The Daniel Yores Podcast

Almost a year into the lockdowns and your hand is still in the cookie jar?Listen, I know it's tough to resist. The snacks are just so delicious, and there's nothing else to do. There's nowhere to go anyways, so what's the big deal?Well, if you've gained weight throughout this despite eating mostly healthy meals and keeping up with your at-home workouts, the snacking is likely to blame.I'm not saying never eat junk food again - believe me, I'm the last person that would tell you that. But, if we want to stop, or reverse the weight gain, we have to make some different choices.I think when changing any habit it's important to understand why we're doing the thing in the first place. So I dive into a few of the reasons that I think many of us are snacking so much. Hopefully this helps you think about why you're doing it, and then we can work on changing that.I then give my best advice to be able to stop or at least limit the unwanted snacking.In a list they are: not having them in the house, portioning them into a bowl/plate before eating, and eating more at your meal times.I'll give some actionable tips to successfully be able to implement these and hopefully gain some better control.However, at the end of the day, this all just really comes down to self-discipline. It's not what you want to hear, but you just really need to put the cookie down.Arnold Put the Cookie Down Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HrnWC8zBcE I would greatly appreciate any comments, questions or feedback.

In this episode I offer some direction and practical advice as to how you should be thinking about your workouts.Should you do full body workouts? Legs only? Abs only? Booty HIIT? Should you train for strength, endurance, hypertrophy? What do those things even mean?I aim to give an overview of all of these topics.It's great that you've decided that you're going to start strength training, but figuring out how to actually go about it can be a challenge.Sure, there are infinite free follow along workout videos available, and classes that will get you moving. If you're looking to start working on some goals more specific to you, then we have to think strategically about it.This can be a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be overly complicated.I explain how I personally think about building a workout program for myself and for my clients, and how you can easily apply these same rules to yourself.I will also explain all of the ways we can alter exercise programs to adapt to working out at home.I even went on a few rants about some of the silly things I see online that are well-intentioned, but ultimately are incomplete.I'm happy that you're moving, but let's just be a little smarter about our approach.This can be an extremely deep topic, so I hope to have covered the basics and answered a few questions - or at least have been able to steer you in the right direction to be able to ask better questions.I would greatly appreciate any comments, questions or feedback.

In this first episode I wanted to tell the story of how I got to where I am today as a personal trainer and strength coach.I'm still young and have lots to learn, but the passion for fitness and health has been building my whole life.From being exposed to all kinds of sports as a kid, many injuries, coaching soccer to toddlers, making ALL the mistakes in the gym, breaking my body and putting it back together again, educating myself however I was able to, dropping out of school and finally meshing all of that together - this is the story of why I do what I do.My aim is for you to get a better understanding of the experiences that led me to this point. This will help build the framework of everything that is to come with this podcast. A lifetime of experiences has led me to share what I've learned in hopes of helping you also become a better human through fitness.I would greatly appreciate any comments, questions or feedback. If you could share this with a friend, that would mean the world to me. If you enjoy this podcast, I would be extremely grateful if you left a short review on iTunes.
