ERF 986: 8 Weeks Until Summer — Here’s What Actually Works

Work With Me 1:1 Coaching - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf-1on1.html On today's episode I sit down with James, the winner of our 8-Week New Year's Challenge, along with coach Jamie to break down exactly how he pulled it off. James dropped over 20 pounds, took his resting heart rate from 92 to 49, and cut his cholesterol nearly in half — all while working long shifts in food service and raising three kids in the UK. He opens up about the moment that kicked all of this off: giving CPR to his stepdad in his own home, and the promise he made to himself that day. Jamie and I get into how we built the plan around his chaotic schedule, and how James' journey has now pulled his chef, his sister, and his own dad into taking their health seriously too.

join my 8-Week Challenge https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf-8week-challenge.html On today's episode I break down my first Hyrox race — why I signed up in the first place (I've avoided cardio my entire life), exactly how I trained for it on just one day a week of cardio, and what I ate to fuel it, which ended up being 4,500 to 5,000 calories a day. I talk through what was actually hard on race day, what was easier than I expected because of my lifting background, and what I'd do differently next time if you're thinking about signing up for one yourself.

Work With Me 1:1 Coaching - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf-1on1.html On today's pod, Sophie and I are recording live in Miami and diving into whether AI is going to replace your fitness coach and why online coaching gets better results than in-person. AI can write you a workout plan, but it can't check in on you, hold you accountable, or adjust when life gets in the way. If you've ever thought about using ChatGPT as your coach or wondered if a personal trainer is enough, this episode is for you.
