You don’t need more time.
You need a better plan.
I hear the same thing almost every day.
“I know I should train more. I just don’t have the time.”
And I get it. Truly.
Most adults are juggling work, kids, commutes, deadlines, stress, and a phone that never stops buzzing. By the time the day is over, the idea of carving out an hour to “go work out” feels unrealistic.
But here’s the part most people don’t realize.
The average American adult spends seven to nine hours a day looking at screens.
More than three hours a day watching TV.
And close to ten hours a day sitting between work, driving, and scrolling.
So the issue usually isn’t a lack of time.
It’s that fitness has been positioned as something that has to compete with everything else in your life.
And when that happens, it always loses.
Most gyms are built around motivation.
They assume your schedule is flexible.
They assume you’ll figure things out on your own.
They assume life will “calm down soon.”
It doesn’t.
That’s why so many busy adults bounce between programs, start over every few months, or slowly accept feeling more tired, stiffer, and weaker each year.
Not because they’re lazy.
Because they never had a real plan.
At Jeremy Scott Fitness here in Scottsdale, we built things differently on purpose.
The goal was never to create the hardest workouts or the flashiest classes.
The goal was to create fitness that fits real life.
That means structure.
Clear expectations.
Efficient training that respects your time.
Coaching so you’re not guessing.
Accountability so you don’t disappear when things get busy.
It also means options.
Some weeks you train in the gym with a coach who knows your name and your history.
Other weeks life gets chaotic, and you follow a structured plan inside our app instead of doing nothing at all.
Same standards.
Same philosophy.
No guilt. No falling off. No starting over.
Because the real issue for most adults isn’t effort.
It’s that their fitness plan was never built for the life they’re actually living.
The long workdays.
The stress.
The kids’ schedules.
The travel.
The mental load.
If your current routine feels like it’s constantly losing to life, that’s not a personal failure.
That’s a programming problem.
And it’s fixable.
If you’re looking for fitness that supports your life instead of competing with it, that’s exactly what we do at Jeremy Scott Fitness in Scottsdale.

3 Fitness Lies Keeping Adults Over 40 Stuck (You Were Sold These)
If you’re over 40 and feel like fat loss is harder than it should be, this is probably why.
Most people aren’t failing because of effort.
They’re failing because they were sold bad information.
Here are 3 of the biggest fitness lies adults over 40 were told
Lie #1: “Your metabolism is broken because you’re getting older.”
Fact: Metabolism doesn’t suddenly crash at 40.
Research shows metabolic rate stays relatively stable until your 60s. What actually changes is muscle mass, daily movement, sleep, and stress ......all things you can control.
Lie #2: “Eat less as you get older.”
Fact: Chronic under-eating slows metabolism and hormones.
Studies show higher protein intake and resistance training improve body composition, muscle retention, and metabolic health in adults over 40.
Lie #3: “Cheat meals keep your metabolism high.”
Fact: Cheat meals often derail consistency more than they help.
Momentum, structure, and adherence matter more than occasional high-calorie meals.... especially early in a transformation.
These lies keep people stuck in the same loop for years.
I broke all of this down in a recent podcast episode and explained:
Why fat loss actually feels harder with age
What to focus on instead
How to stop restarting every Monday
Listen to the full episode here:
podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fitness-lies-adults-…
If this hit home, start questioning the advice you’ve been following.
Most of it wasn’t built for your body or your life.
As always any questions just ask I am happy to answer.

