Someone close to me recently said with all that you’ve gone through and all of the struggles over the last two years you’re always so positive.
Of course, I took that as a compliment but I also want to talk through that with you here. I am positive because I choose to be positive. And I do work every single day, to stay positive and to see the good. A couple of years ago, I started our victory journal process (when I needed it the most.) It only takes me seven minutes to complete, and it starts with finding three things that I’m grateful for. I really believe that this exercise has helped me continue to see the good and continue to stay positive through all of the hardships that we all endure in our daily lives. I hope this is helpful and I hope this inspires you to work on a gratitude practice.

“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together,” according to an African proverb. That’s true for all kinds of goals – including health & fitness! If you’re starting your health & fitness journey, you don’t have to go it alone. In fact, research shows you’ll benefit from building a support team around you. - Friends for support when the going gets tough. - A significant other to be supportive - Colleagues for lunchtime walks or pep talks. - A trainer or group of workout friends. - An organized support group of others with similar struggles – one you find or create on your own. - You can even hire a coach to help with some or all of what you’re trying to manage. The reasons make sense. In addition, to support, your team can provide accountability, fun, confidence, and even a fun bit of competition, if that's your thing.
Remember that communication is key, and depends on the type of relationship you have with the members of your group. Is it someone you see regularly anyway? A professional? Casual acquaintances? All of those can play a role, but it’s on you to be clear about your needs and expectations. Even with a team and a coach, you’re still the quarterback of your own health. Only you can do the work!

Mastering your MINDSET is the ONE THING that will move the needle faster for you than anything else when it comes to reaching your goals.
Being MINDFUL is basically the same thing as being PRESENT for your own life. And when you are fully present, it’s easier to: 1) Set goals that really matter to you and 2) Make daily micro-choices that help move closer to your goals
Studies show that there is a very clear link between mindfulness, achieving goals, and happiness …
So it’s actually a science-proven SKILL that you can build and get stronger at over time.

I don’t know about you, but my to-do list is always a little longer this time of year.
If you feel the same, I have a tip that can help you feel less stressed and more energized this season. Actually, it’s more like a challenge.

1- Start your day with breakfast 2- Nourish yourself consistently throughout the day 3- Eat whole foods only 4- HYDRATE 5- Get active - train 3x per week. Super basic but super effective at helping you stay on track and feel really great…. Because feeling healthy and energized is the basis for everything.

Recently someone asked me how I am able to consistently show up and put myself out there - how do I feel confident all the time...
They were saying that they don't feel comfortable on camera and when they see images of themself, it is incongruent with how they feel about themself. In other words, they struggle with body dysmorphia. And... I think to an extent, we all do and I'm not always confident. I've had 2 big babies, survived a pandemic (just like everyone else), and have extra bits and pieces that I would prefer not to show to the world. But... my mission is bigger than my insecurities.
I know that there are people out there that need to see 'normal' bodies like mine, and bodies like yours, and bodies like all of us.
So - why do I keep putting myself out there? So that maybe one of you might feel a bit more comfortable to step into the gym someday. So that maybe one of you might feel less self-conscious when you pull on your leggings and they feel a bit tighter And, so that my children can see someone continuously show up with all the imperfections. That's why... I hope this resonated with one of you. If it did... please let me know in the comments so that I can keep showing up for you. ❤️ Lots of love, Paige WANT MORE OF THIS?

5 years ago, Chip made the decision to go all-in with his health and fitness. Chip is consistent and dedicated to getting better and learning every training session. He did this to put off 'aging' as much as he could so that he could continue to enjoy doing the things he loves to do. This is his story, in his words.

You’ll never believe what I’m about to confess… I used to be scared to death of the gym.
True. Story. But here I am... And you know what I’ve learned? Personal trainers and our gym community is the most welcoming and kind environment that you could imagine
I hear the same story from so many people and then after a few weeks of training with us, they call WILCOX their happy place!
So tell me, is there a fear that you have when it comes to getting started in a training program that I can help diminish as someone who also used to be scared to get started? Let me know, I’d be happy to help! PS - This video is from our StickMobility session. I LOVE using the mobility sticks in my training sessions. These little movements don't look like much, but they build a ton of strength and mobility throughout the body. Happy training! Paige WANT MORE OF THIS? Be sure to connect with us on Social Media.

How are you feeling? Really. I want to know. Please tell me. How are you doing out there? This year (these years) have been TOUGH. A lot of people are feeling stuck.
Maybe you are FINALLY feeling ready to commit to healthy living again. If you are on the edge - this message is for you... New research is showing that being physically active and nourishing yourself well are some of THE BEST THINGs that you can do to take care of yourself during this time. That's right! Two new studies have come out about exercise and your risk for developing COVID. STUDY 1: In South Korea, researchers found that working out REDUCES your risk of getting COVID-19. The South Korean researchers said regular exercise helps:
The study also noted that the World Health Organization recommends people be as active as possible … AND encourages everyone to engage in regular aerobic physical activity, as well as bone and muscle-strengthening activity.
STUDY 2:
In California, researchers found that exercise cuts your risk of dying from COVID-19 by 2.5x. Here’s what they discovered: People who were INACTIVE (not exercising at all):
compared to those who met US activity guidelines.
So the research is in... It’s time to GET ACTIVE – and encourage your family and friends to join you! AND - you can train with us for FREE in our group training program for 2 weeks.

Movement is POWER.
You create POWER by moving your body in an intentional way that feels really good. This isn’t just about exercise. Your body CRAVES movement and will usually feel a LOT better (fewer aches and pains, better mood, etc.) when you move your body regularly. Having a stronger, limber body improves the quality of your life in general. You are able to continue to do and ENJOY doing the things you love to do when you are healthy and fit.
We would love to help you create your POWER.
FYI: this video is from our Trainer Workshop where they are working to create their POWER in order to transfer it to you. Happy training! Wilcox Wellness & Fitness WANT MORE OF THIS?
