Habit Triggers

If you’re trying to change (or create) a new habit, give yourself a trigger. ⁣
⁣
𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞:⁣
Snacking mindlessly in the kitchen.⁣
Flopping on the couch after work.⁣
Living on coffee all day.⁣
Scrolling through your phone…⁣
⁣
𝐏𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡…⁣
⁣
Maybe you:⁣
Stick a note on your fridge as a reminder.⁣
Put on your fitness tracker to stay moving.⁣
Set a timer on your phone to drink some water.⁣
Create an app limit to stop your scroll.⁣

What is a NSV?

It’s like a NFT, except not at all.⁣ NSV stands for non-scale victory.

Because the scale isn’t your only measure of progress.

Wins like, better sleep, hunger, digestion, recovery, energy, stress, habits, routines, etc. all add up! I ask my clients about their biofeedback markers every week, because those NSVs matter!⁣
⁣
Which form of progress is more important to you?⁣
⁣Your clothes fitting better, lifting more weight, having more energy, with the scale staying the same?⁣ OR have the scale decrease by 5 lbs while having no energy, high stress, terrible sleep, extreme hunger, and wrecked digestion?⁣
⁣
If you opted for the second option, then the Warrior Program might not be for you.⁣
⁣

If you’re ready to start stacking NSVs send me a message and we’ll talk!

Find Your Fire

If it’s not a hell yes, then it’s a no…⁣
⁣
If you force yourself into a training style you hate, you’ll probably drop out in a few weeks.⁣
⁣
Plain and simple, you won’t do it long term unless you like it.⁣
⁣
I’ve done running, spin classes, yoga, Zumba, IM sports, CrossFit, and even Pure Barre. While I enjoyed all of them, at the end of the day, my heart is fueled by lifting weights.⁣
⁣
I love lifting so I stick to it because I crave it. But I had to explore all those types of training first in order to find the style I love most!⁣
⁣
I don’t care if it’s jazzercise or water aerobics, find your fire and let it fuel you.⁣

How to Know if Your Plan is Working

Results happen over time, not overnight- work hard, stay consistent, and be patient… you got this!

Measure your progress often, but recognize that fluctuations will happen.

Don’t depend on the scale alone. Monitor your performance during training too!

Use the fit of your clothes or progress pictures to keep you going in the right direction.

Most importantly, pay attention to how you feel. Sleep, stress, digestion, these are all forms of feedback!

Build Confidence in the Gym

I’m sure you’ve experienced the feeling of⁣ going to the gym for the first time,⁣ trying a new gym,⁣ or returning to the gym after some time away.⁣
⁣
One of my goals is to help you feel confident in your training.

2. Wear clothes that you feel confident in!⁣
3. Grab a workout partner.⁣
4. Make a badass playlist if you’re training solo.⁣
5. Don’t park it on cardio equipment.⁣

Consistency

You don’t have to be extreme, just consistent.⁣
⁣
Keep these two things in mind when you find it hard to stay on track!⁣
⁣
𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐏𝐬𝐲𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲⁣
If your mind isn’t right, then you’re less likely to be kind to yourself. It’s easy to get down on ourselves but something I’ve always used is “If I wouldn’t say these things to another human, then why would I say them to myself?” #positiveselftalk⁣
⁣
𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐏𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲⁣
We may get down on ourselves thinking we didn’t push hard enough, didn’t give it our all, or had a “crappy workout” but those could be the result of too little sleep, not enough nutrition, crappy nutrition, or even dehydration.⁣
⁣
Are you set up for consistent success?⁣
Are you taking care of your mind and body together?⁣

Morning Workout Tips

Until you establish a routine, working out first thing in the morning can be challenging!⁣

⁣
Try some of these tips to get going.⁣
⁣
𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐚𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝.⁣
Gym clothes, supplements, post workout meal etc. Trust me, I’ve forgotten headphones, shoes, and many other things before and it’s not fun!⁣
⁣
𝐆𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞𝐝 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲.⁣
Turn the TV off, put your phone away, just wind down early. It’ll make a big difference when that alarm goes off.⁣
⁣
𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐚 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞/𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞.⁣
Find a coach or workout partner if you struggle with this! I love spending time with my family, so they motivate me to get er done first thing in the morning!⁣
⁣
𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧.⁣
I use the same app as my clients to keep me focused on my training and stick to a plan. Plus, I don’t want to be “thinking” that early in the morning.
⁣

Working out in the morning will boost your energy throughout the entire day, so tap into that and make the most of it!⁣
⁣
You’ll actually be more productive.⁣

Adherence

You can have the BEST diet and training plan, but if you don’t follow it, it will do nothing for you.

The more extreme your plan is, the less likely that you’ll sustain it long term. Go for the realistic option even if it takes a little longer.

Then stick to that plan long enough so that eating healthy meals & doing workouts becomes routine!

Take away the feeling of needing to be 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵 and focus on being 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭.⁣
⁣
As a coach, I create programs that look great on paper, but I know full and well that life comes first and we merge the two the best we can.
⁣
If your plan isn’t working on paper then it’s not reasonable and you need to shift things.⁣
⁣
I would rather you nail a program that is realistic than have a “perfect plan” that you can’t stick to.⁣

If you’re ready to dial in your plan and make real sustainable progress towards your goals then I’m here to help!
