Tom The Trainer's Fitness Over 40

In this episode, I break down the mindset traps that quietly sabotage your results, especially when life gets chaotic.I talk about why discipline isn’t about being perfect, but about learning to make strong decisions when emotions are high, stress is up, and your routine goes off track.I share how to recognize the “spiral moments” before they take over, how to anchor yourself back into structure, and how to regain control even on the days where nothing seems to go your way.I also walk through how to reconnect with your goals when motivation dips, why we often abandon the basics when we need them most, and how to rebuild momentum without guilt, shame, or all-or-nothing thinking.If you’ve been feeling stretched thin or frustrated with inconsistency, this one will hit home.And if you want to transform your body, message me the word "Coaching" on IG at Tomthetrainerfitness, Facebook at Tom Trainer Mouland, or Book a Free Strategy Call 👉 https://tomthetrainerfitness.com/dominate to apply for coachingHave the best day ever!

In this week’s Tribe Q&A, I went deep on the two things beginners struggle with most: building a diet that actually works and choosing the right training split. I break down why full-body training is the best place to start, why awareness beats every fad diet, and how planning your meals like you plan your work schedule is the real cheat code for long-term results.I also tackle questions around shoulder popping, training with injuries, adductor and abductor strength, and why some machines in the gym deserve every bit of hate they get. This one is packed with no-BS advice, practical fixes, and a whole lot of spicy Tom-isms.And if you want to transform your body, message me the word "Coaching" on IG at Tomthetrainerfitness, Facebook at Tom Trainer Mouland, or Book a Free Strategy Call 👉 https://tomthetrainerfitness.com/dominate to apply for coachingHave the best day ever!

In this week’s Tribe Q&A, I dive into some killer questions from the community, starting with why the hip thrust might not be the glute builder everyone thinks it is, and what I believe actually drives real muscle growth. I break down how to structure your workouts for maximum hypertrophy, why you need to earn the right to bulk, and how to stop spinning your wheels with the bulk–cut yo-yo. We also talk about why animal protein is king when it comes to building muscle, how to actually strengthen your ankles for better training, and I even go off a bit about science bros versus real-world experience in the gym.It’s raw, practical, and packed with straight talk for people who actually train hard.And if you want to transform your body, message me the word "Coaching" on IG at Tomthetrainerfitness, Facebook at Tom Trainer Mouland, or Book a Free Strategy Call 👉 https://tomthetrainerfitness.com/dominate to apply for coachingHave the best day ever!

In this episode, I sat down with coach Nate Cavicchi, who’s about to welcome his first child and is figuring out how to balance fitness, family, and a brand-new life chapter. We talked about what it really looks like to train when time isn’t on your side, how to lay a solid foundation before life gets busy, and why “anything is better than nothing” when it comes to movement.We also dove into how becoming a parent forces you to rethink priorities, fitness, faith, finances, and fun, and how to manage your capacity, distractions, and boundaries without losing yourself in the chaos. Nate shared practical ways he’s preparing for fatherhood while staying strong mentally and physically, and how his mindset as a coach helps him (and his clients) keep showing up even when life shifts.Tune in and follow Nate on his socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cavicchifit/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nate.cavicchiHave the best day ever!

In this week’s free coaching Q&A inside The Tribe, I’m answering your questions on low-carb diets while training, the best 3-day split for muscle growth, how to manage recovery on intense programs like the Cluster Muscle Method, and why consistency, not perfection, is what truly drives results.I share how I personally set up my carbs around workouts during a photoshoot prep, break down how to know when you need a deload, and explain why most people keep spinning their wheels by constantly switching approaches instead of mastering the basics.

In this episode, I sit down again with Adam Poehlmann and we dive into the truth behind fat loss, habits, and personal responsibility in fitness. We talk about why tracking and honesty matter so much, how excuses get reinforced by fitness marketing, and why it’s so important to empower people instead of coddling them. We also hit on social media culture, integrity as a coach, and what actually moves the needle when you’re trying to change your body, especially if you’re busy, over 30, and want sustainable results.If you’re tired of the “it’s your metabolism” narrative and want real talk about what it takes to level up, this one’s for you.Tune in and follow Adam on his socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adampoehlmann?igsh=ZTJuM285OGowbG4wFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1GnBaF2GQJ/?mibextid=wwXIfrHave the best day ever!

In this episode, I went off a bit, in a good way. We talked lunges, stability, and how to actually progress your lower-body training without wrecking your knees or spinning your wheels. I broke down why most people struggle with walking lunges, how to fix knee pain and wobbling, and when to regress an exercise to earn the right to progress it.And yeah… I also ranted about gym ego, influencer BS, and why most people need to stop chasing “aesthetic weak-point hacks” and master fundamentals first. If you train over 40 and want bulletproof legs, better posture, and smarter progression, without the ego, this episode’s for you.And if you want to transform your body, message me the word "Coaching" on IG at Tomthetrainerfitness, Facebook at Tom Trainer Mouland, or Book a Free Strategy Call 👉 https://tomthetrainerfitness.com/dominate to apply for coachingHave the best day ever!

In this episode, I sit down with coach Casey Gilbert for an honest conversation on mindset, growth, and authenticity. We dive into how uncovering your true “why” can change everything, why mindset is the real catalyst behind physical results, and the power of tools like journaling, manifestation, and even recording messages to your future self.Casey and I also talk about seasons of life, learning to give yourself grace, and how resistance, whether in the gym or in life, can be the very thing that makes you stronger.
