The Power of the Environment | Ep 356
Welcome yet again to the Rise Method podcast, where we delve into everyday challenges and how best to overcome them for a healthier life.
In this latest episode, we dissect how unexpected life events and our environments can profoundly influence our fitness and health goals. This insightful discussion is based on a recent, unexpected power outage in Melbourne that impacted around half a million folks.
Our seasoned hosts, Steve and Laura, utilise this example to emphasize that occasional detours from a strict fitness regimen due to unforeseen situations are perfectly okay. They remind listeners that during such difficulties, survival comes before sticking to workout plans. Simultaneously, the duo stresses on the importance of bouncing back onto the fitness track without guilt.
The podcast takes an intriguing turn as Steve and Laura emphasise how our surrounding environment can considerably shape our fitness levels. They compare life stories and experiences, leading to the revelation that the lack of extra responsibilities, freedom of time, competitiveness, and minimal commuting, typically characteristic of a shared household in the 20s, is conducive to maintaining great physical shape.
Further in the discussion, our hosts present the idea of 'friction' as a powerful change tool in our environment – making certain activities harder and others easier. Strategies like hiding unhealthy food or keeping gym equipment within sight provide practical examples of how to apply this concept.
In the final part of the podcast, we probe the sustainability of willpower, discipline, and aggressive determination for maintaining healthy habits. A more feasible approach, according to our hosts, is making deliberate adjustments to our environment or even relocating if necessary.
Join us in this compelling episode of the Rise Method podcast and get a fresh insight on maintaining fitness no matter what life throws at you.

Together, they emphasize proficiency and execution over perfection.
Moving forward, the hosts discuss the fear of injury, a common concern affecting people's approach towards fitness.
