Think Fit is a podcast hosted by Tim Ford and Mike 'Robo' Robinson who have lost a combined weight of nearly 100kgs! We want to cut through the confusion and make people realise there isn't a secret to weight loss. That doesn't mean it has to be hard either. We will share stories based on our experiences. What worked, what doesn't and hopefully have some fun doing so. So if you are sick of all the confusion about losing weight and getting fit then tune in!

Think Fit Episode 120: Imposter Syndrome
01:02:05
We are back now that we are doing this show monthly to talk about Imposter Syndrome.
This is something that we have both experienced but maybe never been able to put a name to. We talk about the times where we have convinced ourselves that we are not good enough or that we have achieved something by luck. We look at the times we have noticed other people doing this around us and then we brainstorm the ways we think people can help manage these feelings.
Big shout out to Laura Johnston for providing the inspiration for this week's discussion.

Think Fit Episode 119: What is More Important? Diet, Cardio or Strength Training?
01:01:39
We all know the saying you can't outrun a bad diet but does that mean it is the most important thing when it comes to losing weight and being healthy?
This week we look at the pros and cons of each and give our thoughts on which are the most important and why. The answer might surprises you (or not because it is always going to be about balance.)
But we do look at the reasons why each of these are important and how a thorough understanding of them will enable you to lose weight quicker and keep it off!

Think Fit Episode 118: Using Your Mind to Successfully Make Positive Change with Bevan James Eyles
01:14:25
Team this episode is a goodie!
With Tim in Canada we decided to share an episode which has by far had a tremendous impact on us both individually but also how we try to highlight the importance of self reflection and building strategise
We were extremely lucky to be joined by Bevan James Eyles this week for one of the most engaging, entertaining and informative discussions we have ever been a part of (we weren't the funny, informative or engaging part.) We discussed the importance of identifying strategies to set yourself up for success, how to make sure you learn from your mistakes and not let them define you. We have an in-depth discussion about the power of optimism and how it can lead to a healthier life as well as so much more.
Honestly! This is not an attempt to get you to listen to the episode! It genuinely was just a great episode to record. Years ago Bevan started to go overboard with both drugs and alcohol until he woke up one day and didn't like who he was. He turned his life around and became not only an incredible athlete but is Internationally recognised as one of the best minds in fitness and has helped countless people to overcome their own barriers and make successful change in all aspects of their life. We are very proud to present this episode for you to listen to and we hope you get as much out of it as we did recording it.
Think Fit Episode 117: Setting Yourself Up With What You Have Available
01:00:04
So Robo wanted to talk about time (again) without realising that he brought up the same topic only a few episodes ago so instead we talk about how to ensure you are set up to use the time that you do have available.
We look at being realistic with yourself, understanding that there is often more time that goes into something like a one hour run than just an hour and getting your family on board. There is as always, good stuff here for people who are struggling to make a healthy change.

Think Fit Episode 116: Weight Loss Isn't Pass/Fail
01:01:52
It is all too easy to beat yourself up when you miss a gym session or grab a sneaky mac attack on your way home. These little missteps can often lead to feelings of failure or needing to 'reset' next Monday.
This week we want to emphasise that being healthy and losing weight isn't as simple as a pass/fail and that by approaching it that way we can often derail our best efforts and set ourselves back. We look at the need to accept our own limitations and the need to accept that slip-ups or failure are actually just part of the process.

Think Fit Episode 115: Sleep Yourself Skinny! The Importance of Sleep For Your Health
01:02:26
We all know it... Sleep is extremely important for our health and our weight. But forget the fancy science, this week we talk about how to develop good habits around sleep to make sure it doesn't affect your weight.
We discuss ways to help get to sleep, ways to know if you are too tired or just being a bit of a sook. We explain the ways you can develop the habit of getting up early to make time for exercise or work and even why we think you should consider napping if you can.
Hopefully this week we don't put you to sleep but you walk away understanding why your sleep-in might not be a bad thing after all!

Think Fit Episode 113: Avoiding Yo-Yo Weight Loss with Andrew Levins
01:03:42
With Robo still on his honeymoon we thought it was the perfect opportunity to check in with Andrew Levins on how he is going with his own weight loss and health journey 12 months on.
This week on Think Fit, we discuss the best ways to avoid drastic changes in your weight and make sure you don't put all the weight back on. Levins is a Dad and provides lots of great advice about how to prioritise both your health and your children's health. We get into the things we have both done to avoid yo-yoing as well as what those we have seen yo-yo did wrong.

Think Fit Episode 112: There Is No One-Size-Fits-All Weight Loss Solution
01:06:27
After an unplanned break, we are back this week to hit you all with a hard truth. There is no one perfect way for everyone to lose weight.
Just like some of us like pineapple on our pizza and other people are wrong, we will all have different levels of success when we try certain practices to lose weight. We talk about how to identify the approach that is correct for you and realise that while we are all different, there are some things that actually, everyone can do to be healthier. This episode is particularly focused on people who have been trying and failing to lose weight by following what other people have done.

Think Fit Episode 111: Kicking the Habits That Stop You Losing Weight
01:01:50
Despite your best intentions do you find that some habits just prevent you from losing weight? You can plan and prepare as much as possible but some things are just automatic?
This week we talk about the hardest habits we had to and still have to kick to be healthy! Some of these habits prevented us from losing weight for a long time and if left unchecked, see us put weight back on very quickly. Not only do we identify what those habits were, but we also talk about the things we did to stop them from getting in the way of our weight loss!
