Welcome back to the 8 Days A Week Podcast where Coach Adam Cobb and guests will help you come alive and find your center! If you missed the first episode of 2020 with Lindsay Wojciechowski, you can listen here. For this episode, Adam virtually sat down with Todd McCullough to chat about all things fitness, faith, and wellness. Adam and Todd dive into their morning and evening routines, how they find joy, and how they embrace rest.

Making Big Moves

• “The one thing in life that’s constant is change.”
• Todd shares how he confronts adversity through having control of his morning routine.
• He recalls a time he was visiting Santa Barbara and he kept seeing an older woman out in the cold water with no wet suit. He shares the moment he asked her about why she did it and how her response solidified in his heart that he was meant to live in Santa Barbara.

Moments of Rest

• Todd’s morning routine: moment of gratitude, lifting up a loved one, visualize what success looks like today, be still and listen to the sounds of the room and the rise and fall of your breath.
• “Through the struggles that we all have, there is an opportunity for greatness on the other side.”
• Adam shares that he asks God questions at night and listens for the answers in the morning. Every night he journals in his 5 Year Journal: “What was the beauty in my day?”

The Truth About Wellness

• “Wellness is more than just burpees and Kale. It’s also your emotional and spiritual wellness.”
• Todd shares that people often tell him that the physical changes they experience from working with him are secondary to the emotional and spiritual changes they experience.

Todd’s question for you is: What is the one thing you are going to do today to better your life and the lives of those around you?

When I read the quote above, I am truly inspired to live the healthiest life possible. It’s not about how many years we live but how many healthy years we enjoy. 

Over the last 10 years people have shared with me that I inspire them through my limitless energy, positive outlook and ability to practice what I preach about living a healthy and balanced lifestyle.

Over the next 60 days leading up to the new year and new you, I challenge you and I challenge myself to achieve optimal health. My clients, family, and friends, know my philosophy on waiting till new years or the all too popular, “I’ll wait till Monday.”

Our time is now, losers wait till Monday or the New Year, winners take “wait” out of their vocabulary along with its sexy cousin “try” and replace them with “act” and “do”.

In reality, “it” may never come because you are waiting for the perfect time, the time when your life is more balanced. Balance is achieved with a solid foundation built on mind, body, and spirit. Be bold and build your balance today. 

The 60 Day Challenge is officially on. Join me, and the FYCNYC movement, in raising your personal bar. The holidays are coming. Enjoy all they have to offer, the quality family time, the traditions, the food, but this year make a difference within your immediate community, your family. Choose this season to instill a healthier lifestyle by sharing nutrition tips, healthy recipes, a new exercise, mindfulness moments, sharing is caring.

Gandhi says, “be the change you wish to see in the world”.

Change is good but progress is better, remember change takes no talent, ie. time changes, therefore change doesn’t always mean progress. Record your monthly, weekly, or even daily, progress as I guide you and interact with you on this exciting journey.

When people find out that I am a minister of health, the first question is, “What do I eat?” The second is, “How many days do I workout?” Over the next 60 days I’m going to answer those questions and many more. My mission is to teach you to win every day of your life. Everything from my breakfast, what I did that day for exercise, favorite supplement, daily tips, insights from leaders and mentors in the field of wellness, what is the best organic restaurant in new york city, what snacks will increase your metabolism and delay aging, FYC videos, video recommendations and the most important thing, an accountability coach.
