RNT Fitness Radio

Welcome back to another episode of RNT Fitness Radio. Today I'm joined by one of our RNT coaches Indi Rajpal, who's been on an incredible journey over the years, and overcome many struggles to get to where he is now. His reason for getting into the industry is extremely strong, which I'll let him explain in today's episode. What strikes me about Indi is he'll never give up, and will fight to the end. At 21 he was hit by a bus that left him with a brain haemorrhage and being told he had 2 days to live. Five years later he was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma which led to a year of chemotherapy, and going up to between 120 to 130kg bodyweight. After having lost the equivalent of another human, Indi's on a mission now to help as many of people overcome their own struggles and limiting beliefs to live a life of fulfilment on your own terms. A truly incredible episode, and I can't wait for you to hear Indi's story.

Welcome back to another episode of RNT Fitness Radio, and today I'm joined here live with Mr Kmak to talk about the different stages of change you will go through during your transformation. It's a little different to the phases we talk about in the RNT journey, and instead, this discussion is based on the transtheoretical model, which is a psychological theory from the 80s that's been used in many fields to help the process of altering problematic behaviour patterns such as smoking, eating junk or a sedentary lifestyle. Through this, we also discuss our own personal experiences of letting go of perceptions, comparisons and other limiting beliefs that have been guilty of taking us down spirals of paralysis by analysis and spinning our wheels. So, without further ado, let's dive in Do you want to be entertained, or do you want to see results? – Team RNT Timestamps: 1:03- New beard sponsorship 5:23 – Pre-contemplation stage 7:24 – Contemplation stage 10:13 – Preparation stage 15:04 – Action stage 18:15 – Maintenance stage 22:43 – Termination stage 26:57 – Akash's fake progress 30:37 – Supplement hopping 36:24 – Akash's 'No carb with a cheat day' diet 39:11 – How heavy will you be when you're lean 42:35 – Discussing body dysmorphia 44:50 – The influence of social media on comparison syndrome 48:52 – The environment 52:04 – Rapid fire questions Thanks so much for listening!

Today we're joined by one the members of the RNT Family, Minal Patel, who's achieved an incredible transformation as a mother of two in her 40s juggling a busy work, family and social life. I really enjoyed talking to Minal here and hearing her incredible insights on creating generational health, and her ways of inspiring her growing children to be more aware of their health and lifestyle. This segment alone will be a game changer for any of you parents listening in here. We also talk about her struggles before her RNT journey, and how through a focus on strength, muscle building and further evolving goals, she's managed to break out of the dieting cycle to get into the shape of her life, for life.

This is a very important episode of RNT Fitness Radio as we discuss the Five Phases of the RNT Transformation Journey. Each of these phases are an integral part of every RNTer's Transformation Journey, and we dive into each phase separately and uncover the lifestyle solutions that can help you maximise each one, which are: Phase 1 – Clean the Palate, Phase 2 – Process, Phase 3, Consolidation, Phase 4 – Investment and Phase 5 – Reward. Where we spend most of our time, and go really deep into, is the Consolidation phase. We talk about the dangers that many of you will face here, and how you need to be prepared for it ahead of time in order to consolidate your gains properly. If you are currently undergoing your Transformation Journey, about to or are thinking about it, this is essential listening.

Welcome back to another episode of RNT Fitness Radio, where this week we're joined by Paul Carter, who's the first guest to come back on after first appearing over a year ago on episode 18. After an email exchange over Christmas about how much life has changed for Paul since our last chat, we thought it'd be cool to record another episode for you guys. We start by talking about the slow process of natural muscle gain and why building a foundation is so critical if you want to be lean year round later, and still hold decent size. The meat of the podcast then delves into the different valleys of life we go through, the importance of understanding and developing yourself to achieve emotional equilibrium in relationships. This then leads to an interesting discussion on different attachment theories, and how your attachment style impacts the relationships you hold in life. As always Paul doesn't hold back here, and dives really deep into some of life's most interesting conversations. ''All of your adversity is an opportunity'' – Paul Carter Timestamps: 1:11 – Paul's training right now 4:34 – Why training hard is so critical 8:50 – Why everyone should go through a fluffy phase 15:27 – Paul's advice for the 30/40years olds. 24:47 – Intermitting fasting 29:22 – Paul's journey from a year ago 32:46 – Achieving equilibrium in a relationship 37:12 – Different types of attachment 59:19 – The importance of self-awareness 1:08:48 – How dating has changed 1:11:37 – What will happen to social media in 10 years' time 1:21:13 – How to get over heart-break. 1:29:19 – Paul's version of success 1:43:00 – Rapid fire questions for Paul Thanks so much for listening!

