Midweek recap


Its Wednesday already, week is flying by and need to keep track of progress so I can use experience to learn, and apply key improvements every day at the studio. 

Remember: 
  • always chasing the big goal, leadership, being significant in the strength and conditioning industry. 
  • Keeping options open for wider fitness industry, vision has a massive potential market within NZ
Key learnings from this week so far
(experience, what I failed at, plan of action)

Thinking ahead

Being forward thinking in this job is crucial. For example: setting up equipment for next exercises, planning conversation about clients lifestyle, along with important nutrition and exercise probes. Keeping goals realistic and achievable. Would you be able to do that in 9 weeks? If lose track one week overcompensate next week (2 accelerator days). 

Action plan: Be more confident, and professional in PT sessions. 
1st priority: Results (look up each clients background and 9 week goal beforehand
2nd priority: Good conversation with client. (This took first with mels session). 

Planning/Organisation

Sticking to daily schedule will be key the next coming weeks. Sticking to my wider weekly schedule will also help instill order and a system in my busy life. Allow 30 mins every day for reflection also. 

Anatomy and physiology

Some key gems from Dean:
Knee injuries: 
  • Sports with landing + twisting (rotational) movement are inevitably going to end in knee injury to the tendon or meniscus (basketball, Kobe Bryant). 
  • Strengthening beforehand with core and weight training, with single leg balance, will usually prevent lasting damage like this (Deni/league).
Closing: chill out/relax tonight without any social commitments. Big day tomorrow at studio and training. Make the most of the present, don't get caught up in past or future.

Thursday entry, Hapkido

Emotions: Confident (skills as a trainer), engaged (with new challenges, hapkido), comfortable (working with team in studio), satisfied (with daily challenges as a trainer, run club, motivated clients) Wednesday was a great day for me, came back to train some afternoon clients (Jaz) who had a great sessions with deadlifts. Tried Hapkido which have been meaning to do for ages, was good fun and learned heaps, great atmosphere to train in. Looking forward to next Wednesday (albeit late). Considering AGM tomorrow, or heading out to Piha Friday night. Need to bike into work tomorrow to make it work. AGM should be good fun, have a few drinks after with the club members which don't get to do too often, make most of it. Head out to piha early Saturday, looks like ideal plan. Work-ons: Knowing and keeping track of what kind of program being followed, beginner, superset, dropset,  how hard I need to push, and what kind of verbal cues I will provide throughout. Example: Jasmine need ...

Monday post, Bounce

Monday Emotions: Fully energised and engaged, satisfied (Connection with ultimate friends), refreshed Physical: Injury to knee going backwards, pain threshold after playing back up to 3-4/10, from 0-1/10. Sleep: Getting back into a good sleep routine over the weekend, and getting multiple nights in a row, Friday 8, Saturday 9.5, and Sunday 8.5 was the formula for an good recovery and bounce, improvement and growth, mentally responding to challenges from last week well. This response is something I feel I have not done as well over the week before. If I'm pushing myself in condition grey from Monday to Saturday, occaisionaly slipping into black in short periods, I need to get plenty of sleep in, at right timing.  Nutrition: Getting in more frequent lower GI meals this week has helped heaps, especially the oats, avoiding cravings and feeling hungry after workouts etc. More sources of protein, beans, eggs, chicken etc.  Physio? Pros and cons Physio seems...

Don't mind the mind

Tuesday 30th May: Emotions: Calm, relaxed, focused Been thinking about overthinking lately. The more I learn I realise its better to not try and control negative thoughts, a good technique is to just observe and be aware. A higher kind of awareness doesn't follow negative thoughts down dark passages, but just legs them crash harmlessly like waves against rock. Today I have been letting go of the sense of urgency lingering in my mind the last few days, that I need to try harder and push more toward finding more work opportunity, keep moving forward. Friday 3rd June: Right here, right now. This is all I will ever be, the best I can be. Recovery running. Awesome feeling, great friday night activity. Need to keep more variation in my training schedule to let body recover and adapt properly. If I'm too tired to do hill sprints, strength session, go for a recovery run! Making concious decisions to do whats best for me, even though I don't want to sometimes. Sitting on inte...
