Last week I sent out an email article and realized I need to turn it into a blog post here so that others can see it, read it, share it, save it, etc…

And after reading it, one our awesome local Studio clients, Susan, sent me this note after she read it and this is what triggered me to get it posted here on my blog:

Hi Joey

Just want you to know I needed to read this and maybe reread it at least every week.
Thank-you again for all you do, share, insights, and encouraging words…

So here it is…

5 Health & Fitness Insights That Can Change Your Life Today

I usually have several personal, 1-on-1 Long-Distance (or Local) coaching clients I’m working with at any given time of year.

—————-
SIDE-NOTE: I may have a personal, 1-on-1 Long-Distance personal coaching spot opening up in about 3 weeks, so if you need 1-on-1 personal, long-distance coaching please send me a note here and include your primary issues, toughest obstacles and your TOP 2 goals – and WHY you want to reach those goals.
—————-

And the ones I’m currently working with are highlighting some CRITICAL but subtle insights that must be shared so that you might benefit from simply becoming “aware” of these…

AWARENESS is usually a key element, a precursor of sorts, for setting the stage that leads us to success…

We have self-awareness, which I consider to be anything internally related; inside our mind, our thoughts, habits, choices, decisions, etc… and we have awareness of what we can consider as ‘external factors or elements’.

Today I cover a little bit of both – as we will see that awareness and self-awareness are connected and inter-related. We will dive deeper into these in the future – but for today…

Here are the insights:

1 – Travel and Being Away from Home Is a Part of Life we MUST PRE-PLAN for…

If you want to reach and maintain health and wellness success – THEN YOU MUST know that travel is inevitable and you must design a plan to “stick to your vision” NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE…

SO MANY people let travel derail them. It’s crazy but true.

==> Your goals and values should NOT change just because your body is in a different city, or different country.

It’s that simple.

And I know it’s possible to win in this scenario because I have private clients who are doing it. Even some of them are surprised they are “Sticking with it”, even when on the road.

2 – Outsource Some of The Manual Labor

I have 2 clients who have such busy schedules that they barely have time to cook. And this becomes a problem that needs a solution.

One has already outsourced meal/food prep and delivery so they don’t even have to think about most of the food shopping and cooking…

And the other is now looking into it because she only has so many hours in the day and food prep is pushing the limits.

This is the kind of problem that knocks many people off the good path. But the wise people persevere and find solutions to the problems in order to MOVE FORWARD.

==> Remove the obstacles that block you from success and make your goals easier to reach.

Ask yourself; “What are the obstacles that I need to remove?”

If you don’t know the answer to that – then seek outside help. Your life is worth it.

3 – ACCOUNTABILITY is King

Without accountability you are doomed from the start.

Don’t get me wrong – you can be your own accountability chief. I know because I have become my own.

Truth is, most people CANNOT do this and this is why so many people are “yo yo” fitness folks. You know… On again off again…. The annual cycle repeats itself over and over.

You NEED accountability.

It could come from a friend, a family member, a group such as our coaches and other clients at the local Studio, or a hired specialist like me – But it must be SOMEONE until you are able to be your own “master of accountability”.

4 – GUIDANCE is the Queen

Without proper guidance – you’ll be spinning your wheels, guessing if what you’re doing is right, or wrong.

And the more you guess – the more likely you are to “quit”.

And the cycle repeats itself, over and over again.

5 – There is ALWAYS an answer

You may not know the answer. But there always is a good answer to any given problem or obstacle you face.

As a matter of fact – you can bet 100% that problems and obstacles will come your way.

THE KEY is to KNOW this beforehand.

Be 100% at peace with it – and then be ready to “ANSWER” those problems and obstacles so you keep making positive progress without getting thrown off track like all the attempts of the past.

Persevere.

Be in it to win it.

Choose your “REACTION” to every situation.

KNOW that you will be tested (We all are.)

KNOW that you have to power and ability to succeed no matter what the test in front of you is.

KNOW that it is easy to give in and submit – and PREMEDITATE your actions, to move through each test with your vision set on your goals.

And know this…

Putting in the energy and efforts NOW is a form of sacrifice and form of ‘suffering’ we can say….

BUT – you can bet every dollar you have that if you choose not to sacrifice and suffer A LITTLE now (by doing your daily duties of health, wellness and fitness) THAT YOU WILL “pay the price” MANY times more, in the future with far greater amounts of suffering and sacrifice.