If you have trained with us or followed our programming, you have probably noticed something.
We carry things.
A lot.
Farmer carries.
Suitcase carries.
Goblet carries.
Overhead carries.
Single arm carries.
That is not by accident.
Loaded carries are one of the most effective total body and core exercises you can do, especially for busy adults who want real strength that carries over to everyday life.
Here is why we use them so often in our Scottsdale gym.
1. They train your core the way it is actually designed to work
Your core is not meant to do endless crunches.
Its job is to stabilize, resist movement, and protect your spine.
Loaded carries force your core to stay engaged while you move, breathe, and stay upright under load.
Research consistently shows carries create high activation of the abs, obliques, and deep core muscles without stressing the lower back.
2. They build real world strength
Carrying groceries.
Picking up kids.
Moving boxes.
Living life.
Loaded carries train grip, shoulders, hips, and trunk together, which is how your body actually works outside the gym.
That is why we program them for adults who care about strength, durability, and independence as they age.
3. They improve posture and reduce injury risk
Most people sit all day and then wonder why their back or shoulders hurt.
Carries reinforce upright posture, shoulder stability, and spinal control.
Studies show loaded carries improve joint integrity and postural strength when performed correctly and progressively.
4. They deliver a lot in very little time
Loaded carries raise your heart rate fast while building strength and core stability at the same time.
You get strength work, core training, and conditioning in one movement.
That matters when time is limited.
5. They support long term health and longevity
Grip strength alone has been linked in research to lower all cause mortality and better overall health outcomes.
Loaded carries train grip strength, muscle mass, and coordination, all key factors for aging well.
This is exactly how we train clients inside Jeremy Scott Fitness.
And it is built into the same programming inside our app.
If you want to experience this style of training for yourself, you can try it for free.
Get a free week inside the JSF App HERE and train exactly how we coach clients in our Scottsdale gym.
No pressure.
No hype.
Just smart training that works.
As always any questions just ask I am happy to answer.
Until next time eat well, train hard & be nice to people.

Most people think the answer is doing more.
More work.
More money.
More goals.
More grind.
But what no one warns you about is what usually gets taken in exchange.
Less patience.
Less energy.
Less health.
Less time with the people you actually care about.
You push for the raise… and six weeks later it’s just your workload with a new title.
You finally clear your schedule for “after this launch”… and another deadline immediately replaces it.
Nothing really changes....except you’re a little more tired than before.
Trust me I lived this for well over 10 years consistently.
That’s how people get stuck.
Always moving.
Always busy.
Always saying, “Just give me a little more time.”
And slowly, without realizing it, they start trading the important stuff for the urgent stuff.
Your workouts get skipped because work was “crazy.”
Dinners get rushed.
Weekends turn into recovery from the week instead of time with your family.
Here’s the part that should stop you in your tracks:
The emails you’re stressing over today won’t matter in five months let alone in 5 years.
But your kids will remember if you were short-tempered, exhausted, or not around.
Most people don’t quit on their health on purpose.
They postpone it.... delay it for another day.
“I’ll get consistent when things slow down.”
“I’ll start training when I have more energy.”
“I’ll focus on myself once this season is over.”
That season never ends.
Your body keeps score whether you’re ready or not.
Your energy doesn’t wait.
Your life doesn’t hit pause.
Health isn’t something you earn after success.
It’s what allows you to enjoy success in the first place.
That’s the real game.

Skipping the Cheat Meal....
The Mental Win That Changes Everything...
New Podcast Episode I go into great depth on cheat meals CLICK HERE to listen. - podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/skipping-the-cheat-m…
Alright.
I want to talk about something small.
Something most people overlook.
But something that can completely change the direction of your results.
Skipping the cheat meal this week.
I know how that sounds.
People hear that and think punishment.
Restriction.
Misery.
That’s not what this is.
This is leverage.
Most people don’t fail because they don’t know what to do.
They fail because they negotiate with themselves too early.
They start strong Monday.
Tuesday feels good.
By Friday, they’re already planning the reward.
And here’s the problem.
Early in a transformation, momentum is fragile.
And cheat meals—especially early—break momentum.
Let’s talk about what actually happens when you skip it.
First, the physical benefits.
And these show up fast.
When you skip the cheat meal for one week, digestion improves.
Less bloating.
Less inflammation.
More stable energy.
Better sleep.
You don’t wake up Monday feeling like you need to “get back on track.”
You wake up already moving forward.
Your workouts feel better.
Your body feels cleaner.
Lighter.
But the real win isn’t physical.
It’s mental.
When you skip that cheat meal, you keep a promise to yourself.
You don’t negotiate.
You don’t justify.
You don’t say, “I earned it.”
You just follow through.
And that does something powerful.
Your confidence goes up.
Cravings lose power.
Your identity shifts.
You stop seeing yourself as someone who’s “trying.”
And you start seeing yourself as someone who does what they say they’re going to do.
Discipline feels heavy…
Until you practice it.
Then it feels freeing.
This is delayed gratification.
And delayed gratification accelerates results.
Not because of calories.
Because of behavior.
One disciplined decision makes the next decision easier.
You eat better the next day.
You train harder.
You stay consistent.
You stop swinging between “all in” and “screw it.”
This is how momentum is built.
Motivation is emotional.
Momentum is mechanical.
Momentum doesn’t care how you feel.
It just needs one win to keep moving.
And skipping the cheat meal is a win most people never give themselves.
This is especially powerful if you’re just starting.
If you’re starting over—again.
If weekends are where everything falls apart.
You don’t need more flexibility right now.
You need structure.
And let me be clear.
Cheat meals aren’t bad.
They’re a tool.
But tools used too early become crutches.
Freedom comes after discipline.
Not before it.
So here’s the simple action step.
Just skip it this week.
One week.
Eat real food.
Eat enough.
Just don’t turn food into a reward.
Pay attention to how you feel.
Your energy.
Your sleep.
Your confidence.
Notice how much easier next week feels.
Because the cheat meal you didn’t eat…
Might be the reason this finally sticks.
Not because of fat loss.
But because you proved to yourself that you’re in control.
And once you have that—
Everything accelerates.

