Things you did as a kid. Jump, Run, Crawl, Roll, Hang. Things you should do as an adult. Jump, Run, Crawl, Roll, Hang. We lose so much function as adults because we discontinue movement we did as children forcing us to Re-Learn how to move again.

How you view exercise will explain your relationship with movement. If you view it as a task, then you will treat it as such or procrastinate it. If you view it as a privilege, you will appreciate the ability you have to exercise. It’s all perspective.

Today is Friday. The weekend is here, your summer body is almost ready to reveal itself, and your calories still count on the weekend.

Your calories count on the weekend.

The duration of your training session doesn’t equate to the effectiveness of it. Longer workouts aren’t necessarily better, they’re just longer. It’s the conversation of productive time vs busy time.

I love seeing women train upper body more. For those who say I just want to tone my abs and butt, a nice upper body physique highlights your lower body and midsection more. It’s a game of symmetry. Same exact thing for men, do not neglect your legs.

Here’s the truth about mobility. Frequency is more important than duration. It needs to be done daily to see true results from it. Daily doses of 10-15 minutes on your trouble areas will be life changing. Do what works for you, no need to switch the movements daily.

One of the biggest ways to alleviate pain. Get stronger in your whole body. Not just a big squat, bench, and deadlift number. Get stronger everywhere and be persistent weekly, Then tell me how you feel months down the road.

Talent gets you in the door, work ethic keeps you in the room. Put in your 10,000 hours and then you’ll realize you’re just getting started. Every great has to put in their sweat equity.

Don’t confuse simplicity with easy.

Train exercises multiple times a week. No need to over complicate your training by trying something different every workout. Find what works and stick to it. Just manipulate your sets, reps, rest periods and tempos as needed for variation.

Persistency is crucial for life changing habits and events. Growth stems from discomfort and challenge.

New to the gym? Here’s a list of feats to strive for. 1. 1 Minute Dead Hang 2. 5 Chin Ups 3. 15 Push Ups 4. Goblet Squat 1/2 your body weight for 10 reps 5. 1 Minute Static Beast Hold 6. 2 Minute Chinese Plank 7. 8 Minute Mile 8. Do every exercise with good technique

Habits create results. Results do not come from inconsistent habits. Create a system of habits that align with your goals. Body composition and a increase to your fitness will be a byproduct of the system of habits you create.

Not being a fit for every client doesn’t make your coaching value any less. Coaches who feel that way typically do not have a grasp of their demographic, business structure, and lack a coaching identity.

PSA to coaches who's fitness has been stalling. Pick a goal and commit to it. Listen to the things you teach your clients. You can't do everything at once. You don't need me to tell you this because you already know, but somehow we continue to fall into this pattern.

Foundational skills are so important for your fitness. Your results come from having a proper sense of movement and understanding how nutrition works with your body. When those two things are locked in you'll understand the process of achieving the goals you set.

Advice to up and coming coaches. Find your demographic, get experience on the floor working with clients, be a generalist before a specialist, earn client trust and respect, build your name, be a professional.

Before you manage external load (weights), you need to learn how to manage your own bodyweight first. Calisthenics are essential for strength training. Proper breathing mechanics are also necessary in creating your fitness foundation. Address those two things early.
