RNT Fitness Radio

Welcome back to another episode of RNT Fitness Radio, and today I'm joined by another member of the RNT Family, Adam Goff. Adam's an extremely successful entrepreneur in the world of property, and today we discuss why being on your A game physically is so critically important to being on your A game in business. One area that Adam's passionate and very knowledgeable about is his concept of life by design. Back in in December I met up with Adam and we spoke for hours on this subject, and ever since, it's completely changed how I operate on a day to day basis, and how I plan for the future. He's a master of time tracking, prioritising and living the life of your own choosing, so if this is an area you struggle with, you're going to gain a lot of value from this. We also discuss nutrition education, staying in shape while travelling, and how anyone who wants to be a high performer needs to be taking care of themselves both physically and mentally at all times. "You have to see the journey as a marathon, not a sprint" – Adam Goff Timestamps: 3:12 – Being around like-minded people 4:49 – Who is Adam Goff? 5:34 – Adam's early start in business 6:31 – Adam's journey before RNT 12:24 – Why you need to time track 17:09 – Why the scales aren't the best way to judge success 19:12 – The tricks your mind will play 22:41 – The reverse diet 28:03 – Adam's case study 30:17 – How to stay in shape while travelling 37:50 – Adam's love for salad 38:09.- How getting lean has helped Adam as an entrepreneur 42:11 – Why routine is key 45:04 – Life by design and the key concepts 50:09 – Sunday Sanity 52:53 – Goals vs processes 52:14 – Meal prepping 59:51 – What's next for Adam? 1:01:16 – Rapid fire questions Thanks so much for listening!

Welcome back to another episode of RNT Fitness Radio, and today I'm joined by one the members of the RNT family, Pretesh. It all started for Tesh when he was having sporadic bouts of heart rate spikes and high blood pressure that were triggering severe pulsing headaches. Luckily, instead of going with prescribed blood pressure tablets, Tesh decided to take matters in his own hands and reclaim his health through improvements in his body composition. He started his journey by dropping his first 10kg in 6 months, and then upon joining RNT, has proceeded to drop another 20kg in 20 weeks. At the same time, he's also dropped more than 10 inches off his waist, and his doctors and a DEXA scan confirmed he'd obliterated his visceral body fat to practically zero levels! This isn't just life changing, but life extending. In today's podcast, we dive deep into the psychological hurdles of a transformation, social stigmas that make it tougher, and how the physical is a real vehicle to enabling transformation in all areas of your life. This is a no holds barred episode where Tesh lays it all out, and talks about what it's really like to transform not only your body, but your life overall.

This one's deeply personal, and I've been wrestling with the idea of releasing it ever since we recorded it. In the end I decided to go for it, and I hope that the lessons and experiences shared on it will help at least one person listening. We're all human, and we all have our weaknesses. Luckily, my greatest weakness is my biggest passion. I love what I do, and I love what we're creating at RNT. The problem is, this love means I work at an intensity that's relentless, and I regularly flirt with burnout and exhaustion. I've always thought I was indestructible, and that I could always ride the fine line between high performance and burnout. But then in February this year, I had my wake up call. The long awaited wake up call. I'll explain what happened in the podcast today, but what's it taught me is that if I want help as many people experience the life changing benefits of what focusing on the physical with RNT can do, I have to help and take care of myself first. I've been running at 150mph for a long long time, and I needed an MOT. The universe told me to slow down, and life was teaching me an important lesson. I need to learn to tame the type A personality within me, and I know many of you with similar tendencies will understand where I'm coming from here. I still train hard, eat well and stay in good shape year round. But where I go wrong is burning the candle at both ends, forgetting boundaries of working hours and environments, and losing myself in my mission. It's a paradox that I've been struggling with for a while, and I've now seen the dangers of continuing to ride the fine line. A couple of weeks ago I was in Sorrento with Nathan, and in an effort to slow down, we decided to go to a local traditional Italian restaurant for some homemade pasta and meatballs, and a bottle of local Sorrento wine. When we got back to our hotel, we decided to pour another glass and hit record on an episode, and see where it takes us. We both ended up sharing our Quarterly Insights for the first part of the year, both of which you can find in today's show notes, while reflecting upon many of our struggles and areas we're working on in our lives. It's been an interesting few months, and it's really highlighted to me that as much as I love helping people with RNT, I really need to protect the driver of the car, myself. I hope you enjoy today's episode, and if you can relate to what we discuss today, we'd love for you to reach out.

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! "I achieved more in 16 weeks than I did in 10 years" – Nimalan Chandran Timestamps: 1:20 – How Nimalan's training is going so far 4:39 – The traffic light system 7:27 – Who is Nimalan Chandran? 10:08 – What Nimalan learnt from RNT 17:04– Nimalan's struggle pre RNT 20:40– How Nimalan got results while travelling 30:01 – Training with his wife Sonayna 33:17 – Nimalan's mindset during muscle building 35:13- Embracing the fluff 44:00 – Muscle building for women 47:59 – Nimalan's true passion 50:15 – The lean principles 58:02 – What does the future hold for Nimalan? 59:21 – Rapid fire questions Thanks so much for listening!

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.
