Taking Action with Coach Jackson

EP10: Movement, Mindset, and Tonal with Nicolette Amarillas


Listen Later

In this episode, Coach Jackson brings on his long-time friend and movement coach Nicolette Amarillas to dig into how posture, pain, coaching mindset, and connected fitness all intersect. They explore why most people overlook movement mechanics, how to navigate setbacks and consistency, and how a tool like Tonal can be a powerful asset — if you use it intelligently.

In this episode you’ll learn:

  • Why posture and movement mechanics matter more than you think — and how flaws can cascade through your body
  • The difference between tension from strength vs. tension from weakness
  • How to self-assess pain and know when to seek out a professional
  • Strategies for staying consistent over months and years — even through life’s disruptions
  • What to look for in a movement coach or trainer (questions to ask, red flags, etc.)
  • Nicolette’s favorite and least-favorite Tonal exercises, and how to get more out of your machine
  • How connected/“connected-fitness” tools like Tonal change coaching — what works and what doesn’t
  • The meaning of “action” (in training and life) — and how to turn commitment into momentum

Memorable Quotes:

  • [03:07] “Posture … is not just sitting straight upright … how you begin and end movement will influence how you move.”
  • [19:54] “You need to be honest with yourself … pick a number of days you actually can do — even if it's just two.”
  • [45:38] “Taking action every single day starts with listening to your body … Where am I sore? How do I feel?”
  • [48:42] “You have to be accountable … you have to do it for yourself … you tell yourself you’ll do this — show up for that.”
