Slow Down and Learn Your Body

5/28/2020

0 Comments

 
The key to progress is doing the little things very well. If you want to train better, you have no choice. The time you spend on the fundamentals, laying your foundation, dictates how you feel before you train, while you train, and after your train.

Here you will see our team starting off our weekly training doing the basics. We practice the basics before every session to remind ourselves what is most important. When we dive into the complicated movements while trying to maintain the connection, our focus on foundation wins every time. Every time.

This week’s Trainers Training Trainers (TTT) had us trying some new movements. Footwork, Core Engagement, and Posture are our foundation. With each practice round, you can feel things come together, movements become smooth, and confidence rises.

Our team has been hammering the foundations for months to even attempt some of these movements & it’s leading to massive gains in how our bodies are feeling.

Don’t be afraid to slow yourself down, learn your body, and be grateful you are able to exercise. It is a gift!

Staying on Track

5/27/2020

0 Comments

 
You never know how much you appreciate your everyday life until everything changes! Hello, COVID-19...

Simple things... like a high five from your trainer, a training session in the gym, running to the grocery store for milk, or having 3 minutes of peace to yourself. (I'm talking to all the moms out there...)

I don’t know about you, but I’ve found myself feeling all the feels as a result of all the things...

When we got home from Costa Rica, I made a commitment to myself to double down as much as possible on my healthy habits, which always helps me feel more balanced and in control of my life.

It’s made such a big difference because it has given me a SOLID FOUNDATION to operate from!

When you have a firm foundation, it helps you to be PROACTIVE vs. REACTIVE.

On a practical level, that means that every day, I make sure that I follow the habits for massive impact - nourish myself well, drink my water, and train at least 3 times per week. I am also trying to squeeze in a little extra time for myself - sometimes that means 5am coffee with my husband before the kids get up, or sneaking away to read.

It’s had huge payoffs - when I am on point with these healthy habits, I feel more in control, I have more energy, I am a better mom and wife, and life seems more manageable.

What actions have you committed to over the past few months, that have helped you find balance?

Share below – they are sure to help someone else!

Movement is Medicine

5/26/2020

Movement is medicine.  Making connections within your human structure sets you up for success and a life without injury, pain, and discomfort.  I am on that path and this is the path our clients are taking now and into the future.  And it's making a significant impact!

Although the movements in this video are unconventional, my body has never felt more connected to the way humans are supposed to move.  We were built to walk, to run, and to throw, this is our evolution.  Unfortunately, the last century of innovation has taken us far from our natural human capabilities and replaced it with a more sedentary lifestyle.  

Our bodies now have important, functional muscles that are underutilized in combination with important, functional muscles that are overutilized in unintended ways.  This is why we have pain, why we have discomfort, why a lot of the time movement doesn't feel good.  

These movements are inspired by Functional Patterns, a system created to respect human evolution, re-connecting our bodies to live free from pain!  This is the direction that we are taking our training program and I excited to give you a peek at my practice session. Check it out!  It's pretty fun. 

Happy Training!

Mike

They say if you cook with your kids they will be more likely to eat the healthy foods you slave over for them.  

Here is a look at cooking our upgraded tuna skillet from our new Survive & Thrive at Home guide.

SPOILER ALERT: they did not like it... but I thought it was delish.

The Food Label: Your Step-By-Step Guide for Analyzing Nutrition Labels

5/12/2020

1 Comment

 
​Ready to become a food label ninja?

You’re in the right place!

At Wilcox Wellness & Fitness, we always recommend foods in their most natural state - from the farm, not the factory. Bonus... if you are eating apples and chicken and sweet potatoes, you don't need this guide because those foods don't need labels.  

But.. this is real life and this is a real life guide to understand what is in the foods you are consuming when you buy from a package. There’s SO MUCH information on our food labels these days. It's almost like the label has it's own language!

It can be a real challenge to understand everything you're looking at. What does that info really mean to you, your diet, and your health?

This ebook will break it all down in a logical, step-by-step guide.

First, we’ll show you how to dissect the food label, and then we’ll outline a 10-second strategy that will streamline your food shopping trips.

