🌟 Fitness Friday: Boost your savings game with the 52-Week Savings Challenge! 🌟 | Discovery Coaching Group posted on the topic | LinkedIn (2024)

When you start working on your health and fitness to get healthy and fit, develop better habits, lose a few extra kilos or whatever the case may be, one thing you probably don’t expect is how your mind transforms.⁣I’ve seen people grow courageous enough to start businesses because of their fitness results (wink wink - speaking from my own experience 😉).I’ve seen people choose to leave bad relationships from the confidence they built through fitness.⁣I’ve seen 50 and 60-year-old previously unathletic people pursue fitness certifications because of how their results made them feel and the desire to pass that on to others.⁣I’ve seen and helped many working mums get better (or the best) shapes of their life after they had two or more kids. I have witnessed how their mindset shifted during their health and fitness journey and became unstoppable in achieving their goals.𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝘂𝗺 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗺𝗲, 𝗷𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆, 𝗸𝗶𝗱𝘀, 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝗯 𝗮𝗻𝗱/𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀, 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗶𝘁𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲.My advice is to 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲.This could be making the right choices at most meals; to do any form of workout (or just walking) that you enjoy for 20 mins a day. Make a list of the small things you can do every day and take one action at a time. Then you can add the next step and then the next. If you keep taking a step forward, you eventually arrive at your destination.⁣When you start to build your confidence and see results around something you may have previously believed to be impossible, it’s incredible what areas of your life open up.⁣So, whether you’re deep into your fitness journey or just thinking about getting started, know that if you keep your mind open, success in fitness shows you that anything is possible.⁣Fitness is empowerment to the core. Believe it and be amazed by the expansion of your mind. 💪💛-------🔔 👉P.S.

🕒 If you think you have neither the time nor energy for your fitness… let me tell you a story!Raise your hand if you’ve ever caught yourself in a Netflix marathon when you know you should be getting a workout in or getting your meal prep done…👋 ← That’s me, raising my hand.During a stressful time a while ago, I caught myself in that loop, and it was starting to take its toll.I felt exhausted and overwhelmed!The problem is, it's easy to let these small distractions eat up the time meant for our real priorities. In my house we say that if you don’t take care of the small things then they lead to bigger problems.That’s when I decided it was time to get REAL about my priorities — and give them the TIME and ATTENTION they deserve.And that meant scheduling them – yes, directly into my calendar, so they would be non-negotiable — to make sure they got checked off!When you have a plan then important things have a place. I scheduled important things like workouts and prep work into blocks of time on my Google Calendar. Time blocking helped me transform my 'I wish' into 'I will' — and the results? Incredible!I also empowered my support system, aka my family members, to call me out when they saw me drifting into time wasters at a time I had higher priorities.If you're struggling to make time for your health goals, let's connect. Drop me a DM or comment below, and let’s talk about how you can find time for your goals.

This is draining you more than you think…What's standing between you and your fitness goals?The reason is there. Like a shadow. Just lingering. We know it's there, but we ignore it, hoping it'll go away on its own.But these hurdles drain your energy… resources… and confidence.And worst yet, they reinforce the old stories we tell ourselves about our ability to change.Example:A client told me that during the pandemic, she got into the habit of having a glass of wine before dinner — every single night. (Let's call her Sara.)It became habit for her. Once she got home from work, out came the wine bottle.Because Sara was trying to trying to get into better shape... that wine habit became like a shadow. BUT… this isn't even about the wine.It's about ANYTHING that helps you "numb out" from the day… a bowl of ice cream, a couple of hours playing video games, a nighttime TV habit, or doom scrolling on your phone.At some point those habits were serving you in some way — maybe they provided a temporary comfort, a distraction, or helped you escape stress.👉 But the fact is that now, they're an obstacle between you and your goals.Do YOU have any "numbing out" habits that aren't serving you any longer?Pinpointing them is the first step. At 360 Fitness, we do NOT recommend cutting out every obstacle at the same time. And we don't hold judgement - we all get low sometimes. But if you start by targeting those unhelpful habits one by one, before you know it you'll gain a huge amount of momentum — and be that much closer to crushing your goals.AND… bonus! Just acknowledging those "shadows" helps take away their power.

