103. Improve Your Run Time Without Running

If you're a first responder or in the military, you have to take some type of physical assessment to make sure You are fit for duty. The vast majority of these assessments require running, sprinting, jogging, or some type of agility. I talk to hundreds of first responders on a monthly basis, and I’ve come to the strong conclusion that the cardio portion of any fitness test is the Achilles heel of the Everyday Hero community., I've learned that most of this community hates running with a passion, and most avoid running at all costs until weeks before their test because they think improving their cardio by running is the only way. And this episode, I walk you through several other ways to improve your cardio so you can crush your physical fitness test without having to run regularly. If you hate running with a passion or feel like your joints can't handle it, I promise you there are other ways to become a performance animal without having to run or jog each week. What You'll Learn in this Episode: 0:00 - Intro 5:23 - Cardio is the #1 struggle for most people 11:52 - You better learn to run 15:31 - HIIT & LISS training 19:42 - Walking is not cardio 22:32 - Final action steps for improving cardio 🇺🇸If you're a Military Member/Veteran, 1st Responder, or Medical Professional and want to get fit for duty and life, then visit us below to find out how you can become one of our 500+ transformations🇺🇸 Follow Pursuit Health & Performance: | https://www.instagram.com/pursuit_hp/ | https://www.facebook.com/stefan.kunz.547/ | https://open.spotify.com/show/6sljQuIqdFixs3j5xAybCs?si=1fba11b6d0ec4545 | https://pursuit-hp.com/ |

101. Performance Hacks For Tactical Fitness

Cops, Firefighters, BPs, and COs should train a little differently than the average person at the gym. Even if performance is not your “top” priority, it's definitely something you need to focus on. A lot of people go to the gym purely for aesthetics, which is great, but they don't have a job where they're putting themselves in imminent danger each week.


This means you have an obligation to yourself, your career, and your community to be more of a performer than the guy who goes to the gym and does curls in the squat rack, lol. You should be prioritizing a 360 approach to your fitness if you want to be a well-rounded athlete AND look amazing all year long! In this episode, Coach Mike (Pursuit tactical performance coach) and I share what tactical athletes should be prioritizing when it comes to their programming and performance.


What You'll Learn in this Episode:

0:00 - Intro

4:54 - What is conjugate training?

8:25 - Training for strength and speed

13:22 - Everything comes from your brain

19:11 - Thoughts on CrossFit

23:28 - Your program needs to be tailored to your life

29:22 - Being capable v. being technical

65. How Fitness Has Drastically Helped Me With My Finances

If you’re looking to have the body, the bank account, the woman, and the overall happiness, it’s done in a certain order…

And the order might be a bit different than you think

For me, I wanted to be super successful financially ever since I was 18 or 19 years, but had no clue how to get there

Diving into a self development, journey back in 2017, and learning to play into the strengths that the gym/fitness taught me has absolutely catapulted me forward in my professional career and success in every area of my life

I can truly say that fitness has made me happier with myself, have a happy marriage, be a better father, have more faith, have more financial success and freedom, and overall be happier with life.

98. 3 Simple Ways To Meal Prep To Save You Time & Money

That way, you can be consistent with your nutrition and obtain the physique that you've always wanted.

97. How Tactical Athletes Should Train To Improve Cardio, Burn Fat, & Increase Performance

Firefighters, Border patrol, law enforcement, and corrections officers are all “tactical athletes” from my standpoint. These careers should be prepared for almost anything to pop off unexpectedly. They might have to fight, sprint, climb, throw, and who knows what else, but if you look at the training programs most are following, there’s a massive disconnect between how they’re training and what their body will be prepared for.

On top of training for performance, nutrition seems to be another Achilles heel for the tactical athlete community. This has led to a lot of these career fields being 20-70+ lbs overweight, which has a direct negative impact on the performance, health, and confidence of the individual. In this episode, I dive deep into a few styles of training I’ve seen to be the most optimal training for the lifestyle, schedule, goals, and physical capability of the tactical athlete. After working with 650+ Everyday Heroes, my team has an excellent pulse on what this should look like!

