The Dial Mentality: Revisited.  I want to help you implement four simple steps that I use with regularity as it pertains to improving the different pillars of my health - stress management, sleep performance, exercise and nutritional habits.  Are you familiar with the dial mentality and how it can drastically transform your ability to make progress in your health over the long-run?  I'll be honest - this is ONLY for those of you interested in long-term change.  So if you're into quick-fixes, this won't be for you.  However, real results await...

Ever smacked your head on the desk in front of you in the middle of the afternoon because you were so tired you couldn't keep your eyes open?  Yeah, me neither... My time in Corporate America taught me several things about toughing it through the sedentary exhaustion that sweeps over you late in the day (ironic, right, that you get tired from just SITTING THERE).  I wanted to share a couple of the best I've heard over the past several years - several that I still use to this day.  For more, check out www.LegacyManLife.com or hit me up at CoachWeber@LegacyManLife.com.

Did you know that being lonely and isolated literally affects you at the cellular level?  It causes INFLAMMATION and breaks down your IMMUNE SYSTEM.  I remember the first time I found that out - it blew my mind!!! Don't think that social support, building a strong community, and payign it forward doesn't affect your health - it's all connected and there's a lot of research to prove it.  Check out today's episode if you're interested in learning more about what concepts such as "each one teach one" could possibly do to take your health to the next level.  For more, check-out www.LegacyManLife.com or hit me up at coachweber@legacymanlife.com.

My wife has been studying Motivation Interviewing and practicing it daily since she began her journey with our Partner, Precision Nutrition.  They are our certifying nutrition coaching partner - but more importantly - they have opened up a whole new world of change psychology to us.  This is where we first began to dig into our passion of helping people with long-term change.  We knew before that point that there was something wrong with the way "typicaly" health and fitness professionals went about their coaching... But until we came across them (and dove in headfirst), we couldn't quite put our finger on a solution.  It has been an incredible journey - and I wanted to share a little bit of a broad overview of what, exactly, Motivational Interviewing is, and more importantly, how it can help you get to where you want to be.

Dads everywhere - I get it - you're exhausted. Me too. Heck, I've got a 2 year old and a 10-week old.  I'm working about 65 hours a week.  Things are rough right now.  Did you know, though, that you could have more energy throughout your day with the CURRENT amount of sleep you're getting?  Furthermore, did you know that the way you think about sleep... COULD be the VITAL BEHAVIOR that completely changes and reverses the trajectory of your health?  When it comes to time-efficient strategies, improving your sleep might be the best thing you ever focused on.  Listen in to today's episode to check-out what it would look like to completely reframe your view on sleep.  For more, go check-out www.LegacyManLife.com or hit me up at coachweber@legacymanlife.com

There are a couple issues with the way you're currently thinking about your health. In today's episode, I walk through the different reasons why you ignoring your health for so long is a tragedy. The fact that you're here and working to improve it? This is HUGE. This is KEY.  And I want you to understand moving forward just what your health actually means to those around you.  It's a really big deal and it's time we stopped ignoring it.

Okay, so it's January. The end of January. So that means a lot of you have most likely fallen off your New Year's Resolutions you made just a few weeks back.  I don't really set New Year's Resolutions - and there are plenty of reasons why.  But, like anything good - I've compacted what my thoughts are as a Fitness Professional who has seen countless people walk through them (and most of them fail) and distilled them into the Top 5 Reasons Why Setting A New Year's Resolution Is a Terrible Idea.  If you're looking for more goodness on health, fitness and being a dad and Christian too - check out www.LegacyManLife.com or hit me up at CoachWeber@LegacyManLife.com.

I've sat in front of a lot of people over the past several years and talked about health, fitness, and change.  It's almost kinda weird that I'm not sick of it yet - because to be honest, I've heard a lot of the same things over and over again.  I can almost tell someone what, exactly, they're feeling better than they can even describe themselves.  Long story short? The top 3 things I've noticed over the course of thousands of consultations might surprise you.

I care about your marriage relationship - mostly because I've seen SO MANY parallels between growing your relationship and growing in your health and fitness journey.  There's ONE question you ought to ask your wife every week... But the catch is? It's usually pretty scary to hear the answer.  And worse yet, you probably already know the solutions you could be taking action on already.  Listen in to today's episode to discover how only the bravest men ask their wife this ONE question - and how you can actually use this question to also identify a practical spot to begin in your health and fitness journey.  For more, check out www.LegacyManLife.com or hit me up and coachweber@legacymanlife.com.

Hey dads! I've distilled all my wisdom into TWO THINGS.  And in today's episode, I talk about what those two things are.  May sound simple, but they go as deep as you'll take them.  Remember the key here is TENSION and the ability to hold these things simultaneously within your heart and mind!  For more on health and fitness, a Christ-centered approach to the fitness industry and to get more information relevant to busy dad-life, go check-out www.LegacyManLife.com or hit me up at coachweber@legacymanlife.com.

It's about time we step-up and begin to change the conversation surrounding children.  In today's episode, I uncover several myths regarding children and talk about how we can begin to identify these hidden lies so that we can renew our minds and become the fathers and men we've been called to be.  For more on Christ-centered fitness and health, fatherhood and real change / transformation, visit www.LegacyManLife.com or email me at coachweber@legacymanlife.com.

I worte an article awhile back talking about being in the fitness and health industry as a Christian - can you be a dedicated, Jesus-loving Christian and still be a fitness coach and business owner?  I wanted to share the six things I've learned from my own journey - maybe you can apply them to your own life?  Just know this - you ABSOLUTELY can and should integrate the two.  In fact, it's impossible to separate them. Check out www.LegacyManLife.com for more.

It's about time we recognize and admit that we live our lives (and make our decisions) for the most part with our emotional brains.  So how do we connect our logical, rational brain with our goals and behaviors?  In today's episode I discuss the metaphor of The Rider, The Elephant and The Path and discuss the four ways we can begin to make better decisions and ultimately lower our stress levels by interrupting our psychological process by way of physiological interruption.  It's going to help you make better decisions!

Okay - so we've talked about stress identification and how to begin to bring self-awareness into the area of good and bad stress into your life.  So how do we actually take steps towards improving our stress levels?  In today's episode, I talk about two simple strategies that can overhaul your stress levels over time.  Simple and yet profound - it's the Legacy Man Life way!

There's a 100% chance that stress is impacting your health and fitness journey.  But how on earth are we to go about reclaiming control of our stress?  In today's episode, I discuss how we ought to take our total stress-load into account when we set goals, but also about how to begin to characterize what kinds of stress we ought to keep around, and what kinds of stress we need to eliminate.  For more, check out www.LegacyManLife.com or hit me up at coachweber@legacymanlife.com.

Too many guys (myself included) wear their lack of sleep as a badge of honor.  Don't get me wrong - As I write this on only 4.5 hours of sleep, I'm acutely aware of my own struggles with resting enough.  We're dads - we want to sacrifice sleep if that's what it takes to be the best family man in the world, right?  It's important that improved REST, though, is a big part of our journey.  Listen in to today's episode to hear about how rest can jump-start us physiologically, psychologically, and impact every part of our lives.  For more check-out www.LegacyManLife.com or email me at coachweber@legacymanlife.com.
