What is “Health & Fitness Coaching”?

My business cards say, “Health & Fitness Coaching.” But, what exactly does that mean? What do I really do? The services I provide are Individual Design Coaching programs, One-on-One Training, and At-Home Training. That just tells you what’s on the menu, though, it doesn’t really tell you what I DO. In order to understand that,Continue reading “What is “Health & Fitness Coaching”?”

Do I Need to Learn to Use Myofascial Release Tools?

If you’re doing it right, you won’t have to learn how to use this. Here’s a common question that I get: “Should I buy a foam roller?” And the answer, of course, is, “It depends.” For most of my clients, I would say no, they don’t need to buy a foam roller. If they’re sleepingContinue reading “Do I Need to Learn to Use Myofascial Release Tools?”

Time in the Trenches

Sometimes I meet people who have just gotten into CrossFit and they’re super gung-ho about it. (Or maybe they found CrossFit 5 years ago).

Lifestyle

The most common conversation I’ve had this year (with clients & friends & family) is about the importance of BLGs and a healthy lifestyle. This is always important. This is huge. This is the last thing you want to lose when things get crazy. I’ve also written a lot of blogs about it. Little Doodle,Continue reading “Lifestyle”

Personalized Nutrition: Hydration

Wait… hydration again?  I’ve been talking about personalized nutrition, and I already addressed hydration a couple of days ago in a bullet point under “Basic Lifestyle Guidelines.”  Well, hydration is important enough to talk about more than once.  I talk to clients about hydration first when we’re working on the ‘foundation’ that is their healthyContinue reading “Personalized Nutrition: Hydration”

Personalized Nutrition: BLGs

This is the second blog in a series I’m writing about personalized nutrition.  The whole idea behind personalized nutrition is that you eat what is right for you, NOT what is right for someone else (or what sells the most of a particular product, pays lobbyists’ salaries, or is trending on Twitter right now). PersonalizedContinue reading “Personalized Nutrition: BLGs”

Be Your Authentic Self

Here’s the problem: Many people are living meaningless and dishonest lives.  They don’t know who they are and what they’re about, so they don’t care about themselves and don’t treat themselves with care.  They know that there are problems in their life, but they hide from them and lie about them, so they are notContinue reading “Be Your Authentic Self”
