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!

Improving Your Movement/Physical Literacy Through Training, Activities, & Life

How physically literate are you? Let’s break that down in this episode. Our bodies crave movement to improve fitness, mental state, moods, reduce stress levels, and so on. Movement is integrated in our lives from daily routine tasks to playing sports. Learning how to move well in a variety of ways is essential to improve our physical literacy.Andrew dives into the importance and value of expanding our movement practices. Practicing a wide range of movements throughout the year, through various activities, or periodizing your workouts will help improve your performance. Listen in as Andrew recommends for all of us to intentionally mix things up so that we are not putting our bodies through the same demands year-round. For parents and your kids, it’s encouraged to participate in a variety of sports throughout the year if you enjoy it. As we start to specialize in a single sport, it is essential to have an offseason of around 4 months that consists of different physical demands. Lastly for adults, try to also incorporate various movements and different activities throughout the year. Of course, make sure you are fit and trained to participate safely at that level. Movement skills are something that if we don’t use it, we start to lose it. Train smart, improve your performance, and keep moving.
