Personalized, Supportive and Positive Coaching
Everything is a Skill
I believe everything is a skill. Instead of blaming ourselves for not having the “will” to lose weight or work out, we see it as an issue of not having learned the necessary skills to be successful. With your coach, you’ll learn the skills you need to develop to get fit and live an active and healthy life.
From a neurological perspective everything is trainable and changeable. The question is, how do you want it to change?
Dialed in Fitness Coaching will help you change your interpretation of the signals your brain receives from your body, translating into lasting behavioral changes.
By changing your cognitive processes around lifestyle management and learning to look at things differently, you can make change manageable and permanent.
It Takes Energy to Change… Literally
When we first start something new, our brains process the change in our cortex. The cortex requires high glucose (energy) utilization. Literally this means that it takes a lot of energy when we are trying to develop a new skill. That’s why the process of changing is often uncomfortable: we’re designed that way. Our nervous system is designed to protect us and the status quo. Anything new is perceived as a potential threat that has to be evaluated, requiring energy in the form of glucose. Everything we do that requires glucose (energy) is stressful to our bodies. But when something becomes a skill or a habit, our mental processing moves to the back of the brain, therefore requiring less glucose and less energy.
How often do we make a New Year’s resolution and find that by February we hit a wall? Change is hard; but instead of believing you lack the will to accomplish your goal, we argue that you lack the skill: a teachable and trainable skill.
Murphy Proof Your Life
“Luck favors the prepared.”
- Edna Mode
We help you, your brain and body, be prepared to adapt and accept new ’threats’ like exercising, moving in a full range of motion and eating right. The act of changing any habitual pattern is a threat because of the high energy cost.
Sometimes, habitual patterns can be poor movement, poor eating habits or lack of physical activity. We work with you to minimize the threat your body perceives when you start to change existing patterns, helping you to “Murphy Proof” your life. Murphy proofing your life is simply setting you up for success with new habits and new patterns that lead you to your goal. Our mantra is “learn to love the process to get to the goal you love.”
By rewiring with new habits, good movement, good nutrition, etc. the process of change is more manageable and enjoyable. By changing the interpretation of your body’s signals, you can change your life and achieve the goals you have always sought.
