Amanda Tress is a digital marketing consultant, mom of two wonderful children, and a personal trainer. Her passion revolves around improving the health and wellness of her clients. She’s been doing this for over ten years and transformed so many lives, more than just the physical aspect, but also when it comes to self-esteem and having a positive mindset.

Today, Amanda tells us how she got into this type of career, her struggles of maintaining her level of fitness after having her first child, what she advises to her clients when they come to her the first time, and provide some tips on how to keep the family as fit and healthy as they can get.

 

“When I had my kids, I really wanted to set a foundation and develop healthy lifestyle habits as early as possible.” Amanda Tress

 

 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Amanda, though an athlete and enthusiastic about exercise, lacked understanding of nutrition. Because of this, she was physically strong but had plenty of health issues particularly on her blood sugar.
  • After learning about nutrition, she also found out about intermittent fasting and she never looked back.
  • Being a personal trainer doesn’t mean she gets to exercise whenever she wants. Often times, her time is divided between training her clients and taking care of her family which leaves little time for her own fitness activities.
  • Every single person is different. Your lifestyle affects how much success you're going to have specially when it comes to fitness.
  • Being fit is not always about doing the best exercise or having the perfect diet. Sometimes you have to find out what’s causing you to have health issues first before you proceed to move forward.
  • Amanda tells us what worked for her before she had kids didn’t work after. She had to adjust without sacrificing her family or her fitness.
  • She motivates her clients by telling them to maintain a positive perspective and to set long-term goals.
  • Even stopping to consider what we're thankful for one time can reduce cortisol levels by 23% which is important for weight loss and overall wellness.
  • When eating treats, it’s important to teach your kids not to eat them mindlessly. Lay down some rules on when to eat them and why.
  • Probiotics are good but not all probiotics are created equal. Do your research before buying anything for health purposes.

 

Key Takeaways:

  • Being strong is more important than being pretty.
  • Sometimes we just need a little bit of an intermission from all the busyness of life.

Laurel Wassner is the first cancer survivor to win an Ironman Triathlon. Her story is no different than most survivors, only that she was diagnosed the year after she graduated college and when she was at the prime of her health. It took her six months’ worth of chemotherapy plus five long years of recovery to get back into fighting shape. Before she fully recovered, Laurel worked as a photographer’s intern and photo editor until she made a career out of being a triathlete in 2008. She competed twice at the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii and is currently training to compete again this year.

In this episode, Laurel shares her cancer survival story. She describes what it was like to hear she had an awful disease at such a young age and how it changed her perspective on life. She also explains the kind of training regimen she did post-chemotherapy as well as her diet, and shares tips for those who aspire to be triathletes.

 

“The best way to learn is learning from someone who's done it before.” Laurel Wassner

 

 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • What's missing with today's generation in terms of fitness?
  • How finding out she had cancer affected her and her thoughts on acquiring it despite having a fit lifestyle.
  • The type of training she did to get her fitness back.
  • How she mentally trained to be strong throughout her ordeal.
  • Why you don't need those who weren't there with you during your worst.
  • What her diet was like post-chemo.
  • What does a typical day look like to her?
  • How much food does a triathlete need on a daily basis?

 

Key Takeaways:

  • Being with a group can help motivate you to train and they might even lend you gear for competition.
  • You have to make choices. You can go down the negative road or the positive one. Sometimes, however, you're too tired to take the positive road and that's fine.
