He's been training clients at 4am for 20 years. Here is what he knows that you don't.

Most people trying to lose weight are doing it in the wrong order. Cardio is not the answer — a 20-year personal trainer explains why 70% of your results come from somewhere else entirely.

Robin Carlse is the self-described "entertainer trainer" — the man who moonwalks between sets, drops dad jokes while you are in agony in a wall sit, and has been training clients from 4am since he had zero clients in Australia. He is also the personal trainer responsible for Kebrasca and Amber now training for Hyrox.

In this episode:- The weight loss formula: 70% diet, then strength training, then cardio — in that order- Creatine: is it actually safe, should everyone take it, and how much per day- Protein: how much you actually need and why most people are not getting enough- The most common mistakes people make when starting a fitness journey- Why social media fitness trends do not work and what a structured program looks like- Hyrox: what it is, how to train for it and Robin's honest assessment of Kebrasca and Amber- Quickfire questions: who is Robin's better client — Ken or Amber?Find Robin:rcfitness.com.auInstagram and TikTok: RC Fitness
