An Online Course
The Mind/Body Empowerment Method
Cut the complexity that's holding you back and embrace the essentials of how to move, look, and feel the way you want!
I'm a personal trainer who hated gym class.
If you feel like you're either born with fitness ability or not, I encourage you to read read on. I may "have it together" now, but let me tell you - it wasn't always that way!
I was NOT a fit or confident kid, teenager, or young adult. I went through endless cycles of starting and stopping diets, workouts, courses, habits, you name it - all in a desperate attempt to feel better about myself.
I would make big promises, then fail to keep them. If there was a prize for having the most partially-filled journals and abandoned goals, I would be on the podium for sure.
It's taken me years of trial and error, but I realized I wasn't broken, I was just overwhelming myself with too many goals and not enough support! Once I figured that out, I began to learn how to stay motivated, avoid overwhelm, and see the results that I've wanted for so long. I now love my version of fitness and health!
What's the foundation of the MBEM?
What if I told you that all workouts, even the most complex, are remixes of 7 foundational movements, and that mastering those can solve a lot of the injury and accountability problems around fitness?
It's true! The 6 (+1) "primal movements" are:
- Squat
- Lunge
- Hinge
- Push
- Pull
- Twist
- + Walking
Too often, our modern daily routines do not include all (or even most!) of these essential movements. If you don't use it you lose it, and like forgetting how to play an instrument or speak a second language, they become a struggle.
When we lose our ability to do these movements with ease, we also lose confidence with exercise in general and tend to avoid it. That leads to yet more tightness and weakness in all the spots we don't want it, which makes it even less likely that we'll exercise.
It's a terrible feedback loop to be stuck in, but it's common.
Even when we want to work out and improve our physical health, we are often overwhelmed by excessively complicated routines made by people who want you to think they've discovered some magic secret.
We then get the message that our lack of ability to follow-through is because something about us sucks. (Spoiler: we don't suck, but capitalism and the patriarchy sure do!)
Common sense & intuition... even if you don't feel it yet!
The MBEM contains everything I feel is most important! In addition to the primal movements, you can expect to find:
- Core stability and strength
- How to care for shoulders, hips, wrists, ankles, and the neck
- Warmups and stretching
- Intro to mindfulness and meditation + practical uses
- Emotional eating and escaping the diet trap
- Getting motivated and improving mindset
- Procrastination, sleep, exercise planning... and more!
What to NOT expect is that you need to do everything all at once - the program is designed to foster sustainable change that does start immediately, but more importantly it builds over time with the long-game in mind.
Basically, no more all-or-nothing overwhelm and quitting because it's not perfect! We're talking big-picture success here.
