It's been a while! I've got a new episode for you today discussing the controversial weight-loss drug, Ozempic, sharing my philosophy on the benefits I've seen with longterm fitness coaching, and new stuff I'm digging into regarding injury rehab and running.

It's a choice to wander through life aimlessly. We've all done it. If you're tired of "trying hard," with very little to show for it, it's time to stop and pay closer attention to what you're doing (or not doing). In this episode I discuss my system for getting clear about what I want and more importantly, WHY I want it. If you've worked with me in the past, you already know what I'm going to say. But you should still listen to this episode. Thanks for being here! Instagram: https://www...
When your primary goal is fat loss, it's important to develop new habits and skills that support the outcome you want. This won't happen if you don't take weighing, measuring and tracking calories seriously- at least for a few months so you can learn the value of a calorie. In this episode, I discuss how to wean yourself off tracking calories so you don't have to do it forever. As we get deeper into summer, it's not wise to forgo your strength training workouts for other activities. This does...

In this episode I share some ideas around including more balance and stability exercises in your training routine. Balance is one of those "use it or lose it" skills, so it needs to be a part of your program indefinitely if you want to keep or improve it. Adopting a non-judgmental attitude toward your capabilities (or temporary lack thereof) is paramount for success. We'll also discuss some fun gear I recently discovered! Hope you're all well.

I'm a big fan of self-reliance, specifically as it pertains to starting your own business and designing your life the way you want to live it. There's a lot of loud, scary noise bombarding us all right now, and it can feel discouraging. In this episode, I discuss opting out of the chaos, guarding your mind from the toxicity of extremes and trusting your inner voice. Thanks for listening!

In this episode I discuss the importance of having the right attitude when pursuing your goals. Far too often I hear people complaining, becoming negative, and getting impatient, then quitting when things become too challenging. I see this in all areas of life, not just fitness. This is how you "fail." You quit. Your attitude drives you forward, or pulls you down. You choose. Ideal training splits depend on several variables; your goals, how much time you have, your schedule, and ...
I'm working on a passionate project that's been living rent free in my head for too long. It's time to get it going. In this episode I share what I'm up to, and a bit about the community experience I had over the weekend. I love finding my people, and this new project has connected me with some awesome folks. I'm excited to see the impact we can make. Thanks for listening! Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/figarellesfitness
In this episode I discuss the habits of competitive bodybuilders and what I think they get right. Putting physique change at the forefront of their efforts over performance or anything else, is where bodybuilding becomes controversial. Most people are embarrassed to admit their most important goal is to look good naked. These are their words, not mine. I support all of my clients and whatever goal they want to pursue. We dig into discussing supporting your spouse and their goals, as wel...
Technology has come a long way over the past few decades, making it easier than ever to help us measure, monitor and achieve our fitness goals. In this episode, I share three pieces of technology I believe are worth investing in and using daily. Thanks for listening!

In this episode I discuss my recent trip to Mike Boyle's Strength & Conditioning facility in Woburn, MA. I attended their Spring seminar with my wife Lela, and we learned from some of the best minds in the fitness industry. I took several things away from this event; one being the importance of training an often overlooked muscle group, otherwise known as the "second heart." I have adjusted my own training program to prioritize this part of the body in an effort to give it the atten...
Improving self-discipline opens doors to better health, deeper relationships, and more career opportunities. Cultivating self-discipline requires delaying gratification, which is an ongoing practice. In this episode, I share several things I've been doing to improve my daily habits and self-discipline. Consider the changes you can make in your own lift that will help you get where you want to be.

I love sharing book recommendations, especially when I believe the majority of people can benefit from reading a specific book. Changing your thoughts, beliefs and self-talk to support your goals is important if you want to experience lasting results. I highly recommend this book to anyone in a position to lead others, or for someone who wants to make a positive change in any area of life. Thanks for listening!

Establishing personal values is the first step in gaining clarity around what's most important in your life. Next, is the process of setting goals. Without a set of personal values to help drive good (and faster) decision making, you run into unnecessary frustrations, and it can often feel like your goals are out of reach. Your values will help guide you, troubleshoot problems, and they will make goal setting and achievement so much more fun. In this episode, I share my revamped values for 20...
When you invest in a fitness coach, you are entering into a partnership. It's important to walk into this partnership with clearly defined goals, an understanding of why these goals are so important to you, and a willingness to be honest and vulnerable every step of the way. Change is hard, and your coach can guide and troubleshoot only as far as you are willing to go. It's your job as the client to ask questions, communicate honestly, adhere to your plan, keep showing up, and maintain patien...

To set yourself up for success, consider planning your next fat loss phase under specific conditions that will support the outcome you want. It's not always a good time to put your body through what it takes to lose body fat. Have a plan, and go all in. If you can't do that right now, hold off until you can. Consistency is key.

Reading books has always been one of my favorite pastimes, and it's allowed me to advance my career, improve my marriage, fix my mindset around money, and boost my self-awareness. If you end up reading any of these books, or you have recommendations for me, please let me know. Thanks for listening!

One of my biggest goals over the past few years has been to return to running after spending more time than I'd like to admit managing chronic pain. In this episode, I share the tools and resources that have helped me the most. If you're experiencing chronic pain that keeps you sidelined, this episode is for you. Thanks for listening!
