value—both in and out of the gym.

In this episode of the Coaching Corner Podcast, I explore the crucial (and often underestimated) role that rest plays in achieving your fitness goals. As a personal trainer who’s coached hundreds of clients through strength training, fat loss, and body recomposition, I’ve seen firsthand how skipping rest can stall progress, increase injury risk, and lead to burnout.

We dig into the science of recovery, focusing on the balance between the sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (rest and digest) nervous systems. I also break down practical ways to improve sleep quality, build better recovery habits, and shift away from the toxic "grind harder" mentality that dominates so much of fitness culture.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why rest is not the enemy of progress
  • How your nervous system impacts recovery and performance
  • The connection between sleep, stress, and muscle growth
  • My go-to tips for better sleep and smarter rest days
  • Why recovery is just as important as your workouts

Whether you’re training hard, stuck in a plateau, or constantly feeling run-down, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to learn how to train smarter—not just harder.

In this episode of the Coaching Corner Podcast, I’m talking all about sugar addiction—why it’s so common, how it hijacks your brain and body, and what you can do to take back control of your eating habits.

As a personal trainer, I’ve worked with tons of clients who struggle with refined sugar cravings, especially when stress and emotions run high. In this conversation, I break down:

🔹 How refined sugars are designed to be addictive

🔹 The link between emotional eating, stress, and nervous system dysregulation

🔹 Simple, effective ways to cut back on sugar without feeling deprived

🔹 How practices like mindfulness, meditation, and somatic tools (like the butterfly hug) can help you regulate without turning to food

🔹 Why working with a therapist trained in somatic therapy or cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be a game changer for your mental and physical health

I’m also sharing insights from my own experiences and client stories—because breaking free from sugar isn’t just about willpower. It’s about healing your relationship with food and your body.

In this episode of the Coaching Corner Podcast, I’m breaking down why resistance training should be your top priority during a fat loss phase—not just cardio.

Cardio definitely has its place, but relying on it too much can lead to muscle breakdown and a slower metabolism over time. To help you avoid that, I’m sharing 9 powerful strategies to make your resistance training more effective so you can burn fat, keep your muscle, and get long-term results.

🔥 Here’s what I cover:

  • Why cardio alone isn’t enough for sustainable fat loss
  • How lifting weights supports your metabolism and muscle retention

My 9 go-to training tips for fat loss:

  1. Train consistently (3–4x/week)
  2. Focus on compound movements
  3. Use higher reps with moderate weights
  4. Keep intensity high (train smart, not sloppy)
  5. Choose weights that challenge you
  6. Add metabolic finishers
  7. Increase your daily movement (NEAT)
  8. Prioritize recovery and sleep
  9. Get your nutrition right—think protein, fiber, and a slight calorie deficit

If you’re trying to get leaner without losing strength, or just want to train smarter during a fat loss phase, this episode is for you.

I walk you through the different phases of the menstrual cycle—menstrual, follicular, ovulation, and luteal—and break down how hormonal changes can affect your energy, strength, and recovery. I also share the potential benefits of training during each phase, along with practical tips for adjusting your workout intensity if needed.

In this episode of The Coaching Corner Podcast, I break down the concept of block periodization and why it’s essential for intermediate and advanced lifters looking to keep making progress. I explore the four key aspects of muscular fitness—strength, hypertrophy, endurance, and power—and explain how structuring training into focused blocks can maximize results.

I walk through the three phases of block periodization—accumulation, intensification, and realization—detailing the ideal weight, reps, and rest periods for each. Plus, I share my expert tips on warm-ups, core stabilization, and mobility work to support long-term strength development.

Why Bloating Happens and How to Relieve It (Ep 48)Hey there! 👋 I'm Jayd Harrison (Jaydigains), personal trainer and host of the Coaching Corner podcast.

Bloating happens to everyone—yes, even the fittest people you know! In this episode, I’m diving into the common causes of bloating, why it’s completely normal, and how you can manage it in a healthy way.

I also tackle the unrealistic beauty standards that make so many people obsess over having a flat belly, even though that’s not a true indicator of health or fitness. Instead of chasing an unrealistic ideal, I’ll help you shift your focus to real health markers like resting heart rate, blood pressure, and strength.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

🔹 The most common causes of bloating (and how to reduce them)

🔹 Why bloating doesn’t mean you’re unhealthy or doing something wrong

🔹 How social media and beauty standards distort our perception of what’s “normal”

🔹 Simple, effective strategies to relieve bloating, including:

  • ✅ Staying hydrated
  • ✅ Moving your body
  • ✅ Managing fiber intake
  • ✅ Understanding food sensitivities & gut health

🔹 Why a fit body doesn’t have to mean a flat belly—and why that’s okay!

