• 602: How To Build A Beach Body & Keep it year round
    May 30 2024

    DM “SUMMER READY” to IG @ ColossusFit to finally get rid of that unwanted stomach fat.

    Summary of episode:

    In this episode we cover or top tips to still make progress through summer. Activity likely won’t be an issue, but nutrition will be. So many people work insanely hard leading up to summer and lose their progress. We want to avoid that.

    Listed points:

    1- Portion control.

    • You can still enjoy what others are having but the easiest thing to control is the portion size.

    2- Enjoy your favourite foods as a variation of the true thing.

    • Ex- tub of ben and Jerry's for tub of halo top.

    3- Keep a safety net of your calories to enjoy

    4- Be okay with saying no.

    • It’s hard for some people to face, but you don’t need to eat everything in front of you.

    5- Minimize the snaking.

    • The snacking calories will add up insanely fast, and likely not even satisty you. You’ll want even more.
    • At bbq’s, camping, outdoor activities, there will likely be a ton of snacks

    6- Remember to have a goal

    • Most people set goals leading up to summer, but forget about having one once summer comes around
    • Having a specific goal will keep you dialed in and accountable during though tougher moments

  • 600: How To Fit More Protein In Your Day With Limited Calories
    May 23 2024

    Summary of episode:

    Listed points:

    Protein is 4 calories per gram. So even with a “high” protein goal like mine of 200 grams of protein, that’s only 800 calories.

    Zooming out can be helpful here, same with a 1 hour workout only being 4% of your total day.

    Zoom out, break it down into goals and snacks (I.E 5 Meals 40g / ish each)

    Tips:

    -Start by getting ahead

    -Have high protein foods at home readily available

    -Pre-logging

    -Change your attitude - accept you may have to make some sacrifices

    -Start with the protein which is more satisfying / filling/ then move into other foods

    -Josh's top protein options

    -Kyle's top protein options

  • 596: 7 Top Tips To Achieve A High Level Transformation
    May 9 2024

    In todays episode we give you seven tips to achieve a high level transformation as shared from our clients.

    ➢Follow us on instagram @colossusfit
    ➢Apply to get your Polished Physique: https://colossusfitness.com/

    1- Might be odd but on May 11th I will hit 1 year sober after being a alcoholic. This journey that I am on being healthy and putting all my energy on being the best version of myself. Pushing to eat right and lift gives me a bigger purpose than to come home and drink. My life in all aspects have changed. - Marc

    2- Not unique but pre-logging my food really helps. Not that I 100% stick to the pre logged food each day, but it gives my day framework and then I know how I can add or adjust. - Ellen

    3- Once clothes became too big for me, immediately get new ones and donate the old ones. By doing so, it was a mental thing for me knowing I won’t ever need to wear those big clothes ever again, so there’s no reason to keep them. If I did keep them, then it would be “okay” if I gained weight again because at least I had clothes to wear. (It worked in my brain haha) -Tayler

    4- Accountability. When I had to report probably my worst week in the whole process to coach Lauren, I was super embarrassed (like she was my mom 😂 ) and it made me never want to have a week like that again. Been trying to kill it since! - Ruth

    5- For me I’ve stayed open minded and not set expectations for my transformation as far as what my physique will look like. I have just watched my progress and just seeing what my body is becoming. (Hope that makes sense) 🤣 - Rachel‌

    6- Having a boss that is supportive of my fitness journey! I used to have a supervisor who knew I preferred working out at 3 AM, so I would show to work early with the intent to leave early, only to get caught up in work keeping me there until late. He gave me the OK to come to work a few hours later than the rest of the team, because he wanted to make sure I still got my AM lift in but then had a few hours at home to decompress/handle life things before showing up for work. - Kaitlynne

    7- As someone who has always been very active in sports as well as my former career, and working out for the past 20+ years, but never felt I saw the results that I should have for that amount of exercise, I can 100% say that nutrition is everything.

    If you’re more focused on your workouts than your nutrition, you will never meet your goals. Getting the guidance on the nutrition aspect has been paramount to my success.

    The most beneficial nutritional related things for me have been tracking calories, understanding caloric deficit/surplus in relation to my actual maintenance cals, learning about reverse dieting, finding the leanest sources of protein, increasing fibre intake, finding low or 0 calorie substitutes for many food items (especially sauces), keeping unhealthy food out of the household, not drinking too many empty calories, and not eating to the point of being over-full just because the food tastes so good. - Jonathan
