If there is one thing I could've understood better prior to my fitness journey it's Habits. What EXACTLY they are, and how they effect me daily! It's really simple too, once you understand how frequently we actually are performing habits or actually being who we think are (or acting). It all starts with you. In order to see success with your health & fitness goals it REQUIRES you to cultivate the right habits, after all that's essentially what taking this journey is. Creating new and long term habits. "Making Health Habitual""How Long Does it Take to Form a Habit""What is Dopamine: Understanding the Feel Good Hormone""Habit Formation""Creating Healthy Habits" As always, Connect with me elsewhere!!!! Podcast Instagram Page Instagram: @Tyler_EganTwitter: @tyler_egan2LinkedIn Page: Click thisFacebook Page: @VeganEganYouTube: Tyler Egan

More recentely I've been doing mobility/stability related videos on IGTV, YouTube, and Facebook. These videos have been addressing (what I view as) some of the most common movement faults I see, and while it may not be hurting you now, I don't want to see it rear it's ugly head later. Instead I'm taking the more proactive approach and showing others how they can negate and reverse some of the joint issues and pains they may deal with on a regular basis. Foot Coffins - Hip Stability - Part 1 - IGTV Foot Coffins - Ankle Mobility - Part 2 - YouTube As always, Connect with me elsewhere!!!! Podcast Instagram Page Instagram: @Tyler_EganTwitter: @tyler_egan2LinkedIn Page: Click thisFacebook Page: @VeganEganYouTube: Tyler Egan

This one was not by request, but it was something I wanted to fully comprehend better to better relay this message to any (and all) of you! Today I discuss your new secret weapon to fat loss (although it's not much of a secret) and that's NEAT or non exercise activity theermogenesis. In simpler terms, the energy (or calories) we burn when not exercising. I give what it is and the difference it can make when it comes to total calorie burned at the end of the day and some ways you can incorporate more of it! Links: The Role NEAT place in Fat LossMetabolic Adaptation on Weight Loss How to Boost Your Metabolism with NEATNEAT in Obesity ManagementHarvard Article11 Benefits of Walking As always, Connect with me elsewhere!!!! Podcast Instagram Page Instagram: @Tyler_EganTwitter: @tyler_egan2LinkedIn Page: Click thisFacebook Page: @VeganEganYouTube: Tyler Egan

Okay, I'll apologize in advance for this little short one with the click bait title. I'll admit it to it all. This is just something for you to entertain, a thought that is worth keeping in the back of your head for a bit and seeing what you think later. It really does set you up for a huge win each and everyday. As always, Connect with me elsewhere!!!! Podcast Instagram Page Instagram: @Tyler_EganTwitter: @tyler_egan2LinkedIn Page: Click thisFacebook Page: @VeganEganYouTube: Tyler Egan

I knew sleep was important for recovery and overall well being, but  I did not know how absolutely vital and tricky it can be! I learned so much, how certain daily activities and substances can play a role in our sleep (i.e. exercise, caffeine, blue light), and how we may just be setting our self up for you failure every single night before bed. I also left you with some tips and mindset ideas that I use to get myself out of bed and moving every morning. Here's the Articles/Sources I read: Journal of Sleep Medicine Study on Caffeine Timing How Blue Light plays a Role in Sleep (Harvard) What are Neurotransmitters? What is the Circadian Rhythm? What You Need to Know About Melatonin! Thermoregulation Study on Sleep Disorders As always, Connect with me elsewhere!!!! Podcast Instagram Page Instagram: @Tyler_EganTwitter: @tyler_egan2LinkedIn Page: Click thisFacebook Page: @VeganEganYouTube: Tyler Egan

This episode was a request, and before we go any further I'm completely honored that somebody would want me to discuss a topic of this magnitude. Mindset is such an overlooked aspect of a health and fitness journey (and life honestly) that it needs to be the center of our attention more, it needs to be discussed more, and it needs to be changed! Definitions of the Two Gratifications Treating Yourself Is A Trap (Episode Link) As always, Connect with me elsewhere!!!! Podcast Instagram Page Instagram: @Tyler_EganTwitter: @tyler_egan2LinkedIn Page: Click thisFacebook Page: @VeganEganYouTube: Tyler Egan

Today is definitely an interesting one. Covid doesn't appear to be going away anytime soon, and there's such a bogus message being spread about them. Do they work? I don't really know, truth be told, I'd be surprised if anybody actually does (although many will claim they do). So I dive into what the real message of 2020 and the Covid-19 Pandemic should be. Agree, disagree? Let me know.

