b'Editor\\u2019s Note: This is a re-broadcast. This episode originally aired in June 2018.\\xa0\\n\\nWhen you start a fitness program, you tend to spend most of your time thinking about the physical part \\u2014 what movements you\\u2019re going to do, how much weight you\\u2019re going to lift, or how far you\\u2019re going to run. But my guest\\xa0today argues we ignore the mental aspect of our training at our peril. His name is Bobby Maximus. He\\u2019s a world-renowned trainer known for his brutal circuit workouts and the author of the new book\\xa0Maximus Body.\\n\\nToday on the show Bobby and I dig into the psychology of fitness. We begin by discussing what holds people back from getting started or going further with their goals and how sticking little green dots all over your house can help you surmount those barriers. He then shares why it\\u2019s important to manage expectations when beginning a training program and why there are no shortcuts to any goal. We then shift gears and get into Bobby\\u2019s training philosophy. He shares how to train to be \\u201cready for everything,\\u201d why you need to do strength training before your endurance work, and why recovery is so important in reaching your fitness goals.\\xa0\\n\\nWe end our conversation with some examples of the \\u201cSunday\\xa0Sermons\\u201d Bobby shares on his website and a discussion of why perspective is important whenever you\\u2019re going through a hard time in life.\\xa0\\n\\nAfter the show is over, check out the show notes at\\xa0aom.is/maximus.'