What You'll Learn in this Episode:

---------------------

0:00 - Intro

2:31 - How to increase your performance

7:06 - You need to train like you play

7:57 - The #1 cardio you should be doing

12:00 - How to train for specific scenarios

18:19 - You should be doing BOTH of these

30:36 - We often eat out of boredom

34:15 - Finding the balance of how to train

37:27 - Crossfit gets a lot of things right

41:41 - How much time are you willing to sacrifice?

96. Do Your Workouts Feel Like A Chore?

Do your workouts feel like a chore? Are you avoiding the gym because deep down inside you dread each and every second? Look, I used to feel this way about my training, and so did hundreds of our clients before they started our Hero Program. I hit a bad rut back in 2014, where even the thought of going to the gym made me mentally check out and skip the gym. Even if I mustered up enough “motivation” to go, I was winging it and had no real structure, making me feel even more unmotivated. I was unsure whether my workouts were helping me lose body fat and build muscle, which led to even less motivation; it was a vicious cycle, to say the least. I have good news, though. Once I started implementing a few techniques I share in this episode, I not only became motivated to work out again, but I actually got excited to work out, and I kept that feeling all year long! What You'll Learn in this Episode:

--------------------- 0:00 - Intro 2:07 -What are you enthusiastic about? 5:38 - There are people that would kill to move their bodies like you do 9:23 - A very negative way of thinking about working out 13:16 - Do you view exercise as a chore? 18:00 - It is your responsibility to your family to be in shape 21:21 - If you do a program you need to do it the right way

95. You Need To Fight More For The Life You Want

I thought you were tougher than this?

After all, you know you picked a challenging career that required mental and physical toughness.

So why do you give up so easily on your personal goals?

Seriously, at what point are you going to fight for the life you want?You're so bought into your comforts and so afraid to lose them that they have become your crutch.

Your weekend beers, morning Starbucks runs, late-night sweets, always being "too busy" for the gym, and excessive mindless snacking have been crippling you for a long ass time.

Nothing changes if nothing changes! But if you're not willing to change, you lose the right to complain about your situation.

If you're not willing to fight for it you, then need to own your situation. Own your belly, own your shocking doctor visits, own that your clothes don't fit you the way you want, own your low confidence. Be 100% content with where you're at.

I'm not here to shame you or tell you to change, if you're truly happy then I'm happy for you (seriously I'm happy for you)But if you're not happy, if you know you could do better, if you know you're capable of more, it's time for you to fight for the life you want!! What You'll Learn in this Episode:

--------------------- 0:00 - Intro 2:49 - There ARE people fighting for their life 6:35 - Why do we wade in toxic worlds? (social media) 8:59 - If you are out of balance, you are not fighting 11:16 - There will be days that you lose 14:05 - Show up for yourself the way you show up for others 18:52 - Why do we all of a sudden settle for a lesser version of ourselves? ---------------------

94. How To Eat While Working 12+ Hour Shifts

I see nutrition as the pain point for so many 1st responders and it makes me sad because it’s easier than you think to solve. Number one, this is a HUGE mindset issue over everything. If you have this notion that nutrition will be difficult, then it’s always going to be a challenge for you. Secondly, you might not be aware of all your options when it comes to having good nutrition that helps you reach your physique and performance goals which is why I lay out the four main options you have in this episode. I’m guessing you’re a person who thrives off of order, structure, and procedures…good! That means you’ll do well with your nutrition as long as you have a plan in place that you can buy into for your goals and lifestyle. Listen in to find out what option will be best for you to start losing body fat, building muscle, and maximizing your performance! What You'll Learn in this Episode:

---------------------

0:00 - Intro 3:00 - If others can do it, you can too 7:30 - Saying you're busy is not an excuse anymore 10:05 - You at least bring SOME food to work with you 14:03 - You can bring meal prep food 18:00 - The challenges of intermittent fasting 26:44 - You CAN eat out every day ---------------------

93. How To Be A Confident Woman In The Gym

Men have heavily dominated the military and 1st responder community, although there has been a shift in the last few decades with more women joining these career fields…and that gets me stoked! At Pursuit, we’ve trained hundreds of women over the last few years in law enforcement, fire, medicine, and military. I truly believe these women can hold their own with the guys, but they need to train hard and prioritize their training. To do this, they need to get into the gym where the men are and follow almost identical training programs. This takes confidence and the right mindset to get in there and stay consistent which is why I bring on Pursuit's very own Coach Riley to talk about how she works with her female clients to help them curate a bad-ass winning mindset! What You'll Learn in this Episode:

