I don’t need to hire a coach because I already know exactly what I have to do.” It’s no secret that in order to make healthy changes to your body and lifestyle you need to eat well and exercise. We all know what we have to do to be healthy. So why do so many people still struggle to do it? Because they’re trying to do it all alone.


It’s not as simple as “Eat well and exercise.”


Sixty-three percent of people still say they’re trying to lose weight a year after they start. Why, when you know what you need to do to be healthy, is it still such a struggle? There are a few reasons…


First,
you’re counting calories. When trying to lose weight, eighty-five percent of people start counting calories or macros. But that isn’t helpful if you don’t know what numbers to aim for and what types of food to get your calories from. So then it’s hard to stay on track. Especially during the summer when you’re vacationing and meeting up with people at restaurants. It’s hard to keep track. 


Next,
you’re doing the wrong workout. Especially when you’re starting out, exercise can be physically, mentally, and emotionally hard. Trying to figure out whether you should workout at home or go to the gym. And if you decide on the gym, do you try a class or weightlifting or head for the treadmill. You might not know what your limits are yet, so you might push too hard and then feel discouraged the next day when you can’t move or you might be holding back because you don’t think you can do more than what you’re doing. 


A coach can give you the strategy that you need!


Eat healthy and exercise
isn’t a simple idea. And if what you’re doing right now isn’t working for you, it’s because you haven’t found the right strategy. So what is really holding you back from hiring a coach? We hire coaches in all areas of our lives to make us better at what we’re doing. Career coaches and relationship coaches can help you do more with your work and with your personal life. A sports coach can teach an athlete the skills they can’t teach themselves. So when it comes to making healthy changes to your body, why wouldn’t you hire a professional to work with you?


Creating a body that feels healthy, strong, and full of energy is more complex than counting macros and exercising. With a strategy specifically designed
for you, you can go farther in less time. If you want to make real, sustainable changes, I would love to help you create a strategy that works perfectly for you. You know you need to eat well and exercise. So let’s fine tune that idea and then let’s create a strategy that will allow you to implement it.


If you’re ready for your physical body to reflect the badass that you are inside, you need to get a coach.
