[S10:E28] 5 Steps to regain oomph in your revision

[S10:E28] 5 Steps to regain oomph in your revision

Today Neale and I discuss how to regain your revision oomph, and restart after a while of non-action

We've organised it into 5 clear steps: 

1) Find Out Why You Stopped? ... and why haven't you restarted? Ask yourself "is that true"?

2) Why Do You Want To Do Revision, what is the "bigger picture" you are working towards

3) What's the deadline? Can you bring it closer?

4) Small chunks of revision every day 

5) Don't perfect one subject before moving on

[S10:E14] Do I have to be the Finished Article to be a FITPRO?

Have you ever thought that you need to be a "Finished Article" to be a FITPRO?

Today Neale and I dive into judgments, body image, perceptions, and expectations of being a FITPRO.

--> What would the finished article be? Does it exist? 

--> Can you coach a client to get a result?

--> Your journey and applying your lessons

--> This before That

--> It's our job to break down Stigmas that exist as a FITPRO

In today’s podcast episode, we discuss being flexible... and I don't mean muscles and joint ROM... we are talking about behavioural flexibility.

This is taken from a Live Video on our Facebook page, so you'll hear us reading the opinions of other FITPROs and Parallel learners too

We hope you enjoy the podcast and if you would like to share your thoughts and big takeaway, please message us here:  m.me/ParallelCoaching

Learn How To Challenge CLient Behavioural Flexibility with Behaviour Change 

Behavioural Change is one of 5 sections inside our new L3 Diploma in SUpporting Clients WIth Long Term Conditions

You can build knowledge and confidence Across 27 Long Term Conditions

Including Cancer, Eating Disorders, Stress, Anxiety, Fibromyalgia, Stroke, And Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Plus 20 More...

It's heavily documented that over 15 million people in the UK have a long-term condition.

The likelihood of a person reaching out or attending your FIT PRO service or product is therefore high.

We all know it's beneficial to train clients as soon as possible after being qualified, but what almost no one understands about training clients is that you cannot work with ANY client that FAILS a PAR-Q.

Even if the client gets a doctor's note saying they are fit to train... the FITPRO who trains them still needs to be adequately qualified if the client has a common clinical condition.

Ultimately... upon passing this NEW Diploma you can go on to plan and train clients that refer a PARQ and/or develop a long term condition whilst you train with them.

This is the only qualification that upskills you, provides the knowledge and confidence to plan and deliver safe and effective programs to those who have conditions.

S9:E13 Why Can't I Remember What I Revise?

If you have ever asked yourself ”Why Can’t I Remember What I Revise?” then you are not alone, this is the most common question that we get asked. It is usually followed by a description that regardless of the amount of time spent on revision the information just isn’t sticking in their head.

You might think that your “brain is broken” or that you are “no good at exams” or that your “memory is poor”, However, in today’s blog, we’ll explore the reasons why it can feel tricky to remember the content of your studies or to retain information ready for exam day.

Why Is It Hard to Remember Anatomy Revision?

You might think that your “brain is broken” or that you are “no good at exams” or that your “memory is poor”, however, it turns out that the biggest reason for low memory recall is not any of these things… instead it comes down to these three main causes:

  • Cause 1: Your Brain is Super Efficient For Survival
  • Cause 2: It’s how you are studying
  • Cause 3: Brain DOMS
How Can I Remember What I Revise Or Study?

Now you know some of the causes for your diminished memory after a Revision session, let’s dive into 4 clear tips that you can use to improve revision memory:

  • Memory Tip 1: Get Organised
  • Memory Tip 2: Simplify
  • Memory Tip 3: Learning Style
  • Memory Tip 4: Rest and Recovery
