Welcome back to RNT Fitness Radio.

Today, I’m joined by Coach Ivan, who’s flown in all the way from Australia to spend a few days with us here in the UK. While he’s over, we decided to hit record on a conversation we’ve been having behind the scenes — all about the concept of performance without pressure.

For most of my life, I’ve thrived on pressure. Big goals. High stakes. All-or-nothing thinking. It’s driven a lot of what I’ve achieved. But recently, I’ve started to question whether that pressure is still serving me — or if it’s just a part of an old identity I’ve outgrown.
In this episode, we unpack what it really means to perform at a high level without constantly chasing, grinding, or forcing outcomes. It’s a reflective and real conversation, and I hope it sparks something for you too.

Let’s dive in.

Hey, it’s Akash here, and on this week’s episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I’m bringing back a classic - a rerun of what’s still the most popular team episode we’ve ever recorded.

It’s called “What Typical Mindfulness Is Missing”, and over the years, it’s racked up tens of thousands of downloads. I think it struck it chord when it dropped because it tackled a conversation we have often behind the scenes at RNT - the idea that you can’t just think your way to a transformation.

Mindfulness is powerful, and it absolutely has its place. But on its own, it’s not enough. Just like physical change isn’t the full picture either. What we’re really after - and what this episode explores - is a holistic approach that blends mind, body, and action.

This originally aired four or five years ago, but the message is just as relevant today - if not more. I hope you enjoy revisiting it.
