Who doesn't love a good core challenge?
Here are 3 of my favorite core exercises to add to the end of my workout
* Medball Hollow Body Tosses x 10 reps
* Medball V Ups x10
* Medball leg lifts x10
**Bonus if you can transition one to the next with no break**
Repeat x3

Coach Chloe helps me demonstrate how to set up and brace in a deadbug. The video below is a super cute video, but let me make sure I get my point across here.
When you set up in a deadbug:
*Your entire body is locked in. Like if I walked by and pushed you in one direction or the other your body would tip over together
*If I pulled on your leg or arm, I shouldn’t be able to move it freely
* Your ribs are tucked so hard that if I came and pushed on your abdomen it would be rock solid
It’s easy to be passive through a deadbug, but they are probably one of the best exercises to teach you how to brace and engage which carries over to all major lifts. If you want to keep your back safe when you lift, then you better take deadbugs seriously! Check out the video below
Have you ever had one of those workouts that left you feeling drenched in sweat, slightly nauseous, and oddly accomplished?
Yeah me too. They suck while you’re doing them, but they give you this odd sense of accomplishment when it’s over. Often times your body feels a little beat up or extra sore the next few days and that validates a job well done and results, right?
Well, not quite. Don’t get me wrong, those workouts have their place. They are fine to do sometimes, but our goal at Get Fit NH is to give you great training that you can recover from.
Why is that?
Let’s break it down to really understand the results. The 80-10-10 rule…
10% of the time you come in and you annihilate the training. You hit a PR, the weights feel light, and you’re just on fire
10% of the time you are massively dragging. Like you totally bribed yourself to get to the gym, you slug through, every weight feels like a cinder block and quite frankly, you’re just going through the motions…but you did it.
80% of the time though…this is where results live. 80% of the time you come in, you put your best foot forward, you leave and you come back recovered so you can do it again. Consistency wins results.
Do you think if you have training after training of PRs or barely being able to walk or laying on the floor trying not to puke you would come back feeling recovered and ready to hit another training? I’ll give a hard no on that one. It feels good to get a tough training in every now and then and see how your consistent effort is paying off, but it’s not sustainable in the long-term game.
On the flip side, make the most out of the time you are here. Understanding that not all days will be your best and some days you may be low energy, but those shouldn’t be most days. If it is most days then make sure you grab a coach so we can talk about external factors that may be affecting your performance. Nutrition, sleep, and stress management all play a role in results.
We are excited to finish off first quarter with a referral challenge!
Our existing referral reward
Every person that you refer and signs up to train with Get Fit NH earns you $50 cash and earns them $50 off their first month. We hand out referral rewards quarterly.
From now through March 24th we are going to sweeten the deal for you
MANY of you have referred already this year and because I love you....I am going to throw you into the raffle now to motivate you to KEEP SHARING and thank you!
One more thing, because if you know me then you know I love to overshare 🙂
The last couple of years we have put a huge emphasis on growth as we worked hard to recover our numbers from COVID. We have achieved that goal. This year we are not focused on the massive growth in client numbers. We are happy with our current number and wish to maintain that. We will be asking for referrals more often rather than our "offer" type of emails that generated interest and growth.
Our goal this year is to improve your experience. To make sure that happens, I decided to start by investing massively in my team so that they have the tools to be the most valuable coach they can be. I am taking them all to Dallas, TX next month for a huge conference/continuing education called 'Raise the Bar" We are looking forward to growing professionally and getting some fresh ideas from some of the most elite coaches in the industry. We do not take this job lightly and we are committed to continuous growth. This team travel will impact a couple of training days, but we are working on a plan for that to make sure you don't miss time in the gym! More deets to come on that!
Thank you for being a part of the ride
