In this podcast, I interview Ultra Marathon man, Dean Karnazes.At 58 years old Dean is a living legend who has run a marathon a day in 50 different States for 50 days on the bounce, run a marathon in the South Pole and once ran for 350 miles in just under 90 hours without sleep to name just a few things :)Tune in and listen to him tell his famous tale about how he turned his back on a comfy corporate yet unfulfilling career starting on the night of his 30th Birthday where he left a bar after drinking with friends and simply began to run into the night.That was the moment his life changed forever.Deans methodical approach to training, recovery and nutrition is incredible yet he talks about it in a very matter of fact way with zero arrogance.It was a joy to speak with someone who has inspired so much and continues to fire me up with what really can be achieved by the human body when the mind is conquered.Thank you Dean and keep inspiring.Coach Tregs

In this podcast I tell you what NOT to do during this Xmas period. Having been that guy that used the festive time as an excuse to condone laziness and overconsumption, I can tell you there is no happiness in that.December is 31 days, lets say you let loose on 6 of those days with food and booze, thats still 25 days to balance that out.You can still have a great time at Xmas without gaining 10-14lbs of unwanted fat.I hope this gives you some insights and perspective.As always, I appreciate your feedback.Keep Truckin Coach Tregs

In this podcast I talk about the amount of men putting training on the back burner because they have too much going on.How I get messages from a lot of men saying they need to put training on hold for now and will pick up when things settle down.I talk about men who have popped up inside my online communities that are sleep deprived, working too hard, burnt out and with no energy to exercise.Something needs to give.I've been there before and realised I had the power to change it and did.You too have the power.Understand there will never be the perfect time or clear 12 weeks to give it your best shot.Life will always get in the way.Thats why health and fitness should be factored into your weekly diary and be made a priority.I hope this hits home.Lads you are no used to your boss, business and family if ill, burnt out or even worse, dead.Said with love.Health is wealth.Keep Truckin Coach Tregs

In this short podcast I talk about the restrict and binge cycle that I see a lot of people caught up in.I talk from great experience myself as I have been through this cycle of misery and failure.I talk about the massive dangers of doing heavily restricted diets, especially if you have a poor relationship with food.I think this one will resonate, and hopefully help a lot of you.Keep Truckin Coach Tregs

In this short podcast I delve deep into mindset and talk about why some people continually fail.Having been a fitness trainer for 13 years I have encountered all sorts of people.Some, you give them the tools to lose weight, they follow it and the weight stays off.Others lose weight initially then revert back to type, gaining back all of the weight they previously had lost.Now why is that?It has everything to do with their subconscious programming and their own image internal image of themselves (often due to their subconscious programming).Unsure as to what Im talking about?Put your feet up and listen to the audio.Transformation starts in the mind and until you are mentally ready you will never achieve your physical goals.I hope you get some value from this.Keep TruckinCoach Tregs

In this short podcast I stress the importance of not only having goals but 'writing them down'.This has been proven to increase the chance of achieving your goal by up to 42%.Writing down a goal allows you to look at it daily and visualise what it will feel like to achieve it.It is one of the most ignored, yet vital, things that someone should do if they really want to achieve a goal.Get it down on paper and get to work!I really hope this encourages someone to set big goals and get them written down!Keep TruckinCoach Tregs

In this short podcast I address the 'Should of, would of, could of' mentality I see in some guys.The ones that say 'I could of done that but I've got too many niggles' or 'If I was 10 years younger I would of done that'.There is growing evidence to suggest that more men in their 40s and 50s are competing in things like Iron Man.I want you to be that guy that makes his health and fitness a priority, addresses niggles and old injuries and comes up with a plan to go and achieve a massive goal despite being 30+,40+ or 50+....I really hope this inspires someone.Don't be that man sat on his couch full of regret.Lets do this!Keep Truckin Coach Tregs

