Ep 194 The Health and Fitness Motivation Online Workshop Part 2

On episode 194 Coach Allan Misner joins me for part two of the Health and Fitness Motivation Workshop. 

Both episodes 193 and 194 are a walkthrough of the free Health and Fitness Motivation Workbook. Listeners are encouraged to download the workbook to complete the exercises.  

Three key discussion points in this episode are: 

1️⃣ The Importance of Goal-Setting and Self-Management

Coach Allan Misner explains the significance of setting goals and avoiding hitting the brakes when pursuing a goal. He emphasizes committing to a goal for at least 6 weeks for consistency to achieving positive change. Additionally, Allan’s advice to break down goals into micro steps aligns with the A-SMART (action, specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, time-bound) action goal framework, ensuring that goals are realistic and attainable within a specified timeframe. 

2️⃣ Accountability and Self-Efficacy

Allan emphasizes the importance of accountability and intrinsic self-efficacy in achieving fitness goals. Setting up workout partners, joining groups, and establishing consistent routines are pivotal for accountability. Allan also delves into the details of motivation, distinguishing between extrinsic and intrinsic motivation. Additionally, Allan’s insight into the ‘slip to success’ process underscores the importance of self-forgiveness and continual improvement when navigating inevitable setbacks. 

3️⃣ Practical Strategies for Self-Management

We also discuss practical strategies for self-management, emphasizing the need for trial and error to discover what works best for your individual needs. Allan stresses the significance of self-awareness in forming habits based on different mindset types such as "Tires," "Copilots," and "Atlas," each requiring unique strategies for self-management. He points out the importance of creating commitment statements, seeking professional guidance, and finding personalized approaches to self-management.

Main Takeaway: Embracing Self-Management for Health and Fitness Results

The main takeaway for me from episodes 193 and 194 is that our ultimate goal is to become the person we want to be so that you never have to think about needing motivation. By embracing personalized self-management and accountability, you can navigate your unique paths with clarity and purpose. Understanding motivation, goal-setting, and these practical strategies for self-management empower you to make sustainable lifestyle changes and become the person you are meant to be in your health and fitness journey.
