Subj: The Wrong Recipe
Most people focus on what happens inside the gym … when they’re actually training.
And that’s important … don’t get me wrong.
But what’s even more important is what happens outside the gym … when you’re not training.
This determines your capacity.
What’s your capacity?
Your capacity is how much stress (i.e. load) your body can endure in a given day before pain and injury enter the picture.
And we’re not just talking about physical activities (like squats and deadlifts).
We’re MOSTLY talking about factors that add stress and load to your system outside the gym.
Like Sleep, Diet and Stress … your “Recovery Box” … which you can absolutely control.
I’ll give you an example.
It may seem like a good idea to schedule a 5:30 a.m. workout for tomorrow. You’re putting your training time on your schedule and making it a priority.
But what if you stay up working or binge-watching NetFlix until 1:30 a.m. … and then go to the gym?
Bad idea. More than a bad idea, actually.
It’s a recipe for pain and injury.
Remember that when we train, we’re breaking down our muscles and connective tissues. The adaptations to the training can only happen with recovery.
Moreover, that’s your responsibility, too.
There are two ways that coaches can help you avoid going over your capacity each day (and thus, avoid pain and injury).
We can reduce the stress that your body is facing outside the gym … by improving your diet, increasing the quantity and quality of your sleep, and pursuing healthy ways to manage stress (think meditation, not alcohol consumption).
What’s the other way? Simple. We can increase your capacity. By becoming stronger, more stable when getting in and out of foundational movement patterns, and improving your joint mobility and tissue flexibility, we can “raise the bar” so that your body can tolerate more stress inside the gym.
If you spend time deliberately, purposefully and intentionally reducing the stress on your body before you get to the gym … and increasing your capacity to perform once you get there … you’re going to be light years ahead of most people.
Pretty soon, a lot of people who started a fitness program in January are going to get bored, frustrated, or worse, injured … and unfortunately, they’re going to quit.
But you’re smarter than that. You’re better than that.
Don’t let that be you.

Subject: Stop Trying To Be Perfect

Nike made billions of dollars off an advertising campaign built around Michael Jordan, inarguably (in my opinion) the greatest basketball player who ever lived.
You may remember it.
“Just Do It.”
There’s a deeper lesson in those three words.
You always move forward by taking action … even if the action is imperfect.
Actually … especially if the action is imperfect.
Just do something … one thing … and don’t try to be perfect.
You’ve probably heard me say this before, but it bears repeating.
Perfection is the enemy of progress.
Action causes motivation and momentum … not the other way around.
Stop waiting for the perfect time. The best time to start is always right now.
Stop delaying until you find the perfect workout. A few squats and push-ups will do the trick for today.
Stop worrying about what someone else will think.
So if you’re stuck or struggling to stay on track (or get on track), the best advice I can give you is to take one action … no matter how small … and repeat it every day.
You’ll be amazed by the momentum and feeling of accomplishment this will create.
P.S. - Whenever you're ready, here are 3 ways I can help you:

Subj: Focus
We all have things that we need to focus on every day. Going to work, paying bills, taking care of our kids, to name a few.
But we need to remember … if we don’t take care of ourselves, we won’t be able to fulfill those vital responsibilities for very long.
And so when I've worked with clients who seemed overwhelmed or truly had a lot on their plate, my best piece of advice has always been...
'Focus on 1 thing.'
When everything is going a million miles per hour around you, it's pretty easy to look up at the end of the day and see that you're no closer to being happier or healthier than you were when the day started.
So rather than try to do a bunch of different things to improve, focus on ONE thing that will move you closer to your goals.
What do I mean?
Learn something new that you can apply
Apply something new that you have learned
Drink more water
Go to sleep an hour earlier
Move meaningfully and with a purpose for 20 minutes
Make each meal a little bit better... swap out starches for an extra serving of veggies, for example
Even if the improvement is small, the power of this approach is big.
There is a compounding effect. Small successes build confidence, shape habits, and set you up for bigger wins down the road. So if you ever get overwhelmed with all there is to do (I know I do), then this is where I would start.
Focus on ONE thing at a time.

