Putting In The Effort

Image
Hi There  I love my job. I love that I get to help and see other peoples' progress. I feel honored being a part of their journey.  But THEY need to put in the effort. When we start on their movement journey, we enter into an accountability relationship.This means we are accountable towards each other and our goals. I need to design programmes that challenges you in every way and that meets your physical standards and i need to make sure all this happens in a safe and productive way. YOU need to do the WORK. YOU need to put IN the EFFORT at your highest ability for it to work. I CAN NOT DO IT FOR YOU! I can shout, jump, do every movement with you whatever it takes, but I CANNOT DO THE WORK FOR YOU! Even if I sometimes wish I could.  Remember we are in this together. Sometimes it takes longer to see results or due to injury we get frustrated, but that is life. We have to push through the feelings and follow Nike and JUST DO IT. We might even have to start over or go in a diffe

We Are People Too...

Hi There  Coaches, Personal Trainers, Instructors etc. are people too. I am saying this because I feel like we forget this factor. Even though they are carrying over their knowledge over to us and plan out our sessions and then essentially lead us in their sessions. They are human.  Sometimes their planing wasn't up to par or had some logistic problems, but to judge them too hard on this factor is not fair.

Think about it. If they are not motivated how on earth are they going to motivate you? But luckily most

The Struggle Is Real... Depression

Hi There  Today I want to talk about depression. It is a very real problem in our society. One that does not get spoken a lot. It flares up when we hear about a suicide of a celeb or some young teenager. Then after the buzz is over it is swept under the rug. I think a big part of the problem is that we don't understand what it is, how it works, just that it  exists. I think the only people who can come close to explain it are those suffering from it. They can not tell why but they can enlighten those who are not affected. You see because it has to do with feeling we find it hard to articulate and carry it over, but together we can create a language. Because everybody feels low sometimes and go through emotional rollercoasters, but depression is different. I think it is time to move out of the darkness and talk without judgement.  Movement can help with depression, but the motivation to move is the problem. You want to but feel like lead. This is where a support system can really
