    144: Unlocking the Compound Effect of Fitness (Member Interview: Oscar)
    Oct 3 2025

    It’s easy to overcomplicate your fitness journey, then get overwhelmed and give up. That’s why taking baby steps and building momentum helps.

    But there’s another way it helps too…

    It helps you unlock the compound effect of fitness, where you grow fitter with each day. That’s what today’s guest, Oscar, did after seeing a picture of himself that betrayed his weight.

    First, he started eating healthier by focusing on portion control. Next, he started walking, then running, then competing in 5k races. Then, he continued to build on his momentum and started strength training, high intensity interval training, and finally yoga.

    Oscar’s results?

    When I ran into Oscar at an Austin event I hosted, he showed me he has only 17% body fat and built almost 100 pounds of lean muscle mass!

    Best part?

    Oscar got started on his fitness journey late in life and still accomplished these feats!

    Here’s what Oscar and I discuss in this episode:

    • Why a desire to enjoy your life helps you commit to your fitness journey

    • The importance of having support structures around your fitness journey (especially in the beginning)

    • How to keep building momentum and improving your health as time ticks on

    And more, including these highlights:

    • Here’s irrefutable proof that you don’t need to be a lifelong athlete to build 100 pounds of lean muscle mass or drop to 17% body fat (1:29)

    • How to unlock the compound effect of fitness by only taking baby steps on your fitness journey (3:18)

    • Why having your spouse invested in fitness is a cheat code for accountability (and how to use the “ease of life” argument to get your partner on board) (6:42)

    • How to learn to listen to your body before suffering a gruesome injury that sets you back (12:45)

    • Why external validation can cause injuries (13:45)

    • How complementing a strength training routine with evening yoga improves your recovery, boosts your mind-muscle connection, and increases your gains (25:47)

    • Why pushing yourself too hard with running devastates your knees (and why Man Flow Yoga is the best solution) (30:22)

    • The “motion is lotion” secret for continuing to exercise even when you’re nagged by aches and pains (31:16)

  • 143: How Your Subconscious Beliefs Keep You Inconsistent with Fitness with Dr. A (Fit Father Project)

    143: How Your Subconscious Beliefs Keep You Inconsistent with Fitness with Dr. A (Fit Father Project)
    Sep 26 2025
    Your mindset can either be your biggest supporter or your biggest detractor of your fitness journey. But sometimes simple mindset shifts don’t work because there’s a deeper, subconscious belief that wrecks your consistency before you even start. Like, for example, imagine you were always picked last in gym class growing up. This creates a subconscious belief that you’re in danger, emotionally, when you exercise. It doesn't matter how much willpower or motivation you have. It’s impossible to become more consistent without addressing this deeper, emotional belief. That’s why I’m excited to invite Dr. Anthony Balduzzi, founder of Fit Father Project and Fit Mother Project, back onto the podcast. Dr. A’s coached over 60,000 families through the emotional traps that keep them inconsistent. In addition to sharing a few strategies to address the heavier, subconscious stuff, we also share some of our favorite practical tips to make being consistent easier. Dr. A and I also reveal: How to address the deeper emotional stuff that’s holding you back Tactical tips for becoming more consistent that you can use for your workout today Hidden traps you fall into that make you inconsistent Other highlights from the show include: 3 insidious ways your subconscious beliefs sabotage your fitness regimen (4:48) How having too much flexibility in your workout regimen backfires and makes it easier to skip exercise (8:43) A few ways to design your visual environment to make it easier to exercise consistently (it might sound weird or too simplistic, but it works) (13:30) The “Press Play” habit building secret that stops your inner voice from undermining your next workout (15:51) Why your subconscious mind might not like exercise (and how to address these underlying consistency saboteurs) (17:40) The scientific explanation behind why late-night exercise can actually worsen your health (19:49) How to neurologically condition your life to become easier as you age instead of harder (24:35) This mindset shift can make every workout you do a healing experience (30:46) How to use shame-based motivation to start a new fitness habit (and why you must switch motivation sources once your started) (37:39) Why doom scrolling on social media during work will make your workout later in the day harder (and sometimes, impossible) (42:33) Listen now! Guest bio: Dr. Anthony Balduzzi is a health and weight loss expert and the founder of Fit Father Project and Fit Mother Project - leading health & weight loss programs for busy men and women over 40. Dr. Balduzzi holds dual degrees in Nutrition & Neuroscience from the University of Pennsylvania, a Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine, and is a former national champion bodybuilder.

  • 142: Why Repetitive Movements Cause Stiffness Too (Member Interview: John C.)

    142: Why Repetitive Movements Cause Stiffness Too (Member Interview: John C.)
    Sep 19 2025

    The vast majority of men with back pain, hip pain, and joint pain sit far too much on a daily basis. While sitting all day terrorizes your joints, there’s another potential cause of stiffness:

    Repetitive and constant movement.

    Today’s guest and Man Flow Yoga Member, John, works the night shift at H-E-B. His job requires him to move constantly (he gets 18,000 steps a day when he’s working). And the constant, repetitive movements have unleashed pain, tightness, and stiffness on his back, hips, and joints.

    John’s big problem (which he didn’t realize until after he joined Man Flow Yoga and dialed in his consistency) was that he never engaged his core prior to Man Flow Yoga.

    But now?

    Not only is nearly all his bodily pain gone completely, but he even helps his coworkers eliminate their pain - something he credits to my instructions when doing a Man Flow Yoga workout.

    John’s story proves that moving too much (but in the wrong ways) can also be as bad on your body as not moving at all.

    Here’s what else he shares in this episode:

    • How John motivates himself to workout even though he’s a father of five who works the night shift

    • Why trying other types of yoga (that aren’t Man Flow Yoga) can cause you to injure yourself

    • How community can improve your consistency more than perhaps anything else

    Other highlights from the show include:

    • How moving constantly for work is almost as bad for your back as sitting all day (1:20)

    • Why does Man Flow Yoga consistently outperform other styles of yoga for bodily pains? John explains at (12:07)

    • The absolute best Man Flow Yoga program for moving your body in all the ways you should move your body but don’t (17:54)

    • Simple ways to incorporate your core into daily movements (and how this staves off back pain) (19:19)

    • How being consistent with Man Flow Yoga helps you eliminate pain for your family, friends, and coworkers (34:47)

    Listen now!

    To quote John, “the best piece of advice I have for men who want to be healthier is to join Man Flow Yoga.”

A brief one sided discussion of modern western masculinity. Dean speaks to some of the more common aspect of modern western masculinity and some of the basic pros and cons. I was hoping for a bit more as he is brief but it was a good introduction.

Interesting but brief overview