In this episode, I'm sharing 5 ways to alleviate back pain by strengthening your core and improving your posture. Poor posture and weak core muscles can lead to common injuries such as disc problems and muscle strains, especially as you get older. But you can reduce the risk of these things by doing core-strengthening exercises like:

  • Spinal stability (planks, bird dogs, dead bugs, & balance training)
  • Spinal flexion & extension (cat-cows, crunches, supermans)
  • Thoracic rotation (t-spine rotation, woodchops, twist crunches)
  • Hip extension & glute-strengthening exercises (bridges, kickbacks, hip thrusts)

In addition to exercising the muscles around your spine, it's also important to be aware of your posture throughout the day. Maintaining an active lifestyle can also improve your core strength and posture. For more detailed workout plans and exercise tutorials, check out my website jaydigains.com, and my YouTube channel.

In this episode, I talk about what to expect when you enter into a bulk phase in your fitness.

Bulk phases are periods of time when you focus on building muscle by eating a calorie surplus (i.e., more than their maintenance level of calories). In combination with an exercise plan focused on hypertrophy, bulk periods can maximize muscle growth within a relatively short period of time (as opposed to eating a maintenance or deficit amount of calories every day).

Many people, however, are reluctant to try doing a bulk phase out of fear that it will undo the progress that they’ve made in their fat loss journey. In this episode, I give some tips for bulking in a way that minimizes fat storage, allowing you to put as much of the extra energy you’re eating toward muscle gains as possible.

In this episode, we’re talking all about how to fuel your gains before you train.

What you eat before exercising significantly impacts your performance and energy levels during your workouts. On the one hand, eating the wrong thing before you train (or too close to the start of your workout) can leave you feeling sluggish and nauseated while you exercise. On the other hand, not eating at all can lead to low energy, underperformance, and even dizziness or increased risk of passing out (not good 🙅‍♀️).

In this podcast episode, I give some guidelines on what to eat before you train. When deciding what to eat before your workouts, you need to consider the timing of your meal relative to your workout:

  • If you are eating 2 hours or more before a workout, eat a normal meal following the healthy plate model. This should include a balanced mix of vegetables, lean protein, and whole grains.
  • For meals within the two-hour to 30-minute window before a workout, prioritize easily digestible carbohydrates and a moderate amount of lean protein (10-25 grams).
  • If you’re eating within the 30-minute window before your workout, keep it to easily digestible carbohydrates (like fruit or gummy snacks) and avoid fat and too much protein

Also be sure to drink plenty of water before your workouts to give your body the hydration it needs to perform its best.

In this episode, I give some tips for navigating a stage of your fitness journey called the “recomp.”

A recomp is a period of time when your body both burns fat and builds muscle, changing your body composition. During a recomp, the scale may not show significant changes, which can be mentally challenging for those who are used to tracking progress through weight loss.

It can be easy to assume that you have stopped making progress. But in this episode, I outline nine signs of progress to look for while you’re in a recomp, such as changes in body measurements, clothing fit, muscle definition, stable or fluctuating scale numbers, increased energy, improved workout recovery, visible progress in photos, reduced body fat percentage, and better health markers like resting heart rate and cholesterol levels.

If you’re struggling to see your progress while in a recomp, I also give some tips for keeping yourself motivated in your fitness journey while the scale doesn’t move.

]]>Hey there! 👋 I'm Jayd Harrison (Jaydigains), personal trainer and host of the Coaching Corner podcast. In this episode, I give some tips for navigating a stage of your fitness journey called the “recomp.”

A recomp is a period of time when your body both burns fat and builds muscle, changing your body composition. During a recomp, the scale may not show significant changes, which can be mentally challenging for those who are used to tracking progress through weight loss.

It can be easy to assume that you have stopped making progress. But in this episode, I outline nine signs of progress to look for while you’re in a recomp, such as changes in body measurements, clothing fit, muscle definition, stable or fluctuating scale numbers, increased energy, improved workout recovery, visible progress in photos, reduced body fat percentage, and better health markers like resting heart rate and cholesterol levels.

If you’re struggling to see your progress while in a recomp, I also give some tips for keeping yourself motivated in your fitness journey while the scale doesn’t move.

In this episode, I talk about whether or not going on a cleanse or detox might be right for your body.

