I am tired of seeing people drop a dime, bend over to pick it up, while doing so, a hundred falls straight out of their back pocket.

With the holidays about to spill over I thought it was time to relate a few items that are important this time of year.  

I am not going to give one of the ra ra speeches about how to ovoid overeating and drinking or how to not offend you mother in-law.....again.  What I am going to do is talk about being active over the holidays and more importantly being charitable.  

We believe that a company’s core values should define who they are and uphold a standard that must always be met.  We have worked hard to develop these to not only write them on paper but allow them to define Coastal Fitness as a whole.  These values have allowed this business to thrive in a less than ideal financial market and are something that we feel should be a public symbol of who we are and what we stand for. We realize that some of the values may seem to overlap, but have been left separate as we feel it necessary to recognise them on their own.

The Coastal Fitness staff recently attended a conference/seminar in Seattle, Washington. Here is a little background as to why we chose to go and few of the benefits of what we learned in becoming FMS(Functional Movement Screen) Certified.

Tomorrow. What does this word mean to you? For some it means opportunity, many procrastinate until tomorrow,for others it has worry, yet there are those who think tomorrow is a fairy tale. I fall into the latter category.

A Coastal Fitness team member recently submitted a new blog post on goal setting. (To be posted soon). This is a very important step for all of us who are looking to make changes with our body or even just to stay healthy over the long term. I got to thinking as I was reading it over, that there was something missing, not in the article itself but in the whole idea. Something that was integral to the success of reaching said goal. I thought to myself, what a great learning opportunity this was, a way that I can improve as a trainer. I realize that while both long and short term goal setting is vital for client’s success; the action steps to get there are actually ‘the plan’.

With summer’s inevitability we thought it appropriate to write a quick blog update on fat loss. I mean, really, who wants the stuff....? This post will shed light on some generally accepted fat loss methods that simply just don’t work; but more importantly what does. Firstly, I would like to thank Alywn Cosgrove for providing the muse for this post.  Seeing him speak at a Perform Better conference recently was nothing less than eye opening and inspiring.  My hope is that the research presented will put an end to your fruitless fat loss methods.  You can achieve significantly more in less time than you thought.

We are always asked about this product and that product,

“Well what do you recommend?” So in an effort to save our ever increasingly valuable breath we have created this list.  So here is a little review of a few of the products that we use both personally and with our clients.

My wife has a great health insurance plan that includes regular visits to the dentist.  A valuable asset that many covet.  They pay pretty much 100% of all our visits as long as they fit into the ‘normal’ category; once a month whitening’s for the $1,000,000 smile are extra.  Ok, so I’ll get right to it, I had a spot that had the very strong potential to become a cavity in the near future, so I book in to have a ‘preventative resin’ done so the cavity doesn’t happen.  This is where things started to get a little squirrely.

This week has been one of the best weeks professionally in the last year.  Coming back from 2 weeks in Maui I had a tough week suffering from severe vacation hangover.  Thankfully I am not the type of person to be overwhelmed by a down week.

As the years of experience start to pile up there are certain things that one hears in certain situations over and
over.  One of the ones I have been reminded of lately is ‘I don’t have time’.  Whether the goal is more exercise, food preparation, self improvement reading, more sleep, etc, the excuse (yes, I said excuse) is 7 times out of 10, “I don’t have time”.  This past year has given me perspective like no other.
