53. Tom Purvis: Evolving an Exercise Practice

Living, breathing, and communicating the components of exercise is Tom Purvis’s obsession.
Tom Purvis is the owner of the Resistance Training Specialist (RTS) & ExerciseProfessional.com. His attention to detail on every component of the exercise experience, and continuum is paving the way to a completely different conversation about exercise. That conversation, is one of taking exercise out of commoditization and into a moment by moment experience.
Understanding the mechanics, tools, and human dynamics can make all the difference in training the majority of the population. (the majority of exercisers walk into gyms or programs with prior injuries or medical conditions.) This conversation goes deep into the history of exercise, and application to differentiate yourself in a flooded exercise market.
Tom specializes in mentoring and educating Exercise Professionals.
Exercise, dosed correctly, can change lives. That is not done by chance.
Enjoy.

50. Caron Adderley Upgrading Your Goal Setting Process

You know the drill.  
 
Every year you put some arbitrary goals in place.  Throw  some KPI's (key performance indicators) in the mix to measure what's going on.  Then, you make the magic happen.  You reach your goals  but you still feel the same.  Nothing's changed.  
 
Many of us go through reaching goals only to feel hollow.  
Some of us never set goals to begin with because we are scared of failing. 
 
Take the fear out of setting goals.  Set goals that you actually want to attain.  
 
I first met Caron Adderley through the Strong Coach 90 day program.  She is my mentor.
Caron surrounds herself with what she loves.  She walks the walk.  Goal setting is her super power. 
 
Caron is a Coach at the Madlab School of Fitness in Vancouver, Canada and she runs goal setting courses.
 
Your life's direction is in your hands.  Will you choose to live society's definition of fulfillment, or your own?
 
Enjoy the episode.
 
Catch up with Caron.
