Discipline Beats Motivation! The avg. American gains 2 lbs during the holidays. 5 Tips from a Career Gym Owner & Personal Trainer on the mindset you need to avoid the “Holiday Slump” this year and set yourself up for the best version of you in 2022!⁣
⁣
⏱ Don’t wait to get motivated – motivation is created by action. Don’t wait around for motivation to strike, exercise discipline & will power to get started – the motivation will come. I promise!⁣
⁣
😅 Sweat before screens – the holiday schedule is more hectic than ever. Morning is often the time we have the MOST control over, so take control of the morning and find a way to sweat before you get stuck to your screens and the day gets away⁣
⁣
💪🏽 E+R= O: Event + Reaction = Outcome. We drill our clients on this at HG. Events outside of your control will happen in your life, it’s not a matter of “if” it’s a matter of “when.” You can’t control that. What you do have is 100% control over your reaction to those events, and that’s 50% of the equation. Find peace in knowing no matter what happens, you are in control of your reaction.⁣
⁣
⚠️ Rehearse Potential Pitfalls – Spend 30 minutes THIS WEEK. Write out 5-10 potential pitfalls that might happen to you this holiday season and how you can “survive” them. Ex) 2 Christmas Parties in one weekend. Leading up to the weekend I will log 2 additional cardio sessions, and I will have a high protein meal 1 hour before the parties to lower my hunger levels and decrease snacking.⁣
⁣
🤜🏼 🤛🏼Battle Buddy – Tell 1-2 friends or family members how you plan to navigate the holiday slump and encourage them to join you. This will add accountability to your plan in two ways. You told them what you plan to do so you will want to live up to your word. Secondly, you’ll want to set a good example for them in hopes of helping them with their own plan.

Thankful for another year! Earlier this week, I celebrated my birthday 🥳🎂!
Another year older and feeling a lot wiser! The past year has taught me a lot.

Through adventures and challenges I’m learning more about who I am and more importantly who I want to be.

I’m embracing more spontaneous magic moments in the NOW and worrying less about the small stuff that doesn’t matter.

The things right in front of us that can pass us by in an instant can create the most treasured memories. That’s where the magic happens. In those moments, take time to pause before it’s gone forever.

I used to fear getting older, now I embrace it as a blessing. The wisdom that comes from taking challenges head on and facing fear is our biggest teacher.

An anthem that resonates with me and I hope will live out forever in my the lives of my daughters…

Cheers to many more moments we choose to dance!! ❤️

Have pride in how far you’ve come. Have FAITH in how far you can go. 💫

Wrapping up 2020 with renewed gratitude for life and hope for the future. ⭐️🙏🏽

Despite a few lingering symptoms, I’m on the mend and happy to be on the recovery-end of covid! Fortunately no one else in my household tested positive!
I’m not an infectious disease expert by any means, but I’ve certainly learned a lot over the past few weeks about the vulnerability of life; what we can control and what is completely out of our hands.
Much respect and gratitude to all healthcare workers and first responders. ❤️
Please stay healthy, friends! Sending prayers for love, health and happiness to you in 2021!

Have you set your 2021 Health and Fitness Goals?⁣
⁣
It’s that time of year! Time to reflect on where you are at and envision where you want to go. Here are a few words of wisdom on setting your health and fitness goals for 2021!⁣
⁣
📊 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲: how can you accurately determine where you want to go if you don’t know where you’re at? I suggest baseline testing asap. These are goal dependent but a few popular ones for your fitness goals: Body Fat Test, Body Part Measurements, Metabolic Test, V02 Max Test, Strength Tests⁣
⁣
🧐 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹𝘀: Goal clarity is difficult, but essential. Boil down your fitness goals to the most specific and measurable forms possible. This where the SMART acronym comes is. Use it! Be crystal clear on what you want to achieve, and by when you want to have it done.⁣
⁣
🏋🏼‍♂️ 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲 “𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲”: If you aren’t familiar with this term, you’re missing out. Deliberate Practice is what separates the average from the elite. Find ways to incorporate this into your fitness goals. Suggestions: Track your weights and reps, hire a coach to provide immediate feedback to your exercise execution, buy a heart rate monitor and use it during your cardio conditioning. Be intentional about every workout.⁣
⁣
🚷 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗪𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗣𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀: At the most basic level we all know WHAT to do. It’s doing it that the majority of people fall short. Do you need more accountability? Arrange for it! Do you lack self-discipline? Get help. Do you quickly lose motivation? Learn the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and plan ahead on dosing yourself with each form of motivation monthly. ⁣
⁣
🙋🏻‍♂️ 𝗕𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱: It’s PROVEN that you are a reflection of who you spend the most time with. Choose wisely! Not around anyone healthy and fit? That’s a huge problem if you want to be fit and healthy. Join a gym that puts you around the right people. Make friends with people aiming for the same goal, or better yet, who have already achieved it.
