Putting all your effort into the WORK of a training session becomes most effective when your body is primed and ready. You should never go into a training session "cold," for many reasons. Your body can be overly active in certain areas, it can be inactive in other areas, your circulation is slower, your core temperature is lowered and your blood vessels aren't dilated enough to keep up with demand. Not only are you not getting the most out of your time, but you could risk serious injury that could keep you from exercises even longer.

We break down and discuss the 3 factors to a successful warm-up.

1. Mobility

2. Activation

3. Core Temperature and circulation.

A lot of people spin their wheels by experiencing the same roadblocks that shut down performance and continued effort. The first step is owning your own triggers, discovering your passions and what drives you. Then it's about being on the right path to unlock your potential. See anyone can google the best program for a specific goal. What matters is how the program is administered; progression/regression. In order for a coach to deliver the best results on a program they need to understand their client or athlete.  

In this episode we discuss the importance of mindset to keep consistent effort to yield consistent results. If you're a client or athlete, then it's important you have a coach who will listen to you, who will be your advocate, who will know how to push you past your limiting beliefs and behaviors. What sets apart people who are successful and not, is being the master of their mind to perform at their best when it matters most. This is done by knowing yourself and conveying it to your coach so you can both be on the same page for appropriate training.

Understanding strengths, weaknesses, goals and ambitions are a start. But to continue to be effective you need to know what drives you in the toughest moments, what triggers wreck you to your core. What is going to make you dig in and push harder towards that goal, and what is going to completely set you back and let that boulder roll back down the hill that you worked so hard to push up. 

If you're ready to be on the path to performing your best or just want feedback about your current program, book a call with one of our Coaches today.
