| Hallelujah, school is finally out for the summer! You know what that means? Schedules for parents everywhere go absolutely bonkers… softball games, baseball games, grad parties, camping trips, MKE festival season, summer vacations, the list goes on and on. There will be a million and one excuses to skip out on your weekly training sessions, but I’m here to rescue you from yourself. One of the best ways to relieve your stress is through physical activity. Exercise can reduce cortisol levels, increase dopamine, and provide a rewarding feeling of accomplishment. Not to mention your muscles will look amazing in our new apparel while you’re strutting around town. So how can you prioritize your training sessions over all the other chaos of your schedule? Move to an earlier time in the day. It might be hard to do at first, but if you try and knock out your session first thing in the morning, it can set you up to accomplish all your other tasks and attend any other events you have during the day/evening. Get a “punch the clock” workout in at home. We have 50+ workouts and ideas uploaded to our YouTube page, and I will even provide a sample workout below. It doesn’t have to be a lot, but something is better than nothing! Show up. Do something. Involve your family/friends in your exercise plan. Including your spouse/kids/friends in your life decisions can create more accountability and a support group to help achieve your goals. Find a way to get them involved so you won’t have to “feel guilty” about missing family time. In summary, don’t let your busy summer plans distract you from getting your training sessions in. There are ways to stay On Point and focused without losing out on your goals, and we are here to help you! “If it’s important, do it every day. If not, don’t do it at all.” Yours in strength, Nick P.S. Don’t forget to get your apparel orders in by June 17th. We do have a sample tank for women to try on by the front desk. |
