More people die from too many Calories, rather than too few. More people suffer from too little exercise, rather than too much. In a world with GrubHub and Netflix, your human instincts may wreck your health. If you want to lose fat and build muscle in the 21st century, you should ignore your biology and look to the past. Question:   “How did we get here?”   Today, we look to evolution to discover how simple losing weight and gaining strength can be. But simple does not mean easy. To unpack this human health conundrum, I am joined by my good friend Abel.   Abel James is a New York Times Bestselling Author, Musician, and Online Creator. He hosts the the award-winning Fat-Burning Man Show, rated as Apple’s #1 Health Podcast in 8 countries with over 50 million downloads and 2000+ 5-star reviews.

Can you burn fat and build muscle in your 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond? Short answer: yes. Long answer: listen to Tony. This fitness chat features a Q-&-A with my 67-year-old client Tony Meola. We answered questions asked by members of my private Facebook group including:   Why start now? Is it ever too late to get started?   What is sustainable for training in different decades of life?   How do you balance leg work with weakening knees?   How do you cope with physical conditions such as arthritis?   How have opportunities changed for gay men during your lifetime?   Tony Meola is a 67-year-old fitness client of mine who is crushing it.

Proper fitness programs can help you build muscle, burn fat, and improve performance. They can also help children growing with autism. It’s true.   Today’s guest is personal trainer Gary Martinez. He focuses on helping special populations in overcoming their physical and mental limitations. Gary also has a beautiful daughter with autism.   “Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a condition in which there are neurodevelopmental delays which affect social interactions. This impact leads to behaviors that are repetitive; along with self-talk, isolation, and not wanting to be included in communication. People with ASD tend to create their own safe environment with activities of interest.” - Gary Martinez Jr.   Find Gary’s Autistm STAR Program here: AutismSTAR.net   Find Gary online: Instagram.com/Gary_Martinez_Jr Facebook TikTok YouTube   I’m a normal dude, personal trainer, and dog dad from Pittsburgh, PA.

The Reverse Diet focuses on *strategically* eating more. In today’s conversation, we explain what it is, who it’s for, how it’s done, and what to expect.

*Fitness Forever Whatever is no longer in production, but is archived on this podcast feed. For more information, visit ChaseBarron.com/podcast. Weight loss is simple. Eat less. Move more. It's as simple as CICO: Calories-IN vs Calories-OUT. This common-sense approach works for everybody at first, but it doesn't work forever. Because someday, you'll be running like a racehorse and eating like a bluebird. That's not healthy. Metabolic adaptation can work for you or against you. My good friend Ravi Teja Dhanalakota is experiencing this issue firsthand. Today, Ravi and I talk about how *Reverse Dieting can get him out of this fitness rut. Together, we create a game-plan for the rest of 2021. By the end of the year, Ravi can build muscle and burn fat, while eating more and moving less. (*Reverse Dieting: gradually increasing your calorie intake over a period of time in order to boost your metabolism.)   Guest Ravi Teja Dhanalakota, now in his late-20s, grew up in India. He moved to the USA to finish his education and to pursue the American Dream. You can find Ravi in my private Facebook group linked below in the show-notes (2).   Links mentioned in today’s episode: My first interview with Ravi from 04/06/2021   I’m a normal dude, personal trainer, and dog dad from Pittsburgh, PA.

What began as a 30 day challenge has now become a lifestyle. The benefits of this daily exercise practice go far beyond physical results. It’s not just about improving your health and fitness. It's not just about building muscle or burning body fat. It's not just about the burpees. In this conversation, Dave goes deep on the mental benefits of his burpee regimen.

Simple, yet chaotic. You want to look better than ever, but you also want to let loose more than ever. If you’re like me, you’ve always struggled to get lean and stay fit while enjoying yourself and having fun on the weekends. Especially during the summer months. Especially when there’s plenty of parties to attend. And especially when there's plenty of delicious foods and alcoholic drinks at every party. I get it. The struggle is real.  After years of personal training (and personal experience), I’ve created a list of healthy habits to get you through long weekends and late nights. This list features my top 10 strategies for dialing in your nutrition, fitness, and mindset while still having fun. 10 Tips for Staying Healthy During Weekends, Vacations, Parties, + Travels: Focus on having a good week, rather than a perfect day. Plan a Workout Schedule that You Can Stick To. Consistency > Quantity. Walk it out. Get your daily steps in to burn off extra Calories. Drink smart. Track your alcohol intake and set a weekly drink limit. Let go of control. You can't always track Calories, but you can eat like an adult. Optimize your plate with the 3 P's: increase Protein, decrease Processing, increase Plants. Go play! Get excited to move by keeping exercise fun. Eat treats throughout the week to avoid binging on the weekends. Pack smart snacks that are portable, high-Protein, and low-Calorie. Don’t wait for the perfect week to get started. Start today! In this unscripted episode, you’ll hear more detail and real-world examples of how I actually apply these tips with myself and my clients.   All links mentioned in today's episode listed below: My YouTube Video of the Ultimate Summer/Weekend Fitness Survival Guide My YouTube Video on Warming Up My High-Protein Nutella Recipe My YouTube Video on Protein Options   I’m a personal trainer, content creator, and dog dad from Pittsburgh, PA.

Before studying real research and becoming a Certified Personal Trainer, I was preaching the gospel of alternative health.   “Skip breakfast. Avoid carbs. Drink butter coffee. Go against the scientific consensus.” It’s punk rock for health fanatics. Meanwhile, most of my friends were perfectly healthy, and my morning routine was taking way too long... plus I was getting hangry! (Could’ve used a Snickers. Tehehe.)    On today’s #Unscripted episode of the podcast, I share a bit of my story. Specifically, how I came to terms with some simple truths about fitness. This journey can be simple. It won’t be easy, but at least let it be simple. Here's how.   I’m a personal trainer, content creator, and dog dad from Pittsburgh, PA.
