These are the common threads I see in my most successful clients — the ones who don’t just get results, but keep them for life.

  1. Clarity around their goals – What are you aiming for and why? And I mean really dig into the why. “I want to lose weight” is surface level. Why do you want to lose weight? How will it change your life? What will it do for you? This gives you a reason to show up even on the days you don't want to.

  2. A growth mindset – If you don’t want it bad enough, you’re not going to improve. You have to be willing to get better, be open to new ideas and methods, and trust your coach to guide you. Stubbornness WILL kill your progress.

  3. A clear understanding that food is fuel – Fueling properly is key to good workouts, better recovery, and even burning more calories. Your metabolism responds to input: the more you take in, the more energy you'll have, and the more you will burn. Under eating slows everything down. You have to be sure to fuel your body for the activity level you're at.

  4. A structured, purposeful training plan that fits their life and goals – If it’s not sustainable long term, it’s the wrong program. Your training should challenge you and fit into your life, not feel like punishment...or a temporary fix.

  5. Daily movement – Walk. Be intentional about moving your body every day. You can’t have a sedentary lifestyle and expect long term good health or consistent results from your training efforts.

  6. Love and support from their people – Friends, family, coworkers…the people around you matter. If they understand, respect your goals, and truly support you, it makes the entire process a hell of a lot easier.

  7. Data and metric tracking – What gets paid attention to and measured usually gets improved. And it gets improved much faster than if you don't keep tabs on it. Want to lose weight? Weigh yourself a couple times per week and write down the results. Want to save money? Check your bank account every day. Want to squat more weight? Test regularly and write it down somewhere. Want to lower your phone screen time? Track it or you'll never know. Catch my drift? 

  8. A rock solid sleep routine – Consistent bedtime, dark and cool temperature room, and 7+ hours of sleep the majority of nights (or days if you're a night shift person). You can do everything else right, but if your sleep sucks, your results probably will, too.

If you want forever results, start here. Start stacking them and practicing them until they’re just part of who you are.
