Today's conversation is with a practicing coach and fitness industry veteran, Allison Tenney.  It's no secret that we love our conversations with practicing coaches because we always walk away with nuggets of information from their learned experiences that will save other coaches time and money.  Allison Tenney is a strength and conditioning coach with a history of coaching collegiate sports.  She has been working in the online coaching space for quite some time now and believe us when we say, Allison has that process dialed in!  She is also gearing up to run a live event, something we have all missed in the last year, so we get into the details of that as well. In this episode we peppered her with questions about how she built her business, the in's and out's of running a live event, how she knew when her programs were ready to expand, knowing your client and so much more.  Allison drops tons of amazing knowledge on us during this episode and you won't want to miss it!  To learn how to become a health coach or to up-level your skills and credentials as a health coach, visit primalhealthcoach.com.

Allison Tenney prefers to be labeled as a strength coach, if you must label her as anything, but her coaching prowess is not why I brought her on this week. Real talk, there’s a good chance that Allison looks like you, and that’s one of the main reasons I brought her on. When it comes […] The post MOTM #220: “When You Know Better, You Do Better” with Allison Tenney appeared first on The Movement Maestro.

MY VIEW OF MANTRAS + FAV MANTRAS TO DATE. I actually used to think mantras were kind of woo woo and stupid. But when you learn more, you know more and you can then make decisions based on that knowledge. Now, I didn't look up, nor do I know the definition of a mantra. But I know I was thinking of them in a restricted manner before. So I'll share my journey to embracing mantras and then walk you through my four favs over the last two years or so. Looking back, I've used “mantras” pretty heavily throughout my life whether it was in sports or religion. Many uses of positive self talk are in a mantra-like form. I've certainly used them by default with lifting weights - repeating the same word or phrase before a lift or even during a lift in order to get me through it with a positive and successful mindset. I personally think of mantras as a word or phrase we repeat with the intent of changing our current reality into one we desire more than our current state. Often, if not always, mantras are things we either believe, or want to believe. So, when I started thinking of mantras as a simple mental practice to better myself, it opened doors of possibility. Because like, I said, I had previously thought of mantras as something that happened with a shaman in a cave with smoke and ancestors. Which may also be true, but not the practice i was looking for. To each his own. Okay, let's get into my fav mantras that I have used and seen growth from over the past two years or so. The first one comes from an entrepreneurial standpoint FOR SURE. I don't remember if Allison Tenney or my Mastermind said it first, but it was def from one of those humans. Mantra #1 is: THIS CAN BE EASY It is so common to feel overwhelm and mild panic in the work of entrepreneurship. Shit hits the fan more often than not, especially when you're just starting out. Obviously with the more experience you have, the more confidence you gain in your ability to solve problems and roll with the punches. But even then, it's never fun to have the wrong email link go out to thousands of people, or the internet to crash during your live call, or just...doing your taxes, in general. So when we got home, I was pretty stressed and had given myself some rather unrealistic deadlines for producing and launching the Big Lift Audit with an update to Built By Annie. It was a lot. There were tears. And Nate and I had also planned a two week road trip during this period of time for his birthday, so the pressure was on to get a nauseating amount of work done in a VERY short time. And so I started repeating “this can be easy” “this can be easy” - and I kid you not, just verbalizing that possibility into reality brought a sense of calmness and confidence in myself. It went from complete and utter chaotic overwhelm to “We can do this. People need this. What needs to happen first?” That was the first time I REALLY put this mantra to work and I have used it countless times since, in order to keep my cool and accomplish something that seems overwhelming, unrealistic, or just down right frustrating. In the process of hiring my virtual assistant, contacting the state, and creating and terminating accounts for two months, you better believe “this can be easy” kept me from physically reaching through the phone to rip off the heads of state employment officials. So, give it a try in literally ANY area of life when you need something to feel more possible than it feels right now. I'd even use this in lifting or a hard workout. It's a simple mindset shift into possibilities. There is a #1.5 that kind of goes along with #1. I have time I heard this from one of my 1:1 clients. She was in a stressful season and had a lot going on. It was more than she felt like she had time for. So she was repeating “I have time.” I immediately fell in love with this phrase and have used it on several occasions since then. Again,

Through years of working with women, she’s seen firsthand, the ways that women are limited and torn down by fitness industry narratives that would squeeze them into a one-size-fits-all box. In 2015 she founded the Ignited Womxn Summit, an annual wellness and leadership event designed for learning through an inclusive lens what wellness and leadership can mean so we can actively dismantle limiting narratives and systems that no longer serve us. https://allisontenneyfitness.com/ Are you enjoying the podcast?

Let us know in the comments on the episode page!   On Today's Episode Owning your inner power and your autonomy over your body Why kettlebells are one of the most approachable strength training tools Recognizing the messaging that you do not need to choose for yourself Learning from your past mistakes and the importance of multiple lenses Learn about fitness, nutrition and how you can apply it to your life   Quotes “Yes athletes are disciplined, and they are hard workers and they know how to work in a team and they have grit, and they have all these skills that are team sport oriented. But it’s hard to then know what to do with that identity.” (8:03) “The more I saw those benefits of like, wow if I can swing a kettlebell I can build strength, build stability, get my cardio in, all these massive benefits for myself, and I could teach it to my athletes or my clients. Like this is great, let's check all of these boxes.” (16:50) “Everything we are sold from diet culture to fitness culture, everything is geared around shoving us into this small box. And I’m kind of like enough. Enough with your small box. I want to take up space, I want to use my voice, I want to be able to define what is important to me and how that shows up in my life, just like every other person should be able to do for them.” (20:06) “You can’t just get the feedback and then feel bad about yourself and then decide to do nothing or just let it go. To me, it's about how you are going to take that feedback and take action with it.” (31:30) “You don't have to compromise pieces of who you are to show up as your full self.” (40:26) Resources Mentioned In This Show  Ignited Womxn Summit Website Ignited Womxn Summit Tickets HTK 072: Chrissy King HTK 143: Dr. Tee Williams Harder to Kill Facebook Club Check out the full show notes here!

Today, we’re talking to fitness coach Allison Tenney. Allison is known for her online fitness training programs and for founding the Ignited Womxn Summit, an annual wellness and leadership event that creates a space for learning through an inclusive lens. Over the past two years, Allison has really dug into understanding the importance of diversity, inclusion, and intersectional feminism both within and beyond the fitness space. It all started after her first Ignited Womxn event that she held on the heels of the 2016 Presidential Election. Currently, Allison is preparing for the 2019 Ignited Womxn Summit taking place in Seattle on February 9. During this conversation, she gets incredibly candid discussing challenging topics, and we’re so grateful for her honesty and willingness to share.   In this episode, we talk about… How the Ignited Womxn Summit came to be Why diversity in the wellness space is so important How those who are not a part of marginalized groups can be more supportive of those who are What it means to do the work Resources that can help individuals be better allies If you haven’t already, make sure you get your ticket to the Ignited Womxn Summit!
