If you’re looking to achieve peak performance, then you’ll obviously need to address your regular habits. And that’s where a lot of us really seem to get tripped up.

What if the same strategy you apply to your daily fitness practice is also the most effective strategy for building new habits for peak performance and permanent change in other areas of life?

On this episode of the GMB Show, we are thrilled to welcome back our good friend and Alpha Posse member, Josh Hillis. Josh, as you know, is an expert in helping his clients change their lifestyles through establishing and keeping good habits both unconsciously and automatically.

As you’ll hear, change can be as simple as just showing up and “doing the reps”. Focus mindfully on the daily practice and not the overall desired outcome and Josh reassures that you’ll see and often exceed that change you’re so desperately seeking.

What you’ll hear:

• 5:15: How Josh got into working with clients on changing their habits.
• 12:00: How sales skills relate to weight loss and personal training.
• 17:15: How being fully present while you eat or work out can help you achieve your goals and enjoy the process in the meantime.
• 23:30: How to work with different types of internal and external motivation, which might change on a daily basis.
• 26:55: What to do when your plans don’t go the way you think they will.
• 31:45:  How Josh handles the challenges of working with clients online.
• 36:30: The type of person who will most benefit from Josh’s book.

If you hit this workout twice a week for a month I guarantee you’ll be surprised - not just at how...

In the video below, Brazilian jiu-jitsu champion Marcelo Garcia shares wisdom regarding the significance of sport training for conditioning. In many ways, his ideas are similar to what was discussed in the recent Jack Dempsey entry. Dempsey, like Garcia, believed strongly in practicing the sport to prepare for the sport. And while such advice may appear to be common sense, many athletes mistakenly focus too much attention towards supplemental conditioning activities, without enough time dedicated to the sport itself.

This isn’t to say that supplemental work cannot be useful, but such work must be performed in small doses. Regardless of style, the best fighters typically spend the most time fighting. The boxer must box, the wrestler must wrestle, and the grappler must grapple. Supplemental work is then added to fill in the blanks, not interfere with the more pertinent sport training.
