We're curious by nature, born to explore, test our limits and ask questions. It's easier to explore, test those limits, and ask those questions when you feel your best.
IF you don't know, ask yourself what it might FEEL and be like to put your health first. Your best life is waiting for you. #healthiswealth #leadbyexample #fitness #cheerleader #conditioning #minnesota #coonrapids #curious #explore #limits #askquestions #workout #fitness #slam #personaltrainer #transformation #answersnotexcuses

Them: "The only thing that's ever worked for changing my body composition is what we're doing with strength training, and the changes I've made with my nutrition. I got dressed for work and on my way I had to stop and buy a belt because my pants were to loose!" Me: "Exactly! When you want to change your body composition that's what you need to do. Along with the other things we've done to get your body capable of doing that safely, and for the other conditioning stuff we've done as well." Long story short Mr. John Jingleheimer Schmidt, I CAN believe that. PS: I laughed way to hard at this picture. #weightloss #personaltrainer #minnesota #coonrapids #AnswersNotExcuses #bodytransformation #onlinepersonaltraining #strengthtraining #motivation  One of the most overlooked factors people neglect when they workout is stability. They won't see results because they can't get their body to the point it can go hard enough because they lack the stability to withstand the workouts needed to get them to their goals. Let alone having the know how in how to get to them. If you want to lose weight or gain strength this is something you HAVE to do. Below is an example of one exercise you could do. Check out this hip extension drill that mimics running. If you don't have a cable machine you can use a band instead. If you don't have those either you can do this drill without anything at all. You can just bring your leg in front of you a little bit as opposed to letting the cable or band at a high anchor point pull you up a bit. It's also great for balance and coordination . #walking #hips #balance #glutes #coordination #heat #minnesota #hipextension #warm #sweat #fitness #workout #workoutmotivation #lfg #stability #eds #ehlersdanlossyndrome
 Whatever you do your body will adapt to. Want rounded shoulders, a stiff back, neck pain, and to cause dysfunction? Sit all day and do nothing to change those things. People don't often think of mobility when it comes to #bodybuilders but when someone goes through a certain range of motion consistently they generally KEEP that. Going through full ranges of motion and working on muscular imbalances will at the VERY LEAST allow you to keep that range of motion and hold your joints in more preferable positions. Cramped for time and need to work on strength AND mobility? Work in exercises like the #pike pictured above to be time efficient with your workouts. Need other ideas of what exercises would make that list?

Musculoskeletal and energy storage/fat mass. If you lost 10lbs of fat right now and gained 10lbs of muscle you would weigh the exact same but your body would shift 20lbs. You would literally take up less space as muscle is denser then fat. When you strength train progressively and add muscle tissue over time you raise your resting metabolism that helps you keep fat off. By adding muscle tissue and creating A SAFE caloric deficit you can lower your body fat percentage. It takes TIME to add muscle tissue with consistency of the right things overtime with your NUTRITION & EXERCISE. The human body is the ultimate feedback tool. If you're not getting the results you want, you're likely not giving it the right instructions. If you're not getting the results you want, reach out and let's review what you've been telling your body to do! #humans #nutrition #lift #monalisa #health #fatloss #onlinepersonaltrainer #coonrapids #muscle #art #time #consistency #strengthtraining #bodytransformation  The bodies the ultimate feedback tool, there's a reason somethings happening or not happening. It took me 4 months to be able to do this again on my wrist. It's almost back to normal but it's still tighter then it should be. While I could keep working out and just modify things my wrist caused me to do things differently. My shoulder and back started getting irritated because of things I couldn't do at the time. I knew what was happening but my wrist would only allow so much. That was with me diligently addressing it. What reoccurring issue do you have or prior injury you never actually addressed?

This person got about 35 workouts in that time with these results in those 9 weeks. They hadn't been working out and we had to start slow and iron out some imbalances before we could start going harder. They ate to much at times and to little at others. They also kept trying, kept improving and are really hitting their stride now. I'm excited to post a comparison in another 3 months showing how much further they've come at that point!
They did this all with limited time while working 3 jobs. You don't need a crazy amount of equipment to get started and see results! You can see how much more upright they're already and while only about 2lbs lighter they've dropped SEVERAL inches! (They also didn't think I'd seriously use a picture of Saweetie to cover their face. But I'm a man of my word) EDIT: I've since updated this post to include the following month and with their permission I was able to uncover their face. #fitness #beforeandafter #weightloss #getstarted #personaltrainer #coonrapids #onlinecoach #onlinetrainer #results #goals #rap #saweetie #workoutmotivation #fitfam #makeithappen #noexcuses #lol  There will generally always be chaos and you'll probably have some fire to put out somewhere. Things will almost never be optimal. But if you continue to do what you can you'll be surprised at how far that can take you.
Have you said any of these? 1. I just don't know if now is the right time. Well, when IS the right time to feel better and improve your health ? Perhaps during a pandemic? 2. Once I get through this week things will be better. Sometimes this can be true, maybe it's a finals week, you're moving, or some hit the fan but if it's just a blip on the map that's no big deal. Otherwise most people say this and then repeat it...indefinitely. 3. Tomorrow/next week I'll start. The future can't be "magical" if you don't choose to make changes. 4. I can only be all or nothing. Something will ALWAYS be better then nothing. Again, nothings usually perfect hence the pictures I posted with this. But I've learned a lot the past couple months with a nasty wrist sprain that I'm still battling. It's not optimal, but it IS better then nothing and if I hadn't shown up I couldn't have learned those things . The reason almost anyone makes progress with anything is they don't just show up on the good days. But everyday anyone can show up, IS a good day What does it take for someone to realize their obstacles were not as REAL/BIG as they thought before? The person I am pictured with hadn't allowed anyone to take their picture in 10yrs! Yet when I asked them if I could and post about it, they said absolutely! They decided as of Jan 1st to get their life back and dropped from 480lbs to 441lbs. We have dropped another 12lbs the past 2 weeks training in person and online to help hold them even more accountable and they feel A LOT better already. If you have thought to yourself for quite some time I really need to workout, or lose this 10, 20, 30, 50, 80lbs, etc... get on it! Time is going to pass anyways you may as well put it to the best use possible. Sometimes all it takes is ONE decision and at least ONE person believing in you to realize your biggest obstacle will always be YOU!  |
