139: The ROI of Health and Fitness with Sam Johnston
This episode starts out full force and doesn’t slow down as Taylor and Sam Johnston, of Alpha Body System, kick off the discussion by talking about the power and need to invest in ourselves, specifically our health. Taylor mentions something profound that Sam dives into with more detail. This is the sense that many of us don’t even know what “good” feels or looks like. This is why investing in our own personal health and fitness is necessary. We see so many on the “after” side of the fitness journey and think that can never happen for us because we are in the “before.” We become complacent with the way things are. But when we start our wellness journey, all of the obstacles we face (like chronic illness) fade away, and feeling good starts to take on new meaning.

With Sam’s challenge to us that we should be radically different from others in our lives and to “be the weirdo,” the discussion transitions to the different ways and actions we can take to be able to invest in ourselves with everyone’s favorite word– free. Taylor suggests things we have heard on the podcast before but become so much more meaningful when we think about the different benefits they could provide to us in the future. Things like sun exposure– watch the sunrise, guys. Taylor will even give you bonus points when you watch the sunrise barefoot! Get your body moving and go for a walk. Don’t forget about the power of in-person meetings and connections, even physical touch. The all-important aspect of sleep. Practice your breathing– deep breathing, extend your exhale, maybe even breathing for performance as Taylor talks about as well. Finally, invest in your mindfulness as well with journaling and/or meditation. These are all things that are free, readily available, and can be done immediately.

But what if you want to kick it up a notch? Invest in yourself financially, maybe? Both Taylor and Sam agree that the best way to go about this is to hire a coach. Whatever area of life you are trying to improve upon, hiring a coach could be the answer you are looking for. It will save you time which is a return on investment in more than one way.
