Breaking Records & Building Habits: Fitness and Goal Setting with Byron Munford

Join Doug Bennett as he sits down with Bryon, the performance coach. Bryon Munford is the founder of Lifestyle Revolution and for 17 years he has been working in fitness and helping busy professionals optimise their health and performance for work in as little as three hours a week. Doug shares how he uses goals to help people build good lifestyle habits. Don’t wait for a health scare to make your wellbeing your top priority. Instead, use Byron’s practical tips to take charge of your health now—so you can keep life’s worries in perspective and stay ahead of serious illness. KEY TAKEAWAYS Goals need to be related to things that are genuinely important to you. Having a strong "why" will keep you motivated. Set both short-term (quick wins) and long-term goals. Writing down goals and visualizing success are both powerful habits. Believe, See, Achieve. Byron’s coaching is based on six pillars — mindset, stress management, sleep, nutrition, hydration, exercise/movement. Exercise is not enough; you need balance in all of these areas. Sleep is critical for optimal performance. Less than six hours of sleep can impair cognitive function as much as getting drunk does. You have to move every day. If your brain is exhausted and your body is not, you will not sleep well. Stress can’t be eliminated, but it can be managed. You can stop stress levels building up over the course of days or weeks. Proper hydration, including electrolytes, is essential for performance and focus. Tailor what you eat to fit in with your activity levels and goals. The quality of what you eat is more important than calorie counting. Use whatever time you have available for exercise, even if it’s just 10 minutes. Move every day. Plan workouts first in your schedule to ensure consistency. BEST MOMENTS "I help busy professionals optimise their health and performance for work in as little as three hours a week. If your business is doing well, but your health is not, you need to come see me." "A lot of people don´t get out of their own way." “Time for yourself is badly under-rated.” “Some people work better with higher carbs. Some people work better with higher fats.” "You could see problems, or you could see possibilities. You could focus on the barrier - what's in the way or focus on the solution." "The more times you write it down, the more your brain believes it's going to happen. Because you see it." "Move like your life depends on it, because it does."
