One of the biggest contributors to your success - Self Awareness

Looking for a fitness trainer in Ann Arbor, MI to keep you on track?

Outside motivation is one thing, but maintaining your self awareness is just as important.

Fitness Trainer in Ann Arbor, MI - COVAL Fitness

Having strong self-awareness doesn't necessarily mean that one possesses a keen sense of external self-awareness. A good test on if you happen to be this person is do you have a pretty good grasp on the internal part, but find yourself pushing your agenda on others around you, trying to force your beliefs up on them, and not being open to other ideas? If so, then you're probably what's called in "introspector" (If you want more details on self-awareness and the research behind it then Google "Dr. Tasha Eurich").

Why Resets are Important

What Are Resets Good For?

• Decreasing stress (i.e. tightness, tension, pain) from common areas like the low back, knees, front of the shoulder, and neck.
  
• Re-aligning your body (this is something that is chronic and requires enough frequency aka do it every day:-).
  
• The breathing component will increase activity of the "rest & digest" part of your nervous system (aka parasympathetic nervous system).

TRAINER TIP BY: JESS - PUSH UPS

Having trouble with Push Ups? Our COVAL trainer Jess has some helpful tips for you!

Why are push ups so d*mn hard for women?! 

I can’t tell you the number of females I’ve talked to who have the goal of “just one push up!” like it’s this far off lofty goal that will probably never come to fruition. While sex specific physiological differences do play a part in these particular exercises, there is no reason that females should not be able to bust out this movements (and most females don’t believe me when I say that!).

Use the "Little Brother" to your advantage!

PREFACE:  I have ZERO college football allegiance to Michigan or Michigan State. Saturday's game speaks for itself. If your team won, congrats! If you lost, well, there's always next year.

I assume that the majority of us have that one moment in our lives where we were doubted.  Where we were told that we were nothing.  Where we were told that we won't amount to anything.  For the sake of the metaphor, that we were "Little Brother".

Sometimes that was someone else telling us that.  Other times it could have been that voice in our heads telling us that.

Staying motivated is only part of the game. Sometimes a negative can be made a positive influence. Read some of the COVAL Family's amazing Success Stories

Who Are You Living For?

"I live for (insert person/people)"….

I've heard this statement from a decent amount of people that I've encountered and I heard it all through my childhood.

The disconnect with that statement is that often times, the people that state that aren't firm in their values & principles that they live by, so the model that they demonstrate to the person/people that they intend to live for is distorted.  The person fails to recognize that in order for their statement to be true, that they have to do better for themselves first before they can "live for" someone else.

There's absolutely no shame in this if this is you.

The first thing that you should do though, is clearly define your values & principles that you live by.  Without that, most efforts put forth in life will be misguided and ultimately end up missing the mark.

Start there and the momentum that builds up after that will have the force of a Mack truck as you start to conquer things in your life that seemed unachievable previously.

"I Think What You're Doing Is Very Cool"

This 6'11 giant NBA player, towering over my Grandma, letting her know that her continuing to have a mindset of taking care of her body & her mind through training at the gym was one of the coolest things that he had seen.

He was right.  It is cool.  In fact, we have a lot of cool peeps here at COVAL that are tough as nails and have the right frame of mind that their age is not going to be a defining factor for them.

They continue to push through.  They continue to grow.  They continue to be able to achieve and do things that they didn't think were physically possible for them anymore.

Rick, Gloria, Connie, Candy, Debbi, Bruno, Anne, Susan, David, Candace, Michael, Jack, Harvey, Don S, Sarah, Don L, Annie, and Gram; all near, at, or older than 65 years old and kicking some serious butt in the gym each and every week.

If you're trying to figure out the right time to get started with improving your health & fitness, then just think about the "Cool Kids Club" and do as they do.  Working toward a healthier you is never too late, and it's never something to save for later.

"The gains I have achieved through the help of everyone at COVAL Fitness, in both strength and mobility, have given me renewed hope as I recover from a major injury. The limited time allowed at physical therapy left me very concerned that I would never be active again. I’m now experiencing less daily pain, and back to enjoying an active lifestyle again. This is due to the high level of expertise at COVAL and their continued encouragement. Money well spent on my health and life." - Laura H.
