Some people have absolutely no desire for growth, positive change or self improvement. They are not willing to un-learn bad habits, complacency or old ways and that's fine, but if you are aspiring for growth, enhancing your character and health then it's imperative to analyze the important aspects of HEALTH...
The very definition of Health is the state of complete physical, mental AND 'social well-being'
So watch your social circle because As we get older our circle may change and that is a completely natural part of life. Very few will remain there and they are keepers who will eventually be in your corner for life
Being in my thirties now I make sure to analyze that for the sake of my precious energy, time and effort and so should you!

At first I was like ๐... But then I'm like ๐
My resting a$$**** face(don't talk to me) during a workout compared to after haha when the feel good hormones and endorphin pain killers kick in!
Being in the gym from 5:00 to 5:00 or even later can sound grueling and even impossible to some. But when you love what you do, you look past what others want for you and what people think you should be doing and do what's best for YOU!
You got to set goals, HAVE A PURPOSE, have a vision and go for your dreams every fuggn day. I make time to hit my workout because I always feel better after, for me it helps tremendously with mental health, spiritual Fitness and the physical fitness / benefits are an added bonus!

Last week I got a call from the New York executive podcast company for an invitation to be on their podcast Network!
It was a nice short interview talking about my online fitness training 1:1 monthly coaching and DIY programs. Give it a listen. It's about 5 minutes long, And thank you NY executive podcast for this great opportunity.
As much as I would love to train everybody who wants it in person, we are only allowed so many hours in a day and especially when your schedule is full it's not possible. However, I have acquired tools such as online training to help me help others reach their health goals and not have to be there in person. They can do their workouts and habits with my guidance on their time ๐ช๐ผ
They also put it on the simplecast podcast platform!

DELOAD & REST: A crucial, yet sometimes thought of unorthodox part, of personal training and health coaching others is implementing rest periods or deload days/ deload weeks.
* Foam, rolling, stretching and traveling to peaceful places is part of my deload phases*
It's one thing having to motivate and push clients to show up not just for our appointments but for themselves on the off days as well, it's another thing to express the importance of taking days off. Especially with clients who feel like they need to work out all the time all day. Try to scratch the feeling like you need to do something everyday because eventually you risk over-training, injury and burnout!
I have to remind clients that when we sleep, rest and recuperate and EAT HEALTHY is when we're actually growing and when the results truly kick in ; so,
Here's your gentle reminder that taking some time off is okay and a necessary part of realistic adequate results. I too practice this.
I'll coach clients that anywhere from 3 to 12 weeks (depending on fitness level & experience.) You need to take a light week or completely off To let the body super and Central nervous system supercompensate, therefore, we try to gear this when they may be out of town or going on vacation for example. We call it a DELOAD phase.
It's all a part of the process!
