#NeverStopMoving

Hi There Welcome to the #BeliefSeries! This is where I share my core beliefs about certain topics. You are welcome to comment and leave a topic to be discussed. The #Belief Series  features Tuesdays and Thursday! Today's topic...Perfection   I believe "Perfection" lies in the imperfections. We cannot know what "perfect" is if we have not been or seen or experienced what imperfect is... Make sense? I also believe to be perfect you need to have been broken or still be. You cannnot be perfect and not have had perfect experiences of everything. I also believe it is an illusion. It is and always will be unattainable and unrealistic. What makes us as humans unique is our imperfections. I also believe that media makes us believe there is a "perfect" but this is not true all it does is hide the imperfections, which causes us to to the same.We need to learn to love our imperfections, as humans and as individuals.  We do not have to be "perfect". W...

Hi There Welcome to the #BeliefSeries! This is where I share my core beliefs about certain topics. You are welcome to comment and leave a topic to be discussed. The #Belief Series  features Tuesdays and Thursday! Today's topic... Goals and goal setting. This is another topic close to my heart. I get so... passionate... about this topic. Believe it or not your goal is the difference of how you train. Your goal is the science in exercise. That is the secret. Movement and the how and why behind it is what makes us different. We all move. We kind of have to to be considered alive. Like I've said before movement is life.  A goal is precise but permeable.  That is why our goal should be clear and well defined and yes, planned. When we make career goals we have a set plan, we "train"  for that goal. Why would this be different when we creating goals for our body or health? A goal should also be realistic. This BEING REALISTIC is where the trouble comes in when we are m...

Hi There Welcome to the #BeliefSeries! This is where I share my core beliefs about certain topics. You are welcome to comment and leave a topic to be discussed. The #Belief Series  features Tuesdays and Thursday! Today's topic was inspired by a reader that commented. So here goes. Visualization is an interesting topic. I do believe it is important. I believe that visualization has a place in our training, goal setting. But again it has a part. It is not the be all and end all. I can not "see" myself healthy but I do not "do" anything it is useless. To me it plays a big role in goal setting. Working towards your vision. I also believe that it is a great tool to use during rehab for athlete's ect. It keeps the brain connected to the movement even if the limb is isolated or immovable. Again the power of the mind is what is at play.  I believe that visualization should be seen as a verb, not a noun. We need do DO something to MOVE toward the VISION.  I hop...

Hi There Welcome to the #BeliefSeries! This is where I share my core beliefs about certain topics. You are welcome to comment and leave a topic to be discussed. The #Belief Series  features Tuesdays and Thursday! Onward to today's topic... Food! I feel like every topic so far I have loved.Annddd I love food!! I  do not believe in diets and HATE them, but I believe in BALANCE. If I eat let's call it "bad" today I will focus on eating better today and work out a bit harder than I usually do. I also balance how and what I eat with how and why I train/workout. I look at food as follows :We eat to survive not survive to eat. This helps me to discern why am I eating and how I am eating.    I believe food is there to fuel us and make movement possible. I believe that eating should be a joyful activity and that food brings people together.  I believe food should not cause bad feelings and should definitely not cause any anxiety. We should focus on making be...

Hi There Welcome to the #BeliefSeries! This is where I share my core beliefs about certain topics. You are welcome to comment and leave a topic to be discussed. The #Belief Series  features Tuesdays and Thursday! Onward to today's topic... Sport Science. I love Sport Science. I love the fact that there is a science behind gaining better performance. There is a knowledge much greater than just the "dumb jock" building muscle to look good or just be eye candy for those who do not understand the sport!!! What I even love more about my field is that we still do not understand half of what has been published, researched and still being studied. To be honest I don't think we will ever understand movement in its full capacity and I think it is ok. We do not need to. If we do I think some of our wonder and amazement will disappear. I also believe that we as humans move consciously. We can think about and adapt our movement in a pattern that took conscious t...

Hi There Welcome to the #BeliefSeries! This is where I share my core belief about certain topics. You are welcome to comment and leave a topic to be discussed. The #Belief Series  features Tuesdays and Thursday! Onward to today's topic... Pilates  I love Pilates.I believe that Pilates is a great form of exercise and should be part of every exercise regime. In fact I believe that everyone should at least start with Pilates before they move on to other forms of exercise. I say this because Pilates teaches control over our movement. We consciously do every movement and at the same time learn the correct way to activate and deactivate muscles we were never aware af. We also learn how breathing plays a role in our movement.  Pilates is a great way to teach the body and mind to communicate; talk the same language!  It is very conducive for this process because of the focus that it takes and the environment is also more  relaxed. Thus you can focus on your mov...