To burn fat and get healthy, the most important thing to do is to nourish your body through consistent, healthy eating habits. Short term extreme diets often lead to temporary weight loss due to water loss and dehydration, which can ultimately harm your metabolism and overall health. Instead of taking drastic measures like not eating for a week, I advocate for making gradual, sustainable changes to daily food choices to support long-term fat loss and health goals.

The key is to balance enjoyable foods within a generally healthy diet, avoiding the mentality of deprivation.

In this episode, I give 9 tips for relieving tight, stiff muscles.

Muscle tightness is a common issue that can be caused by various factors like exercise, stress, poor posture, and inactivity. In this podcast, I discuss effective strategies to relieve muscle tightness. Key recommendations include prioritizing a proper warm-up with moderate-intensity cardio and dynamic stretches, using self-myofascial release techniques like foam rolling and lacrosse balls, staying hydrated, maintaining a nutritious diet, incorporating movement throughout the day, ensuring adequate rest and sleep, and utilizing heat or cold therapy. Additionally, seeking professional help for massage or assisted stretching and addressing the root causes of muscle tightness (such as poor posture or exercise technique) are also super important.

Build These Healthy Habits!Hey there! 👋 I'm Jayd Harrison (Jaydigains), personal trainer and host of the Coaching Corner podcast. In this episode, I'm sharing tips for how to improve your health and get in shape without even stepping foot in the gym.

Living a fit lifestyle is all about building healthy habits, one by one into your life. Start with simple, manageable habits that are easy to add, like drinking more water to ensure proper hydration, using a journal or app to become more aware of your eating habits, or increasing your daily activity by setting step or movement goals. If you want to start working out at home, focus on building core strength and doing stretches to improve your posture and flexibility.

These foundational habits will make it easier to transition to more structured workouts and dietary plans in the future.

In this episode, I'm sharing tips for people who hate to do cardio.

It's important to maintaining health of your cardiovascular system (i.e., the heart and lungs) because it helps prevent common illnesses like heart disease and high blood pressure. Doing cardio as part of your workout routine is a great way to improve your cardiovascular system. For people who are trying to burn fat, it can be a great way to burn extra calories. In the episode I share a few options for people who find steady state cardio to be boring, including cozy cardio, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), and circuit training.

I'm Jayd Harrison (@Jaydigains), a personal trainer and wellness coach. I created this podcast to share helpful tips to help you make gains in your fitness journey 💪

It’s normal to struggle with motivation to work out. In this episode, I talk all about how to handle periods of low motivation in your fitness journey. Many people start their fitness journey with the aim of losing weight or achieving a specific physique, but this mindset often leads to unsustainable habits and yo-yo dieting. I advocate for building a fitness lifestyle that includes consistent healthy habits (like daily physical activity, eating vegetables, and consuming enough protein). These foundational habits not only help in achieving initial fitness goals but also in maintaining them over the long term.

I also highlight the importance of adapting your fitness routine to stay engaged and to avoid burnout. This includes setting micro-goals, changing workout routines, and focusing on skill development.

Ultimately, the key to sustained fitness is patience, consistency, and viewing it as a lifelong journey rather than a temporary fix.

In this episode, I offer tips for beginners who are starting their fitness journey and for those looking to regain their former fitness levels.

The key to starting (or restarting) your fitness journey is to keep it simple—especially in the beginning. Start by increasing your daily activity, especially if you have a sedentary lifestyle. Set a daily movement goal, such as 10,000 daily steps or 150 weekly exercise minutes. It’s also important to focus on building core strength and stability with activities like Pilates, yoga, and balance training. Flexibility and mobility work are crucial for safe and effective workouts as you get stronger.

(Ep 31)Mythbusting: Will Tracking Your Food Give You an Eating Disorder? (Ep 31)Hey there! 👋 I'm Jayd Harrison (Jaydigains), personal trainer and host of the Coaching Corner podcast. In this episode, I discuss the common misconception that tracking food intake can lead to an eating disorder.

Tracking involves logging what you eat and drink every day either in a food journal or in an app like MyFitnessPal.

This strategy can help you identify your eating habits and become more self-aware. It can also help you to stick to your diet plan to ensure you're eating the right number of calories and macronutrients every day.

Some people find tracking to be a trigger for obsessive behaviors (i.e. eating disorders). As a tool, tracking can be used healthily or unhealthily, depending on your existing relationship with food and with your body.

In this episode, I give some tips for how to tackle a disordered relationship with food and alternative strategies that you can use if you find tracking to be triggering.

In this episode, I discuss how to handle stress and cortisol levels for fitness.

Not all stress is bad stress. Acute stress can be beneficial to help us get up and out of bad situations. But chronic stress can have negative impacts on your health and fitness by suppressing the immune system, impairing cognitive function, and increasing inflammation. All of this can hinder muscle building and recovery from workouts.

