Tackling Anxiety & Depression

Exercise & nutrition is the number one thing you can do to lower your anxiety and improve depression. Dogs are likely a close second 😉

When you’re not eating properly, you don’t have energy and don’t feel well. You’re probably crabby because you’re less active and not sleeping how you’d like. You don’t look and feel how you want to feel and don’t like how your body feels and are reminded of it on a consistent basis all day everyday. Some people cope with this by eating more garbage food and making things worse, only perpetuating what’s already taking place. On the OTHER hand, when you eat well, work out and are consistent your WHOLE paradigm shifts. You have more energy, you feel good, you’re not constipated, your stomach doesn’t bother you. You like the look of the reflection in the mirror, you’re more out going. If you have kids you’re imparting healthy habits on them to help them lead successful lives.

Everything good or bad adds up. You’re in more control then you think and can pick and choose more then you think. Make the choices count 🙂

Stability – The most overlooked aspect of working out.

If you drive faster than you can stop, you’ll crash.

If you produce more force than you can stabilize, you’ll get hurt.

The 🔑 to strength is stability. It’s an often overlooked area. It’s not the only thing to work on, but usually the most neglected.

If you’re in pain you can’t get rid of or are working out and it’s painful that could be why 🤓.

If you’re not sure where to start with your stability let me know!

Pain Relief -Your body is the ultimate feedback tool!

I started training Sarah after she had gone to the Dr. and been told to take Aleve for their hip pain and that they were just getting old. They had been trying to lose bodyfat and get out of pain for a long time with no luck. One month after their post above they’re out of pain completely, and back into clothes they never thought they’d wear again.

Why? Because they started training with me and I took all of the guesswork out of it for them. They were in pain for a reason. They weren’t losing bodyfat for a reason. We changed that together with their fitness & nutrition plan and she got where she wanted to go.

If there’s something you’ve been struggling with don’t be afraid to reach out to finally get over the hump!

I was able to release 70lbs with Bennett’s help

I had thought about hiring a personal trainer for a long time. I was completely inexperienced in the gym and I was really intimidated by the whole idea. When I met Bennett I was in the worst physical and mental shape I had ever been in. Just before I met him I had experienced the loss of a pregnancy and was extremely depressed, I let my my eating habits spiral out of control and wasn’t physically active at all. I knew I needed to make some serious changes.

I approached Bennett and asked him a few questions initially. I was surprised at how comfortable I felt with the conversation. He made me feel like I could realistically achieve my goals and I wasn’t intimidated at all. We set a training appointment and worked on a meal plan and I was hooked.

I was able to release 70lbs with Bennett’s help, more than once! I was at 37% body fat at the start, and I was able to get to 12% with the workouts and meal plan Bennett provided. I have worked with Bennett for 4 years and he helped me get through two pregnancies and work my way back from them. I have more confidence in myself and my body at the age of 27 than I ever have. The money I invested in myself, was quite honestly the best money I have ever spent. My whole life he changed as a result of the healthy lifestyle Bennett taught me to live.

I was extremely impressed by Bennett’s knowledge of all things fitness from diet to all things training. He tailored my workouts specific to what my goals were. He pushed me out of my comfort zone and I am amazed at what I have been able to achieve with him. He has always encouraged and pushed me to do better, even on days I felt like I couldn’t do it. I am so thankful I made the choice to train with Bennett. It has changed my life and given me more confidence than I ever thought possible.

I can finally say, I’m STRONG!

“When I started this over 4 years ago I weighed the same as I did when I went to the hospital to give birth to my oldest. I wasn’t comfortable in my own skin, I hid in my clothes. I can’t say that I’m 100% comfortable in my own skin yet or that I still don’t hide in my clothes but I’m getting there. I can finally say, I’m STRONG and i’m where I’ve ALWAYS wanted to be. Now onto even greater things!”
