In this podcast I tell you what NOT to do during this Xmas period. Having been that guy that used the festive time as an excuse to condone laziness and overconsumption, I can tell you there is no happiness in that. December is 31 days, lets say you let loose on 6 of those days with food and booze, thats still 25 days to balance that out. You can still have a great time at Xmas without gaining 10-14lbs of unwanted fat. I hope this gives you some insights and perspective. As always, I appreciate y...

In this podcast I talk about the amount of men putting training on the back burner because they have too much going on. How I get messages from a lot of men saying they need to put training on hold for now and will pick up when things settle down. I talk about men who have popped up inside my online communities that are sleep deprived, working too hard, burnt out and with no energy to exercise. Something needs to give. I've been there before and realised I had the power to change it and did. You...

In this short podcast I delve deep into mindset and talk about why some people continually fail. Having been a fitness trainer for 13 years I have encountered all sorts of people. Some, you give them the tools to lose weight, they follow it and the weight stays off. Others lose weight initially then revert back to type, gaining back all of the weight they previously had lost. Now why is that? It has everything to do with their subconscious programming and their own image internal image of themse...

In this short podcast I stress the importance of not only having goals but 'writing them down'. This has been proven to increase the chance of achieving your goal by up to 42%. Writing down a goal allows you to look at it daily and visualise what it will feel like to achieve it. It is one of the most ignored, yet vital, things that someone should do if they really want to achieve a goal. Get it down on paper and get to work! I really hope this encourages someone to set big goals and get them wri...

In this short podcast I address the 'Should of, would of, could of' mentality I see in some guys. The ones that say 'I could of done that but I've got too many niggles' or 'If I was 10 years younger I would of done that'. There is growing evidence to suggest that more men in their 40s and 50s are competing in things like Iron Man. I want you to be that guy that makes his health and fitness a priority, addresses niggles and old injuries and comes up with a plan to go and achieve a massive goal de...

In this short podcast I talk about repetition and habits. I also talk about 'consistency' and 'moderation' which is NOT SEXY and doesn't sell but is the key to getting successful fat loss. I also discuss the 'long game' and why slow and steady really does win the race. I hope you get some value from this. Be sure to leave a comment. Keep Truckin Coach Tregs

In this episode I talk about why we sabotage our goals and go into the psychology behind it. Having been guilty of this massively in the past and still facing the battle most days I talk from experience. Having C.B.T when my kids were very young and I felt overwhelmed really helped me to get a deeper understanding of this too. If you feel like you are always starting, getting so far then sabotaging your goals by overeating and consuming too much alcohol then hopefully this could give you some in...

He recently did a 30 day challenge eating only Mcdonalds in which he lost 16lbs and got in great shape (he was already pretty lean but lost over a stone). He'd been interviewed here there and everywhere with a mix of good and bad press so I thought why not get him on for a chat. We discuss his reasons for doing this challenge and what he wanted to prove. We also talk in depth about the ...

In this episode with just myself, I discuss some of the mistakes I have made during my 13 years in the industry.

The story is that he advised her to quit her chemotherapy and use his methods which include taking 'baking soda' from a tea-spoon to change the PH of the body so that the disease could not live in the supposed 'alkaline' state. This method failed ...
