Rnt Fitness Radio

Welcome back to another episode of RNT Fitness Radio, and today I’m joined here live with Mr Kmak to talk about the different stages of change you will go through during your transformation. It’s a little different to the phases we talk about in the RNT journey, and instead, this discussion is based on the transtheoretical model, which is a psychological theory from the 80s that’s been used in many fields to help the process of altering problematic behaviour patterns such as smoking, eating junk or a sedentary lifestyle. Through this, we also discuss our own personal experiences of letting go of perceptions, comparisons and other limiting beliefs that have been guilty of taking us down spirals of paralysis by analysis and spinning our wheels. So, without further ado, let’s dive in Do you want to be entertained, or do you want to see results? – Team RNT    Timestamps: 1:03- New beard sponsorship 5:23 – Pre-contemplation stage 7:24 – Contemplation stage 10:13 – Preparation stage 15:04 – Action stage 18:15 –

Today we’re joined by one the members of the RNT Family, Minal Patel, who’s achieved an incredible transformation as a mother of two in her 40s juggling a busy work, family and social life. I really enjoyed talking to Minal here and hearing her incredible insights on creating generational health, and her ways of inspiring her growing children to be more aware of their health and lifestyle. This segment alone will be a game changer for any of you parents listening in here. We also talk about her struggles before her RNT journey, and how through a focus on strength, muscle building and further evolving goals, she’s managed to break out of the dieting cycle to get into the shape of her life, for life.    ‘It’s been a complete lifestyle change, I’m never going back.’ – Minal Patel   Timestamps: 1.10 – Minal’s typical working week 2.10 – Marathon training 11.02 – Marathon nutrition 14.13 – Increasing strength and muscle building for women 16.43– Advice for women who are stuck in the dieting cycle 19.01 – Minal’

This is a very important episode of RNT Fitness Radio as we discuss the Five Phases of the RNT Transformation Journey. Each of these phases are an integral part of every RNTer’s Transformation Journey, and we dive into each phase separately and uncover the lifestyle solutions that can help you maximise each one, which are: Phase 1 – Clean the Palate, Phase 2 – Process, Phase 3, Consolidation, Phase 4 – Investment and Phase 5 – Reward. Where we spend most of our time, and go really deep into, is the Consolidation phase. We talk about the dangers that many of you will face here, and how you need to be prepared for it ahead of time in order to consolidate your gains properly. If you are currently undergoing your Transformation Journey, about to or are thinking about it, this is essential listening.  “Most people underestimate how much bodyfat they have and overestimate how much muscle they have”   Timestamps: [01:57]– The five phases of a transformation [06:35] – Why structure is needed [07:30]– Why clea

Welcome back to another episode of RNT Fitness Radio, where this week we’re joined by Paul Carter, who’s the first guest to come back on after first appearing over a year ago on episode 18. After an email exchange over Christmas about how much life has changed for Paul since our last chat, we thought it’d be cool to record another episode for you guys. We start by talking about the slow process of natural muscle gain and why building a foundation is so critical if you want to be lean year round later, and still hold decent size. The meat of the podcast then delves into the different valleys of life we go through, the importance of understanding and developing yourself to achieve emotional equilibrium in relationships. This then leads to an interesting discussion on different attachment theories, and how your attachment style impacts the relationships you hold in life. As always Paul doesn’t hold back here, and dives really deep into some of life’s most interesting conversations. ‘’All of your adversity is a

Welcome back to another episode of RNT Fitness Radio. Today I’m joined by one of our RNT clients, Nimalan, who’s been working with us for the past year and gone through what I like to call the ideal physique journey so far. After a dieting phase where he, in his own words, made more progress in 16 weeks than in 10 years, he’s shifted gears to a lengthy muscle building where it’s now all about PRs on the bar, and PRs on the plate. Having never been lean in the past, we talk about struggles of embracing the fluff, and why for the right person, it can be such an important phase to go through to end up with the physique you’re really after. Through all of this, he travels almost every single week for work all over the country, and he spends time talking about the critical mindset to adopt if you want to make progress in your health and fitness when living out of a suitcase. Nimalan’s getting married this month, and his soon to be wife Sonayna is also on her own RNT journey, and we talk about strength training and

On today’s Valentine’s day special of #RNTFitnessRadio, I’m joined by the whole team at RNT. This episode came from popular demand in the RNT family group after a long thread about juggling dating with getting into the shape of your life, so we thought we’d come together and discuss this for the single guys & girls out there! Ben also takes the mic and talks about how things might be a little different when you’re married. That said, one thing we’ve always enjoyed as coaches is training couples, and seeing them transform together. The level of accountability and support it creates can be a real game changer, and it’s not unusual to see couples achieve incredible transformations when training together. We then talk about where all are in our own goals, while getting an insight into Indi’s journey over the years battling through a number of different struggles, and still coming out standing on top.

We then dive into discussing our triphasic approach to body transformations, why you might need to clean the pallet, the art of buffering around social occasions, and why you need to have precursors in place to make habit building and stacking as simple and automatic as possible.
