Your Power Potential is where potentiating health meets accelerating your fit to perform.
I teach you how to extract power from your body’s movements and harness the force behind your breathing – working together to drive performance toward what you want out of life. Through specific movement patterns and targeted breath control, you’ll learn to tap into and utilize these fundamental forces, empowering you to show up at your best when it matters most.
The most important thing is to know where you are at before spending time and money on what you want to do to achieve your life’s goals, or how you want to show up at your best anytime.
This requires me to be curious how you currently exist in your body. What are your areas of hidden potential? What are the obstacles:
- injuries (past & current),
- imbalanced movement patterns,
- dysfunctional breathing patterns,
- habits,
- mindsets
- exercises/activities you are currently doing that don’t serve your goals.
So many people who have succeeded with my programs have not had these areas addressed. They were given exercises on a stress and sub-par system that didn’t have good support or literacy of how to do the exercises given….just given without the personalized how based on what you bring in your body and mind (exercise is a stressor because it is asking your body to do something for a desired change).
Do you understand what being fit to perform well requires of you?
It requires first and foremost to be able to move and exercise without lingering and limiting pain.
Moving and exercising in pain is a health issue. Please do not exercise in pain. This does not serve your body. And you need your body to carry out what you want to do in life. To understand more please read my article on the consequences of not moving well.
You need to be in a healthy state for the exercises you want to do to be better, to work and not destroy you….make you worse than before you started the program. Your body, and eventually the mind, adapt and compensate (taking from another area to do what is asked) to the signals of pain, threatening tensions & pressures (the body senses these things).
So moving you body well is best before you move often.
Exercising well, before exercising often.
The same is true about breathing.
Breathing well is founded in healthy breathing in daily activities, and then how your physiology behaves during exercise and voluntary demands you place on your body and mind for a desired change….to be better at something you want to be better at. Breathing well is not that you can breathe without a breathing problem, such as asthma. Breathing well is syncing the dynamics of your breathing to the given demand of the acitivity, requiring a felt sense and attention to what is occurring, (do you know what this feels like? if not this article can help) because what happens inside that your body coordinates your physiology – which trumps all physical activity, health and being fit to perform.
Do you know where you need to start to get to where you want to go? It is important to find this out before the issue of a strain, injury or illness takes you off the path of your desires.
- Assessing the situation – It is best to know where you are, and where you want to go
- Testing and Retesting to see how the targeted solutions you are practicing impact many arenas in your life.
- Aim high and avoid the short-cut quick fixes – being pain free is not a life long functional goal and often leads to setbacks and disappointments.
- Having stability in the body goes a long ways in life – the body and mind are often more fluid and flexible when the nervous system senses stability.
- Starting off on the “right” foot is a good foundation for success.
Hike Long & Prosper – Breathe Well and Move Well….Often are my mottos.
