Many clients have shared with me over the last year that their day-to-day activity has decreased. 

Were you the person that worked at corporate headquarters that used to walk a couple football field lengths from the parking lot to your office?

Or maybe you stopped doing grocery shopping and switched to delivery.

Maybe daily and weekly meetings have switched to virtual?

However life has changed for you in the last year one theme has been pretty consistent… we are moving less. The MAJOR PROBLEM with this is we as a culture already didn’t move much before 2020.

With an increase in sitting, you may have noticed weight gain? The second issue is back pain.

Increased sitting weakens our lumbar spine. The muscles that hold your pelvis tall shut off with prolonged sitting.

Our hip flexors get weaker, and shorten which creates a vicious cycle. Short hip flexors (muscles that run from our low back to our femur bones) pull our pelvis out of position into a tucked under pelvic. (Think 90 year old man)

Why you should care is because a tucked under pelvic pulls your shoulders forward and the next thing you know you may feel like you look a decade older.

The good news is with proper posture exercises we have for you, load bearing exercises standing, and extending your spine all can improve your posture and strengthen your body.

We would love to help you with these areas of your body… let your trainer know the next time you see them.

I have been passionate about helping people get fit and active over the last 20 plus years. 

What is alarming is we gained even more weight over the last year by doing even less than we did before 2020.

An old picture memory popped up on my computer. The picture was of me surfing in the Outer Banks in late spring that year. As I looked at the picture I noticed a father with his 2 daughters. Dad was out of shape and comfortable with standing in ankle deep water with his 2 daughters near him.

Nothing remarkable about the picture, yet the father in the picture was not looking at his daughters. He’s looking at me.

Why?

Muliple photos show him watching me catch wave after wave. I think the reality is this dad wanted to get in the game. He wanted to be out there with me. Yet reasons prevented him from doing that.

Part the of cool thing I do as a profession is motivate, encourage and strive to get people to find those activities they love to do and go out and do them.

Post 2020 I have not skateboarded, surfed, or kiteboarded as much as I would have liked. As I teach what I preach I will make a point of getting outside and doing the activities that make me come alive more this year.

If you need coaching, accountability and guidance let us know.

My wife and I moved to a 5 acre horse farm in 2019. To say it was a lot of work the first year was an understatement. We completely remodeled the entire house. What has been a blessing in disguise has been the amount of physical effort it takes to keep up with the home.

I’ll give you a very real example. Taking out the trash. Such an easy task for me in my previous home. Here I have to take my trash can about 200 meters on a gravel road up hill. This is not an exaggeration. Anyone that comes to our house will mention how we should get a 4-wheeler to take the trash to the street. (I don’t mind)

Cutting the grass, moving logs, bushes, branches, and watching out for wild animals are all par for the course. I once headed to my barn to almost walk into a baby deer resting near the door.

I was shocked to see this little guy there who struggled to stand and walk because of their young age.

The silver lining to all this has been my activity in 2019-2021 has gone up not down.

My question to you is simply this… in 2021 are you more active than you were in 2019?

2020 changed the way many of us do business and live our lives. Many businesses don’t require you to go to the office. Normal activity like walking has decreased. Many don’t need to leave their houses to do normal tasks they once did.

I feel more compelled than ever to help coach and motivate our clients to train. We are committed to helping you stay fit and active in a world where activity has fallen off a cliff.

Our Drop the Weight Challenge is wrapping up next week. My weekly coaching calls have gone well and I have recorded all of those calls. If you are interested watching our nutrition program videos- please let me know and I’ll get you access.

Our Cardio Challenge for May will be starting soon. We would love for you to take part in our next challenge. The cardio challenge is a great excuse to be more active during a beautiful time of year.

Finally, finding ways to be active in your day to day life is key. In moving to a horse farm I have found a way to be more active. 

What ways can you find in your life to be more active and healthy?
