5 Tips For Implementation

The world is full of educated fools.”

We seek out all of this knowledge, but then we do nothing with it.

We don’t ever IMPLEMENT.

And I get it…Positive things are still scary – even if it means stepping into a better version of yourself.

That’s why I wanted to share 5 tips to help you get moving.

5 Tips To Help You Implement Your Knowledge:

1. Focus on behavioral changes over end results. Set goals that celebrate those habits.
2. Stop seeking some perfect schedule or plan. The program that will work best is one that is realistic!
3. Recognize your self control isn’t infinite.
4. Focus on just one change at a time. And make it something ridiculously easy at times.
5. Have something outside of yourself to hold you accountable!

5 Common Training Mistakes and How To Avoid Them

A well-designed workout routine makes a huge difference in the results you get.

While that sounds like a “Duh!” statement, often intentional programming is overlooked to do what we “like” or what feels “hard.”

Too often we program out of how we’re feeling that day, what equipment is available, or even how many calories we want to burn.

We don’t plan ahead with everything targeted at our specific needs and even our GOALS for the workout.

And that lack of direction can leave us spinning our wheels, working super hard to NOT see the results we want.

That’s why in this episode of the Fitness Hacks Podcast, I want to share some tips to help you dial in your workout routines and train SMARTER.

What can sometimes be small tweaks to even your reps and sets and exercise variations, can really make a huge difference.

5 Common Training Mistakes:

1. Not using variety to your advantage. Remember the same but different can be progression!
2. Not creating a clear progression. You can’t randomly string things together and HOPE they work out!
3. Not thinking through your workouts. Training harder doesn’t mean you’ll get better results.
4. Focus on the WEEKLY picture. We want each workout to work together over the weeks and even months.
5. Don’t get caught up in ONE design or move as the BEST. No one move or design is always the right option. We want everything to match our needs and goals.

Use it or lose it!

Too often we let AGE determine what we can, and can’t, do! But age is just a number. 

And we can NEVER stop doing the things that make us move and feel better.

Honestly, often the things we think we are “too old” to do, we actually SHOULD be doing.

Don’t let age be your excuse to stop training hard. 

Here are 3 tips to help you maintain your strength and fitness until you’re 150 years old!

1. Focus on strength training. It’s key we lift heavy to build and maintain our lean muscle mass. Plus this can help us avoid falls and prevent injury!

2. Include lots of prehab or mobility work. It’s not just simply “getting older” that can make the injuries add up. It’s simply lifestyle factors accumulating over time. That’s why it’s key we address those postural distortions!

3. Challenge yourself with new things! The more we challenge ourselves with new moves, the more we can keep that mind-body connection strong! Some of those moves we think we are “too old” for, are the exact moves we should be doing to challenge our coordination!

The simple fact is…if we don’t use it, we lose it!

You’ve got to train with purpose to keep your body healthy!
