Some thoughts about this week...

  1. Are your workouts loaded? If so give them a look over. Any movement give you pause (other than just wishing it was calf raises instead)? Encyclopedia YouTube is full of movements and info. Shoot your coach a message so you're ready to rock when you're ready to start!
  2. ASK QUESTIONS - if something looks off about a workout, or you don't get it at first pass, you're probably not alone. Coaches hard to make sure they're thorough in explaining everything well, but we all can make the mistake of assuming you're a mind reader at some point. So please ask, it helps your programmer continually improve! It is a two-way relationship.
  3. Set a clock for 10 mins this week and focus on what your end game looks like regarding your health. Health is the only true wealth. Once you know that, you can start digging deeper, to road map your way there. Even better - tag me in to help structure your map!
  4. What's on your Plate??? What does the fridge and cabinets look like? Do you have veggies for every meal? Do you even know what you could be eating this week? Now is the best time to get your shit together and prepare for success this week. Even a little plan is better than no plan. Suggestion - pick a Pinterest clean meal, buy the goods and give it a run! Need some simplicity? Google "5 ingredient clean eating recipes.
  5. Need more guidance? I do that too. Schedule some time - 30 or 60 mins in person or virtually with me and let's get to work! 
Remember, the idea is building better habits in training and nutrition, one at a time, until your end result is a healthier, fitter body and mind. I'm here to help you achieve that end. Holla at your girl!

Weight Management is More than Nutrition

Weight Management is More than Nutrition How Stress, Exercise and Sleep Affect Weight Tara Johnson - CFL2 Managing your weight and overall wellbeing is a trifecta of Nutrition, Training and Recovery. How we approach stress,  Stress can be a major contributor to weight gain. Stress can trigger cortisol release, and that little bugger of a hormone, meant to give you energy to survive back in the caveman days, causes the modern, not a caveman human to simply store fat around the middle. Stress can also make you crave comfort foods,  the quick carbs  that release dopamine while giving you energy to respond to a fight or flight reaction your body may be having in response to stress.  Sure, your brain may know that your stress reaction isn’t because you’re being chased by a lion, but your body doesn’t. When I feel like I’m not in control of things happening around me (hello global pandemic) I could control what I was putting in my mouth, and a giant bowl of Fruity Pebble...

How to Turn Burnout into Turnout!

  Workout Burnout Is Real... How to Turn Burnout into Turnout! By Tara Johnson, CF-L2 and Personal Coach Training sucks. Like really sucks. If you’re one of those people that hop out of bed, super stoked to workout – stop reading. You are the outlier, count your lucky stars and run some laps or pump out some reps. If you’re like me, ideal life consists of sugary cereal, pizza, diet coke, couch surfing and craft beer joint hopping with my buddies. It’s a crime that you can’t do these things and still be able to wipe your own can, or reach it for that matter in no time flat. So, you eat clean and train dirty, and for some of us, it’s as routine as brushing your teeth (if it’s not, give me a call – helping you get there is kinda my thing). Occasional workout suckfests (a boring monotonous workout here, a frustrating lift session there) is one thing. Total workout burnout—the kind that triggers chronic exhaustion, lapses in workout scheduling, and technique inefficacy- aka “phoni...

  Checkup from the Neck Up Locus of Control By Tara Johnson, CF-L2 Your mind is your most valuable tool! It can springboard you toward success or it can throw you into the pits of despair and really undermine your efforts. Good thing you are in control of your mindset eh!? Locus of control  is a psychological concept that refers to how strongly people believe they have  control  over the situations and experiences that affect their lives. You can’t control the weather, but you can prepare for it! Every facet of life falls under the same concept. You can’t control a lot of external factors, but you absolutely are in control of your preparation for them. You are absolutely in control of your reaction to them. This is the most critical concept to develop when preparing to adjust your lifestyle, whether the change is focused on your training, nutrition or both.  Just like your muscles, your locus of control can be trained. Training your mind to focus on the things y...