What if I told you that those 20 minutes you complained about not having, could actually add 20 years to your life? I'm not saying this is a proven fact by any means, but it makes sense. Take a few extra minutes now, add more time later in life, I like that trade off.

Today, I dive into resistance training and how it can truly impact your life. I discuss all of the ways in which you can train yourself to become better at any physical task through lifting some heavy shit and placing it back down, or to put it a bit more eloquently 'get thic" It's not just about aesthetics, and to those who truly understands the benefits of lifting weights and routine resistance training, it never has been. Connect with me elsewhere!!!! Podcast Instagram Page Instagram: @Tyler_EganTwitter: @tyler_egan2LinkedIn Page: Click thisFacebook Page: @VeganEganYouTube: Tyler Egan

We all have bad days, they're hard to shake, they're hard to push through, but that's exactly what you need! We need to push and grind through this tough days, the days you want to skip your workout and give up on yourself. Those are the days you need to dig deep, take that anger, sadness, maybe it's guilt or shame and take that into the gym and use it as fuel. We're taught to run from emotions, but training (whatever sort) can teach you to understand them, and can teach you how to take back control. Connect with me elsewhere!!!! Podcast Instagram Page Instagram: @Tyler_EganTwitter: @tyler_egan2LinkedIn Page: Click thisFacebook Page: @VeganEganYouTube: Tyler Egan

It starts with a belief in yourself! Whether you do or not is beyond the point. You need to shift this mindset, and believe in the person you see in the mirror. Through thick and thin, through hell and back, you need to believe in that person! Because it's the only person you have! New Youtube Video Connect with me elsewhere!!!! Podcast Instagram Page Instagram: @Tyler_EganTwitter: @tyler_egan2LinkedIn Page: Click thisFacebook Page: @VeganEganYouTube: Tyler Egan

The Plants & PRs HQ is under attack. I'm just kidding, I'm in the middle of a move, and decided I may begin to take the podcast in a different direction. I originally set out to spread the Vegan/Plant Based message (along with physical fitness), but have gone way off track with that! I instead want to help educate others on how truly incredible our bodies are and how there is no limit to them. Once you get your mind and body right, and recognize your potential the world becomes your oysters. So i've decided I'm going to "rebrand" the podcast and name it the "Mind Muscle Experience" (assuming it's still valid when I go to switch) Let me know what you think. New Youtube Video Connect with me elsewhere!!!! Podcast Instagram Page Instagram: @Tyler_EganTwitter: @tyler_egan2LinkedIn Page: Click thisFacebook Page: @VeganEganYouTube: Tyler Egan

Another Tea Time w/ Tyler! A last minute episode gone completely longer then expected! Today I talk about re framing some of the ways we view training and how we can use training to find the power within ourselves. Whether it be from functional, or stability training, maybe yours is through yoga or training or raw strength. There's no one way to do it, but we all have the power within us! New Youtube Video The Ready State Article on Walking:https://members.thereadystate.com/blogs/why-you-should-walk-more-according-to-kelly-starrett/  Connect with me elsewhere!!!! Podcast Instagram Page Instagram: @Tyler_EganTwitter: @tyler_egan2LinkedIn Page: Click thisFacebook Page: @VeganEganYouTube: Tyler Egan

Strength is a very interesting topic to discuss, it's often measured by numbers, and I believe we need to shift this focus. We've become so hyper focused on numbers (whether that be the physical amount your lifting, reps, or times) that we're losing sight of the bigger picture, and all of the real time benefits that come from strength training and working out! Be sure to check out my new YouTube Video Hip Shift YouTube Video And!!!!!

We're all human, most of us forget that, we have they wild expectations for ourselves, and I think we should. We should set the bar high, we should want greateness and then some. There's nothing wrong with having higher standards, but the fact is you're gonna have weird moods, and you may even fall off track. What do you do when that happens?

Self-Love is such a "hot" topic these days. Everybody wants to "heal" them self and treat themselves with love and respect, but how many are people are actually doing it? I mean really doing it. If you want to treat yourself like garbage, by all means, it's your life to live, and that's fine, BUT! Eating awful food, not exercising and marinating in your own thoughts/feelings is not self love. It does not mean you love yourself and we need to stop thinking it does. Full Lower Body Workout - YouTube Video Connect with me elsewhere!!!! Podcast Instagram Page Instagram: @Tyler_EganTwitter: @tyler_egan2LinkedIn Page: Click thisFacebook Page: @VeganEganYouTube: Tyler Egan
