You Don’t Need To Love Working Out to Enjoy Going To The

3001Fitness • Dec 11, 2019

Believe it or not, most of our clients don’t really enjoy working out. They do it because they know it makes them feel better and allows them to continue to do the things they love.

 

Today I was reminded of this concept when at the end of our session a client comes up to me and says “You know what, I actually look forward to coming here now. I get excited the night before”

 

This star of a client’s name is Sal.

 

If you live in the Stamford/Greenwich area it is very likely that you know Sal. He is the owner of a successful electrical company, a proud dad, grandpa, and a big jokester (he’s kind of a big deal).

 

Sal first joined Core Principles back in September, his goals were to lose a little weight, reduce some of his aches and pains, improve his golf swing, and just feel better overall so he can continue to enjoy his time with his family.

 

Sal started here on our 30-Day VIP Kick start and openly admitted that if he did not feel or see results in the 30 days he was not going to continue. I completely understand where he was coming from and respect the fact that he needs to feel like he is getting something out of this to continue.

 

Fast forward a few months and Sal is still at it.

 

Sal has been showing up consistently every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 7 am ready to work.

 

If you saw Sal workout today you would never think that he just started a few months ago, when he first came in everything was tight, simply moving around was hard and a lot of work.

 

Just today Sal told me that he recently went to the driving range and hit a bucket of golf balls and he was hitting them better than he ever has, he was gaining about 10 yards on his iron shots.

 

Along with improving his golf game Sal worked hard on changing his nutrition, dropped a few pounds and his clothes are fitting better.

 

It is clear that Sal walks around with his head up high now.

 

Sal, we applaud you for not only your hard work over the past 4 months but also for how loud you can sing like Sinatra as your doing a squat!

 

If you feel the way Sal used too and are ready to make the commitment like him Core Principles is the only gym in Stamford for people 50 and better. If you would like more information or just to chat please send an email to info@coreprinciples-sc.com or give us a call @ 203-914-6396.

Several weeks ago I asked you to send questions you have about nutrition, eating skills or body image and I got a bunch of great questions! Thank you!!! In this week’s video, we are covering a question that comes up a lot: What can I eat for lunch that:requires little to no prep, will keep me satisfied, and is not highly processed? Do you struggle with that midday break to eat lunch like me?? Many of my clients have come to me really at a loss for lunch specifically, because they haven’t made a plan, and they either grab handfuls of random things together, go through a drive thru, or skip it all together! Does that sound like you? Well, check out this week’s video to see my recommendations for how to make sure those lunches don’t thwart your progress to reaching your health goals. As always, we will start where you are!

Eating at home more than going out to eat is one way to make progress on your health and nutrition because it puts you in full control. The trade off… eating at home requires having food on hand to prepare those meals, which requires time each week for planning and the time it takes to go to the grocery store. It’s work. Well, your resident nutrition coach (ME!), is here to teach you one simple thing you can start doing THIS WEEK to simplify your meal planning, save time, and save money. Watch this week’s video for a step-by-step on how to set up an Instacart account and grocery lists, plan your meals in advance, and order groceries from the comfort of your own home.

Are you a “perfectionist"? When you strive for perfection, you have good intentions. You want to take care of your health, feel your best, and live a long and happy life with loved ones. One way that perfectionism can show up in our health is through a fancy term known as cognitive distortion also known as all-or-nothing thinking. Striving for excellence can be a really wonderful thing! It means it is important to you to look after yourself! However, all or nothing thinking can also lead to disappointment, burnout, and self-criticism when we inevitably miss a day, or go “off plan”. When our focus is on getting a “perfect” outcome, we lose satisfaction and enjoyment along the way and lose sight of other measures of progress. Want to know one of the greatest predictors of long term success with any behavior change? FLEXIBILITY. Flexibility allows you to come as you are on your best day AND on your worst day. It fosters self-compassion, and helps you to keep moving forward. Check out this video below to find out more!
