Becoming the Ultimate Fitness Coach with the Jock and the Doc

Becoming the Ultimate Coach #4 covers defining healthy. There are people, messages, advertisements etc. that try and tell us what is healthy every single day.

But what is healthy for one person (having an ice cream cone with your child after playing at the park) can be unhealthy for others (eating a pint of Haagen-Dazs by yourself each night).

One of the first things our Weight Loss Behavior Coaches do with clients is help them define healthy and in doing so teach their clients that healthy behaviors should be seen on a spectrum.

There is no need to jump from one end to the other because that approach will inevitably lead to backsliding back to unhealthy.

Weight Loss Behavior Coaches teach their clients how to create healthier replacement behaviors that incrementally move their clients toward the healthy side of the spectrum so that they can reach their goals and move beyond them instead of yo-yoing up and down on the scale like the majority of people out there.

The newest episode of Becoming the Ultimate Coach, the Jock (Scott Schutte) and the Doc (Dr. Janine Stichter) are covering M.E.D. and the power of 3.

M.E.D. stands for minimal effective dose. In other words, what is the least amount of change you can introduce to your clients' lives and still get the desired results.

It is a common trend in the fitness space to be all-in. This approach is attractive because it can come with quick results. The problem is it that more often than not, those results do not last.

Instead, find your client's M.E.D. and the easiest way to do that is through the power of 3. Have you ever wondered why area codes, phone numbers, and SSN is broken into 3 or 4 digits at a time?

The human brain is wired to best remember three things at a time so instead of throwing all new foods plus a new workout plan and on and on, give your clients 3 simple strategies to work on between sessions.

At HBI, we use deficiency, caloric offender, and activity to categorize these three strategies. Either nutritionally or otherwise, what is your client deficient in? Find a way to add that minimal disruption to their normal routine.

What snacks or go-to foods does your client eat that keep putting them in a caloric surplus? Find a healthier replacement to try and minimize that surplus.

The 3rd strategy is pretty simple. Get your client to find something active that they enjoy and get them to do it each day or a few times a week.

Let us know if you have any questions about M.E.D. and the power of 3 and let us know what you would like us to cover in the future.

The 2nd Becoming the Ultimate Coach is all about goal clarification. Misalignment on goal prioritization and a lack of realistic timelines to achieve those goals is a quick way to lose clients.

The Jock (Scott Schutte) and the Doc (Dr. Janine Stichter)  break down the most common goals they hear from clients and then how to work with clients to create specific and realistic goals to accelerate real results.

Have you ever wondered what is the difference between the average personal trainer and the ultimate fitness coach? 

In this week's Becoming the Ultimate Coach, the Jock (Scott Schutte) and the Doc (Dr. Janine Stichter) break down how to begin bridging the gap and truly become the ultimate fitness professional. 

If you want to have the schedule you want, make the money you deserve and make a major impact in your clients' lives, you must address more than just the physical side of fitness. You have to delve into stress management, nutrition, mindset, sleep, etc.

Let us know what other questions you have, issues your clients struggle with, and topics you'd like us to cover and we will give you a shoutout when we get to your topic.
