What's holding you back??

---

As I talk to more and more people, and yes opportunities for fitness are everywhere, from our hikes up the mountains, to the miles we walk between hospital rooms, or the heavy items we lift at work, there is ABSOLUTELY NOFITSHAMING anywhere you are feeding your body and spirit with that hard work you are putting in, even if it's on the clock:-)  BUT, I still hear that the main reason people don't want to go to the gym and work out is that they just aren't comfortable there. Coming from someone who works at a desk up to 10 hours a day, I NEED to get my workouts in elsewhere to create a better work life balance.... and as someone who's always struggled to feel like they fit in anywhere in this world, I GET IT! Lots of posing and attitudes in there...but don't let it stop you from creating a rewarding experience. 

It is hard to go ALL in on something when you feel you're being scrutinized from the moment you step into the gym, or sit in the machine, or go up to the mirror and grab a dumbbell.... everyone is NOT watching. For the most part, they are fighting with the same doubts you have.... We don't need to turn the gym into a "soft place" and/or alienate entire segments of our society, but my goal is to help you focus more on how to expand and feed YOUR belief in yourself... Isn't it time?

Based on those conversations, I've developed a plan, that may start in person for my local people, but hopefully will inspire other people to provide the same approach in their training routines. So you are hearing it here first on the website, to establish NFS ownership of this specific program. 

Getting comfortable at the gym! Trying every machine, dumbbell, barbell, and cable variation, as well as massage chairs, cryo chamber, hydro massage, steam room, hot tub, swimming pool...whatever your gym has, so you not only put in your blood, sweat, and tears, but you can pamper yourself for doing so. 

Establishing a "Push/Pull" understanding of which muscle groups need to be worked to counteract some lifts we naturally gravitate to...this includes grip variations and differences between the types of lifts mentioned in Phase 1. Without balancing out your routine, you run a higher risk of injury, which is the BIGGEST threat to consistency.

Defining YOUR routine (Power, Core, Bodybuilding, Cario, etc..) which will include how best to approach it depending on your amount of activity and any lingering physical concerns in order to maximize the FREQUENCY and/or REST you'll need to ensure growth. 

Defining the MVE, the (Minimum Viable Exercises), to establish the MVP (Minimum Viable Product) where you will focus on Lifting not to LOSE! (to start)... every workout doesn't need knocked out of the park, but lift in a manner you don't lose what you gained from the last awesome workout you had but never so much it interrupts the CONSISTENCY of your next one... 

Establish which areas of your body need different types of nutrition and routines to meet any varying OR contrasting body goals. 

Ensuring you have the confidence and cautiousness to handle ANY change in goals and the ability to pivot due to any circumstance!!
