They Got Lifestyle Coaching and Training Early
http://www.performancelifestyle.com/blog/2008/09/18/they-got-lifestyle-coaching-and-training-early/trackback/Today, I was at a conference with Ryan Lee, a fitness industry expert who helps fitness pro’s build their business.
As I was learning about all the new fitness products under development in various markets, talking and listening to other professionals, I was reminded about the one thing that most lifestyle and fitness experts have in common…
…they have have a background in athletics.

You see athletics teaches you a mindset and it’s a learned mindset that is very different than the person who does not have this background.
If there is one thing that makes the difference between those people who’s lifestyle’s promote health and success and those who simply rely on diet and exercise programs to deal with the consequences of a poor lifestyle, which is
working against them… it is their mindset.
You see people with athletic backgrounds, for the most part learned more than the average person about lifestyle and fitness early on, and it often stays with them, particularly if they’ve made a profession in the lifestyle health and fitness fields.
This mindset is the reason why they don’t struggle taking care of themselves, living at or near their ideal weig.ht, or with exercising.
It’s also the reason why they are often very effective at goal achievement.
To them, they approach it all from a different point of view. A much more empowering point of view.
It is their lifestyle, they constantly improve it, and they wouldn’t think of living any other way.
Their lifestyle works "for" them, by choice!
My lifestyle works for me, and yours can work for you at a much higher level than it is right now.
Do you want to take your lifestyle to the next level?
Lifestyle coaching and training is the same thing young athletes get when playing sports and you can learn the same to perform better in you life and business, or sport!
It can all be learned and it will make a difference for you.
What’s your background?

By submitting their stories, each person will automatically be entered for a chance to win personal coaching from the coaches to achieve his or her specific goals.
Yep. Even though I have had my eras of lapses, the athletic mindset has never gone away. The owner of the gym where I go thinks I’ve got “discipline” because I’m pretty much in there 5 times a week, even if it’s just a stretch day or a quickie at lunch time. It doesn’t feel like discipline to me. Not working out would feel like not brushing my teeth!
Barbara,
You know just what I’m talking about!
“Lapses” is a good word and very freeing.
There is a mindset that works for us and there are many others that don’t and when you know how to get back to the one that works, even the lapses are smoothed out in the long run,
When our lifestyle is working for us, discipline is not it.
When it’s not, discipline is usually a short live measure.
Great post.
