You may know that you’re way more successful at doing the things that help you lose weight when you have somebody to be accountable to.

And you may also have found that when you *don’t*, you have a hard time being accountable to yourself.

My guest, Allan Misner, and I are talking all about extrinsic and intrinsic motivation today and how to better understand the 5 types of mindsets that you’re likely to experience on the path toward living your healthiest life.

Once you know what they are, you can use them to your advantage rather than feel like you’re at the mercy of motivation.

Coach Allan Misner is a National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) Certified Personal Trainer, a Precision Nutrition Level II Master Health Coach, and a Functional Aging Institute (FAI) Certified Functional Aging Specialist.He provides online one-on-one and group nutrition and fitness Coaching for clients over the age of 40. 

He is the host of the 40+ Fitness Podcast, the largest and longest running health and fitness podcast for people over 40.

He is also the author of the award-winning book, The Wellness Roadmap: a Straightforward Guide to Health and Fitness After 40.

He and his wife also run Lula’s Bed and Breakfast in Bocas del Toro, Panama.