In this episode, I suggest a few strategies to identify key stressors in your life and make changes to reduce triggers. These include practicing mindfulness and relaxation techniques, maintaining good boundaries in relationships and work, and prioritizing sleep. There are many options, but it's important to find what works best for your brain to relax and feel regulated.

But that doesn’t mean you have to change your workouts up every week!

Welcome to the Coaching Corner podcast! I'm Jayd Harrison (@Jaydigains), a personal trainer and wellness coach. I created this podcast to share helpful tips to help you make gains in your fitness journey 💪

In this episode, I discuss the importance of introducing novel stimulus to your workout routine to avoid plateauing.

Our bodies are smart machines. They’re highly adaptable and are geared towards making things you do regularly as efficient as possible. This means that your body will spend less energy (i.e. calories) doing things you do often.

So when you keep the same training and exercise routine over an extended period of time (more than 6-12 weeks), your body will start to burn fewer calories during your workouts. You’ll also build less muscle as a result of your workouts than you did at the start of the program. This is bad news if you want to continue to burn fat or make gains!

So to continue making progress, it’s important to keep introducing a novel stimulus in your exercise routine often. Novel stimulus is anything that challenges your muscles to do something they aren’t used to doing. This could involve adding more reps or weight, changing the type of exercise or stance, adjusting rest periods, or adding more training days.

If you don’t introduce a novel stimulus often enough, it’s easy for your body to adapt to your training and hit a plateau (where your body changes very little or not at all for an extended time).

Some people try to avoid hitting a plateau by doing different exercises every time they train, rather than sticking to a training routine. There’s nothing inherently bad about doing this. It can keep you from getting bored in your workouts, and it certainly introduces novel stimulus. However, the downside in this approach is that it can be difficult to track your progress over time without the consistent data that following a 6-12 week training program provides.

I usually keep my personal training clients on a consistent routine of workouts for 6-12 weeks, during which we work on the same exercises. I follow a general rule of two when it comes to progressing their workouts and introducing new challenges in their program: if my client can do the same exercise with the same weight and the same number of reps two sessions in a row, then it’s time to add a novel stimulus. For that, I’ll gradually add more reps or weight to the exercise—this approach is called progressive overload (giving the muscles progressively more volume or resistance over time).

It’s much easier to know when to add more weight or reps by keeping the training program consistent over the course of 6-12 weeks versus always doing random exercises every time you train. Otherwise, you can find yourself always using the same weight and reps on an exercise without realizing it—which can in itself cause a plateau.

Regardless of how often you change your workout routine, it’s important to track your workouts (including what exercises you do, what weight you use, how many reps you do in each set, and how difficult each set was) and take body measurements frequently. This will help you to monitor your progress and identify when something needs to change. Check out my Fitness Journals (available on Amazon) to help you track your progress!

    In this episode, I share tips for avoiding the pitfalls of "dirty bulking," which involves resorting to unhealthy, processed foods to meet high-calorie targets. Instead, I give tips for adding nutrient-dense options (like avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil).

This was a great start to a discussion on body shaming and dealing with people when they give unsolicited feedback about your body. My strategy for dealing with anyone who criticizes your body is to challenge them with questions like “what makes you think that’s an appropriate thing to say?”

    I also highlight the importance of setting boundaries and not allowing others to dictate how your body should look. Value yourself and work on healing unhealthy beliefs about yourself.

    Over-training syndrome occurs when your body cannot keep up with the damage caused by intense workouts, which leads to slower recovery, decreased performance, and a higher risk of injury.

    I cover how to tell when your body needs a deload period by noticing the signs of over-training, which include:

    • recurring aches and pains
    • decreased performance during workouts or competitions
    • feeling unmotivated to train
    • feeling like you need more sleep or rest than usual
    • tightness in the muscles that doesn’t seem to get better
    • an erratic appetite (sometimes you feel super hungry, other times you may have no appetite at all)
    • trouble sleeping (even though you feel tired all the time)

    If you start to notice the signs of overtraining, consider planning a deload period in your training by reducing your workout intensity by 40-50%. You can even take a week off from training altogether (or longer, depending on the severity of your overtraining syndrome, you may need as long as a month to deload. This allows your body to heal and become resensitized to the training stimulus, leading to better gains in the long run.

    In today's episode, I share a conversation I had with my Twitch chat after one of my followers asked "How do I get my friends to go to the gym?"

    No matter your best intentions, it's important to respect others' boundaries and consent.