--------------------- 0:00 - Intro 3:23 - How to get comfortable in the gym as a woman 6:23 - Excuses can be reasonable, but they are still excuses 11:48 - It is okay to be uncomfortable 13:53 - What is the biggest turning point for a woman in the gym? 18:39 - What is the hardest thing about fitness 26:53 - Start moving your body in some way, shape, or form ---------------------

92. The Long-Term Effects Quitting Has On your Brain

Are you a quitter?! That even seemed harsh when I typed out this question, but it’s a legit question. Are you someone who says you’re going to do something but struggles to follow through? The habit of quitting has real chemical effects on the brain that you need to be aware of! Take a long look at your life…In some areas of your life, you’re crushing it and executing like a beast, but for some reason when it comes to fitness, you continuously struggle to stay consistent long enough to get good results. Look, you’re not alone when it comes to your training and nutrition; most people can execute but it’s the follow-through long-term that kills them. This habit of easily quitting seeps into other parts of your life and before you know it, your mindset, outlook, career, and relationships, start to crumble. What You'll Learn in this Episode:

--------------------- 0:00 - Intro 5:32 - Unlocking a new potential 8:02 - The effects of quitting in one area of your life, carry over to other parts of your life 11:08 - Seeing how the quitting mindset has affected our previous clients 15:07 - If you do what you say you will do for the hard things, everything else is easy 19:03 - What are some good examples of building a tough mentality? 22:10 - Quitting can also feel really good (In a bad way) 26:55 - Creating a tribe of others with the same mentality 31:12 - The importance of perspective and gratitude 34:05 - How can you ask of others what you will not do for yourself ---------------------

91. The Carbs I Eat To Stay Lean And Perform

Nutrition is such a highly debated topic in the fitness industry, and for a good reason! I believe that nutrition is so opinion-based that you need to hear people out, try their “style” and find what works for YOU and YOUR lifestyle. As a 1st responder, you need to make sure this happens even more than people in other career because of your crazy schedule. In this episode I give you some insight into the specific carbs I eat if I’m looking to get shredded and perform well, and how I set up my training to compliment my nutrition. What You'll Learn in this Episode: 0:00 - Intro 3:10 - DON'T do keto or low carb if you are a first responder 5:21 - What is carb cycling? 10:07 - My favorite source of carbs 15:22 - You will fail your nutrition goals if you do not have staples 17:41 - You don't NEED a new diet plan when cutting or bulking 22:27 - Tracking your macros is the simplest long term solution ---------------------

Consistency is KEY to getting in and staying in shape, so why don't you keep setting yourself up for failure? Almost everyone I know has struggled with “falling off the wagon” on the weekend with their nutrition and training at some point. This is why I train at least one day (Saturday or Sunday) on the weekend. It’s been a game changer for me and my clients who have struggled with this vicious cycle. Listen in to find out why YOU should probably be training on the weekends. What You'll Learn in this Episode: 0:00 - Intro

88. The Smartest Way To Use Protein To Build Muscle

Do you have any idea how much protein you're supposed to be eating each day to gain the amount of muscle you want? You might think you know the answer, but there's a lot of misinformation floating around on the topic of protein consumption  To make things worse, every fitness influencer says something different, and many of them don't look at the scientific research and the studies. Some trainers look at the science, but they don't take into account real-life events, such as training themselves and their clients. You need to look at both ends of the spectrum, the science and individual and client case studies if you want the most accurate information.

85. You Will FAIL If You Wait Until Monday To Start

I don't know about you, but I would rather start a new routine on Monday than on Friday. It feels like more of a fresh start when you start something on a Monday versus midweek. This is a phenomenon called the fresh start effect and there's a lot of research to back up how the human brain works and why people love waiting until Monday to start, but there is a huge problem regarding this mindset.



This mindset breeds perfectionism and an all-or-nothing mindset. If you have to wait until you "feel" good to start your progress will be determined by how you feel emotionally instead of what needs to be executed for you to be successful
