E.58 Being Your Best Self and Not Comparing Yourself To Others with Angus Warburton

This week we are joined by Angus Warburton who is a fitness coach, podcast host and author of the book "Are You Really Living?".

In this episode, we discuss his journey to where he is today in building his fitness career and why he chose this path in life. Angus is part of the Warburtons family and therefore could have followed in his Fathers' footsteps and gone into the family business. However, fitness had such an impact on Angus's life, it started out as an escape, a focus and a goal but turned into a passion where he wanted others to feel the positive effects of fitness in the way that he did.

Angus has now been in the fitness industry for 5 years and is a firm believer in not only the physical benefits that come with exercise but also the lifestyle and mental benefits too.

This episode digs deep into a lot of hot topics that we are confronted with on a regular basis, although we touch on the importance of fitness and diet we also discuss the effect social media has had on society, how we live in a comparison culture where we are constantly comparing ourselves to the top 1% of society which creates unrealistic expectations that leads to a cycle of self-loathing and a lot of self-criticism.

Angus also shares his decision to not go to University and the benefit this has had on where he is today. Although University is fantastic for careers in professions such as Law and Medicine, it shouldn't be expected of everyone and Angus firmly believes his decision to not go has helped him hugely to where he is today.

The other topics we discuss are:

• Angus's childhood and early days
• His journey to fitness
• Growing a platform on social media
• How exercise can become obsessive
• Steroids and the negative effect they have on you
• Persistence and motivation
• Diet, Weight loss and balance
• Sleep
• University
• His podcast
