Strength Of Body And Mind

Let's pretend for a second you're on a weight loss journey right now.In this pretend scenario (which may be real for you), you're trying to lose weight and it's been an ongoing problem for many years.You've tried diet after diet, pills, workout programs, you name it...no progress, or very little.One day you're talking to a friend or someone in your family about your weight, and they start telling you things like:"You're perfect the way you are.""You're beautiful, don't worry about your weight.""Stop, you're crazy, you have no need to change a thing about yourself."It's easy to hear those things and follow their advice and NOT make any changes. It's easy to give in and say "screw it, I am perfect the way I am."But for a lot of us...we hear these words and deep down we know that we still want to change. And it's not about being "skinny" or fitting into some mold of what's acceptable versus unacceptable...it's about getting into a body that we love that makes us feel amazing while providing us a baseline of heal

Is weight loss hard?Is lifting weights hard?Is understanding nutrition hard?Is following through and showing up for yourself hard?Is working on your mindset to keep it in the right place hard?The answer to all of these is completely dependent on your perspective. For some people, all of these things are "impossible" in their head. For others, these things may be "very difficult". For others, these things may be "hard but doable". In this episode we will dive deep into what actually is "hard", what is "easy" and why YOU can 100% achieve your weight loss goals.

Permanent transformation is achieved by doing multiple things correctly and consistently.Nutrition is one of them. Learning what & how to eat with no restrictions to fit your lifestyle AND get you to your goals and dream body. Working out properly is another one. Learning what, when & how to train your body properly without living in the gym or being a cardio bunny.These two things are essential, no question. But what if I told you that neither of those things really mattered in the long term if you weren't able to do this one other thing?That thing is: creating head space for self care, self love and self respect. That's right.In this episode, Gordon dives deep into why this matters, why it happens in the first place, and exactly what to do to correct it and ensure that you have a lifetime of success in your health, fitness & weight.If you got value out of this in any way, or if you learned something, please share and leave us a rating and review on iTunes.Connect with Gordon and help grow the mi

Training is widely misunderstood in the world. Many people think it's as simple as "go to the gym, pick some exercises and do them" and that will deliver transformational results.No - that's not how it works.Of course I always point out that ANY movement is better than NO movement, but that's similar to comparing "bad" to "worse". Training splits matter, and how you distribute your exercise selection and intensity matters. The words used to describe a strategic and intelligent training split are:-Periodization-Mesocycling-MicrocyclingIf those elements aren't built into your training protocol, or you don't understand them, then I highly recommend you re-think your approach and get some clarity around them. Doing this is how you'll maximize your results and REALLY create that composition change.Connect with Gordon and help grow the mission:Pass this along to that one friend in your life that NEEDS to hear the words. Rate, review and subscribe in iTunes if you got value out of this episode.Connect with me o

When going through any health and fitness journey, you'll always want to have a strategy to ensure you hit your goal. This strategy is usually comprised of nutrition and training/workout protocol. But what if there was a way to take a good strategy, and maximize it's output so that the results occur faster?This is where supplements come in.Throughout the journey, once a strategy is in place, supplements are able to accelerate the results and make the whole process run more efficiently and effectively. The unfortunate thing is most people don't know what supplements they should take, how to take them, and when. In this episode, Gordon walks through some of the most effective supplements that anyone can take for fitness & weight loss as well as overall health and wellness.

Have you ever started off on a weight loss journey before?Of course you have, otherwise you wouldn't be listening to this.When you are kicking off a new workout program or plan...do you feel that bit of excitement to start something new but also have a nagging feeling in the back of your mind that you won't be successful?In this episode, Gordon breaks down why exactly this happens, and what to do about it so you can start actually making consistent forward progress in your journey.And...if done correctly, you'll never look back :-)Connect with Gordon and help grow the mission:Pass this along to that one friend in your life that NEEDS to hear the words. Rate, review and subscribe in iTunes if you got value out of this episode.Connect with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/permafitforlifeConnect with me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gordon.a.light Join our FREE PermaFit Facebook Community: facebook.com/groups/permafitgroup Check out our free case study showing you

