Well hasn’t January just flown!!! Seems like 2 days ago I was saying goodbye to 2016, and now we are nearly at the end of January. Next week I will be another year older (and hopefully wiser)
This week we have a new Website of the Week, and some sensational articles from places that you probably wouldn’t expect them to be.
Website of the Week
I have shared several articles from Dr.Freedhoff, so I thought it was about time I gave his website the huge thumbs up. If you want to gain a better understanding of the nutrition world, as well as obesity, and exercise, Yoni is one of my go to resources.
General Health and Fitness
How do you learn about your chosen field? Do you (1) just follow the what you have been taught previously, never reading anything new, or do you (2) continue to learn and educate yourself? I know several coaches and trainers who can’t get out of their head out of what they have been taught, never wanting to think any other way is better. Always learn. You will be better off (as will you clients).

Yes I know. I am doing myself out a job, but let me tell you the reason why. We get all caught up in the New Years Resolution time warp, where we think we need to get started right away. All our intentions are right, but it’s all the timing and delivery. Sure. There are some trainers who will just take your money, and don’t worry about your mental well being. All they see is the $$$ signs.
