One Percent Better

Today’s episode is a hot topic - SLEEP! This is a common problem that we see in our clients - not enough sleep, can’t fall asleep, can’t sleep deeply enough - you name it. Sleep is the topic, and we’re here to provide some tips and tricks to help you get to sleep sooner, and stay asleep longer.

We’ll dive into the science behind why sleep is so important - all the hormones it regulates, and why the regulation of those hormones is essential to our health, performance, recovery, mood, .. all kinds of reason. We’ll also touch on routine changes you can make, and things you can do in the hours leading up to your bedtime that you can start to work on and improve your sleep.

Remember, changes in your sleep routines are very hard to incorporate, and require commitment and reps to help your body adjust to what it is you are asking of it. Have patience with yourself, but don’t give up. A better sleep IS possible, and IS within your control.

Listener questions this week - Let us know if you have problems sleeping or not. If so -- do you fall under the, “I’ve tried everything and nothing works!” mentality, and; If not -- what do you do that has set you up for success when it comes to your sleep?

When we first experienced the Lockdown, it forced us to re-evaluate a lot of the programs we offered, and how we went about offering them. One of the great things that came out of our restructuring was our at-home programming!

Today, we’re talking about our at-home programs, how they work, what they look like, and why they’re so effective at helping our clients accomplish their goals. Our at-home program works for clients when they are either located remotely, can’t make it into the gym because of such things as holidays, or sometimes it is used as a program that offers additional work to accomplish their goals.

Have you participated in our at-home program? Was it effective for you? If so, why? And if not, what do you think is your biggest barrier when it comes to working out at home if you were needing to?

This is one of the comments we hear the most when we are first sitting down with prospective clients, and it’s presented in many different ways. People come to us searching for more mobility, more flexibility, less pain, and the ability to increase the quality of their life. They want to be able to make it up and down the stairs without pain, or go on that family hiking trip and make it the entire way without their knee limiting them.

Mobility is important to our lives for many different reasons - the quality of life, performance reasons, or even ergonomically mobility becomes important at work!

We’ll take you through all the reasons why mobility is important, and where and how it might be limiting you from your daily life, all the way to your performance in the gym.

And as always, there is guaranteed to be a soapbox moment from Coach T!

It’s a fun one today! We are revisiting the roots of CFF and how we came to be. We will take you through all the changes over the course of a DECADE (yes, you read that right!). A little trip down memory lane, if you will!   As great as it is to reminisce about where we began and all the changes that came with it, many mistakes have been made, and lessons have been learned! We’ll touch on the 5 biggest mistakes we’ve made, and how we righted that ship.  These episodes are always light and always fun, and just like anything, it’s always necessary to look back on where you started and appreciate the growth and opportunity that has come along with the journey.  Our journey is a great one. 

Thank you to all that have been a part of it, or currently are.
