The Approach
The "getting fit" part of fitness is the simplest. That doesn't mean it is easy, because it isn't, but my approach is simple. Focusing on 3 specific areas of fitness will provide the most benefit while using your time most efficiently. The 3 areas are:
- Strength Training. Stronger is better, for everyone. No matter your gender, age, history of exercise, or fitness goals, working at building strength is a requirement.
- Heart Training. Normally called "cardio", this type of exercise is simply elevating your heart rate to a certain level, for a certain amount of time, based on your current fitness level.
- Functional Fitness. The elements of functional fitness are flexibility, stability, and balance. While these are integral to overall fitness, they are exceptionally important for injury prevention as we age.
Why is this the simple part? Because life, that's why. To be successful at lifelong fitness you have to manage your life outside of the gym in a way that supports fitness. You need to:
- Manage your motivation and discipline in effective ways.
- Develop intentional nutrition habits.
- Form good sleep habits.
- Nurture supportive relationships and pay attention to your mental health.
I don't shy away from these adjacent topics in my approach with clients. In fact, I lean into these adjacent areas throughout our work to ensure adherence to your fitness plan ultimately achieve your fitness goals.
