RNT Fitness Radio

In this episode of #RNTFitnessRadio we pull the pin and ask: what really matters in the realm of body transformation? Is it 80% nutrition, is it all about training, do steps count? We answer the question to: when life gets busy, what actually produces your results. This is for those who are en route to getting into shape and for those deeply investing in muscle growth, where the ratios, percentages and priorities shift. We discuss how to eat, train and live when life gets busy, if improving your body is a priority.    "The 80/20 rule is incredible!

Maria came to us over a year ago fed up with feeling like she was always dieting.   With a history of diabetes in the family, and more people around her battling with their weight, she didn't want to risk reaching 40 only to discover everything inside of her was failing. She wanted to make changes to her life, and most importantly, make changes in a way that's sustainable for her for years to come. She wanted to transform while gaining an education. And a year later, she's got into the shape of her life, stayed there for a while, and is loving learning more about nutrition, mindset and lifestyle everyday. On this episode of RNT Fitness, I’m joined by Maria to discuss her journey. It’s a truly remarkable story, and you’ll hear from Maria’s emotions just how deep this goes, and how much she’s harnessed the power of the physical as the vehicle!

On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I’m joined by Julia Scoville, who as a busy mother and entrepreneur, has totally transformed her mind, body and life to be in the shape of her life, for life. She’s lost over 20kg, and in her own words, looks better than on her wedding day! The biggest lesson for her on this journey was that she was finally able to put herself first, leveraging some of the RNT principles of decision fatigue, meal prep and having non-negotiables in place. This is an awesome story of a woman who decided to take back control, regain focus, and unleash high performance.  “The way to get the best version of yourself is to invest in it.” - Julia Scoville   Timestamps:   00:00 – Intro 00:15 – Julia as a Mum 04:05 – What caused her to gain weight 07:45 – Changes after her trigger moments 10:05 – How she overcame challenges with time 12:45 – Onboarding her family 16:20 – Challenges along her journey 21:15 – How she maintained her new image 24:50 – Myths busted in her journey 26:30 – Realistic lifestyle solutions 30:22 – Happiness from changes 34:15 – Julia as a High Performer 35:42 – Tips to listeners 36:45 – Wrap up Thanks so much for listening!

At the end of 2019, for our January 2020 intake, we ran a 'Golden Ticket' competition, whereby the person who booked the last spot on the cohort, was to win a FREE photoshoot with @skotvisuals during their transformation journey. The winner, Ram, completed his photoshoot earlier this year after dropping nearly 40kg over the course of just over a year, and right through Covid-19, and in this episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I sit down with him to dive deep into this story of achieving this incredible 1st transformation checkpoint.

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. “There’s so much more in training than getting results every week.” - Ivan Gavranic Timestamps:   00:00 – Intro 01:33 – Realities of embracing the fluff 04:00 – Perfecting training intensities 08:05 – Feeling about how you look 11:11 – Feeling comfortable about the process 16:30 – The psychological factor about acceptance 18:35 – Investing more to get more results 22:55 – Training to grow 27:45 – Different training approaches 35:33 – Wrap up Thanks so much for listening!

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.   “There’s so many layers beyond body transformation.” - Akshar Patel Timestamps:     00:00 – Intro 00:15 – Trigger moments since 2013 04:40 – Food as his coping mechanism 06:45 – Pushing to the limits 08:05 – Taking action after the triggers 12:35 – The need to change and starting RNT 15:05 – Taking control of his life as a father 20:10 – Reflection and advise on managing self-care   24:17 – Why behind the why   27:45 – Consistent motivation and lifestyle   30:20 – Akash's “why” and how it evolved   33:40 – Different layers beyond transformations   37:45 – Physical as the vehicle for Akshar   40:00 – Advice to those who are still on the journey 43:10 – Wrap up Thanks so much for listening!
