With so many exercises to choose from, it was difficult to limit this list to just five. I tried to include categories of exercises, exercises that have a lot of options for making them harder or easier depending on fitness level and training age. It doesn't matter how old you are though. These exercise categories apply to your program because of how transferable they are to life outside the gym.
In today's episode I had the pleasure of talking with Aaron Boike about his 2021 Ouray 100 Endurance Run finish. We talk about many things including Aaron's key takeaways from his 2021 finish, details of the course, mindset, technique, foot care and a whole lot more. The Ouray 100 is a one hundred mile endurance run in the San Juan Mountains of Southwestern Colorado. With almost 84,000 feet of elevation change at an average elevation over 10,200 feet, it is regarded by many as the most difficult 100 miler in the world. Aaron is the only person I know that has both finished the Ouray 100 and coached someone to a finish. I look forward to Aaron helping get me to the start line prepared to be one of the few Minnesotans to finish the Ouray 100. Aaron is the owner of Performance Running Gym in St. Louis Park. https://www.performancerungym.com/ The blog post Aaron wrote about his event is linked here: https://trainerontherun.blogspot.com/2021/08/ouray-100-true-mountain-ultra-experience.html Visit Relentless Courage: https://www.relentlesscourage.co/
I have been asked who I help many times and for the first time the other day it just rolled off my tongue. Let me tell you the story quick. I was at my daughter's basketball tournament and noticed a familiar face sitting in his lawn chair watching games with his notepad in hand. As I looked closer I recognized him as Grant McGinnis who writes for Prep Girls Hoops. I knew I needed to introduce myself so I did. It was cool to hear someone else break down my daughter's game but that's not what this story is about. Grant and I started talking and he asked, like many people do, what I did for work. I told him I was a Master Health Coach and he asked what types of clients I served. My answer didn't surprise me but it was refreshing how effortlessly and hopefully my response came to me. So, what types of clients do I serve? My typical clients are those people who come to a place in life where they want more. They want to grow healthier so they can get a part of their youth back! Some are totally sick of where they are currently with their health. Some can't stand seeing themselves in the mirror. Some people have difficulty putting their life in order with all the things that seem to be pulling at their time and energy. Some just can't believe how far they've slid since they last took inventory of their health. Some wonder what type of example they are setting for their kids and those around them. Some are experiencing limits in their freedom to move in the world that they've never experienced before. Some just need something to do and figure a small investment in their own health might be a good place to start. It is by the way. Can I help you run a marathon? Yes. Can I help you run 100 miles? Yes. That's not what this is about though. There's a place for that but this is about navigating everyday life. I've got 15 years experience in the fitness industry and have seen lots of fads and gimmicks come and go. There is no substitute for the basics, no substitute for mechanics. They seem easy, and most of them are. Most of the time they aren't that simple though. Why? Most people don't know what to do or they don't know how to do it. They Google something in a fleeting moment of inspiration, find an answer, stick with it for a day or two and go right back to whatever they were doing wishing they could just do it. It's not that simple. Habits don't form themselves and old patterns can be difficult to break. You might be surprised to learn that it doesn't take an all or nothing approach to make sustainable change and real change does take time. Chances are you will have some setbacks. Good! How else are you going to learn what works for you and what doesn't? You're not, which is why our approach is different. We expect setbacks. Do not be unrealistic and set yourself up for failure. Instead, let's learn together with your knowledge of yourself and my knowledge of healthy living how reaching your goals fits into your unique life. Then, we'll piece it together. During my six month Master Health Coach Certification with Precision Nutrition we learned and practiced the skills necessary to help clients change their lives.

Last time I came to you there was a lot going on. There still is but we're making progress. There is now a calendar that you can slide into to schedule time with me. For the foreseeable future that first 30 minute session will be free. We'll set a goal and go over your personalized nutrition plan. Programs with Relentless Courage are so much more than food though. I help people just like you create keystone habits around stress, sleep, food, movement and change using organization, insight and accountability. There are three offerings. The first offering is nutrition coaching. This is one on one 30 minute sessions over Google meet. The second offering is personal coaching. This involves monthly habits that I will assign to you and you'll be reminded every day to do them. Offering three is executive coaching and fitness training. This one is for those local folks who would like a more in person approach or an approach that deals with executive coaching, public speaking and corporate well-being. Here is a link to my calendar so that you can schedule your first free 30 minute nutrition coaching session with me today.  https://calendly.com/relentlesscourage/complimentary-nutrition-coaching
