Time to Level Up
I’m asking you to level up.
I was asked on a podcast the other day how I know when to push my clients and when to back off.
Truth: some of it is a spidey sense from doing this for so long of knowing when clients are ready to be pushed.
Here’s the key: the push has to be successful or the person will feel small and not want to come back.
I am NOT out to make people feel small. I want people walking out of their workout feeling empowered and confidence and taking those feelings into the rest of their day.
But I’ve learned over the years that being ready to be pushed will only happen when you can check your ego at the door.
Pushing yourself isn’t always about taking the hardest option or working to the point of throwing up or injury.
Pushing yourself means expanding your horizons so you can prove to yourself that you are that badass.
What does that mean in your workout?
You have to be present. The expectation of what you should be able to do because you did it yesterday, can’t apply.
Check that little negative voice that tells you “I can’t”. There’s nothing you can’t do, it’s all in your approach.
Ditch the fear. Try the heavier weight, try to go faster. If it doesn’t work, you’re not failing, you’re just discovering new starting points.
