In this episode, we dive deep into the difference between just "winging it" at the gym versus following a structured training plan.

That approach? Well, it's a straight path to inconsistent workouts, dwindling motivation, and stalled progress. The remedy? Structure. When you have a proper plan in place, not only does it cut the intimidation factor of the gym, but it also boosts confidence, accountability, and most importantly, progression. Whether it's amping up your strength, flexibility, or overall coordination, a structured approach ensures you’re always moving forward in a measurable way.</p><p>But how do you add that crucial structure? We're laying it all out, from weight training frequency to the nitty-gritty details of sets, reps, and equipment choices. And here's a spoiler: it’s not about the quantity but the quality and consistency of your sessions.

We address the common notion of not having enough time and debunk the myth that weight loss requires spending hours in the gym or endless hours in the kitchen.</p><p>We begin by acknowledging that we, too, have fallen into the trap of using the "I don't have time" line. However, the good news is that we all have the time necessary to prioritise our goals, even amidst our busy lives filled with work, family, and other commitments.</p><p>Drawing from our personal experiences, we discuss how we navigated busy periods in our lives, including the busiest time in both our lives - right now.</p><p>Key concepts covered in this episode include:</p><p>- Honest Assessment of non-negotiables: We emphasise the importance of identifying and defining your non-negotiables, just as we discussed in Season 4 of the podcast. Without clear non-negotiables, you become vulnerable to distractions, inconsistency, and shiny object syndrome.</p><p>- Decision-Making and Prioritisation: We delve into the concept of effective and honest decision-making, highlighting that every decision you make involves cutting off other avenues. </p><p>- Identifying and Minimising Time Wasters: We emphasise the need to recognise common time-wasting activities, such as excessive social media use and procrastination. By creating awareness, you can implement strategies to minimise or eliminate these distractions, like setting limits on screen time or using productivity apps.</p><p>- Creating a Schedule and Sticking to It: We suggest using a planner or digital calendar to map out daily and weekly schedules. By blocking dedicated time slots for exercise, meal prep, grocery shopping, and self-care activities, you can ensure you prioritise your most essential tasks.</p><p>- Importance of Planning and Meal Preparation: As the saying goes, "Plan and prepare or prepare to fail" when it comes to weight loss. Allocating specific time each week for meal planning and preparation, and utilising batch cooking or meal prepping techniques, can save time and support healthy eating throughout the week whilst minimising the number of food-related decisions you're making each day.</p><p>Whether you feel like you just can't make it work amidst a busy schedule or seeking effective time management strategies, this episode provides valuable insights and practical tips to help you prioritise and focus on the things that really matter to you.</p><p>As we mentioned in the episode, we strongly recommend you listen to Season 4 "What are your non-negotiables?" - <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/5ohWwHLM473nZnU2vBHR2f?si=4e0a881b88074369" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> to listen.</p><p>How we can help you -</p><p><br></p><p><strong>•&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://academy.theweightlosspodcast.com/recipes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Calories Not Included</strong></a>&nbsp;–&nbsp;87 fast, flexible and family-friendly recipes for people who are sick of weighing their lettuce.</p><p>These recipes have been hand-picked by us out of our coaching program for busy people who want to look, feel and function better...without living by a set of rules and without the diet drama.</p><p>You receive the book via instant digital download/email, and the book itself is ready to be printed for those who prefer their copies physical!</p><p><br></p><p>•&nbsp;<a href="https://academy.theweightlosspodcast.com/classroom" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>The Weight Loss Podcast Classroom</strong></a>&nbsp;–&nbsp;Our structured, affordable 12-week introductory education and support program proven to help busy people like you know exactly where to start, how to get on track and stay on track.</p><p>Get started on a proven step-by-step path to taking control over your emotional eating, building healthy and sustainable habits that give you energy every day, improve your strength, fitness, body shape and confidence — without counting calories, following some silly unsustainable diet, dodgy supplements, expensive medications or feeling like you have to exercise for 300 hours per week.</p><p>You will learn more in 12 weeks than you have the past 5-10 years when it comes to exercise, nutrition, habits and real, sustainable healthy change.

