Ep.186 - From Burnout to Total Reset w/ Joel Staley

Описание: Getting in shape doesn’t have to mean extreme diets, endless cardio, or living in the gym.

In this episode of The Fitness Beginner Podcast, I’m joined by Joel Staley—fitness coach, dad, cancer survivor, and author of Total Reset. Joel has helped over 2,000 career-driven family men rebuild their health, energy, and confidence using resistance training, strategic fasting, and neuroscience-based behavior change.

We break down what sustainable fitness actually looks like for beginners—especially busy dads juggling work, family, and stress—and why most people fail when they try to rely on motivation alone. Joel shares practical, no-nonsense strategies to help you set realistic goals, build lasting habits, and finally enjoy the fitness process instead of dreading it.

If you’re tired of starting over, feeling burned out, or thinking it’s “too late” to get in shape, this episode will give you a clear path forward.
