John and the crew break down why systems matter more than motivation, how meal prep and accountability partners remove decision fatigue, and why building the right environment beats relying on willpower. From budgeting food to training with friends, it’s a real-world conversation about making consistency easier instead of trying harder.FOLLOW @xeelafitness ON INSTAGRAM, TIKTOK & YOUTUBE!

Joe and Gretta’s two-week check shows the scale can jump even when you’re doing it right, so they break down short-term weight swings (glycogen, sodium, inflammation, micro-tears, even creatine) and double down on not weighing daily. There’s real-life proof that moving more helps pain (Gretta’s sciatica), a candid chat about finding a real “why” and getting bloodwork, app updates (adjustable macros coming), and a live cash-call to a UK listener.FOLLOW @xeelafitness ON INSTAGRAM, TIKTOK & YOUTUBE!

John doubles down on sustainable cardio with 45 minutes at seven incline and three speed, roughly 500 calories, and agrees to a track mile challenge. They get blunt about the real battle, the mental game, boredom, and hedonic adaptation, and share practical tools to keep momentum. They also spotlight a listener who dropped 85 pounds and kept it off.FOLLOW @xeelafitness ON INSTAGRAM, TIKTOK & YOUTUBE!

The guys revisit his dunk journey (from a 17" to a 36" vertical, even training at an NBA facility), talk pitfalls like the beer phase that derailed him, and set next goals: keep lifting, build the six-pack, and stay ≤190 within six months.FOLLOW @xeelafitness ON INSTAGRAM, TIKTOK & YOUTUBE!

They also map a three-day maintenance split, shout out trainees’ progress, and surprise a listener on the weekly cash call—before teasing a bigger New Year run.FOLLOW @xeelafitness ON INSTAGRAM, TIKTOK & YOUTUBE!

They map a realistic goal (225 by month’s end), lay out a no-panic plan for his brother’s wedding trip (track, don’t “earn” binges with extra cardio, find a gym before you fly), and share a simple sick-day playbook (saltwater gargle, zinc lozenges, hydrate) so momentum survives December.FOLLOW @xeelafitness ON INSTAGRAM, TIKTOK & YOUTUBE!

John recaps Thanksgiving, logs a 14:55 mile, and weighs in at 228 after his first real cardio week, while Ilya explains why scale swings (water, sodium, hormones) don’t equal fat gain. They map a four-day cardio plan, get serious about tracking lifts, navigate family pressure at the table, and debunk the viral 72-hour water fast as a fat-loss shortcut.FOLLOW @xeelafitness ON INSTAGRAM, TIKTOK & YOUTUBE!

The crew keeps it real on why travel wrecks routines (unless you literally pack meal prep), why starting during the holidays makes you bulletproof in January, and how to bounce back after an overeat without spiraling. Plus a quick creatine myth-bust (it’s water in the muscle, not your face) and a feel-good cash-call to a listener.FOLLOW @xeelafitness ON INSTAGRAM, TIKTOK & YOUTUBE!
