RNT Fitness Radio

The number one driver of muscle building is simple: training hard. You can eat in a calorie surplus, use perfect form, and pick the right exercises - all of which are necessary too, but if you don't apply serious intensity, nothing will happen. In fact, without intensity, you'll probably just gain a load of body fat. I know we've spoken about the choice you have at the point you're in the shape of your life - embracing the fluff, or a lifestyle solution. The reality is, you have to earn the right to embrace the fluff, and if that's your choice on the spectrum, this podcast is going to give you the things to consider before choosing this path.

A few months before Akshar started his RNT Journey in May 2020 during a fire drill he had to carry his daughter and puppy down several flights of stairs. He was shocked and surprised that what should have been a routine and simple activity felt so hard. That was the first of the two alarm bells that went off in his head. The second alarm bell was less of a shocker, but the long-term effect on the quality of his life really drove the point home. During park dates with his then 1-year-old daughter, he was barely able to keep up with her as she explored. He was self-conscious when he noticed that other fathers were able to keep going while he simply could not. That became the trigger for Akshar to start a remarkable journey which saw him drop 70lbs, and most importantly, gain the energy, strength, and vitality to be the best possible father and husband for his family. Akshar transformed his body and life, and is using the physical as the vehicle, and in this podcast, he discusses just how far he's come. Be sure to check out his case study linked in the show notes too.

On this week's episode of RNT Fitness Radio, we discuss one of the biggest problems holding people back from making the progress they want: their relationships. Without fail, every single week we'll hear from our members citing a spouse, partner, or friend as the cause of the muck that is holding them back. It can be debilitating and a massive drain on your progress if you don't fix it, which is why on this episode we discuss the different dynamics to pay attention to, and most importantly, how to solve the problem. There's a big call to action and challenge for you at the end of this episode, which I hope you take seriously and take action on!
