Evan T. Cook - Fitness and Nutrition Coach

My friends! Do you want to get in better shape and improve your health but aren't sure where to start? Let's keep it simple:

-Move - can you add just 500 more steps into your day?
-Eat - can you add 1 more serving of protein into your day?
-Sleep - can you add 15-30 into your sleep schedule?

For too long, the narrative has focused almost entirely on what we need to stop, give up, or avoid. Fine. In my experience as a Personal Trainer and Coach, the best way to make that happen, to get started, is to focus more on what we can add, increase, or just generally do more of.

And before you scoff at the simplicity, try it (and Google "complexity bias" 😉).

Happy Sunday Friends🙂

There is a risk I’m oversimplifying here, but I think it’s necessary to force the conversation back to reality. There will always be a level of specificity to fitness and you can and should train in a way specific to what you want.

But if you, like many, simply want to be generally fit - you want to look good, feel good, move good, etc. etc., you will likely never need much more than these foundational movements and lifts. It’s totally cool to want more, after all, it’s fun exploring what this body can do, but you likely won’t need it.

The Illusory Truth Effect - when our brain tricks us into thinking we know something just because we've heard about it. Exposure does not equal understanding. Fortunately, a little awareness and curiosity are often enough for us to overcome this little bu**er.