Have you ever wondered if you could just learn ONE thing, and that one thing would lead you to a path of fulfillment, happiness and joy around your body, weight and physique?What if I told you there was one major thing standing in your way, and once you learn it, everything will be SO much better, easier and more attainable for you?In this episode, that's exactly what we unpack. In order to create permanent transformation you must know your numbers, at least in the beginning of the process.Moreover, if you are operating blindly without any real focus on the details, you will always struggle because you'll never have clarity on WHY something may have worked (or didn't work).Connect with Gordon and help grow the mission:Pass this along to that one friend in your life that NEEDS to hear the words. Rate, review and subscribe in iTunes if you got value out of this episode.Connect with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/permafitforlifeConnect with me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gord

How many people do you follow online in fitness?How many Instagram celebrities do you get content from daily?How many times are you trying and incorporating new workouts, supplement ideas, or diets from these people?In this episode, Gordon dives into the good, the bad & the ugly when it comes to following too many different people online in fitness. The result is often completely counter to what you might expect. In other words...the more people you follow and get advice, motivation or inspiration from...the worse your results will be.Yes, that's correct.And inside this episode we get deep into the reasons why this happens AND we will go over 7 specific things to consider when following someone in fitness.Connect with Gordon and help grow the mission:Pass this along to that one friend in your life that NEEDS to hear the words. Rate, review and subscribe in iTunes if you got value out of this episode.Connect with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/permafitforlifeConnect with me on Faceboo

Most people claim they want to lose weight, transform their body and keep the results long term.But unfortunately, most people who head down that path don't actually get there. What's the reason?It's the person.They may have the best strategy, a fully customized game plan for their goals, and the most aggressive forms of accountability and support.But if the person doesn't actually want to experience results, then they will subconsciously prevent themselves from making progress and achieving what it is they truly want.In this episode, Gordon takes a deep dive into 4 specific questions that anyone who's looking to change their health and fitness should ask themselves. They helped him lose 85 lbs in 2008 (and keep it off ever since), and are the same questions that are woven into the philosophies and strategies that are behind every single PermaFit success story.

This one was recorded in a moving car, hence the background noise. It doesn't last for the entire episode though ;-)In this episode Gordon dives into the issue of people repeating bad cycles that do not serve them, and do so in short windows of time. Typically these are in 30, 60 or 90 day "sprints".

Have you ever spent money on fitness? Really give this some thought...Shakes, fat burners, pre-workouts, amino supplements, creatine, protein powders, protein bars, apparel, gym memberships, subscriptions, at-home equipment, shoes, bags...the list goes on.None of these things are inherently bad by any means, but NONE of them solve the problem. If you've spent money on these in the past and didn't make any other changes in your life, you probably know what I'm talking about.The reality is...the average person spends $96,000 dollars between ages 18-65 on fitness related purchases, and yet the average person spends 17 minutes per week on intentional exercise and training. The other reality is that 70% of the US is overweight and 40% of the US is obese.It doesn't matter how many of the things I listed above you buy if you don't fix the root cause first, which is what we're all about at PermaFit and why I co-built this company.Give this one a listen, and if it resonated with you please share, subscribe and leave a

Have you ever experienced the weight loss hamster wheel?You get excited about your new weight loss journey...You buy all the healthy groceries and throw away any junk that was lying around...You start a new workout program that you got online...And you grind day in and day out for a while...until you don't. Whether it's burn out, or lack of results, or the grueling process of whatever "plan" you're following, or some other reason...Often times what's missing is a coach, or better yet, a TEAM helping you course-correct and make necessary adjustments to move the needle and ensure that your new reality BECOMES real.

So you're at that point where you know you need to make a change to get the weight off.But this time you know you don't just want to get the weight off in time for that upcoming wedding, or vacation, or trip to the beach...this time you want to get the weight off PERMANENTLY.What's your first course of action?Well...if you're like most people, you'll immediately start planning to cut things out of your daily diet. All the foods you love will be removed because they're "bad" and you can't eat them if you want to see progress.In this episode you'll hear why that is the WRONG approach and will lead to nothing but short term "results" and failure.
