One Percent Better

Today we’re talking about the ever-so-elusive question - “How much did you lift?”

You see the workout go up the night before, and right away, you’re thinking about how your buddy is going to use x weight and you want to use the same so you can try and beat them. Or you meet up with your buddy later in the day after you know they’ve done the workout already and you ask them, “How much did you lift?” so that you can archive that and build your workout later in the night when it’s your turn to go.

We’re going to break down this question and all of the behavioral reasons it comes up, as well as talk about what it means to become a “mature” athlete. We also dig into the ways this affects those around you, when it’s not something you necessarily consider when you first ask your buddy this question.

It’s a great conversation topic on today’s episode, and we really challenge you to stop and self-reflect on where you might fall on this spectrum. We challenge you to change your wording and help someone around you face the same growth in their own journey.

We cover all types of mindset behaviors in our FREE Facebook group, click here to join if you’re not in it already (https://www.facebook.com/groups/fitnessnutritioninyorkton – link this under “here” in the previous sentence if you can).

In today’s episode, we’re talking about the different roles your Coach plays in your journey, right from the beginning, and all along as you go.   

Our Coaches serve as a teacher when you first join to show you the direction that you need to go to achieve your goals. They’ll act as a guide to continue to keep you on track and directed down that path as distractions come up and want to pull you in different directions. And as you get deeper into your journey, your Coach will help filter you through all the noise and keep you always pointed forward as your goals continue to change.  

This is a great episode about the value of having that Coach behind you, in your corner. Our clients who work 1-on-1 with a Coach have a higher success rate when it comes to achieving their goals, and we dive into why that is.   We hope you enjoy this episode, and we’d love to hear all the experiences you have had at different points with your Coach!

In today’s episode, we’re dissecting some of the pieces that we work on with our 9 Week Level Up Transformation Program.

One of the things we start with is mapping out our client’s Perfect Day. We then tailor their routines to give as much structure in that direction of their Perfect Day. Within that structure, we map out their fitness and nutrition routines, and all the supporting habits that will help them be successful along the way.

On a day-to-day basis, we want our clients to start each day with their Big 3 Non-Negotiables. In this episode, we’ll tell you all about what they are, what they mean, and why this is a step that we take in getting our day organized and ultimately getting us closer to our goals and towards the type of person we want to become.

Our listener questions this week have to do with this, and we want to hear what you’ve got mapped out for your Big 3 Non-Negotiables! Send them our way!

Sometimes when we embark on a new fitness journey, we don’t anticipate the other changes that we are going to experience along the way. We have watched many clients come through our doors and transform into entirely different people through their fitness and wellness journeys. It’s been an incredible thing to witness, and also is one of our favorite parts of the job.

On today’s episode, this conversation was spurred on by a specific transformational revelation one of our 9 Week Level Up clients experienced. This is a common thing we see with many of our clients. Major life transformations are happening because you yourself are having a transformational moment through it all. This often means things like job promotions, solving relationship problems, taking big risks, etc happen because you gain a ton of confidence through these uncomfortable situations you are routinely putting yourself in.

We’ll explore what some of these things mean, and why they’re happening. We also are searching for our listeners to share their experiences with us as well!

Enjoy this episode – We definitely did, as this is such an exciting topic to chat about.

In today’s episode, we’re covering some controversial topics surrounding what it means to be healthy and fit. From an appearance perspective, from a physical ability perspective - you name it. So often our society will look at a naturally thin and lean person and deem them as “healthy,” but quite often when you have the objective measurements of what they’re composed of, or you watch them perform daily activities, this is actually not the case.

We’ll challenge your thinking on today’s episode, so buckle in. Share your experiences with us after you have a listen, and let us know how you grade yourself as well!

Keeping up with our fitness while on vacation is important, but sometimes it can be intimidating stepping into another CF gym as a guest. We’ve been there ourselves, and today we’re going to talk about some experiences we have had while travelling!

The CF community at-large makes it feel like a small world. And through our travels, we’ve come across many experiences that have been great ones, but also some that have left some not-so-great impressions on us as well!

This is a fun little episode and we hope you enjoy listening! If you’ve had some great or not-so-great experiences while travelling to other CF gyms on your holidays, we’d love to hear what your take-aways were!

Have you ever got caught in that social event that turned from one meal out with friends, to 8 days of junk food, wine, and no exercise?

How many of you have labeled that as, “I’m just having a bad day,” and continued to let it bleed into the week that followed? Maybe this turned into the month or the entire year. You let one thing go, and it just snowballed and now you have lost total control.

Today we’re talking about how in all of these experiences, there are always things to learn and move forward with. We’ll also talk about small and big steps you can take to get back on track. Sometimes it’s about solely perspective - so we’ll cover that too.

Toss us your answers to our listener question this week, and make sure you enjoy the episode!
