January 2019

Feeding Your Fear

As you set your sights on new goals and training sessions, if your fear getting the best of you, resulting in losing your self control with food? Are you making sure every mitochondria in your muscles is at its' max carb stores?

This can lead to many problems:

-GI distress

-inflammation

-injury

-addition to push over and over

-anxiety

-sleep problems

-hunger

-exhaustion

-weight gain

Now how to you fight this common cycle? First is your goal fair to where you are and where you have been? Make sure the goal is within you and can keep you engaged but overstressed. Second, look at your ability to recover in your training week, month and year. Is your training plan allowing you stress to make progress but also rest to make progress. It is a fine balance. Lastly, are you adjusting your meals during th week so you can have good workouts when you need the fuel but then bringing the refueling down to balance the stress from fueling.

Metabolic Testing

This testing is something I oversaw for 12yrs at TFP but are now choosing to contract it out so we can focus on training but it will continue to be a foundation of TFP coaching both Endurance Athletes & common fitness people looking to feel well and push off disease. A bonus, they offer a full body Dexascan to tell you your fat, muscle & bone levels in all areas of your body.

How it helps us: -we know HR zones are right -we know cal/min in each zone, loss over hours -we know what fuel you are losing and know need to maintain energy -we know what is the potential fat burning %, if below, the urgency to make change for to reduce fatigue, injury & bonking -we know the correlation to future health if low fat burning is the result

Here are the options we have set up for TFPers:

2 Months of Basic Training Plan + 2 Tests = $560 2 Months of Basic Nutrition Coaching + 2 Tests = $400 2 Personal Training Hour Sessions + 2 Tests = $270 Monthly Metabolic Clinic + 2 Tests = $220

Next Clinic is Dec 16th 5pm.