When starting out for cardio and also weights would you guys have a pre-workout drink beforehand?</p><br><p>2. Medical help with weight loss like duromine? What are your thoughts about it?</p><br><p>3. I want to add a 3rd day in, but with all my other activities, I'm having trouble finding a spot for it. </p><br><p>I'm concerned adding a 3rd lifting day wouldn't leave any "rest" days, really and I don't want to end up hurting myself. I also don't want to give up any of my sports related activities (playing is my happy place).</p><br><p>Should I not worry so much about adding a 3rd lifting day in? My reason for wanting a 3rd day is to get more practice in and see some better gains in the strength department.</p><br><p>Is this just going to be one of those "you have to make a decision" scenario or is there a clear path you would recommend?</p><br><p>4. What are your thoughts on intermittent fasting?</p><br><p>5. Is there the possibility of y'all selling a cookbook?</p><br><p>6. What would you recommend for increasing weight when there isn't the option to increase by one or two pounds at a time?</p><br><p>7. I work in a busy maternity unit and work shifts. </p><br><p>I do night shifts once or twice a fortnight. Night shifts are a real valley for me I usually only get a hour or so sleep before hand and after for that day. </p><br><p>I also tend to snack on the food people bring in over the night which is usually potato chips, pizza and cake and the next day my zombie day I crave fatty carby foods. </p><br><p>I try to resist but I'm usual exhausted and have no time on the shift so pick at things on the go.  </p><br><p>Any advice you could give to help me better manage this would be greatly appreciated. </p><br><p>8. I tried Creatine and it really made me retain water. Did you have that problem? What am I doing wrong?</p><br><p>9. Loose skin on clients that have lost weight...if they have lost a lot of weight or they are older clients that have lost weight. Not seeing the results besides the loose skin even tho they are putting in the hard work day in day out. They know they have muscle under it, but can’t visually see it. What do you advise them to do?</p><br><p>10. I have been lifting weights for 6 months or so and made huge gains early on mostly due to gaining confidence in what I am doing and better technique.

When starting out for cardio and also weights would you guys have a pre-workout drink beforehand?</p><br><p>2. Medical help with weight loss like duromine? What are your thoughts about it?</p><br><p>3. I want to add a 3rd day in, but with all my other activities, I'm having trouble finding a spot for it. </p><br><p>I'm concerned adding a 3rd lifting day wouldn't leave any "rest" days, really and I don't want to end up hurting myself. I also don't want to give up any of my sports related activities (playing is my happy place).</p><br><p>Should I not worry so much about adding a 3rd lifting day in? My reason for wanting a 3rd day is to get more practice in and see some better gains in the strength department.</p><br><p>Is this just going to be one of those "you have to make a decision" scenario or is there a clear path you would recommend?</p><br><p>4. What are your thoughts on intermittent fasting?</p><br><p>5. Is there the possibility of y'all selling a cookbook?</p><br><p>6. What would you recommend for increasing weight when there isn't the option to increase by one or two pounds at a time?</p><br><p>7. I work in a busy maternity unit and work shifts. </p><br><p>I do night shifts once or twice a fortnight. Night shifts are a real valley for me I usually only get a hour or so sleep before hand and after for that day. </p><br><p>I also tend to snack on the food people bring in over the night which is usually potato chips, pizza and cake and the next day my zombie day I crave fatty carby foods. </p><br><p>I try to resist but I'm usual exhausted and have no time on the shift so pick at things on the go.  </p><br><p>Any advice you could give to help me better manage this would be greatly appreciated. </p><br><p>8. I tried Creatine and it really made me retain water. Did you have that problem? What am I doing wrong?</p><br><p>9. Loose skin on clients that have lost weight...if they have lost a lot of weight or they are older clients that have lost weight. Not seeing the results besides the loose skin even tho they are putting in the hard work day in day out. They know they have muscle under it, but can’t visually see it. What do you advise them to do?</p><br><p>10. I have been lifting weights for 6 months or so and made huge gains early on mostly due to gaining confidence in what I am doing and better technique. My question is, what’s a realistic reasonable increase to expect? I’m looking at this from the perspective of goal setting for the next 6 months so my goals won’t be unrealistic or on the other hand not challenging enough.</p><br><p>11. What are your thoughts on plant-based nutrition/eating?</p><br><p>12. What do you guys think about pre-workouts but also weight loss medications and intermittent fasting?</p><br><p>13. Matt talks about Courtney’s roasted pumpkin a lot, so Courtney- what exactly do you put in it and how long/temp do you roast it?
