I was 18 years into my career juggling exercise psychology with physiology but there was often more. We humans can sometimes put up obstacles to getting the things we say we want, as a way of self-preservation. We protect ourselves from the risk of change. And there we stay stuck unless someone like a coach calls BS for you. I think you'll agree today's guest shares and lives much of this is her everyday actions. My Guest: Christine Conti believes in the “YES. YOU CAN” mindset. Christine is an international fitness educator chronic disease wellness specialist, and the recipient of the IDEA World 2023 Fitness Professional of the Year. She is the CEO of CONTI: a woman-owned enterprise that offers keynote speaking, chronic disease wellness, mindset coaching and continuing education for fitness professionals, schools and private companies. Christine is also a best-selling author, podcast host, co-founder of REINVENTING THE WOMAN INTERNATIONAL, a 3x IRONMAN and a guide for Special Olympic athletes. After receiving a life-changing diagnosis at age thirty, this former investment banker and English teacher is determined to show the world that ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE! Questions We Answer in This Episode: You're a woman in midlife, you've had some health obstacles but leveraged them and turned them into assets, and you're doing some “big reach” things, talk about that! Why do you believe most people are unable to face their fears? What are some words or advice that you live by? How do you juggle "all the things?" Reflect: Are you swinging for the fence or playing it safe?

I've literally been waiting for this episode since June when Christine Conti won the prestigious IDEA 2023 Fitness Instructor of the Year in Los Angeles, CA. Yes, I had to wait to record this one so I could be LIVE at the Jersey Shore with my fellow Brick, NJ, fit-fam friend in her podcast studio (Two Fit Crazies & a Microphone). This episode could easily be called “2 Fire-breathing dragons (literally) and a microphone” and you will see WHY during the show. Christine Conti has one heckuva story that epitomizes her “Yes You Can” mentality, attitude, and brand. After receiving a life-changing diagnosis at age 30, this former investment banker and English teacher first transformed her life…and now she transforms others. She's a chronic disease specialist, a best-selling author, a keynote speaker, and life-transformer. She truly is a woman of IMPACT and she's determined to show the world that ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE! Here is specifically what I cover on this week's IMPACT SHOW: A walk-down memory lane from our cherished memories in Brick, NJ (both of our hometown's), including an interesting story when we first met and how that was part of Christine's journey to leave teaching. Hey, it's not my fault! ☺ We talk about Christine's journey, a truly inspiring and mind-blowing ascent, going from a career in investment banking to teaching, then finding her way to the Fit-Pro life! And now she's a world-recognized chronic disease wellness specialist, author, speaker, podcaster, IRONMAN, and a guide for athletes with diseases and disabilities. Why does she believe in the mantra “Yes, you can” and lives by it every day. We go through the moment in her life, her “Come to Jesus” moment, and how she, like all of us, got through challenging periods where she questioned her sanity, thinking she's crazy, but how that led her to her true purpose. A reminder that only the “crazies” can change the world! We talked about her best-selling book, SPLIT-SECOND COURAGE. What does that mean? That is “your ability to make a choice at a split second and not think back, not regret it, not hesitate, not balk. You've had enough experiences, you know how to handle the repercussions of the decision you make. You have the coping mechanisms, you have the techniques in place so that whatever decision you make, you're going to handle it.” Christine's mental toughness is a force to reckon with - she's competed in Ironman races, a 100-mile race, and many other endurance and fitness events. Where that comes from? Why she and her co-host Brian Prendergast have such a good time on their podcast, “Two Fit-Crazies & a Microphone. What's next for Christine Conti? I had a blast doing this in-person interview at the Jersey Shore. It was truly awesome to be “home” and inspiring to connect with Christine and share her story with you.

As we've established many times on the Wellness Paradox only a small fraction of the population goes to health/fitness clubs (< 20% of Americans). There are clearly many reasons for this, but certainly one of the prominent reasons is a lack of programming to truly meet their needs. Indeed, the needs of the 80%ers are different than the needs of the 20%ers, as this population is largely sedentary, doesn't have a great relationship with exercise, and may suffer from one, if not more than one, chronic disease. If fitness professionals are to truly make a difference in population health, and reach the 80% of the population that do not current engage with us, we need a different approach. In episode 38 we'll discuss that different approach with Debbie Bellenger, a long-time health and wellness executive who has over 30 years' experience in the management of fitness clubs/medical wellness centers. Our discussion will primarily focus around creating effective programs and language to attract participation from the larger population that is not typically engaging in our conventional fitness and wellness offerings. This episode is highly actionable, and Debbie provides a framework that you can listen to today, and implement tomorrow in your health club to start making a difference in the health of your members and the surrounding community. What's more, Debbie provides this framework in a way that not only makes it approachable to the public at large, but also so fitness professionals to operationalize in their day-to-day business immediately. If you're looking to transform your business and the health of your community at the same time, this conversation will help you do just that.Show Notes Page: https://www.wellnessparadoxpod.com/episode38Our Guest: Debbie Bellenger Debbie is a health and wellness executive who has over 30 years' experience in the management of fitness clubs/medical wellness centers and extensive programming experience in corporate wellness and medical wellness spaces.

Today, I dissect the essential aspects any entrepreneur or individual should do to build their brand and business with online expert Vito LaFata. Vito is someone I’ve known for 10+ years. There is no one I know that has invested more in their personal and business growth than Vito. And for that, you will greatly prosper today.

How do you build an online business if you don’t have a lot of money or a big following yet?

