Fitness Recovery 2.0

It accounts for almost 95% of fitness training results, yet most active adults don’t do it.

It’s clear. Athletes get injured or don’t see significant gains because they don’t know how to properly recover.

Whether you’re a CrossFitter, triathlete, and yes, even a weekend warrior – you need a system to incorporate recovery into your training. (And if you want to know how to start seamlessly incorporating recovery into your lifestyle, sign up to my free webinar.)

If you’re starting to feel a level of burnout or fatigue, if the motivation to push yourself is missing, or if you think you get results from working yourself to death in the gym, it’s time to rethink fitness…

Don’t let injury, overtraining or fatigue prevent you from reaching your goals.

Do any of these symptoms sound familiar to you?

  • Persistently “meh” workouts, plateaus or a decrease in performance
  • Difficulty losing fat especially around the midsection
  • Minor, nagging injuries or feeling sore and achy all the time
  • Not feeling 100% — catching minor bugs, feeling run-down
  • Poor sleep, feeling restless on the nights you train or irregular sleep patterns
  • Never feeling well-rested in the morning or low energy throughout the day
  • Loss of sex drive

Hydration Masterclass

“Water is the driving force of all nature.” – Leonardo da Vinci

49639f64-87eb-4e67-8952-cb7ca82002b4

In the previous lesson we covered Mindset, the first pillar of health and fitness. The next pillar is Sustenance.

I’m sure you already know what you should be eating for maximum athletic performance. I’m not going to get into that.

I want to talk to you about hydration and high-quality water, a much more important topic than food. Just because you drink water doesn’t mean it’s going to go where it needs to go.

Mental Toughness Masterclass

“Just remember, the sweet is never as sweet without the sour.” Brian from Vanilla Sky

First, the definition:

“The inner quality that enables individuals to work hard and stick to their short-term goals and long-term passions, coupled with a powerful motivation to achieve their respective objective.”

Now the word:

Grit.

Grit isn’t about how fast you are or how much weight you can put up; it’s about what your mind is telling you when you’re experiencing discomfort.

Grit is what drives you through a grueling workout. It’s what pushes you to do better than the last time.

I know you’ve heard this voice before.

10X Your Potential Intro

If you put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus and you must go beyond them.  ― Bruce Lee

You’re consistent with your training – you have the fitness aspect dialed in, right?

But that’s not today’s topic. What I want to talk to you about today are the gaps that you’re not aware of that are limiting you…preventing you from realizing your full potential.

Giving a workout your all is hard…it hurts to push yourself. Muscles burn, breathing becomes difficult, and your mind starts to tell you to stop.

I’ve been there just like you.

There’s a way to make it easier. What if you could make small tweaks to your daily habits that reduced injury, increased energy, and took our performance to the next level?

Today is the start of 10X Your Potential.
