But, but, but… I’ve tried everything!
If he's heard it once, he's heard it a thousand times... or, whatever the cliche is. Setting up the rest of season 3 on the Shredducation podcast, personal trainer, fitness expert and host Ryan Waters gives an overview of all the things to consider when looking at adopting a new and healthy lifestyle. Next time, we start the deep dive, so get ready, it's time to level up, put in the work, get fit and get shredded up.
Break’s over — getting back to work and time to level up
The last year has been hard on everyone. Ryan Waters is back in studio urging everyone to get back to work in the kitchens and gyms. The right attitude, a solid meal plan and a commitment to a healthy lifestyle is just what we need to get back on track.
Who’s holding you accountable?
Ryan's back in the saddle! Whether we're focused on your diet, your workout, your business or anything else in life, we all need a partner to hold us accountable to meeting our goals. Former Major League Baseball player Les Norman joins Ryan in the studio for conversation on accountability and how they're working together.
We puked; but then we cleaned it up
There's no denying it. COVID-world is hard on all of us. We're divided on everything, stress is high and sometimes you just need to let it all out. Today is Ryan's turn. His opening rant may be controversial and you may not agree with him. That's OK. Because when we get through it together we get to the really good stuff. Puking's OK, just remember to clean it up afterward and find your way to healthy living.
Stop beating yourself up; you can get back on track and reach those goals
Ryan Waters offers straight talk about the need to stop the negative self-talk and allowing yourself to get back on track and put in the work to reach your goals by sticking to a meal plan and committing to your workouts. It's not easy, but you can do it. And you'll thank yourself later.
The bagels and swiss cheese episode
Don't be shy, folks. Hit play and get ready for a frank and real conversation about pelvic health. Physical therapist Amanda Fisher, of Empowering Your Pelvis, drops by the studio to talk about this often avoided aspect of healthy living.
Get moving’ & get fit
Ryan brings friend and fellow trainer Aaron Hodges into the studio talk about training styles his path to becoming a trainer, motivator and coach.
New year, new name, same mission
Here we go! Ryan Waters is back for his second season preaching the gospel of a healthy lifestyle. If you're looking for motivation, tips and insights from experts around the country, Shredducation is the podcast you're looking for.
New year; new habits
In the final episode of 2019, Ryan and Aaron lay out a plan for helping all of us focus on instilling new habits for healthy living during 2020.
2020 Vision: Some motivation as you look to the new year
Ryan's MIA this week, but Aaron and Jody bring in a special guest, Bo Flores, to talk about finding inspiration and motivation.
Overcoming fears & finding motivation for ourselves and those around us
The Shredd crew is joined by special guest Les Norman. Norman, a former MLB player, radio host and motivational speaker, will join the gang on stage this week for its live Shredducation event in Kansas City.
Give yourself permission
This week, we're giving thanks, we're saying goodbye to a community champion and we're talking about those moments that inspired change. What's all of this have in common? They're all about finding a way for you to give yourself to be confident in your choice to make those needed changes.
Ain’t nothin’ gonna break my stride; ain’t nothin’ gonna slow me down…
The producer took the gang's words to heart this week. Slick Nick had a rough day in the studio and it seemed some leftover Halloween poltergeists were wreaking havoc on the equipment. But just like Ryan, Aaron and Jody preach it for fitness, we stayed consistent with our process and focused on a positive outcome. Here's a few (albeit shortened) tips on sticking with your plan.
The power of giving back
Ryan and Jody sit down with Nick — for his podcast — to talk about community and the power that comes from giving back.
You want to know why we do this?
During the past 10 months, Ryan and the gang have talked a lot about motivation and mind set for a healthy lifestyle. But have you ever wondered what motivates these guys? Do you want to know what inspires them to stay on mission? Here's a little glimpse into what drives Ryan, Aaron and Jody.
A raw conversation
Kate from Zen Donkey Farms drops by the studio to talk with the gang about the power and benefits of raw juices.
Break the dang cycle, folks
I really wanted to find a way to work some Ratt lyrics into this summary, but it just didn't work. If you're of a certain age, I hope you're at least forced to now sing along. Anyway, Ryan and the crew are talking about weight cycling and finding your way to make a lasting lifestyle change so you're not constantly putting back what you've lost.
She saw the sign, it opened up her mind
She saw the sign. Life is demanding without understanding... Ryan and the Shredd crew welcome Jody Andrews to the studio. Andrews, an IFBB pro and(we think) our first international listening audience, stopped by to talk about how recognizing signs from her body and her surroundings has led her to lifestyle changes and a better path to happiness.
Y’all get on the Happiness Wagon!
Ryan's grabbed the reins and he's ready to hit the trail. Sorry, I got a little too happy after recording this episode... Happiness. Ryan and the Shredd Podcast crew have spent hours talking about nutrition, strength-training and cardio. But that other main ingredient to living a healthy lifestyle is learning who you are and allowing you to frame your life in a context that lets you be happy.
