This week, Andrew dives into the subject of sticking with your goals based on the concept of reaching for the lowest hanging fruit. What this means, stick to smaller goals while starting with a new goal or routine. This concept can be applied to anything, such as your fitness goals, nutrition, or rehab. Andrew provides a great reminder in this episode to remember that small wins spark motivation and lead to bigger wins.

Think about how many times you have started something, set complex goals in the beginning, and then eventually stopped following through. This is common, but mainly because we set our goals too high. Although the strategy of setting higher goals in the beginning seems intuitive, it is not sustainable for long term goal setting. Instead, setting smaller goals in the beginning is often the key to success later on. Simple goal setting has been known to improve people’s attitudes as they celebrate small wins instead of striving right away for the big ones.

In this episode, you’ll learn the importance of sticking to this concept so that you can build your way to success and not burnout or overwhelm. Listen in on this episode to gain some insight into your strength and conditioning, nutrition, rehab, or any type of goal in life! Andrew is full of helpful advice to lead you to success by helping you focus on what you need to target first. Remember not to get caught up in complex tasks, and the biggest takeaway, enjoy what it is that you are doing!

play

06/15/21 • 24 min

A recipe is a great analogy to use when understanding how things fit together and balance out. This week, Andrew talks about what brings together all of the components for elevating your performance. What is your recipe for performance? When it comes to improving your lifestyle and achieving your fitness goals, whatever they might be, there is a delicate balance happening physically and mentally between these factors:

• Training
• Recovery
• Nutrition

These components are complementary to each other, but they must be balanced out so that one does not overthrow the others. As in a recipe, if the components are not in balance, the dish does not taste right. Many things that can throw off the balance of your performance such as training volume, nutrition habits, mindset, recovery, or even information overload that becomes counterproductive.

Make sure to find what’s right for you, and this can be challenging with all of the information available to us. Try to decipher between fancy ads and what will benefit you. In this episode, Andrew dives deep into the subject of creating your recipe for elevating performance.

Remember, what works for one person might be different than what works for your lifestyle. Andrew encourages everyone to enjoy the process, and not to rush it. Listen in on this episode and learn about the importance of each key component to the delicate recipe of your performance, and learn how to apply this to your life. Most of all, embrace the journey and stay positive. Enjoy this episode to find out how to enjoy each step of your journey as you balance your lifestyle towards success. Aloha!

HNL Movement Podcast - Get Started Working Toward Your Goals Immediately!
play

10/11/22 • 20 min

Andrew talks about key points to get started and taking action steps immediately. We are all guilty of putting things off in life, and that may be involving physical activities, health, nutrition, fitness goals. When you take that first step, that will help you to be on your way to make improvements and grow. Andrew discusses 5 key points to take action immediately, if not today, then tomorrow.

1. Start with an appropriate/realistic volume

2. Progress gradually

3. Take interest in improving

4. Enjoy the process

5. Find your support system

Getting over the initial hurdles of getting started could be what gets on you on the right track to accomplish your goals. Andrew concludes with an excellent quote from Episode 16 with Jay Christensen that relates to this episode. “The things that we persist in doing becomes easier, not because the task has changed, but because ability to do has increased.” If we don’t do and put things into action, we take away any chance of increasing our ability and reaching our goals. After you listen to this episode, make your plan to put something into action immediately. Enjoy the episode!

HNL Movement Podcast - Basics Of Elevating Shoulder Health & Performance
play

01/18/22 • 21 min

Your shoulder is an extremely mobile and extraordinary joint in the body. In this episode, Andrew dives into great detail on shoulder function, explaining the anatomy of the shoulder itself and the roles of each moving part. This episode is great for injury prevention, rehab, training, or doing anything in our sports because the shoulder plays a major role in our performance. It’s common to focus most of the attention on the rotator cuff, but when it comes to the shoulder, there are many moving parts beyond just the rotator cuff. Andrew breaks down the highly complex system of the shoulder in a way that will help you understand how the shoulder functions, as well as how to prevent shoulder injuries. Knowing the synergy of the shoulder system is vital to shoulder health.

Listen in on this episode for the full spectrum of information beyond the common assumptions on shoulder function. One of Andrew’s main points includes scapular stability. Our rotator cuff cannot properly do its job if the scapulae are unstable. Even the scapulae alone have a complex anatomical system that plays into the sum of all the moving parts. For example, the scapulae was meant to glide with our movement, which is why the scapulae are not connected to the rib cage by ligaments, but they are connected by muscle tissue instead. This is just a glimpse of some of the details that you’ll learn in this episode that contribute to the knowledge of this entire shoulder girdle system and how it all works together.

This episode is full of so much useful information on how everything in the body is connected, including how core strength contributes to shoulder function. Tune in to learn more about how complex the shoulder girdle truly is, and how to use this information to elevate your performance in sports and in life. Enjoy!
