How to see Results
Finding your sweat and shavasana every day is not enough. There are several other factors that go into being a well rounded, healthy athlete. Below are several areas to review and incorporate into your daily regime to build a better path toward total well being and start seeing results. Accomplish 80% of the below weekly and you are going places!
Nutrition
- Eat WHOLE foods. Less processed food. More fruits and veggies.
- Eat often. Fuel your body throughout the day with healthy fats, proteins and carbs (yep, carbs).
- Drink ⅔ of your bodyweight in ounces of water every day! Stay hydrated.
Sleep & Recover
- Get a minimum of 8 hours sleep every night.
- Go to bed early, wake up early. Do what the sun does.
- Sleep in a dark, quiet room (without your cell phone).
- Don’t be afraid to take a cat nap before or after a workout.
Stress Management

Mental Training

- Practice Meditations with visualization techniques.
- Incorporate more positive self talk.
- Listen to motivating, positive music.
- Find a present tense mantra: “I can touch 10 foot.” “I am an elite athlete.” “I am love.” “I can do great things.” “I have no fear.”
Community
- Surround yourself with positive, goal oriented people.
- Build quality relationships.
- Make sticky notes, write in a journal, set reminders. Do what you can to incorporate these practices into your daily life to heighten your overall success and build the WHOLE athlete. Ready, GO!
