A Year In - How The Pandemic Has Impacted Our Workouts

A Year In - How The Pandemic Has Impacted Our Workouts

It’s Been 365 Days and some of us….…are still feeling lost on our fitness journey. For me, it’s been a hard year. I started with the same mindset of this will give me ample time to workout. And it has, but other things have kind of gotten in the way of that. For me, it is injury. Yes the back issue I have written about before – still here, still looming. It reminds me that if I workout too much I will be out for a week or two here and there, it also reminds me that something like pushing in a bench can throw it out completely. It’s really annoying if I’m being frank. I went from hauling loads of weight (the culprit) to moving tiny weights, completely seated, and for a longer period of time. I don’t necessarily mind that though…

Boundaries and Balance: We All Need Both

Boundaries and Balance: We All Need Both

We are all entitled to living our lives the way we want to. We are in control of the choices we make, which can be healthy or unhealthy. There really is no in between. We stay active or not. We eat nutritious foods or not. We have some sort of routine we stick to or not.

Quarantine, Isolation, and Workouts

Quarantine, Isolation, and Workouts

Fluctuation. Distraction. Depression. Anxiety.

These are words I’ve heard throughout coaching in 2020. These are words I’ll continue to hear as many people are struggling with the curve ball that has been thrown at us all this year.

Staying Fit During COVID? Me too.

Staying Fit During COVID? Me too.

Let’s be honest everyone, gyms are closed because of it being a true health hazard, but that doesn’t mean you need to lose traction with working out. It’s a new climate out there and everyone is adjusting – I will proudly say though, my Mutch Fitness clients have been killing the home workout game since before COVID.

Think You're Too Old or it's Too Late to Workout? You're Wrong!

Think You're Too Old or it's Too Late to Workout? You're Wrong!

The fitness industry often uses marketing to draw in younger, legging wearing women, or shirtless 8 pack men to promote their products or programs. Though this tactic can draw in a younger crowd of fitness seeking individuals, it definitely does not cover a majority of those looking to stay in shape and stay healthy.

Lessons Learned on Accountability Coaching

Lessons Learned on Accountability Coaching

One of the biggest needs my clients have when they come to me is accountability. Something that can give them a little extra boost to say, ‘I have a workout today, I need to get it done.’ Sometimes you just don’t – for whatever reason, and that’s okay.

There Are No Barriers

There Are No Barriers

It’s important we work hard to make sure we don’t pile up excuses and let it prevent us from being healthy and strong. I truly believe no matter where you are, what you have, and how little or much time you have – there is time to workout if you want it.

Are You Willing to Die for Your Kids?

Are You Willing to Die for Your Kids?

The funny thing about health is that it can be sneaky. Someone can appear ‘skinny’ or ‘thin’ whatever you want to call it, but that’s just the outward appearance. Are you taking care of the core of your being? Your heart. Are you heart healthy, do you exercise your heart to make it strong, healthy, and long lasting?

Growth is a wild ride. There are so many unknowns, but once you take the plunge there’s no looking back. I have almost 40 active clients, a handful of them have been with me since the beginning – just over one year.

As we become a more mobile population, remote training becomes the most flexible, accountable, and long lasting routine for my clients. They completely eliminate the alternative of relying on a stationary trainer or gym.

No Punishment Necessary

No Punishment Necessary

The holidays are always full of excitement, friends, family, and...food. We tend to celebrate or ‘come together’ over a pile of sugar cookies that look like little trees or menorahs, and before we know it that pile is gone.
