Training vs. Exercise - Why your environments are ruining your growth

Is your approach toward your training actually helping you progress, or are you just spinning your wheels for the sake of motion? In this episode of the TFE Podcast, we break down the key differences between *training* and *exercise* - and why understanding this distinction is crucial for real, measurable growth.

We often see people hit the gym without a clear plan, failing to realize that their environment might be holding them back more than their effort. We dive deep into the *importance of your training environment* and how factors like gym culture, exercise selection, and even the people around you can impact your results. But it doesn’t stop there - your *personal environment* outside the gym plays just as big of a role. The way you eat, recover, and structure your daily habits can make or break your progress, no matter how hard you train.

Plus, we’ll cover the *six primal movement planes* that every athlete needs to master for a well-rounded foundation. Neglecting these fundamental patterns leads to imbalances, plateaus, and even injuries. And if you think accessory exercises are just extra fluff, think again - we’ll explain why they’re the key to unlocking your full potential and ensuring long-term strength and resilience.

If you’re tired of feeling stuck and want to build an efficient, more effective training approach, this episode is for you.
