I came into the fitness industry as a Coach who worked exclusively with kids ages 7-12. This age group isn’t immune to many of the same requests as their adult counterparts...the number one request was ‘can you talk to my kid about nutritional choices’.

Yes, this request was made for 7-12 year olds.

Day in and day out my sessions were filled with more fun than science and more loose strategies than black and white direction.As my time in fitness has grown, surprisingly, not much has changed- specifically on the ‘loose strategies’ section.

5 Things I do, and do not care about in my fitness any more

“If you could do one movement for the rest of your life, what would it be?”

Rather than answer that question in black and white format, I always find myself thinking about how I would answer that question 5 years ago versus now. That thought process always takes me down the rabbit hole of what I care about in my training day, versus a previous time.

So that’s what today’s newsletter is about...5 things I don’t care about (as much) any more and 5 things I care about (a lot more) today than in years past.

The Most Important Goal

As you can tell by the sporadic send times of this newsletter, my routine has been in flux. This feeling is something 100% of the people reading this can relate with.

When your routine changes, when the day to day or week to week sequencing of events starts to be altered, we often try to hold on to the normalcy of events.

I think you get my point here.
