Happy Thursday Three!
Here are this week's coaching tip, exercise tutorial and question to ponder for the week.
I. Coaching tip
Low-hanging fruit and the big kahuna
When it comes to making changes, you have a choice: make small improvements or tackle the big challenges head-on. Which path is best? Well, it depends on your capacity and willingness. Capacity refers to the time and effort you can devote to the change, taking into account other areas of your life that also require your attention. Is life currently super busy or pretty chill? On the other hand, willingness is determined by the change's urgency, importance, and appeal. Are you excited and motivated to make the change, or are you just mildly interested? There are no right or wrong answers here. Suppose you have a strong desire to make the change but are currently overwhelmed with other responsibilities. In that case, it might be best to start with small, easy-to-achieve wins that can help build your confidence and momentum, also known as "low-hanging fruit". Alternatively, you can choose to tackle the big challenges head-on. These are the most significant and impactful changes that can help you achieve your goals, A.K.A "Big kahuna's". However, they require a lot of effort and time, so make sure you have the capacity and willingness to commit to them. Both options are valid, so choose the one that best suits your situation. Once you have decided, it's time to take action.
II. Exercise Tutorial
1/2 kneeling landmine press
If you've got tight shoulders, pressing overhead can be a bit of a challenge. Instead of focusing on getting stronger, most of the effort goes into trying to get comfortable in the right position or, worse, causing an injury.
Enter the landmine press. It's like a mix between a bench press and a shoulder press. You can get stronger and improve shoulder mobility at the same time.
It's a total win-win situation.
Check out the demo here to see the whole thing in action.
III. Question to Ponder
Murphy's Law
Whatever can go wrong will go wrong.
Life gets busy, people get sick, arguments arise, and kids throw tantrums. How might you plan in contingency to better navigate life's roadblocks?