    I live by the motto "Be responsible for your own gains." This means focusing on your own journey and letting others make decisions for their own health.

    Pressuring people to go to the gym could potentially harm your relationships and also push people away from wanting to get in shape. The best way to influence others is to live a healthy lifestyle and respect their autonomy.

    With that said, in this discussion, we also go over some ways to invite someone to the gym without pressuring them or making them feel bad.

    Despite what many social media fitness influencers say, doing exercises for your abs, obliques, and other core muscles does nothing for burning fat in the belly. It does, however, help you to get a strong core—which is important for doing the kinds of exercises that can help you burn more fat (squats, lunges, deadlifts, etc).

    Burning body fat is all about being in a calorie deficit, where you consume less energy through food than your body spends every day.

    No matter what kinds of exercises you do, if you don’t manage what you eat, you won’t see results in your fat loss.

    Beyond getting into a calorie deficit, some things can help your body burn more visceral fat in the belly, like limiting your sugar intake, eating more protein, and consuming plenty of fiber.

    It’s also super important to exercise smart to burn fat, meaning your weekly training routine includes both cardio and strength training. Cardio will help your body to burn more calories and strength training will help to reduce muscle loss while you’re in a calorie deficit (which will help keep your metabolism fast).

    Don’t fall for the myth that doing a bunch of crunches and planks will reduce your belly fat. Follow the tips in this episode, and you’ll see some measurable progress!

    In this latest bout, I sat down with my doctor to create a plan to help my body fight off illness and bounce back faster. In this episode, I share the plan that we came up with.*

    Personal trainer Jayd Harrison gives tips for getting back into your workout routine after time away to avoid injury and getting sick (again).

    Many people work out way too hard on their first workout back in the gym after being sick or taking time off. In this episode, Jayd spoke with her Twitch chat about how to get back into training in a way that will help, not harm, your body.

    Jayd also talks about why people feel the need to “punish” themselves or “catch up” from time away from the gym—and why that’s not necessary to get back in shape.

    When it comes to reaching your fitness goals, staying consistent over a long time is one of the most important things. Quick-fix diets and intense workout plans might get you fast results--but these results rarely stick in the long term for most people. If you want to burn fat and keep it off for good, you need to change your lifestyle to something you can sustain over the course of many weeks, months, and years.

    In this short episode of the coaching corner podcast, I give 3 main tips for building that consistency. First, I suggest that you get on a schedule. I'm a big fan of time blocking. Each week, I use an appointment calendar to block out my time for my workouts, personal training sessions, and other work. This helps me to stay organized by ensuring that I'm setting time aside for my workouts.

    In addition to getting on a regular schedule, I also recommend getting onto an actual training program. Many people just show up to the gym without a plan and wonder why they never seem to make progress. Getting on a training plan will ensure that your workouts are the most effective for pushing you toward your goals.

    If you struggle to stick to a schedule and training plan, I also recommend working with a personal trainer. Meeting with a personal trainer every week has helped many of my clients to stay consistent and make consistent gains.

    Hey there 👋 I'm personal trainer Jayd Harrison, and in this podcast episode I give tips for starting a home gym for beginners.

    When starting a home gym, I recommend beginning with resistance bands. This versatile type of equipment is relatively inexpensive, takes up very little space, and is great for helping you to develop some foundational strength as a beginner.

    I also recommend getting 2 exercise mats for floor exercises (a thicker exercise mat and a thinner yoga mat).

    Both resistance bands and exercise mats can be easily stored away in a closet or drawer when not in use--which makes them great for smaller home spaces (check out the equipment recommendations list below for links to recommended products).

    If you'd like to work out with weights, I recommend getting a set of adjustable dumbbells--either powerblocks or spin-lock varieties. These take up minimal space and are relatively inexpensive when compared to full sets of individual dumbbells.

    When you're ready to advance your weight training as an intermediate lifter, I recommend investing in a sturdy barbell, plates, and plate collars. These will allow you to progressively overload your exercises using as much as a couple hundred pounds per exercise. At the same time, it's also a good idea to get a sturdy squat rack--which will allow you to practice exercises like the barbell back squats and bench press.

    Some barbell exercises (like squats and bench press) are much easier to do if you have a squat rack or power rack to hold the weight between sets. The Fitness Reality squat rack is a surprisingly inexpensive and good-quality rack that can be ordered from Amazon (check out the equipment recommendations list below). Make sure to also get a set of J Hooks to hold the weight between your sets.

    Equipment Recommendations:*

    Mats:


    Adjustable Dumbbells


    Bench


    Barbell & Plates
