Ep 58: How to Make Time for Exercise as a Busy Professional Musician
I've worked with many professional musicians over my coaching career, including full time orchestra musicians, DJs, music educators, freelancers and studio musicians.
One thing that all these different folks share is that they have very busy, very unpredictable schedules.
They're often running around town for rehearsals, lessons, gigs and recording sessions.
They work at odd hours including nights and weekends.
In addition to their paid responsibilities and regular adulting tasks, they also have to make time to practice or make music.
It's no wonder that many musicians struggle to stick with an exercise routine.
Over the years, I've helped my busy professional musician clients make more time for exercise.
Our approach is usually not perfect, and that's okay. What matters most is to develop your own level of consistency and keeping showing up for months and years.
Check out the most recent episode of my podcast for my top 5 tips to make time for exercise as a busy professional musician.

Ep 57: Why You're Not Losing Weight Despite Crushing Your Workouts
Every wondered why you aren't losing weight despite lots of hard exercise? Listen to this episode.
I recently had a conversation with a friend who wants to lose weight and was upset about the latest weigh-in at her gym.
Despite pushing herself and making good progress with her workouts, the scale hadn't budged in several months.
She wondered if she should add more workouts or try to go even harder.
But when I asked my friend if she had made any changes to her eating habits during that time, the honest answer was "no."
Our conversation inspired this new episode of my "Building Stronger Creatives" podcast, because I think it speaks to some key misconceptions about fat loss.
I discuss what it actually takes to lose fat - and why focusing too much on intense exercise is ineffective at best and counterproductive at worst.
I also share the REAL biggest benefits of working out, and why I think all creatives should exercise even if they don't want to lose fat or aren’t ready to diet.
Spoiler alert: burning calories doesn’t make the list.
Check it out and share with someone who's been struggling to lose weight despite consistent exercise.
