Get out of your comfort zone and discover what you are capable of, chase your goals and dreams and grow every day!
I love that early part of the New Year where the old year is behind me and a brand New Year stretches out ahead with all its tantalising opportunities and possibilities and I ask myself what do I want to achieve this year.
Apart from all the usual to do’s of work, family, friends, health and personal growth is always on the top of my list. A focus on these two areas in particular helps me maximise what I get out of each year.
Any sort of growth requires us to get out of comfort zone and take action. A great way to do that is to get a coach, to set some goals together, break them down into daily/weekly tasks and be held accountable for getting the work done. Without accountability we end up only doing the work when we feel like it, results stall and we quit on ourselves.
High Performance Coach Brendon Burchard believes that our health and fitness routines should be our top priority when it comes to getting the best out of ourselves. He would say that if you want to level up in life, spend a year just working on establishing good daily nourishment and exercise routines.
We have put together a list of our top 7 success tips below for you:
Legacy’s 7 step success formula to create the health and body that you want and keep it!
1) Get Clear and Committed to your Goals and Vision
2) Resistance Training first and then add the fun stuff
3) Nutrient Timing – balanced delicious nutritious plates
4) Align your values and actions to your Higher Self
5) Plan and Prepare – Consistency is where the power lies
6) Education, support and accountability
7) Powerful Affirmations to overcome your excuses
1) Clear and Committed
It’s really important to gain clarity around your goals and why they are important to you. To do this create a vision of what achieving your goals will give you so that the actions steps you must take to get there will be a must and meaningful for you.
2) How much exercise and what?
We get that Resistance Training isn’t everyone’s favourite way to exercise but the benefits are way too amazing to ignore! Just like brushing our teeth is a daily non-negotiable, so too is resistance training. To make it easy create a routine. Lock in your 2 training sessions a week, and set and forget. Then let the magic of doing that work consistently over time reward you. With just 2 sessions a week there’s plenty of room to include other favourite types of exercise!
3) How often to eat and what?
One of the big keys to success is eating every 3-4 hours each day. This habit alone will help you regulate your blood sugars and prevent you from those ridiculous cravings that scream ‘chocolate’ or ‘chips’ when you haven’t eaten enough. Once you harness the power of nutrient timing you’ll love how you can really take control of your day and over what you eat and drink.
4) Aligning your values to your actions
What is it that you love to talk about, think about and research? When you align your highest values with your health and fitness goals you’ll be able to find a lot more meaning in the tasks that lead to success.
5) Planning and preparation
If you want that rocking body of health then there is no other shortcut than a bit of planning and prepping to get there. Perfection and hours and hours in the kitchen with lots of mess is never required. Starting from where you are now build some simple planning and prepping habits that feel achievable for you. Then over the course of days, weeks, months and years these tiny improvements to your eating routines will add up to transformational success!
6) The power of accountability
None of us ever get to our dreams on our own. We need to courageously put ourselves out there, surround ourselves with the right people who can support us and believe in us. There’s nothing like the power of accountability and SMART goals to move you forwards.
7) What’s holding you back?
Finally you’ve got to figure out what has been holding you back of taking hold of your dreams! Why do you sabotage yourself? Why aren’t you consistent? Why do you know what to do and then not do it? Then it’s time to overcome your stories, limitations, sabotages and excuses once and for all with powerful affirmations and take hold of your dreams.
Do you know how to leverage the steps to success? If you need support in any of these areas do get in touch.
Legacy Health & Fitness combines group fitness training, weight training, and a complete nutrition and lifestyle program, to improve the health, wellbeing and happiness of its members. And while this may sound like just another gym, or just another quick fix, the culture that Kirsten and Corinne have built is anything but. “Mastering your health can have such a significant impact on your whole life”, says Corinne. “We want our clients to discover our holistic process that will improve their mental health, physical health and their strength. Getting in shape is simply a cherry on the top of an awesome experience in ultimate living”.
For those who may be unconvinced that this clubhouse is anything more than a gym, Kirsten and Corinne are putting together a social committee, who will plan team dinners, activities, and even weekend retreats. “The whole community screams family, and these experiences will give members a chance to stop, pause, calibrate and then accelerate to where they want to go”, says Kirsten.
“With Corinne’s coaching and support, I realised that food wasn’t the enemy I thought it was”, says Legacy member, Deb Burton. “I had become so afraid of eating, and I was at continuous war with food. Through Legacy, I learned to love and enjoy food, and I appreciate that nothing is off limits. I’m 61, and I’ve never felt fitter, stronger, healthier and happier in my life! It feels so good to be surrounded by strong, positive and wonderful women, and to belong to such a fantastic community. I’m living life to the fullest, I love the way I feel and I still can’t believe the person looking back at me in the mirror!”
For Kirsten and Corinne, this year is about bringing their Legacy family together, embedding their roots in Ringwood, and changing the status quo of diet culture for women. “We want to become the best in our game”, says Kirsten. “We will continue on our own journey of self mastery, to show our clients just what is possible for them, and we can’t wait to help more women learn the power of Legacy, so they can ditch the diet drama for good!”
