Your health is YOUR responsibility.

In this episode, we’re diving into a hard truth: you can’t rely on the medical community to keep you healthy. The healthcare system is designed to treat illness, not prevent it. That’s where YOU come in. 

Here’s the reality:
Your doctor can’t exercise for you.
Your doctor can’t cook balanced, nutrient-packed meals for you.
Your doctor can’t manage your stress, get you to bed on time, or make sure you prioritize movement daily.

Those choices are yours to make. And while medical professionals are there to support and guide you when things go wrong, the best way to avoid needing them is to show up for yourself every single day. 

Stop waiting for a wake-up call. Start building habits that protect your health now, before problems arise. Because prevention is the most powerful tool you’ll ever have.

Being in the industry for 30+ years, we have heard every excuse under the sun about why people can NOT focus on their healthy eating.

Healthy nutrition is simple, basic and really not that complicated.  

The diet industry has made it seem like it is.  And now, with all the influencers who run around the grocery store telling you that food is poison, don't eat this, watch out for this ingredient....it's even more confusing if you listen to that noise.  

Take it from us, you CAN create a healthy nutrition plan that is easy to follow - whether on vacation, traveling, working, or hanging out with friends - once you know the basics, you can put it into practice and be successful.

Ladies, this one is all about you!  If you are over 40, perimenopausal or post-menopausal, you've gained weight and you think you need to do a bunch of cardio to lose weight, DON'T DO IT!

We are here to tell you that adding a lot of high intensity cardio to your workout plan is going to end up working against you.

This is a time to reduce stress in your life.  

Strength Training is the number one activity you should add.  Daily nature walks are helpful to reduce stress and help with sleep.  

Let us help you understand why cardio isn't the answer to weight loss.

From coaching a client to starve themselves for weight loss to watching a trainer ask a client to do an exercise they are clearly not ready to attempt, we've seen and heard some doozies!

Not all trainers are the same.

Certification is just the beginning of the journey.  There also needs to be practice and more education.  

A trainer that doesn't continue their education is most likely not going to be a great trainer to hire.

Find someone who is confident in their skills, keeps learning, and has a desire to help you reach your goals while keeping you safe.

Choosing a Personal Trainer is important to ensure you are with the right one. 

A few things to remember when you are looking for a Personal Trainer:

• Are they certified?  Through which certifying body?
• Are they experienced?  How many years have they trained?
• Are they insured?
• What are their specialties?
• Who do they enjoy training?
• Does their personality mesh with yours?

It's also important to understand everything that goes into the cost of being a Personal Trainer.  Amber did a great video about this and you can watch it on our YouTube channel --> HERE

We hope you enjoy this episode and look forward to you tuning in for more!

Are you able to get up off of the floor?

This is one of the movements that if you cannot do it now, we would suggest practicing and learning how to do this in multiple ways.  

Start out by practicing on all fours and crawling to a chair or sofa where you can use something to help you.  

You can also watch Amber's video HERE for more ideas.

We love a good client success story!  And we have so many to share!!

Success is defined differently for so many people.

Listen to Heather's story about her clients that had issues getting up off the floor.

Getting up off of the floor becomes a critical life skill the older you get.  

You'd be surprised how many people we work with that cannot get down and up off the floor.

That is one of the many functional activities we practice at The Training Toole in Ocala, Florida.

We would love to help you, too!  Reach out to us via Info@TheTrainingToole.com to find out how you can work with us.  Don't live in Ocala?  We are also available for online training!

With the explosion of Online Coaching, we are seeing more and more people who are purchasing and following plans they are buying from online coaches.  

When someone is selling a program to a large number of people, many times, they are selling a cookie cutter plan.  

Cookie cutter plans do not take into account your goals, your needs, your likes and dislikes.  They also will not typically produce the very best results.  

Plans for fitness, nutrition, running, or any other physical activity that isn't specific to you and your needs will not guide you to the best results.

So let's get those BEST results!  Work with us to get that specific program that will help you get awesome results and help you stay accountable.

What happens to your healthy habits when you go on vacation?

Sure, you might relax a little.  And that's ok!  

But do you go completely off the rails....not doing much movement and eating and drinking lots of things you normally wouldn't?

If vacation you is 180 degrees from real life you, are you really living a healthy lifestyle?

A little food for thought as we dive into this discussion.
