Podcast Episode #144: “Fitness for the Long Haul” with Mackenzie Griffith

For many people, fitness is an on-again/off-again thing throughout their lifetime  one that often goes like this:  they get so angry and frustrated with themselves that they create this huge list of things they want to overhaul about their lives and go full throttle for a few days until their battery dies from exerting so much effort to try to become someone who is wildly different from who they are now. And they crash and burn then bail on all of it until … they get so angry and frustrated with themselves that they start the all-or-nothing cycle over again.

Sound familiar? If so, this week’s podcast episode is for you.

In this conversation, I talk to Mackenzie Griffith aka Coach Mac, a fitness and nutrition coach who created The Adventure Ready Academy, where the name of the game is helping rad humans become the fittest, strongest versions of themselves, all while having time and energy to go play and enjoy their lives. 

We bring our decades of combined coaching experience together to share what works and what doesn’t when it comes to creating sustainable, long-term fitness. We deep dive into the importance of a few key foundational fitness basics, how to avoid the all-or-nothing mindset trap that keeps people stalled out, and how to be more consistent without relying on discipline, motivation, or self-control.

They explore how to empower individuals to adapt their fitness routines to their lives, the significance of maintaining fitness during life changes, and the necessity of shifting goals for mental health. And we share the “secret” to health and fitness longevity flexibility in your approach and knowing when to dial things down to make them doable and when to dial things up to create change.

This episode is must listen for everyone, no matter where you are in your fitness journey.