You'll learn how to:

 - Make more informed  decisions at the grocery  store, and
 - Take back control over the quality of foods you choose.

Doing the research to upgrade your food choices doesn’t have to be a chore.
Picture
BACKGROUND: The History of Food Labels

The food label has changed a lot since its inception in the mid-1960s. At first, manufacturers were only required to list the ingredients on the label. Over time, that has evolved to the modern food label, which now includes a comprehensive breakdown of macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates, and fat), vitamins, minerals, and more.

In fact, nutrition labels are constantly evolving in countries across the world. The changes reflect not only new discoveries in the link between nutrition and health, but also public health efforts to help people make healthier and more informed decisions.  

Here is a page from our Food Label Guide that outlines how to analyze a nutrition label in 10 seconds:

Enjoy!

I believe that this time is an AMAZING opportunity to lean into your health and wellness … and come out of this quarantine feeling better than ever!

5/9/2020

To say the coronavirus pandemic has changed our day-to-day lives is definitely an understatement!

You’re feeling trapped at home … bored … overwhelmed … and not sure what’s next.

You know what will happen to MOST people, right? 

Healthy habits may begin to slip … old patterns will start to emerge … or maybe they even create some NEW (not so good) habits (hello, Netflix & chill!).

It won’t be long before they start to notice the consequences … and end up feeling sluggish, bloated, and blah!

It does NOT have to be that way. 

In fact, I believe that this time is an AMAZING opportunity to lean into your health and wellness … and come out of this quarantine feeling better than ever!

That’s why we are so excited to announce the LAUNCH of our LIVEStream Training TRIAL Program.  You can now try our LIVEStream Group Personal Training Program for 2-weeks of UNLIMITED group personal training for just $50.  ​


Our LIVEStream Training Sessions are group personal training sessions that are coached in REAL-TIME by certified personal trainers invested in your success.  They are a combination of strength and conditioning with a focus on improving body mechanics and mobility. In these sessions, you will receive just the right amount of coaching to give you the confidence to give it your best effort.

Included in the LIVEStream TRIAL Program is: 

PERSONAL TRAINING: 2-week UNLIMITED access to our LIVEStream Group Personal Training Program - we have 40-60 sessions to choose from on a weekly basis run by certified personal trainers who are there to coach you to be your very best. 

SUCCESS SESSION: a one-on-one conversation with a member of our team to set you up for success in the program.

NUTRITION SUPPORT: Habits for Massive Impact - learn the 5 habits that will create the most impact in your life. (spoiler alert: 4 of them are nutrition related)

GOAL SETTING: A 30-minute goals workshop where you will discover the secret to achieving anything you ever wanted.

MUCH MORE: Over delivery is one of our core values - we love to under promise and over deliver to delight our customers.

This is a TRIAL Program but it is much more than that - it is designed to set you up for success. 

This is the same kind of results-driven programming we offer in our facility – but instead of coming in for the workout - you’ll be able to join us LIVE right from your own living room!

We’re opening up a few spots for people to participate, so if you want one - get yourself registered here: 

https://wilcoxwellnessfitness.lpages.co/livestream-trial-program/

Let’s not let a temporary situation get in the way of our long-term results!

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions at all.

Lots of love,

Wilcox Wellness & Fitness

​"What do you do when you don't feel like working out?"

5/7/2020

0 Comments

 
​"What do you do when you don't feel like working out?" - this was a question asked at a recent conference (RISE - online) that I attended.  Rachel Hollis' answer was perfect: "I work out."  

So simple and so profound.

We are not always going to feel like doing the thing that we know is going to get us to where we want to go but the more times that we can show up and be consistent and keep the promise to ourselves, the more momentum we are going to build in all other areas of our life.  

It is so easy to make so many excuses - my house is a disaster, my floors are dirty, the kids are going to climb all over me... Trust me... I have been there.  But these excuses are all so small and they only hold us back from living the life that we dream of.  

So friends... just show up.  Show up when you are feeling it and show up when you are not feeling it.  Just show up.  Do your best.  Then do it a again.  It gets easier.

Lots of love,

Wilcox Wellness & Fitness