Welcome back to another episode of RNT Fitness Radio. Today I'm joined by one of our RNT clients, Nimalan, who's been working with us for the past year and gone through what I like to call the ideal physique journey so far. After a dieting phase where he, in his own words, made more progress in 16 weeks than in 10 years, he's shifted gears to a lengthy muscle building where it's now all about PRs on the bar, and PRs on the plate. Having never been lean in the past, we talk about struggles of embracing the fluff, and why for the right person, it can be such an important phase to go through to end up with the physique you're really after. Through all of this, he travels almost every single week for work all over the country, and he spends time talking about the critical mindset to adopt if you want to make progress in your health and fitness when living out of a suitcase. Nimalan's getting married this month, and his soon to be wife Sonayna is also on her own RNT journey, and we talk about strength training and muscle building for women, which will definitely interest many of our female listeners today. We then finish off by talking about Nimalan's biggest passion in life – the methodology of lean, a business strategy first formulated by Toyota, and a strategy he's coined as the best way to run your business. Hope you enjoy this one!

Welcome back to another episode of RNT Fitness Radio. Today I'm joined by the owner of Time Zillionaire, Matt Sandrini, who's an expert in helping you do more in less time, focus on what's important, and take everything in your life to the next level. We talk about how to get out of living the 25 hours day, becoming clear on your one thing, and the best productivity tips that works with his most successful clients. One of the best takeaways from this podcast was the idea of an accountability letter, and it's worth listening to this podcast just for this golden nugget.

On today's Valentine's day special of #RNTFitnessRadio, I'm joined by the whole team at RNT. This episode came from popular demand in the RNT family group after a long thread about juggling dating with getting into the shape of your life, so we thought we'd come together and discuss this for the single guys & girls out there! Ben also takes the mic and talks about how things might be a little different when you're married. That said, one thing we've always enjoyed as coaches is training couples, and seeing them transform together. The level of accountability and support it creates can be a real game changer, and it's not unusual to see couples achieve incredible transformations when training together. We then talk about where all are in our own goals, while getting an insight into Indi's journey over the years battling through a number of different struggles, and still coming out standing on top. A truly inspiring coach, and I can't wait to share his own candid interview very soon.

Welcome back to another episode of RNT Fitness Radio. Today I'm joined by one of our clients based out in Toronto, Tim Johnson, who's undergone an incredible transformation to drop 50lbs and get into the shape of his life. It's been a journey full of highs and lows for Tim, and in this episode, we go right into the early beginnings, his initial struggles and the why behind his transformation. What was really cool to hear about, and what will be very valuable to many of you listening, are the routines, systems and rituals he built around his life to set himself up for a higher chance of success. We also touch on the self-limitations placed around the vegetarian diet, why it's important to put yourself first and why it's necessary to constantly audit your social circles around you. We finish by talking about one of Tim's biggest passion: his fiction writing and being a published author with nearly a million reads on Wattpad, it was cool hearing his thoughts on writing, the way he writes, and how he gets a lot of writing done during cardio! I hope you enjoy this one!

Welcome back to another episode of RNT Fitness Radio. On today's episode I'm joined by fellow RNT coach Nathan, and we start by discussing his initial experiences of becoming a full time NOMAD, and his recent exploration into journaling. I also picked up journaling recently when in Thailand, and after seeing the benefits of this style of writing, I encouraged Nathan to do the same when he started travelling. His insights into journaling, and the methods he's been using to improve his writing will be interesting for many of you. We then dive into discussing our triphasic approach to body transformations, why you might need to clean the pallet, the art of buffering around social occasions, and why you need to have precursors in place to make habit building and stacking as simple and automatic as possible. This one's a great episode for those of you after long term strategies to get into shape, and then maintain it for life.
