Motivation, Accountability, and Energy

Leave a Comment

These three words are the words I hear the most when people are considering our program.

They need help with motivation, someone to hold them accountable and they desire more energy.

Motivation is tough, especially right now. Believe me, it is easy to keep doing what we are doing, get caught up in everything around us.

I get asked often how do you stay so positive.

I will be the first to admit, I have absolutely struggled to stay positive, but I make a choice every morning and that is to have hope.

I learned a long time ago that I get to control my emotions and reactions. Now it has taken me a minute to fully grasp this and I also realized I get to fill my head with what I want.

Reading books, listening to inspiring podcasts, or anything business related in my jam.

I have minimized my media exposure…now I don’t keep my head in the sand…but we could all benefit from a reduction.

It goes back to pruning…when the vine is dying, we prune it and new life forms. What do you need to prune in your life that will give you the ability to do more and be more?

Accountability is absolutely no surprise to me.

We all need accountability in our life. A coach, who has your back, wants to see you be successful. If left to our own vices…well…we know what happens.

I have had several coaches over the years, more from a business side and we still continue to have coaches who help guide us.

It is important to know you don’t have to walk the journey alone.

Then energy, we all want to feel better, perform more and simply feel good.

We took an already sedentary world and with working from home we have reduced our movement even more. (The exception is having a 2 and 4 year old…if you need to get your steps in or some cardio…come on over!)

The simple act of taking a walk, doing a 20 min workout can release good endorphins and can instantly boost your mood and level of energy.

Always sounds counterproductive, but we are meant to move, we need to move and we thrive off of movement.

I share these three items because this is what I hear day after day and I want you to know you are not alone.

Motivation right now is hard and that’s why having a structured program, an appointment with your self and a little money motivation (meaning you paid for that workout) can help you get going consistently.

Then I highly recommend a coach. A coach is going to help keep you safe, but guide you. Now all coaches are not created equal…it is important to interview and make sure you have a good fit, check out their testimonials.

Lastly, the best by product of getting active is Energy! You don’t need to guzzle energy drinks. You need to drink water, get 7+ hours of sleep and move.

Its easy to do and it is easy not to do!

Choose to do,

Today’s Journey

Leave a Comment

Today’s journey is totally different. It is no surprise that what was important to most of us 6 months ago is a thing of the past.

What’s cool about today’s journey is you still get to write it.

For some of our clients, they have embraced the online workout…staying in the comfort/safety of their own home. For other clients, they have been able to come into our facility, stay socially distanced, and workout in our gym.

What is important now more than ever is that our clients find new routines, continue to take care of themselves and the risk vs the reward has never been greater.

Having underlying health conditions was always important, but now it can be the difference between life and death with COVID-19.

Maintaining a healthy weight will help reduce the risk of most underlying issues.

It can get overwhelming on where to start, how to start and can I do this type of feelings…

We understand how it feels and can help you get started no matter where you are with your health and wellness goals.

We offer online and in-person workouts and will coach you through the process keeping you motivated and on track.

You do not have to do this journey alone.

Continue to take one step at a time.

At minimum start here: Walk, drink half your body weight in water, and sleep 7+ hours each night.

Then when you are ready, reach out, and let’s talk more about you.

I know you can do this and it’s ok to ask for help. Having a coach hold you accountable is a game-changer for most.

Continue to write your journey, look for the opportunity and beauty in all situations.

As always, reply with any questions, we are here to help.

Let’s get Fired Up!

Happy Friday! Hope you have had an awesome week!

Our clients have been cranking it in the gym and online workouts this week! Never gets old seeing someone come in or show up online and leave with that sense of accomplishment. (I still want to high five people!)

I think it is important to understand that everyone doesn’t just wake up and jump out of bed to workout…I know…weird…but for most people this is not something they just love.

They need motivation and support.

For a lot of our clients, they have gotten busy with work, kids…this whole quarantine thing and it has simply derailed most of us from taking care of ourselves.

We go through so many feeling of ugh, I’ll start next week and next week never comes.

Then we give it a fair shot, we try doing a workout or going for a walk, then we get distracted and never make any momentum.

This is where you need a coach.

You need to know that someone has your back, is going to keep you safe and motivate you appropriately through your workouts and nutrition.

It doesn’t have to be perfect, form yes, what I mean is you don’t need to eat lettuce and carrots to see results.

Consistent movement, improved nutrition will make you feel better, clothes fit better and all the wonderful health benefits that have never been more important.

The other amazing benefit is your overall mood.

The endorphins released after a good workout are amazing medicine for the soul!

If you are struggling with motivation, need a coach to help keep you safe and guide you through workouts and improved nutrition reach out. (You can reply to this message and I’ll get it.)

I want to give a huge shout out to all our clients; you are doing amazing and we are so proud of each one of you!

Let’s get fired up and win this day!

Getting Started

Leave a Comment

We are completing another awesome month back in the gym and it has been so awesome to see our clients taking care of themselves, making time, and getting into some really good routines.

Sure, it looks a bit different in our facility, but I have never been more thankful for the space and the ability to keep everyone socially distanced and safe during our workouts and warm-ups.

I believe one of the hardest parts of our program is taking that first step.

We understand what it feels like to not feel awesome, stressed, worried…but all you have to do is show up and we take care of the rest.

We will take you through a structured warm-up…our warm-up is totally different and we start with breathing. Then we wake up the central nervous system by compressing the activation site. This technique we use is RPR or Reflexive Performance Reset.

Research is showing lowered soft tissue injuries (90%) at the University of Texas, University of Minnesota, and some NHL teams! Super exciting stuff!

Then we will demonstrate the workout, with progressions and regressions to each movement. You do the workout that is best for you that day.

You will leave feeling accomplished.

Our days are super sedentary and we have to be intentional about movement, now more than ever.

If you have been looking at a program like ours, take the first step. Fill out a Consultation request form and we will give you a call. We then sit down in a consultation, where we can learn more about you, your goals and health history.

The first step is always the hardest, but you will never look back.

It has never been a better time to take care of you!
