#373: Behavior Change After 40: Lessons From Training a Puppy

from The FIT40 Podcast · host Bryan Fitzsimmons

DESCRIPTIONIn this episode of the Fit40 Podcast, I break down one of the most unexpected but powerful comparisons I’ve seen in years… dog training and weight loss after 40. While training my new puppy, Teddy, I started noticing the exact same behavior change principles that determine whether people succeed or fail with fitness, nutrition, and consistency. We talk about why too much freedom sabotages progress, how positive reinforcement actually locks habits in for life, and what to do when motivation disappears and things get hard. If you’ve ever felt like you “know what to do” but can’t seem to stick with it, this episode will flip the way you think about weight loss for good.FIT40 LINKS✅ Feeling low on energy and out of shape but short on time?👉 Get the FIT40 Starter Kit here and start with short workouts and simple nutrition: https://fit40coaching.com/starterkit✅ Want a clear plan and someone to keep you on track?👉 Let’s talk about your goals and what you need in a Free Discovery Call: https://fit40coaching.com/discoverycallAFFILIATE LINKS:Try Tonal for 30 Days Risk Free: https://tonal.sjv.io/FIT40CONNECT WITH ME ONLINEFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/bryan.fitzsimmonsInstagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/coach_fitzz/⁠⁠⁠⁠Tiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@coach_fitzz?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@bryan_fit40 This is a public episode.
