Do you have any other advice or resources for lifting and running? (5k up to half marathons, occasionally full marathons) I know you're not a fan of running, which I'm not really either on a daily basis except for the races!28:10 - Tips for people overwhelmed with all the information out there but wants to learn to be a coach?34:45 - Unfiltered opinion of herbalife products?45:20 - Where did you learn/get your knowledge about training?53:00 - If someone had been chronically under eating and comes to you for nutrition and you bring them back to maintenance , how long do you keep them at maintenance calories before your allow them to go into a fat loss phase (calorie deficit).... specifically if this person has weight to lose 15+ lbs----Head over to http://buylegion.com/boomboom enter code boom boom at checkout to save 20%, start earning loyalty points, and supplementing with the top supplement company on the market.Apply for our World Renowned Coaching Program, RIGHT HERE.Join The Tailored Trainer (TCM's Membership Site) to gain full access to daily programming and a private coaching forum for guidance.

It can be a lonely process for your client! So what would you say to a client like that and how do you support them as a coach?17:33 - What are your go-to research sites for training and nutrition?22:45 - What are your favorite books for continuing education in nutrition and exercise science space? Need direction on what to read next and would love your input.28:40 - I have a job that is fairly labor intensive. On an average day I’ll get anywhere from 10,000 to 25,000 steps a day. I have MyFitnessPal app set so that it adjusts my calories each day based on how active I am. My base is set at my BMR which runs around 1500 cals on a day. I literally just stay home and chill. As I get my morning work out in and my daily steps and walking, it will adjust my calories up to around 2400-2800 cals that I should consume if I want to be eating the energy I need to fuel how many calories I’m burning that day.My goal right now is to gain strength and muscle, I am fairy happy with how I look right now and am quite lean naturally. Eating around this 2400-2800 calorie mark seems to be keeping my weight fairly steady or has for the last couple weeks and that’s me only working out 4-5 days a week.My question is, is this a good approach to adjust my calories based on my daily activity? I work shift work so I’m away working in a camp for 2 weeks then home for a week so adjusting my calories I think is necessary for my off week and also to make sure I’m eating enough for what I’m burning. Thoughts?35:45 - I've recently progressed from an under-eating/chronic dieting state for about 9 months (around 1300 cal) to reverse up to a maintenance state (ended at 1900 cal, although I believe my true maintenance is around 2200-2400 cal with a high activity level). I am really interested in the G-Flux topic of "eat more, do more”. What is the best way to periodize my nutrition to get to that G-Flux state? I still have a smaller target of fat loss, but want to be cognizant of the best approach here, which I think is to continue my progression to my true maintenance phase before cutting again.42:35 - I have been training for the past 18 years, I am female, 34 years old and my question is: how should a woman train in PMS? I have an idea and heard some stuff of course, but I am really curious about your thoughts around this topic.50:25 - How would one achieve body recomp at maintenance?57:50 - If you ever produced a product or product line, what would it be? Either personally or with the TCM brand (or both)?
