Our brain is chemically wired to adapt to changes. Simply making your bed every day sets off happy chemicals in your brain that makes you feel good and leads to wanting to do more and leads to positive change that everyone will notice.

Summer Training Tips

Here are some summer training tips that you can use to start following through on your goals to health and performance improvement:

1. Daily habits – Start small like making your bed, getting up at a consistent time every
day, or drinking a glass of water every morning.
2. Accountability – This is key for reinforcement and keeping you on track. A personal
coach is great for that.
3. Try something new once a week – get outside your comfort zone by trying a new
style of fitness.
4. Learn! – Start by reading some articles that interest you then read a new book or get
a new audio book that helps you learn more about your body and health.

One thing that we promote at TriCore is gaining a heightened state of awareness on your health and body stats. This can help you overcome many mental barriers like the negative emotions many people have about scales and making progress on your health and wellness goals. We use devices like the Withings Body Cardio Scale to help our clients understand that progress happens every single day! And knowing the difference between lean body mass gain VS fat gain is huge to overcoming negative emotions that come from seeing the scale change.

Education
Consistency
Accountability

These are the things needed to help overcome your challenges. Hiring a coach can help you have more mental toughness to stay on track, and that is something some people can’t live without!

1. Lifting too much weight too soon.

I see this mistake a lot, especially with people who are new to working out and their mindset is “the heavier I lift, the stronger I get.” Yes, this is true, but hold on. It is essential to build from the ground up especially when it comes to your body. Strengthening your body using periodization is the way to go when it comes to just getting in the gym. It does not matter what your goal is, building a strong foundation is a key factor for successful results!

2. Doing nothing between exercises.

I will admit this: I used to do nothing between my exercises and I paid the price for it. I constantly remind my clients to do some type of recovery or activation movement between exercises. Not only does this help keep the blood flowing, but it’s also a way to attack the pain points you may have while lifting. For example, if your shoulder is hurting while doing a chest press, stretch your pec between exercises and release some of the tightness causing the pain. Constantly doing active recovery between your exercises will help you in the long run in preventing injuries and ailments.

3. Skipping your warm-ups

Listen, I don’t need to tell you that you need to warm-up before exercising. Since elementary school, it has been ingrained in our heads that doing a proper warm-up before activity can help prevent injury to the muscles. So, why do so many people skip warm-ups? The simple answer is we may not see an immediate value in a proper warm-up before working out. But trust me! It is valuable and it creates a healthy habit for our body, and prepares us for intense activity. A simple warm up I preach to all of my clients goes as follows:

-Leg swings side to side x 12
-Leg swings front to back x12
-Bodyweight squat x12
-Plank variation x20-30s
-Rowing or pushing movement x12
Repeat x 3 rounds

This warm-up only takes about 5 minutes, so there is no excuse as to why you aren’t doing it!

The New You program works, simply because there is little room for guessing and error. You have direct access to me, as your coach, to get your questions answered and help you stay motivated. Being able to keep track of your body stats, workouts, nutrition and recovery, and having that data able to transfer over to me for review, gives me the tools I need to coach you to success! It provides a layer of accountability for you, but also for me to ensure that your plan is working!

In this program, you receive multiple checkpoint meetings, a Metabolic Coaching session, and online services to help you optimize your Fitness, Nutrition, and Recovery. Our wifi Smart Scale tracks your body stats for the ultimate layer of accountability! Weight, muscle mass, fat mass, hydration, BMI and more are measured. During the program you also get our premiere Private Wellness service. This concierge service gives you daily texting with me 7 days per week as well as a structured fitness and nutrition plan in your TriCore App!

There are three phases to the New You Program.

• In the first 30 days, you will establish a balanced metabolism!
• In the Second 30 days, you will rev up your fat burning potential!
• In the last 30 days, you will tone up and look shredded!

Your body takes about 30 days to see habit changes and body transformations, Therefore, 3 blocks of 30 days gives us the right amount of time to make a New You! So, If you are struggling to find a plan that actually works for your needs, The New You Program is your answer!
