#76 - Janis's One-Year Transformation, In Her Own Words
from The Leaner You Podcast with Daniel Rosenthal and Santo Chiappetta · host Daniel Rosenthal
Janis spent a year and a half stuck in a chair-to-chair routine before something changed. In this episode she joins us to walk through her first year of coaching - the programs that didn't work before ours, the prayer she said in the shower, the moment her husband noticed she was back, and two falls down her deck stairs that could have derailed everything (but didn't).This episode covers strength training carryover to real life, the walking pad that removed her excuses, the emotional side of habit change, and what she'd tell anyone standing where she was a year ago.Find out more about coaching with us here: rosentrain.com/coachingFollow Daniel on Instagram: instagram.com/rosentrain/Follow Santo on Instagram: instagram.com/santo.chiappetta/Timestamps:0:00 - Meet Janis1:15 - Life before coaching: chair to chair2:03 - Cookie-cutter programs and coaches who didn't listen4:09 - The cauliflower story7:06 - How we connected on Instagram8:02 - The prayer and the poll10:34 - "I'm getting my wife back"13:23 - Why it's not just calories and workouts16:56 - Strength progress: planks, squats, deadlifts20:59 - The walking pad investment22:38 - Inch loss and measurements24:04 - Fitting into clothes she hadn't worn in years27:00 - Conscience with a British accent28:19 - The hardest part: trying new foods36:04 - Two falls down the stairs — and staying consistent anyway42:06 - Confidence, posture, and becoming "the fitness friend"43:44 - Goals for year two45:20 - Advice for anyone where Janis was a year agoThis podcast provides general fitness and nutrition information only.
