How many time have you said, "I'm not feeling motivated to workout." Or "I'm just not feeling it today." The truth is that expecting motivation to reach a peak level to push you over the edge into taking action is never going to happen. Motivation is fleeting and willpower is finite. Relying on these things will always fail unless you do the strategies that I outline for you in this episode.

Focus on the time and tension components of your exercise technique for huge size and strength gains. "Your Muscles Don't Count But They Can Tell Time." This is something I say to my clients a lot to help them understand that while counting reps is important, it's how much time to take to do each rep that counts. Don't believe me? Excellent. I want you to do the same thing that I have all my clients do when they don't immediately buy into this idea. I want you to do two sets of 10 reps of push ups. On first set, I want you to perform those 10 reps taking 2 seconds to lower and 2 seconds to push back up. On the second set, I want you to take 5 seconds to lower and 5 seconds to push back up. Which one was harder? The second set was, right? But why? Well, the fist set you took 40 seconds to complete those 10 reps. On your second set, you took 100 seconds to complete 10 reps. That's over twice the amount of time of time that it took to complete the first set. Again, muscles tell time a lot better than they can count. Time Under Tension Time under tension (or TUT for short) is a commonly used term in the strength and conditioning and bodybuilding circles. In short, TUT refers to how long the muscle is under stress during a set. Look around in the gym. You'll see different lifting speeds and different times under tension. Some lifters will be doing their reps as fast and aggressively as possible while others use slow and controlled speeds. Research show that the time that a muscle works and tension (tension = how heavy the weight is) are key factors in determining muscle growth. By putting the muscle under longer bouts of tension, you can cause more muscle breakdown leading to the sleeve-busting muscles that you're working so hard for. Listen to this episode for the practical tips on how to use time under tension training to get the best results!

What used to be safe, is no longer. What's "safe" in today's rapidly changing economy and society, is RISK.

We all know by now that maintaining an active lifestyle should be one of our top priorities in life. Only by taking care of ourselves do we stand a chance of being the kind of person we strive to be on the job, at home with our loved ones, and in our communities. But that doesn't mean it's easy. "I don't have enough time." is the #1 excuse that people give as a reason they don't workout. In this episode of Legendary Life, you'll learn my 7 top strategies to get fit in 30 minutes a day (or less) even if you're super busy.

We've all heard the saying that we shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. And that we shouldn't judge each other solely based on how we dress or groom ourselves. The reality is that we all judge each other all the time based on our visual appearance. In this episode, sociologist Dr. Anna Akbari will talk about how you can increase your personal power and charisma simply by grooming and dressing better. She'll go into the science of why some of our tendency to judge is hardwired in our biology as well as the cultural factors influencing perception. Learn how to take control of your appearance to promote yourself in a successful way.
