Happy Monday, !

Do you have people in your life who you DON’T want to disappoint?

If you have, you’ll reach your goals faster!

Here’s why…

A study published in the International Journal of Sports and Exercise Psychology found that there are THREE types of support that influence our results:

🤝 Emotional support: can help you START and MAINTAIN a health and fitness routine.

This could mean having someone to commiserate with… or someone to cheer you on!

🤝 Practical support: doesn’t necessarily help you START a new routine, but it can help you keep up a routine once you’ve got the ball rolling (like a walking buddy you meet up with every weekend).

🤝 Negative support: can lead you to do LESS! This is when certain people (we all know them!) try to talk you out of your new habits so THEY don’t have to change.

If you don’t have the other two kinds of support, it’s easy to let the negative support sabotage your progress!

My invitation?

Take a minute this week to think about who’s in your corner (or could be) when it comes to you getting healthy.

Does anyone come to mind? Are they clear on what you want to achieve and how they can help you stay accountable?

If you need a support system, any of our Studio 1:1 Coaching or Online Group Class Mind-Body Dojo 5.0 programs could be the next best step.

Send me an e-mail with the word SUPPORT, and let’s chat about your goals!

Committed to Your Success,