Stay In Touch With Shannon Shannon's Website Fit4Mom Website Facebook ACE Fitness Facebook Instagram Twitter Mentioned In The Show No Sweat by Michelle Segar, PH.D. Show Notes As always, I begin the show by asking my guest how they got into the industry of fitness. Shannon shares that “I traded an eating disorder for an exercise disorder and the rest is history.” Shannon’s expertise of her past was as a former dancer and cheerleader, and as she liked the music and the movement found in the world of group glasses, that is where she put her focus at first. After joining a mentoring program, and after not much time in the program, Shannon was soon teaching on a regular basis. She was part of the first group of fitness instructors to teach Body Pump in the United States and it was that experience that began her fast track forward within the industry. We talk about what it takes to gain the courage to move forward and up and Shannon shares that at first, it was the fact that she was naïve and didn’t realize how hard it would be. Then she believes it is about asking yourself what is the worst that could happen, and then doing your best to swim to success. Shannon also shares an important point, that when people see something in us and give us an opportunity – believe them. They would not put you in a position to soar if they didn’t believe you would be able to meet the challenge ahead. We talk about what it takes to become as fully prepared as possible and Shannon invites us to ask questions, ask questions, ask questions. Shannon reminds us that we do not need to know everything about everything. Find your love, find what you are passionate about and then do a deep dive into that area and then get help and reach out to others for their expertise when you need it. She encourages us to experiment, experience and explore all the various options within the industry. Also, understand how what you do also fits into the bigger picture of the industry in general. We both discuss how we have been sidelined by an illness or unexpected life event and the importance of cultivating a way to still keep income coming in, even in the event that you cannot show up physically. We share our thoughts on the gig economy and trading time for dollars, where many of us ask for more money and do more things, but haven’t fully thought out how do we make money without showing up? It is a discussion about not putting all of our eggs into one basket, and if we are putting all our stock into our body then what happens if that body crashes? We both agree on the importance of setting aside dedicated time, proactive time to look outside of our industry and learn about business in general. Shannon shares that her morning reading includes: Books on Productivity, Leadership and Sales & Marketing. Shannon encourages to look at what other people have done, look at their map, study their map, be inspired by their map, And also trust that yours might be on a parallel track, but it's going to diverge at some point if you're going to make it and sustain it. Use others for motivation and inspiration but at the end of the day, you will need your own GPS to create your unique path to success. Shannon invites us to reconsider our ideas about what fitness means. To drop our thoughts about what we think it has to be and embrace what people want to do and then help that plan work for them. She believes that it has got to become more individualized, more holistic, more about moving and being, versus exercise and doing. That fitness is truly a mosaic and that we have to embrace how a person weaves it together so it can fit into their life, and then create that experience for them. We wrap up the show by revisiting the idea of experiencing and experimenting. Learn by reading, learn by watching others, learn by getting out into the world and doing many things. This will help you find your own GPS and navigate your road to success.
Fitness certifications, like most other professional credentials, require fitness professionals to earn continuing education credits (CECs) to maintain the certification. There are many ways to earn CECs including online education, live workshops or attending the largest fitness education convention in the US, IDEA World. IDEA is a trade association of fitness professionals and organizes the annual World event every year in an effort to provide their members with the CECs necessary to maintain their professional credentials. This year I was speaking at the event but also took time to visit the trade show floor to catch up with some incredibly popular brands doing cools things in the fitness industry. This episode of All About Fitness is All About IDEA World 2019 and features a number of interviews with organizations promoting unique, innovative new products to help you move closer to your fitness goals.

There is so much information about nutrition, some of it based on actual research while a lot of it is just based on pure anecdotal experience. NO nutrition program will work for every person; whether you want to lose weight, gain muscle or improve performance if you are looking for the healthiest eating plan for your needs then it is important to work with a nutrition professional who can perform a proper assessment to identify your specific needs.

Who I am is not about my achievements. Who I am is what's inside. - Ingrid Marcum What I am supposed to do with my life now that I'm no longer an athlete? Please leave us a review at http://reviewourpodcast.com Join our Open Sky Fitness Podcast Facebook Group! Do the 7 Day Pal From high school and college to professional athletes, that is a question many people find them themselves asking as they adjust to the idea that athletic competition is no longer the center of their life. This week, we have multi-sport athlete, speaker, educator, strength & conditioning coach, and movement specialist, Ingrid Marcum aka The Iron Valkyrie, sharing her own experience and how she discovered her own value and confidence during the ongoing process. As Rob speaks to Ingrid about her life as an athlete, she opens up about what it was truly like to retire from athletics and start a new path in life. But it's not that easy; this is something that she is still working on and wants to help people who are facing a similar obstacle. Not only is Ingrid's experience a common sensation for athletes but we can all relate to it via other scenarios such as being new parents, being older parents who are now empty nesters, starting a new to a job, getting ready to retire, preparing to leave the military forces or any other big transition we experience in our lives. In this episode, you will learn: Ingrid's own transition to find her true identity after ending her athletic career by doing the inner work. The power of focusing on what can you do while in the midst of struggle and setbacks. How to change your negative mindset to one accepting reality and dealing with it the best that you can. Why it takes time to discover and accept who you really are as a person. How to compete at a high level and still have a blast with it while not taking yourself too seriously. The process of being happy with where you are in life right now. Breathing for Performance Contact Ingrid here with questions or to request more information on working with her Focused breathing work is often overlooked as a key to performance. I only learned about incorporating breathing techniques toward the end of my athletic career, but have found it to be extremely helpful for myself, my athletes and my clients. Most athletes and people, in general, have altered breathing mechanics that can affect them in various ways. But efficient breathing plays a role in mobility, stability, ability to focus, concentrate and deal with stress in addition to contributing to recovery and sleep! I hope you find these tips as valuable as I have in training myself and my athletes and clients! Feel free to contact me with questions or to learn more about how you can work with me - I’m available for seminars, workshops & speaking engagements as well as a limited number of direct individual movement work, either in person or online.
