Strength Of Body And Mind

Do you ever find yourself feeling like you should be doing some cardio in order to try and lose weight?Do you often think things like:"I need to go use the treadmill""I need to go for a run""I need to hit the elliptical"For the sole purpose of trying to lose weight?What if I told you that body transformation is actually achieved by doing LESS or even ZERO cardio? Would you believe me? The reality is, cardio has its benefits, but they do NOT include losing body fat or achieving transformation. In this episode we pick apart the reasons why this type of exercise isn't essential for body fat loss, and in fact it can be (and often is) harmful to your results. You won't want to miss this one. If you have someone in your life that needs to hear this make sure you send it their way.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: h

Do you have a track record of bouncing from diet to diet, pill to pill, or popular workout to popular workout?Do you find yourself following fads periodically year after year?If you do, understand that jumping into a fad isn't abnormal...it's actually quite normal. But what else is normal is that results are EXTREMELY rare with fad diets, fad programs, and fad workouts. The only people that tend to get results stick to the plan 100% with zero wavering, and also do more on top of it. Those people were going to be successful anyway. A fad diet is built around one thing: speed. It's not built around results...it's built around trying to get you to achieve something MASSIVE in little to no time.That is complete BULLSHIT, and it's a trap.In this episode, Gordon walks you through the various types of bear traps out there that are designed to keep you stuck and always chasing the shiny object. Gordon also talks about real transformation, what's involved and how to best get started. You won't want to miss this one. I

If you're like most people, when you think of weight loss you immediately picture a routine that involves you stepping on the scale weekly or even daily.We 100% agree that the scale can be a useful tool in this process...however, it's one of MANY tools you will use, and it's actually one of the least important. Yes, you read that correctly...the scale that you step on every morning to give you your weight is one of the LEAST IMPORTANT tools you will use in your weight loss transformation journey.In this episode, Gordon and Scott walk you through a different, and far more important scale that you MUST be aware of if you actually want to be PERMANENTLY successful in weight loss and fitness transformation. Spoiler: It's not a body weight scale, it's not a body fat scale, it's not a BMI scale.You won't want to miss this one.

In this episode Gordon sits down with Shanna Krueger, a client of PermaFit and all around amazing woman. Look, the reality is: life is challenging. We all are faced with challenges each and every day. Health, fitness and weight are absolutely a part of this for ALL of us. We always tell our clients at PermaFit that when they show up Decisive, Coachable and Resourceful then they WILL achieve the transformation they are looking for and keep the results permanently. One person who exhibits these 3 traits in a massive way is Shanna.You will hear in this episode just what it's like to try EVERYTHING out there, and have life send blow after blow in the form of surgeries, being diagnosed with a rare disease, lung cancer, as well as raising a family while working...You will also hear what Shanna learned about what really creates success in this area. SPOILER: she did NOT cut her carbs, intermittent fast, do cardio EVER, take a bunch of supplements, or live in the gym 7 days a week.You will NOT want to miss this one!C

Ever hear things like..."just one more rep""just keep going""just one more mile"There is a major issue with approaching your health and fitness transformation through the lens of "just keep going". Most people aren't aware of this, and they believe that if they just work out more often that they will see weight loss and body transformation results.But how many people do you know that go to the gym or work out all the time and never actually seem to look any different? Maybe they're:-Still overweight-Not fit-Not getting stronger-Not getting leanerBut they think they're doing themselves a favor so they continue working out regularly with that "just keep going" mentality. In this episode we're going to break into the two paths that spiral out from the mentality of "Just keep going". Which one are you following?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.Co

This is even more of an issue when it comes to creating PERMANENT transformation...what people THINK they need to do versus what they ACTUALLY need to do are almost never the same.In this episode, Gordon dives into 3 big beliefs that most people have, and why they are not true. He also goes into what you can do INSTEAD of continuing with those dated, untrue beliefs to start actually getting results that truly last.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/gordon.light/Connect with me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gordon.a.light Join our FREE Facebook Group - The Art of Weight Loss: facebook.com/groups/artofweightloss Check out our free training video showing you how w

