The Tactics

The nuts and bolts of your coaching program

The tactics are all about the what you'll be doing in your actual program, everything from practicing a habit (eat slowly), doing your exercise program (lower back strengthening level 1), self myofascial release and body maintenance (foam rolling and mobility drills), box breathing and meditation, and much more.

Together we will create a program which may include

Daily program - what to do from day to day

Weekly Program - What programs to do each day if we are working on multiple areas, like shoulder mobility, and lower back hinge program

Daily/ weekly /fortnight habits, such as getting up and making your bed each morning, meditating for 15 minutes and walking 20 minutes to work

Its individualized to your needs

I create programs that are specific to your needs, where your body is at, how much time you have to practice and your goals. No one person gets the same program, they may look similar, things I help you with include

WHAT - should I do

This ranges from the best type of exercise to do, how to approach your nutrition and the best way to start a meditation practice.

WHAT-I shouldn't do

I save your time and energy by eliminating stuff you just don't need, will work against your goal, or could downright injure you. Sometimes it what you don't do that's as important as what you do.

HOW to do X, Y, Z

The how is about the technical side, the correct technique, position, posture, alignment, and execution. this is the instructional component of where you learn the skills to actually do the program, like doing a squat with good form, how to prepare a protein smoothie, or how to sit when meditating

FREQUENCY - how often, how many

Should you do your yoga flow program every day, or only on the weekends. Is it OK to do HIIT training before my yoga class, or after?

Frequency is the detail of how much, time, reps, sets, frequency, duration, and rest are all aspects of timing that I coach you through.

The old adage of not too much, not too little, but just enough.

TYPE - of exercise

In my programming, for you, I have an extensive toolkit of exercises, and systems to select from. I am not bound to a single system or type of exercise, but rather blend and integrate what works best for you.

A typical coaching program may include

Yoga Asan for mobility flexibility, concentration, focus and relaxation

Functional Strength training using kettlebells, barbells, dumb bells, bands tubing

Gymnastics strength and mobility training for developing flexibility, core strength, mobility and dynamic movements

Pilates to enhance posture, alignment, breath control

PRI drill to facilitate correct, position, alignment, and muscle activation

Tai Chi and Martial arts Forms and Kata to enhance mind-body awareness

High-Intensity Interval Training to develop a robust cardiovascular system

Cardio endurance to develop long sustained work capacity

Rehab Exercise and Drills to address any injuries, muscle imbalances, and dysfunction.

Nutrition coaching, how to eat healthily, identify inflammatory foods, what supplements to take, and eating for specific goals weight loss /gain, performance, mental clarity, endurance, metabolic flexibility.