Now is your time. The opportunity of a much better life is in your hands.

Your mindset holds the key.

Your values, intentions and purpose must be your primary drivers and your fuel for motivation…

Success is earned. You must go after it or it will elude you.

Or you can remain stagnant, keep drifting and suffer the consequences of living on ‘auto-pilot’.

To put this post into stronger and more meaningful context, so you can get the most out of it, be sure to listen to The Fitness Whisperer Podcast Episode #8 here: Natural Cellulite Treatment Success, Fitness Simplified and a Mind-Shift Experience

Or you can listen to it right here by click play in this mini-player embed:

“I had an idea of Karie’s abilities, fitness level, and goals before she arrived so we were able to hit the ground running and actually did our first session in the late afternoon of the day she arrived…”

Here’s how our full training schedule panned out during the 5.5 day “Atlas 1-on-1 Personal Fitness Experience”:

1 – Karie Arrived Here in Jacksonville, FL from Minnesota Thursday Afternoon: We did a full Lower-Body Training Session; (see Assisted Pistol Squat Photo below) We also did a manual stretching/flexibility session.

2 – Friday: At 9:15am I dropped Karie off at the SCULPTAFIT Studio in Saint Johns, FL so she could try her first class and see what the “experience” is like as a participant. (She was quite surprised, as you may have heard in the TFW podcast Episode #8)

Later that same day (Friday Afternoon, before dinner, we did a Bodyweight Chest and Back Training Session on the SCULPTABOD Unit in the home gym room at the house.

3 – Saturday: Abs and Core on the SCULPTABOD Unit, 10 minute stretching/flexibility session; and a 15 Mile ‘Casual’ Bike Ride.

4 – Sunday: 20 mile Beach Bike Ride (Atlantic Beach & Neptune Beach, FL) (No resistance training this day).

5 – Monday: Another 9:15am SCULPTAFIT Studio Session for Karie. Later in the afternoon, we did a Shoulder Focused Workout at the house (see Rear Deltoid and Bodyweight Shoulder Press photos below)

6 – Tuesday: at 10 am we recorded The Fitness Whisperer Podcast Episode #8
..and then left for the airport around noon to get Karie there on time for her flight back to Minnesota.

Here are a few still shot from the Atlas Home Gym Studio Training Sessions we did at the house:

A few other keys highlights and discoveries that were made and noted during Karie’s Fitness Visit

1 – She was extremely surprised at The Simple, but Super-Helpful, Healthy Cooking “lessons” that occurred in the kitchen. Karie was able to witness my some of my regular recipe combos, cooking shortcuts, and fitness food prep tactics that make living healthy so easy and enjoyable. (these kitchen/food lessons may become part of the “Atlas/SCULPTAFIT Optimum Wellness Retreat” later this year, or early in 2018)

2 – I rely VERY heavily on my Electric Tea Kettle (<= that is a very good one ) to boil water quickly and safely, several times a day for my teas, and some foods. Karie realized this one tactic alone will save her 20-30 minutes per day (maybe more), EVERY DAY. That adds up... to A LOT of time she gets back for herself. 3 – Mindset and how I “think about” how I go through my days. She made note of the proactive mental ‘filtering’ and planning that went into making my days smoother, more predictable, and more prepared for any challenges that may arise (which happens in life). The things we talked about on this topic may also become part of the “Atlas/SCULPTAFIT Optimum Wellness Retreat” later this year, or early in 2018)

4 – This is something that actually hit me “after the fact”. We did several “mini food shops” during Karie’s visit and I realized how much we took for granted, in that – so many people are overwhelmingly confused when they go into a supermarket, or any other place they go for food shopping.

We just breezed through the markets snatching up all the good things we needed for our health/fitness lifestyles and goals – while so many other people where filling their carts with life-killing, health-crippling “foods” and drinks…

It’s important to note: Some people are oblivious to understanding the difference between “good” foods and “bad” foods… While others “know” the difference, but choose to ignore what they know and still eat & drink themselves into poor health, illness and premature aging.

So the idea of making food-shopping and “Supermarket Savvy” and part of the “Atlas/SCULPTAFIT Optimum Wellness Retreat” later this year, or early in 2018 is one that I know will be a very important one.

Alrighty, that’s it for this one…