Do you find that you struggle to hit consistent success with your health and fitness? Do you find that some days you're on fire, and other days you have NOTHING in the tank?Here's one of the things that's going on...you are conditioned to listen to the critic within you, and no one else. This is something ALL of us deal with in some capacity, but those who actually become successful and lose the weight and keep the transformation permanently are also able to shift their receptors to filter out the negative, non-supportive bullshit, and only receive the positive, forward-thinking inputs.This is an episode you do NOT want to miss.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. Join our FREE Facebook Group - The Art of Weight Loss: facebook.com/groups/artofweightloss Check out our free training video showing you how we achieve massive (and perm

Too often we hear things like "you must eat clean" and "I eat clean, therefore I am healthy".Or maybe you've found yourself saying this: "I don't eat bad, I eat all clean food" while you're wondering why you're overweight and can't seem to get it under control.That last part was me in 2007 - I get it.Here's the cool thing...eating clean doesn't actually solve much of anything when it comes to weight loss, body transformation and becoming fit. It can help...a little. But when it comes to fat loss and body transformation, there's a LOT more to that strategy, and "eating clean" doesn't really cut it.In this episode, Gordon explains WHY this is the case, and what you can do to fix the issue and start getting into a body you love immediately.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. Join our FREE Facebook Group - The Art of Weight Loss: facebook

Gordon also goes over specifically what needs to happen both nutritionally and in workouts/training in order to do a few things:1) Get the body fat off2) Get that lean, defined look3) Keep those results permanently without supplements, pills or other nonsenseThis was exported from a Facebook live using a whiteboard - to catch the full video join the FREE Facebook group HERE.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. Join our FREE Facebook Group - The Art of Weight Loss: facebook.com/groups/artofweightloss Check out our free training video showing you how we achieve massive (and permanent) weight loss and fitness results without excessive dieting and unnecessarily brutal workouts -

Sometimes it seems like everyone around you is doing so much better than you.They're losing weight easier, they seem happier, and life seems to be flowing better for them in every area.Why is this? Especially in that one area of health, fitness and weight loss. Ever ask yourself "How does everyone else seem to be able to do it but ME?!"This sometimes makes us wonder... "what am I missing?"..."I've worked so hard but made no progress, what's the secret?".Sound familiar?In this episode we get into IT and what that looks like.

In this episode, we discuss the difference between wanting to have the body of your dreams permanently, and NEEDING to have the body of your dreams permanently. What we've found over the years is that when someone has ultimately decided that this is a genuine NEED for them, then they show up BIG in 3 key areas:-Decisive-Coachable-CommittedWhen you carry these 3 traits and you absolutely need to finally shed the weight, get into the body of your dreams and do so in a way that's ACTUALLY sustainable and realistic, then prepare to have success because those are the barrier to entry. After that it's just strategy, mindset and accountability that carry you across the finish line because ACTION will follow once the commitment is established.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. Join our FREE Facebook Group - The Art of Weight Loss: facebook.com/groups/artofweightloss Check out our free t

In this episode, Gordon and Scott bring you a tale of two women that desperately want the body of their dreams, and try as they might, they never get there. (FYI this applies to men as well, with subtle differences).Unfortunately for these two women we're going to describe, they have no shortage of work ethic, determination, or grit. However, their underlying kryptonite breaks them down from within, leaving them disappointed, upset, frustrated, and feeling like a fraction of who they KNOW they are. 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. Join our FREE Facebook Group - The Art of Weight Loss: facebook.com/groups/artofweightloss Check out our free training video showing you how we achieve massive (and permanent) weight loss and fitness results without excessive dieting and unnecessarily brutal workouts - https://permafitforlife.com/video Connect with Gordon-Facebook: @gordon.

The overwhelming majority of fitness companies, trainers & coaches talk about getting "real results FAST" and how they can get someone "shredded in 12 weeks"...but how much of that is permanent?What will happen to that person after 18 weeks, or 24 weeks? Will they still have their results? Or will they have to buckle down and repeat that same diet plan and workout plan to get those results again?That is not a healthy way to live, nor is it sustainable.And it certainly isn't permanent.In this session, join PERMAFIT co-founders Gordon & Scott as we break down what exactly sustainable nutrition is, and why 99% of people who struggle with weight today will struggle for the rest of their life if they don't take the time to learn this now and adopt it into their lifestyle.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.Join our FREE Facebook Group - The Art of Weight Loss: facebook.com/groups/artofweightlo
