I want to share a success tip with you. As a society we are notorious for not sharing enough information with others that can be useful for attaining personal success.
Stick with me through this story and I will share the information that has helped me achieve my current level of fitness.
I have had the unique privilege of getting to spend time with a few masters such as The “Horse Whisperer” and my brother Travis. One major thing they all have in common is the desire to share their knowledge, wisdom and experience in hopes it will help others on their journey to success.
As I spoke in my earlier post, we all need a hero of intervention sometimes. Many of you know I am a certified personal trainer who went to intense schooling for six months to get my license to personal train. I have loved lifting since high school and it’s been a huge part of my life for years. When I made major changes recently, one of the things I realized is, it was time to relinquish total control of my life because obviously my control was not working.
Part of this new life change started with the physical area of my body. I had quit working out for an entire year because I was so burned out and discouraged. My body, mind and will just said, “enough is enough”. But once I made some life changing decisions, the desire to start training again began to awaken. I knew deep down that I MUST change my approach or I'd wind up burned out and quitting my exercise regimen yet again.
So I called upon the higher power of a personal training team called Final Move Fitness. I was terrified believe it or not. Me, a certified personal trainer calling upon another personal trainer to take control of my workouts?! What!? Was I insane?! No, but I was really nervous. Relinquishing control is fucking terrifying!!!
But I did it. I called the lead trainer and we spoke for a while. I shared my resistance and my fear to giving them control, but I also knew it was the right thing for me to do. I needed to break old patterns and cycles that were taking me to the edge of nowhere.
And so. . . it began. I started receiving workouts via a personal app they had me download. With videos of every exercise for that day. It also included a very simple guideline on how many reps and sets I was to do along with my duration of rest between exercises. I was on a work trip to Cincinnati Ohio, when I received my first workout routine from my designated trainer Scott at Final Move Fitness. At first I was very skeptical and wondered what the hell I got myself into. I wanted to quit before I even began. My guts were turning with unease at losing control of MY workouts; but I told myself to give it one month and then I could quit if I was not happy with this crazy idea. I walked out of the locker room and onto the gym floor where I began the first routine. By the end of my workout my legs were on fire and my arms were jello. My heart felt open and alive! My mind found relief as one more burden of control was lifted from its plate. My soul felt utter power and satisfaction in my new exercise routine.
Fast forward 4 months into my training with Final Move Fitness, and I am stronger, wiser, and my body feels better than it ever has. I wanted to share this story because I want everyone to have the same success or more success than I. I have not been able to do pull-ups since before I had kids and now as you can see I am doing pull ups again! Like I said, we all need an intervention hero sometimes to reach our desired outcomes. So if you feel it is correct for you, give these guys a call to see if their programs work for you. Every workout comes to the app every week so you don't ever go into the gym lost with what to do. It's right there at the tip of your fingers. You even get a weekly call with your designated trainer to discuss the week, how you are feeling and if you would like to change anything. It is the best thing I have ever done for my body, mind, and my physical fitness! Here's to relinquishing control and setting it all free!
