Appreciate Your Greatness

The sh!tty workouts make you appreciate the great workouts.

You’re not going to have many workouts that feel like Disneyland. 

I’ll never be the trainer who lies to you.

Most of this is hard. Most of it sucks. Most of the time you’re going to what to be doing something else.

That’s the reality of working out: most of your workouts are going to make you question your life choices. Getting uncomfortable just does that to a person.

Ya you move and stuff during a workout, you’ll sweat but workouts are really a test of how you respond to an uncomfortable situation.

You have to persevere through those hard workouts to get the ones that remind you you’re strong and capable.

Those strong workouts are the ones that carry you through. That give you the motivation to keep going in all those workouts that make you want to cry or quit.

Those are the workouts you focus on when you’re in the workout that makes you question your life choices. The ones that left you feeling like a rockstar and relishing in your finish line instead of the ones that left you hating life.

The Bigger Impact of Fitness

Aerobic exercise creates neuron generation which reduces the risk of dementia and increases cognitive performance. 

That makes me sound fancy af.

But it’s true.

The workouts that you’re doing DO more for you than just giving you an instantaneous 6 pack. They improve the quality of your life.

That’s why your workouts can’t be a temporary solution. They have to be a part of your life. They have to grow and change with you. They need to be flexible with your crazy schedule, with your goals, and with your LIFE.

Nothing drives me crazier than hearing a client talk about some insane 60 day program they’re going to do just to see them burn out, stop, and then lose all of their progress.

That’s not the realistic approach to health and wellness.

It needs to be imperfect, it needs to be messy, and it needs to be forever changing.

Because that’s who we are. Imperfectly perfect humans who are still learning what works the best for us in ever facet of our lives. 

Humans who approach working out as a permanent part of our lives even if what we did yesterday isn’t the same as what we do tomorrow.

Humans who give ourselves grace and patience to show up for ourselves in the midst of all the other demands of our time.

Humans who understand that seeking the mirror results of a workout might matter but the life long impact of moving your body and taking care of yourself matters more.

Struggle is Not the Same as Weakness

Do not mistake struggle for weakness.

Weak people quit. Weak people let the challenge get the best of them and they find the next best reason to just stop.

You’re not weak.

But you’ll think you’re weak.

When you hit that part of your workout that’s hard AF and you’re struggling like none other, you’ll think you’re weak.

I see it all the time. Workouts are designed to challenge you and push your limits, but we’ll get to those hard parts and think we’re the ones that suck NOT that the workout is meant to bring us to our knees.

Then we start talking down to ourselves, being super negative, and we get mad and we STOP. Which is the last thing we should be doing.

Getting to the hard part of the workout and feeling super over it is not an act of weakness. It means you’re pushing yourself beyond your limits. You’re expanding your edges so you can see change.

As a trainer, I WANT to see that. I want to see you struggle, figure out how to push through, and repeat that pattern so you can create a habit of showing yourself your strength.

I want you to show yourself that you can push through the challenge. It might not look good and it will for sure be comfortable, but I know that if you can push through, you’ll come back and do it again.