In this short podcast I talk about repetition and habits.I also talk about 'consistency' and 'moderation' which is NOT SEXY and doesn't sell but is the key to getting successful fat loss.I also discuss the 'long game' and why slow and steady really does win the race.I hope you get some value from this.Be sure to leave a comment.Keep TruckinCoach Tregs

In this episode I talk about why we sabotage our goals and go into the psychology behind it.Having been guilty of this massively in the past and still facing the battle most days I talk from experience.Having C.B.T when my kids were very young and I felt overwhelmed really helped me to get a deeper understanding of this too.If you feel like you are always starting, getting so far then sabotaging your goals by overeating and consuming too much alcohol then hopefully this could give you some insights as to why.I'm also hoping some of the points I cover help you to put things in place so that you can go on to achieve your goals.Let me know if this resonated.Keep Truckin.Coach Tregs

In this episode I interview online client Simon Huckstepp.Simon lost a whopping 110lbs in just 7 months after deciding enough was enough.At the time he was tipping the scales at 140kg, boozing excessively and living off junk food.Initially he simply started juicing, living off nothing but blended fruit and vegetables each day, then 3 months into it he discovered our documentary and joined our paid members area.What he loved was the non judgemental atmosphere plus the support + accountability.He slowly stopped the juicing and introduced foods such as fish, chicken and steamed veggies.After learning about N.E.A.T in our community he bought a Fit-Bit and began to walk and cycle everywhere.This combined with the consistency of his daily nutrition saw him dropping around 7kgs per month!He now sits at 92kg with a goal of getting to 80kgs.Its a truly inspiring story from a normal guy who, at his worst, was sick in bed from too much alcohol but did not have the energy to clear it up, so slept in it.Added to that he c

In this episode I talk openly about depression, anxiety and male suicide.This was triggered by the tragic and recent loss of The Prodigy frontman who sadly took his own life in March.A hero to not just myself but to many other men of my age group this really got me thinking about the pressures we face daily as modern men that we often chose to hide from our loved ones.Having lost one of my best friends and co-founder of 30 Plus Men's Fitness, Mark Ramskill back in 2012 to suicide this recent event certainly stirred up a lot of emotions.Across the UK in 2018, a staggering 4,661 men took their own lives, this is a frightening figure indeed.Here I talk about some of the things that I have been through with anxiety and depression and how I overcame this.I also discuss why so many busy over 30s,40s and 50s men feel so overwhelmed in this day and age and yet at the same time unable to talk about it.This one is pretty deep, and if it helps 1 man to understand that they are not alone with their daily thoughts and anx

In this episode I talk with Ry Williams who is a part time PT and full-time post man originally from Hereford.He recently did a 30 day challenge eating only Mcdonalds in which he lost 16lbs and got in great shape (he was already pretty lean but lost over a stone).He'd been interviewed here there and everywhere with a mix of good and bad press so I thought why not get him on for a chat.We discuss his reasons for doing this challenge and what he wanted to prove.We also talk in depth about the type of foods he ate off the Mcdonalds menu, how he felt on a daily basis and how he performed during training.This is a real insightful podcast and goes way beyond simply discussing calories in vs calories out and looks deeply at peoples relationship with food.Sit back, relax grab yourself a coffee and enjoy our chatter. As always I'd love to hear your feedback. Keep Truckin Coach Tregs

In this episode with just myself, I discuss some of the mistakes I have made during my 13 years in the industry.This was inspired by the news that the author of a booked called the 'PH Miracle' is being sued by a client in the US for over 100 million. The story is that he advised her to quit her chemotherapy and use his methods which include taking 'baking soda' from a tea-spoon to change the PH of the body so that the disease could not live in the supposed 'alkaline' state.This method failed and she now has not long left to live.I talk about going on courses in the past to continue my education only to be given similar misguided advise.Whilst I have never advised anyone who has cancer I admit I did used to tell people to 'alkalise' and 'detoxify' as this was the current message being passed on by my peers at the time.It's an open and honest talk where I'm happy to admit I got things wrong and am way more comfortable to give a much more logical message.Sit back, relax grab yourself a coffee and enjoy our chat