Your health and fitness journey is about more than just physical transformation; it impacts your overall well-being, including your clarity of purpose and values. There is a relationship between having clear values and purpose for your life and the influence they have on your health and fitness journey. Most people get caught in a negative cycle of starting and stoping on their goals. If you prioritize your health and fitness you can fuel your values and purpose, creating a positive cycle of growth. Having clear values is a compass, guiding your actions and decisions. When you define the type of person you want to be, you establish a foundation for your health and fitness journey. For example, one of my clients goals is resilience, because that’s what she wants to develop she perceives the challenges she has in the gym and the process of staying consistent with life happening 1000mph with dedication and perseverance. The obstacle is the way. She knows the resilience she build in the gym will be applied to her family and business. When you align your fitness goals with your purpose, exercising and taking care of your body become a clearer investment that contribute to your overall well-being. My wife and I worked out and ate well for our mental health at first. It was our go to stress management technique. But when we had our first child purpose became clearer we wanted to lead by example. Whether your purpose is to be a role model for your family or to lead an organization , incorporating health and fitness into your purpose reinforces their importance beyond just looking good.As you take care of your body and mind, you become better equipped to live in alignment with your values and pursue your purpose with greater clarity and vitality. This positive cycle becomes a habit and accelerates personal growth.

The reason you aren’t reaching fitness goals is because you keep looking for short-cuts instead of focusing on the long game...Yesterday I was talking to a busy mom about doing what she can and finding ways to integrate fitness into her day. A topic that isn't sexy and quickly glazes over anybody's eyes who's not interested in hearing it.Which got me thinking...This is what's fundamentally wrong with the whole fitness industry.We "grew up" in the space consuming marketing about losing 20lbs in 14 days, huge body transformations in a short amount of time, new diet after diet that promises quick, easy and permanent weight loss…blah blah blahBut nobody teaches the boring concept (doing what you can in the season of life you are in) that makes all the other things possible.| "don’t have time" vs. I’ll "do what I can" are very different when it comes to making a lifestyle change.| "don’t have time" this is a sign you are neglecting your health. | "don’t have time" is an excuse that gives you “permission” to not prioritize your health. | "don’t have time" is not a fact it’s a thought, a belief you have created.This whole I “don’t have time” vs. I’ll “do what I can” is similar to...It "should" and it "does" work.Does it or doesn't it?Do you understand or don't you?It's funny...If you were talking with a friend and they were feeling overwhelmed you’d probably give them the advice to “do what you can.”If you were talking with your child and they were learning something new, you’d probably give them the advice to “keep practicing and little by little you’ll will get it.”Weird... it's almost like “doing what you can” is important or something. Anyway,Stop avoiding the boring concept of doing what you can in the season of life you are in. Nobody can help you (nor can you help yourself) when your decision making is rooted in thoughts you’ve created and not facts.

Death By ComparisonOne of the worst things you can do is compare yourself to someone else.And unfortunately, social media has created a “Culture of Comparison” that’s extremely unhealthy, not to mention destructive to your fitness goals.That “influencer” with the 6-pack abs who can do pull-ups for days hasn’t been on the same journey you’re on. Maybe they don’t have kids, a 9-5 job, endless Zoom meetings and laundry to do.In my experience, the people who say the most on social media are often the ones who are doing the least.In order to get what you want, you need to earn it with YOUR actions, not someone else’s.Same goes for the person across the room who’s lifting 200 pounds to your 75. They’re not you. They didn’t start when you started. And when they started, I guarantee they weren’t lifting 200 pounds.So why should you expect to? :-)Don’t believe the hype.Don’t try to live up to it, either.Just do you and you’ll be fine.Coach AdamP.S. Whenever you're ready, here are 3 ways I can help you.1. Results beyond what you thought possibleDo you know what to do but have trouble following through with it?

Day on 1. Starting Your Fitness JourneyHello, I'm thrilled you're here and ready to embark on your fitness journey. What inspired you to take this step?When I start with a new client, we go through the following 6 points. This part takes place in the intro/consultation call.1) Identify your why & set realistic goals: We will discuss this tomorrow in more detail. This is the most important point. If you don't set this right, there is a big chance that you will fail.2) Choose activities you enjoy: Fitness doesn't have to be a chore. Pick something that brings you joy, especially at the beginning, if you’re not already active. As you progress, you can add more goal specific activities to your routine.3) Begin slowly but consistently: Consistency beats perfection. Regular effort with an okay plan is often more effective than sporadic effort with a perfect plan. Avoid burnout or injury by starting with lighter workouts and gradually increasing intensity.4) Track your progress: Don't overlook tracking your progress. A journal or app can help you see your improvements over time.5) Seek support: I think this is the second most important point (after setting realistic goals and identifying your 'why'.). An accountability partner (friend, coach, colleague, partner, kid) or a community of like-minded dads can greatly boost your motivation and support.6) Be patient: It will take time, and there may sometimes be regression. You need to be patient. Remember, the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Your fitness journey starts with these foundational steps, designed to guide you towards a healthier, happier life with your loved ones.What's your biggest challenge in starting your fitness journey? Let us know in the comments below!P.S. If this journey is not for you, perhaps you know a dad who would be interested. Please tag them so they can join us.#fitness #worklifebalance #healthandwellness #motivation
