Gen Z slang is rife with new words like "unalive," "skibidi" and "rizz." Where do these words come from — and how do they get popular so fast? Linguist Adam Aleksic explores how the forces of social media algorithms are reshaping the way people talk and view their very own identities.

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.

The Secret to Weight Loss | Ep 386 7:19

45 weeks ago7:19

7:19

In this episode of the Elevate Series, Steven Eskaf shares the powerful impact of changing your environment on your weight loss journey. Despite making no changes to his diet or training routine, Steven explains how he lost 3kg in just one month by simply altering his surroundings and daily habits. Returning to face-to-face personal training at a gym, Steven experienced an increase in physical activity, leading to significant changes in his body composition. He highlights how small adjustments in your environment can lead to powerful transformations without needing to overhaul your meal plan or workout strategy. Steven delves into how our environments shape our habits and identities, from taking more steps throughout the day to subconsciously making better food choices. Whether it’s joining a gym, changing your workspace, or adopting a new role, these environmental shifts can have a far more profound impact than meticulously following a perfect plan. Using a relatable analogy about saving money, Steven drives home the point that changing the environment is often more effective than focusing solely on the strategy. He challenges listeners to reflect on how they can make simple yet impactful changes to their surroundings to become the best version of themselves. Key Takeaways : Small environmental changes can lead to significant weight loss without altering your diet or exercise routine. Our surroundings shape our habits and ultimately, our identities. Strategies and plans are important, but changing the environment can create a bigger impact. Consider how you can adjust your environment to support your goals, whether it's fitness, health, or any other area of life. Take a moment to think about your own environment and how it influences your habits. Tune in for actionable advice that will help you rise to new levels of success in your fitness journey and beyond!

Why Am I Gaining Weight When Trying to Lose Weight? | Ep 385 10:35

46 weeks ago10:35

10:35

In this episode of the Elevate Series, Steven Eskaf tackles one of the most common frustrations in any weight loss journey – seeing the scale go up despite working hard to lose weight. Steven explains how various factors, including increased water intake, inflammation from new exercise routines, glycogen storage, and dietary changes, can lead to short-term weight gain without it being an actual increase in body fat. He highlights the importance of taking emotion out of the equation and applying logic to what’s happening inside the body. Using the analogy of learning two languages, Steven emphasizes the need to focus on one goal at a time – either fat loss or muscle building – for optimal results over time. He dives into how long-term body composition changes take time, and the scales may not always be a perfect reflection of progress, especially in the early stages of a fitness journey. This episode provides valuable advice for anyone feeling discouraged by short-term weight fluctuations and encourages you to trust the process. Steven breaks down practical steps to ensure you stay on track and keep rising, even when the numbers don’t seem to add up. Key Takeaways : Short-term weight gain doesn’t always mean fat gain. Factors like water retention, muscle glycogen storage, and increased fiber can affect scale weight. Focus on the bigger picture and don’t panic over day-to-day weight fluctuations. The importance of focusing on one goal at a time for long-term success. Tune in for actionable advice to help you stay the course in your weight loss journey!
