If you were once an athlete, then this episode is for you. If you have the desire to be the most in shape dad that you know, then this is how you start. Too many men work the extremes when it comes to their health and fitness. Either they do nothing because they don't have time and don't know what to do, or they go balls to the wall, burn out, then repeat, with little to show for their efforts. In this episode, I start with the mindset and then I tell you a few simple ideas that you can begin with. Momentum is the most powerful force on earth, use it to your advantage.

In this episode, I share the mental construct and fraemwork that you need to have to succeed in the fat loss war. It all begins with making a true decision. Once that is made, you need to have clarity. When clarity is present, you will take the right actions. There's a big difference between taking the right actions and the wrong actions. If you can pick up on what I am laying down in this episode, you can have fat loss that may have seemed impossible up until now. Let me know any questions and enjoy the episode!

This past weekend, I stopped to witness an inspiring action taken by a lady. She was at the front steps of my gym, Newell Strength. She proceeded to hit a calisthenics workout, all on her own, with modified pushups and squats. I don't believe she had an appointment, because the gym was closed at the time. And to be honest, I was not in the talkative type of mood, so I didn't stop to say hello. This lady found the inspiration to change her environment and go to a gym, a gym that was closed, because she probably found inspiration there, at our front steps. She was putting in the work, when no one was looking. Do you have any idea how hard it is to climb the mountain of fitness when you have a long way to go? It's damn hard, and that is why people like her are always the ones that inspire me most. Wherever you are at in life, no matter what the current obstacle is, just take one step towards victory. That's it. Be Unconventional, Kyle Newell aka Panda Man P.S. - If you need help, shoot me a a text and we can have a chat about my new program for dads. 908-229-6666

I had a rude awakening this past week and it was a great thing! As I found myself trying to apply old ways and old patterns to my current knee rehab, I got smacked down in more ways than one. There are lessons I am supposed to learn from this experience and I continued on the old path with my old ways, I would fail to reap the benefits of those lessons. In this episode, I share my experiences from this past week and challenge you to think about what lessons you maybe are supposed to be learning from whatever your current struggles are.

Tough stuff is going to happen to us in life. I have believed forever that no matter if we had any hand in the event, we can always be in control because we can always control our attitude. I just had my third knee surgery, while also knowing that I will have another, more extensive fourth surgery in 4-5 months. It's a blessing because I believe it's a blessing. In this episode, I go over a few insights that you can use right away, today, this week, to turn those victimhood thoughts into thoughts of victory. IT'S ALL MIND!!!

We are right around the corner from Father's Day here in the States. Which means that it's time to pause and reflect. Others will celebrate us, if we are lucky, but for me, it's time to reflect and evaluate my 'DAD STACK'. In this episode, I go over the components that make up the DAD STACK, including your: ability to create wealth, your faith, marriage, fitness/ability to protect, learning and knowledge, outdoor skills, play and Coaching. The time that we have as fathers is precious and the worst thing in the world would be to look back and say, 'I could've done more as a father for myself and my family.' Take a listen, evaluate yourself and then decide what area you want to level up. Be Unconventional, Kyle Newell aka Panda Man P.S. - I cover this in more depth with a whole bunch of other great insights including fasting for fathers, training and mindset in my RIPPED DADS book which you can find here: https://a.co/d/0hvpl5p7

Four and a half years ago, I tried Kratom leaf extract. I then progressed to using the 7-OH extract for a performance boost in my training. From there, the issue spiraled out of control. I know there are many of you out there struggling with this poison right now, but don't lose hope. I was hesitant to make this episode because of what I do for a living but this is one of the reasons I struggled with 7-OH I believe…to help others going through their own addiction to it right now. Take a listen and see if anything resonates with you. Feel free to drop a comment or question below. If you have a win you'd like to share, share it. If you are struggling, let us know. The first step is to break the hold of guilt and shame that comes with any addiction. Be Unconventional, Kyle Newell aka Panda Man Reach out if you need my help: 908-229-6666

6 years ago today, I made a decision to open Newell Strength, despite the strict government orders. It was a moment in time where Devon and I knew that we had to live by our principles and values, no matter the cost. In case you forgot, nearly everyone was following the orders and if you went against the narrative, people were going to judge you, threaten you and more. Luckily, I've never been much of a follower, especially when it comes to following something that I don't believe in. In this episode, I recall the day we opened, May 18th 2020, and what perspired the rest of the week. It was a wild time, with a lot of unknowns. And I would do it again in a heartbeat.

In this episode of "Unlocking Your Inner Strength," Kyle celebrated the 15-year anniversary of Neural Strength, reflecting on his journey from starting the business in 2007 while teaching to opening his first gym in 2011. Kyle shared how he began by training clients out of his car and later in his parents' basement before eventually opening his own facility focused on athletes and men. He discussed key milestones including moving to a larger space in 2012, deciding to leave teaching in 2013, and opening a second location in Flemington in 2018. Kyle also highlighted how he overcame challenges like Hurricane Sandy damaging the gym and the COVID-19 pandemic, emphasizing the importance of faith, enthusiasm, and taking action despite uncertainty.

Last night, after dinner, I was having a conversation with Braxton about the mind. For a ten year old, he is amazing in my eyes because he is so interested in learning about concepts like mindset and theater of the mind. Anyways, I told him that the mind works much the same as the belt system in martial arts. We all start out as white belts and then it's up to us, as individuals, to advance up the ranks. Each day and each week, we are given experiences in the form of mental and spiritual resistance training that can add another stripe to our mental belt. Unfortunately, most people shrink away from these types of resistance training sessions because they feel like a struggle. And that's because they are a struggle, but struggling is a good thing! That is where learning and growth comes from. In today's episode, I discuss what each level of belt looks like in terms of learning, awareness, mindset and approach. I close out with sharing some concepts with you that have worked for me and that will get you to begin to think differently. As you advance up the ranks, you will be faced with more advanced 'opponents', and to eventually beat those opponents, you wll have to use a different line of thought. Let me know any questions and don't forget to leave a review if you haven't already, it helps the show out a lot! Thanks in advance!
