  Unravel the Limiting Beliefs Holding You Back

  Beliefs are just thoughts repeated, right? We’ve all heard that before or read it on a coffee mug or Pinterest board. And it’s true. If you think you’re a smart, hard-working, good person – and then repeat that thought over and over -- then you’re going to face the world with a positive attitude about yourself. Unfortunately, it works the other way around, as so many of us know. Have you ever thought any of these about yourself? And then repeated them, like, a million times until the thoughts become your beliefs? I’ll always be overweight. I’ll never make it. Nothing ever goes my way.

  6 Types of Stress

  Our personal fitness trainers want to know, do you remember Whac-A-Mole? You know, the arcade game where a mole keeps popping up in unpredictable spots and it’s your job to smack it on the head? Well, that’s kind of like how stress works. Except you are the mole … and when stress gets out of control, every time you make a move, it keeps bopping YOU on the head. Not only do you feel out of control, but it can also make you feel too tired or distracted to get in a solid workout. Even worse, it can derail your workouts entirely (which sucks, because working out is a great stress reliever). This is why it’s SO IMPORTANT to ....

  Perfection Is Overrated

  Why are we so obsessed with perfection? The fitness industry constantly hits us with images of perfectly sculpted bodies who perfectly perform their perfect workouts without fail. And society in general demands us (especially women) to be ideal in every way –pretty, skinny, loving Moms, successful in their careers, etc… etc… Enough!
