Mental + Fitness

Working out and getting in shape doesn't just stop with the nutrition and exercise; there is an emotional part to it as well. If you work out for a week putting forth 100% and you step onto that darn scale you see you've only dropped a pound! Of course, you’re going to be bummed out but that's no reason to stop. I see so many people go through this phase and often times they get so discouraged they give up. You can't give up when the going gets tough you just have to keep charging for that goal.

In order to succeed you need to put it all aside! 95% of time a client will say to me, it's just to hard to eat right! Not only have they given up on themselves but there self esteem is at a low point. The first thing I do for them is conduct a strategy plan to establish their fitness goals. I often take my clients grocery shopping to help them with the things they take into there body. At the end of the trip, they get better food and they even safe more money! Once we have the food, I discuss ways they can break it down into smaller portion meals. This method get the client a new understaing of how important it is to have a nutritional plan. I give them a nutrition tracking binder to enter everything that eat for the week. At the end of the week, we look at it together to find out where they need to improve… if at all. Most of the time they have eaten well because they know I will be observing it. I know they don't want to disappoint me. Within two weeks after this new coaching plan we conduct a body assessment, (body fat, Blood pressure, circumference measurements) to see their improvement. Most of the time my clients loose 5-10 pounds of fat within that 2 week period just from changing there mind set from “can't do it” to “can do it.” They realize what they've accomplished within just a 2 week period and are astounded!

The self esteem level and confidence level is now at an all time high, therefore they continue to push for that Fitness goal until it is met. Don't worry about the current state concentrate on the end results! Remember it's the Mind and Body connection to get you to those results you want!
