Fitness Behavior

On this episode I introduce 'Bevan's Baby Steps for Movement'. The Baby Steps form the foundation of my commonsense advice on movement/exercise, and are the starting point for anyone ready to change their life from an unhealthy place to one where they are healthy. Bevan's Baby Steps for Movement are: Step 1: Learn how to get out the door.  Step 2: Find a movement you love doing. Step 3: Find the right ‘exercise’ world for you. Step 4: At first set beginner goals. Step 5: Learn how to challenge yourself with movement. Step 6: Live with the perspective that 'your life is better when you have movement it in'. Step 7: Always look to growth with exercise/movement.

With the Australian Cricket Team being caught ball tampering recently, sporting cheats has been a big topic of conversation.

Do you ever find yourself thinking 'here I am again' when you have failed at trying to create change in your life? For many people they experience this over and over again which teaches them that they can't trust themselves, that change is not possible.  In this episode I talk about this idea and introduce a way where you can build trust in your life, so you can believe in yourself in the areas where you want to grow and actually create the change you desire.

If you worry about your health and aren't addressing the real areas you need to be working on in your life this show is for you.  First of all I address how protecting yourself from the judgement of others may actually enable you to avoid the real work you need to be doing on yourself. From there I talk about people who are healthy in their behaviours but they live in doubt and worry about their health. This is actually creating an unhealthy person so it's an area that needs to be worked on.  Feel free to share the show with your world.

On this show I dig deep into two different topics. First of all I talk about how you should trust yourself when you are consistently using good tools in your life.
