Infinite Potential Podcast

First off apologies for any coughs and sniffs this episode was recorded whilst battling a cold as you will no doubt hear about throughout.

A few of you have asked a bout a pre and post Marathon/Hyrox podcast so here comes your pre episode.

It feels self indulgent but I hope it is helpful and provides you clarity on your goals and confidence that we all battle mentally with you our own demons as we look to improve and chase down new challenges.

So nothing left to do but to do it London I'm coming for you!

We all hear so much about morning and evening routines but do you actually have one? 

Have you given any thought to your bedtime, your total sleep, the quality of your sleep, or how you could sleep better? 

This podcast has some quick wins you can take away and implement with immediate effect. 

Phones down, brain dump, go up to bed earlier and protect your sleep like your parents did when you were younger. 

Please share your routines and if you loved this podcast please share across social media and tag us :)

Welcome to Series 3 of the Infinite Potential Podcast and what a guest we have to kick things off!! Brian Keane is someone I have followed in the Fitness Industry since I entered it and someone I had hoped to line up for the Podcast one day too. 

He is best selling author 2 x over with one of my favourite books of all time being Rewire Your Mindset and I would highly recommend it to everyone. We ended up focussing on the mindset side of things throughout this podcast discussing everything from change, fear and failure, accountability, habits and much more and Brian really has a way with words that means you can feel his energy and passion around all the topics. 

Brian also shares some of his journey from mental health struggles, leaving his teaching job and going all in on fitness and helping others achieve their goals. 

If you take nothing else from this podcast take away the fact that going all in on YOU and your life is the best decision you will ever make!! 

If you wish to find Brian the best place is instagram and everything his does including his awesome podcast The Brian Keane Podcasts is all linked in there! I would highly recommend if you enjoy this podcast that you ensure Brian is in your life and positively effecting you when you use your socials/podcasts or make time to read his books.

This weeks podcast is a recording of a webinar I filmed so you can choose to watch it on you tube or listen via podcast. 

I wanted to talk about the importance of what might seem the small stuff, the stuff that gets overlooked whilst prioritising training, but actually the important roll it can play. 

Stress, sleep, movement and nutrition... plus much much more. 

Another solo show this week talking about the reopening of the gyms and my tips/thoughts on how to approach it. 

With gyms due to reopen next week I wanted to talk through my thoughts on how best to approach returning. 

A few key thoughts were: 

Leave your ego at the door

Harness the enjoyment 

Move well!! (super important)

Think about your recovery and prep and be prepared for muscle soreness as a result of the gym being a novel stimulus once again irrespective of the training you have been able to perform at home. 

The key thing I want you to take away is setting performance based goals, move well and lift for enjoyment over the next few weeks.

Thank you for so much feedback, positivity and support following the latest podcast episode. 

This week I am bringing a requested topic to the table and one that I really think I break down in a clear and concise manor. We are all creatures of habit and we have all had our lives changed in a number of differing ways for over a year now and the thought of normality probably doesn't even make sense right now. 

Take you time, move through the roadmap gear by gear, have conversations, communicate your feelings and if you think you really need help/support then reach out to a support structure. 

The same goes for any goals you may have achieved or want to achieve go forwards, look at the habits/routines that they need, can you balance it whilst enjoying life and decide what you fundamentally want as a person. 

You have more control than you realise!! 

I am the first to encourage people to talk and be open, especially when it comes to their mental health and perhaps if they are struggling. I am the first to suggest it because I've been in that position whereby you feel there is no way out, that you just want peace and I am now thankful everyday that I never acted on my thoughts/plan.

I was fortunate that a break came, the right conversations at the right time, unknown to me saved my life it really is that important and if this podcast leads to someone having one of those conversations then I can only be happy. 

Struggling with your mental health does not make you weak, feeling suicidal is not a feeling that can be ignored, everyone deserves to live life to the fullest and we need to make sure that talking it ok. 

Ask a friend or family member how they are, reach out and talk because you never know who it will help. If you need someone to talk to message me below

Wow! What an Episode.

Terri has an incredible story to tell and for me the beauty lies in her reaction, her decisions and her drive for life following the events that happened to her and her young family. To say she is a strong and inspirational women would be a disservice to Terri. 

So many things can happen to us in life and the important fact that we can control is how we react to them and Terri talks about how she reacted to her 20 month old daughters Cancer diagnosis, losing her home and transitioning into being a single parent. In a year that has had so many of us wondering what next, Terri has qualified as a PT and launched The Positive Movement Project which has already started supporting so many with their Mental-Wellbeing at such a crucial time, and the project is only going to get bigger and better as restrictions lift and its true effects can start reaching people. 

We talk through running, how to support your own mental-wellbeing and much much more. It's honestly one of my favourite conversations so far!!
