Countdown to Summer 2022

Countdown to Summer 2022

56 days from the official start of Summer on June 21st. And Memorial Weekend (only 1 month from this week!) is the unofficial start of Summer. 


Summer of 2022, what do you have planned? 


Maybe you're finding yourself saying - "I want to be in the best shape of my life this Summer!" 


Nothing wrong with that. 


I'd like to encourage you to take that goal of being in the best shape of your life one step further with this question - 


"What do you want to be in the best shape of your life for?"


"Your body is an instrument, not an ornament." - Lexie and Lindsay Kite.


The human body is an incredible machine and we can train it to do anything. ANYTHING! Personally, I’ve had the opportunity to follow specific training programs for a number of different physical goals and every one of them I’ve learned about myself and my body.


When I shifted from focusing on training to "lose weight" or "get a six pack" to focusing on what my body can do, using my body as an instrument to conquer obstacles feeling empowered, lift twice my body weight or cross the finish line of a race I experienced my body changing to adapt to the specific goal getting stronger, leaner, fitter and seeing visible muscle including a six pack in order to be able to do the thing I was training for. Focus on what your body is capable of, not what it looks like.


Realizing that chasing the goal of being lean or weighing a certain number doesn't lead to being able to do more with your incredible machine of a body and instead can lead to a distorted body image especially when maintaining that state is unrealistic. 


Focusing on what your body is capable of rather than how it looks will lead to realizing your body's potential to do things you never thought you could do, have experiences of a lifetime along with better health and happiness while your body transforms to become the athlete you need to become for your specific goal.


If you’ve set yourself a goal to “Be in the best shape of your life” let’s get more specific and decide what you want to be in the best shape of your life for? What’s important to you right now? 


I've realized over the years for our clients and myself goals focusing on what your body can do rather than how you look set you up for a healthier relationship with your body.


Is it to be able to do the things you want to do to enjoy life and live an active lifestyle? 


Be able to hike with your family? 


Water ski again this summer? 


Play Beach Volleyball? 


Having an event or experience you are training for is much more powerful than looking a certain way. 


Is it to be superhuman with a robust immune system able to fight off COVID or one of the ongoing variants with a body composition that is optimal for health and reduced inflammation?


"Strong People are harder to kill." - Mark Rippetoe


At Results Fitness we believe in creating a scientific program using the SAID principle, Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands, where each client is treated as an individual to reach a specific goal. 


The more specific your goal the more measured progress we can help you make toward that goal by creating a program to fine tune your instrument to be ready to perform.


What do you want to be in the best shape of your life for?

Calling all Athletes (remember if you have a body you are an athlete!)
By Rachel Cosgrove 01 Feb, 2024
I've got a question for you: Are you regularly crushing goals - or are you like most people, getting crushed instead? Overwhelm, mis-directed energy and poor planning are a few of the cornerstones of failure - but the biggest reason we fail? MINDSET. Yup. When they say, “IT’S ALL IN YOUR HEAD!”... they’re right! Looking back at doing the research for my very first book "The Female Body Breakthrough", I learned the science behind mindsets that set the stage for positive, lasting change - and mindsets that prepare you to fail - before you even start.