1. Work with us in your own home.

Subj: Have We Learned Anything?
The past few years have been a whirlwind.
But sometimes you need to block out all the noise and focus on what’s real.
When it comes to living a happier, healthier life, there are three things that will never change.
Master these three, and you’re virtually guaranteed to progress beyond where you are today and feel proud of your accomplishments.
Self-Care is Non-Negotiable: Many of us burn ourselves out taking care of everyone else but forget about ourselves. Remember, you can't pour from an empty cup. Think about what they say when you board an airplane: Put your oxygen mask on first. Help yourself so that you can be the best version of you to help others.
The "Other" 165: For most of us, making it to the gym 3 times in a week is a great week. It also means that your results are largely going to be dictated by the "Other 165" hours in the week. Factors like sleep, stress, hydration and nutrition have a lot more to do with how your clothes fit than those TRX rows that you did yesterday. Yes, it's important to get your workouts in. But it's even more important to be accountable to what happens during the "Other 165." Embrace it.
The Simpler The Better: When it comes to exercise, the basics are always best. Expensive, elaborate equipment and machines that nobody really knows how to use are not only unnecessary, they take away from the desired outcome. Become the best at the basics and the rest will take care of itself.
It's pretty simple. Take care of yourself, pay attention to what happens during the 165 hours a week when you're NOT in the gym, and keep things simple.
P.S. Whenever you're ready, here are 3 ways I can help you get happier and healthier:

1. Come in for a Custom Fitness Consultation.

We'll sit down together and discuss your goals, simple steps you can take to achieve them, and see if there is a way to work together to give you the coaching and support you need to get the results you want quickly.

If you'd like to discuss a meeting for a Consultation, just reply and put 'Consult' in the subject line, and I'll follow up with you.
2. Join our 30 Day Jump Start Program and be a Case Study.

We're adding a few new clients to our program for 30 days and documenting their success. If you'd like to work with us for the next month and be a case study for fat loss, just reply to this message and put "30" in the subject line.

3. Be my guest for a free training session.

If you'd like to come in to attend a 'Bring a Friend' training session as my guest, just reply and put "Guest" in the subject line, and I'll get you all the details!

Subj: 5 Things That Never Change
Simpler is always better.
Don’t over-complicate things.
It may be a new year … and chances are you really want a new you.
The calendar changes … but the simple path to good health never does.
Here are 5 things to think about that will help you avoid losing your strength, fitness, and health but actually make significant gains in every area.
Drink More Water: For the average adult, 8 cups (64 oz) per day is a minimum; half your body-weight in ounces is ideal. If you struggle to get the minimum, start there. And be sure to track your success each day.
Get More Sleep: To look and feel your best, 7 hours is the minimum. If you struggle to get that much, start there and focus on spending at least 7 hours in bed each night. Here are some simple tips for improving your sleep environment.
Move A Little More: Working out 7 days a week was never a requirement for being healthy. It’s never been true, and it's not true now. Aim for 3-5 workouts a week -- 2-3 strength-based workouts and 1-2 cardio-based. Or, try for 20 minutes of movement a day, including getting outside and going for walks. Have a method to track your success so you stay accountable (planner, notebook, note-taking app, etc.)
Eat A Little Better: Going from pizza and chips to a 100% clean diet overnight often results in frustration and reverting to old habits after a couple of weeks. Ask yourself, "How can I make this meal 1% better?" Swap out a starch for more veggies, for example. If you like, take pictures of your meals for three days and send them to me; I'm happy to take a look and give you feedback.
Be Kind To Yourself: Celebrate your successes and don't beat yourself up over the failures. Each day, do something kind to yourself … and to others.
Remember, success is a compilation of small decisions executed consistently. There's no need to make it more complicated than that.
P.S. Whenever you're ready, here are 3 ways we can help you get happier and healthier:
1. Come in for a Custom Success Session.
We'll sit down together and discuss your goals, simple steps you can take to achieve them, and see if there is anything else we can do to help you get the results you want quickly.

Subj: You Decide
Welcome to the new year!
Now, what are you going to do with it?
I mean that sincerely.
Only you get to decide what kind of year this is for you.
What kind of goals you set for yourself … and achieve.
Remember, we always have two choices: We can either complain about the circumstances or make the best of the circumstances we have.
As we begin a new year, my advice would be to pay attention to what’s playing in the background for you. What kind of stories are you telling yourself?
It better not be, “I’m not motivated to work out,” or “I always lose weight and then gain it back,” or, “I’m not good enough.”
Only YOU get to decide what you’re capable of this year.
Only YOU get to decide what goals you’re going to set.
Only YOU get to decide what actions you’re going to take … every day, every week, every month … to achieve them.
Don’t focus on anybody else or what THEY think.
Their goals are not yours. Their limitations are not yours.
Only YOU get to decide what you want for your body, health and happiness … and only YOU get to decide what you’re going to do each day to move closer to those goals.
So do you. Your future self will thank you.
P.S. Whenever you're ready, here are 3 ways we can help you get happier and healthier:

1. Come in for a Custom Success Session.

We'll sit down together and discuss your goals, simple steps you can take to achieve them, and see if there is anything else we can do to help you get the results you want quickly.