As always any questions just ask I am happy to answer.

If the last few weeks wrecked your eating, energy, or consistency you’re not alone.
Between holiday meals, extra drinks, and a broken routine, most people start January feeling tired, bloated, and behind already.
Here’s the good news: you don’t need a full reset or extreme plan to turn it around.
You need simple, proven upgrades you can stick to.
These are three staples I personally use and recommend to clean things up fast:
First, AG1. One scoop a day covers your vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and gut health support. It’s the easiest way to improve energy, digestion, immunity, and overall nutrition without overthinking it. FREE Samples available (FREE 1 Year Supply of Vitamin D3/K2 with order one
Grab it here:
www.DrinkAG1.com/jeremyscott
Second, creatine from Substance. Creatine is one of the most researched supplements there is. It improves strength, training output, muscle performance, and even cognitive function. If you train at all, this is a no-brainer. 5g per day is my daily routine
Use code JSF to save 10% here:
lddy.no/1ndi1
Third, JayLab Pro. Clean, high-quality supplements without the BS. Protein, omegas, gut health — everything you actually need, nothing you don’t.
Right now you can save 25% off anything with code NY25:
jeremyscottfitness.jaylabpro.com/products.html
You don’t need perfection right now.
You need momentum.
Fix your daily nutrition.
Train harder.
Recover better.
These three help you do exactly that.
Start stacking small wins and the rest gets easier.
Pair these with a solid training plan and you’ll feel the difference fast.

If you’re reading this with a slightly tight waistband and a fridge full of holiday leftovers… you are not alone.
The last few weeks were supposed to be fun and they were....but now that the countdown to the New Year is over… reality is hitting:
The eating got sloppy.
The drinks stayed flowing.
That “one last cookie” turned into six.
We’ve all been there, but today is the day you take your health back.
Because here’s the truth: you can get lean, defined, and shredded without starving yourself, treating the gym like punishment, or pretending you’re 25 again.
That’s exactly why we built Old Man Shredded Program HERE
Old Man Shredded is the no-nonsense 10-week program designed for real men and women who want:
Visible abs and lean muscle
Strength that doesn’t wreck your joints
Mobility that keeps you moving like a younger man or women
A plan...not guesswork that’s built for busy lives and real results
No more holiday guilt.
No more “I’ll start Monday.”
No more spinning wheels and zero progress.
This is your plan: balanced, strategic, and built with honest coaching, follow-along workouts, and a shred-specific nutrition playbook that doesn’t require tracking every gram.
Start Strong. Get Shredded. Feel in control again.
It starts now.
Join Old Man Shredded here:

Let’s make 2026 the year you finally take control with a plan that works for you, not against you.
Real results. Real strength. Real confidence ....no excuses.
This program is for men (and women) who want to look in the mirror and actually like what they see. Let’s do this.
As always any questions just ask I am happy to answer.
