Registration Now Open: Mindful Reflections & Awakened Intentions Workshops - https://mailchi.mp/d33d04c5aeaf/mindful-reflections-awakened-intentions-2023 Every year I look forward to facilitating this workshop. With mindful presence we will reflect on the closing year and we will lean in to listen to what wants our attention as we continue in the New Year. In the process, we will refresh ourselves on what really matters to us. This workshop will give you the dedicated space, time, and support to honor your life. I hope to see you. In-person and Zoom options.

Mindful Pause: Getting Quiet In A Loud Season - https://mailchi.mp/bcd29d8700c3/mindful-pause-week-of-11-27-23-getting-quiet Given that we are in the midst of what I would call a "loud season," not bad, just loud, I thought I would make this A Mindful Pause about quiet.

Aging is inevitable…becoming frail and incapable are not.

Aging gracefully requires a smart approach to strength training…it’s a must…in order to do what we want to do and love.

After 45 years of formal weight training, here’s what I know…
-At 45 years old, I noticed a definitive change in my training and how my body responded
✔️My response to strength training and building muscle has dropped
✔️My recovery from old injury “flair-ups” and joint stress just takes longer now
✔️I’m training heavy less frequently
✔️Lighter training sessions (15-20 reps), are more frequent and requires less recovery time
✔️Recovery from injury becomes more complicated and just takes longer now

BIG TAKEAWAY: Injury avoidance is MOST IMPORTANT as we age!

Train smart. Change the way you move. Feel good. You decide.

Mike TALK…SMART Coaching

After 35 years of coaching real folks…one of the greatest attributes of a successful client/coach relationship, is a coach who actually HOLDS OFF and DOESN’T PROGRESS a client…when they’re just not ready to do so.

Mind blowing? Nope. Just SMART.

Think about it in these terms…if you can’t lift 200lbs…would you attempt 250lbs…thinking that was a good idea? I would hope not.

Same applies here…”harder” for the sake of harder doesn’t make sense.

Have a listen. Sound ON🔉

Coach smart. Train smart. You decide.

One of my FAVORITE new “resets”…Asymmetrical Stance Single Arm RDL.

I’m getting A LOT of what I need with this move:
-Posterior lower pelvis
-Getting my hips “back”…aka…Hinge
-I’m limited in IR on both sides…especially my right
-I’m limited in my SLR on both sides
-I’m driving a “right turn” that I desperately need

And…I get to practice getting my hips to go back simultaneously as my chest moves downward towards the ground.

The “Jersey Squeeze “ is ON!!!

Thank you for all your guidance.

Train smart. Change the way you move. Feel better. You decide.

A Mindful Pause 1/9/23: Being Uncomfortable - https://mailchi.mp/b07669906a68/mindful-pause-week-of-1-9-23-being-uncomfortable As 2023 gets underway, you may already be finding that the aspirations, the intentions, the deep longings you made conscious to start the year are now facing the reality of being more difficult to act on. That seed you planted to be kinder to yourself, to have more joy, ease, connection, self-care, etc., may feel harder to water than you expected. It's in that spot in the garden where the hose just doesn't reach. That's ok. Click to read on.

My role as a professional coach, is NOT trying to determine what is or isn’t healthy for someone else. It’s an extremely futile approach to coaching. And btw…a BIG turn-off from the clients perspective.

It’s all judgement…based on what…a “functional” certificate of some kind?

What’s my role then? To help my clients reach THEIR GOALS!

You want longevity as a coach?…understand your role.

Train smart. Change the way you move. Feel good.
