To Dreaming

To Dreaming

One thing you may not know about me is that I love people and learning about them.

I love learning about their lives, their history, and their dreams.

I believe too many dreams are kept secret.

I know too many dreams are unfulfilled as they’re put off due to the demands of life until it’s too late and they’re forever unrealized.

The first step in bringing a dream to fruition, I often find, is declaring it to the universe or at least sharing it with someone. Writing it down, vocalizing it out loud and making it known.

I remember when I first dreamed of doing my first triathlon, starting my own company that helped people realize their dreams. And here we are!

So, let’s dream together today, what’s your greatest dream?

To travel somewhere?

To start a business?

To move or change careers?

There’s no right or wrong answer because it’s YOUR dream.

Big or small,

I’d be honored if you shared with me!

I can’t wait to receive your inspiration! Cheers to dreaming!

Rockstar Triathlete Steven Sabatino

Coach’s Notes: When Steve recommitted to training with me this year, he was really ready to make some changes. His commitment to really learning what was holding him back and then applying the tools I gave him has been amazing to watch.

Taking 20 minutes off his sprint race time by showing up to classes and Swim Essentials and 25 pounds lighter after a gut healing protocol and holistic nutrition program. He is now ready to start ramping it up for longer distance triathlon. Super proud of you Steve, we will continue to make improvements as long as you choose to!

Age: 55

Profession:
Culinary Instructor

Why you chose FCC to help you on your triathlon/health and wellness journey?
I heard from a friend that Erinne was one of the best coaches in Miami so I always go with the best.

What is your “A” race for this season?
70.3 Puerto Rico 2020

Please share your BIG goals:
Training with FC has given me such confidence in the sport that I love even though I have just started doing them in the last few years.

Tell me about your successes so far:
I started training again with Erinne this February and I have stayed consistent. From my sprint race in May to the sprint race in August, I have taken 20 minutes off my time total time. In one month from the Trilogy in July to Trilogy 3 in August, I cut 6 minutes off my time!

I have also been doing Erinne’s nutrition coaching since mid July and have Lost 25 pounds.

What were some of your biggest Improvements in performance for the each of the following? Swim: Bike: Run: Nutrition/Health: Please include any Personal Records and Goals achieved:

I have improved on every level of my training, taking minutes off each discipline, swim, bike and run and of course, pounds. I am still working on my nutrition and will be at my ideal weight soon as the pounds keep coming off.

Name 2 or 3 things that have made the biggest difference in your journey:

  1. With nutrition, Erinne’s gut healing guidance has made a huge impact on how I feel so much better. Also, knowing what foods to eat for my metabolic type.
  2. Of course having such great coaching, teaching and correcting my form.
  3. The support of the entire FC tribe because it is a lot easier to get goals accomplished as a team than as an individual.

What excites you the most about involved in triathlon?
Every triathlon gets me excited to see what I can do mentally and physically and puts me in a better place to improve myself and motivate the people that I work with.

What would you say to another person who was on the fence about joining our training program?

Just do it. Stop making excuses. Having a great coach and awesome teammates has elevated my skills to achieve things I thought I never could do.

Ready To Run?

Ready to Run?

With running season here, I want to share my video on running posture for your best run performance.

Running can be simple and easy if you tap into your body’s natural spring and the force of gravity as you literally just fall forward, and use your hamstrings to lift your heels up behind you,

Good posture is essential from toes to nose for life and running. 

Think about being tall but relaxed.  

Ears over shoulders.
Shoulders over hips.
Hips over knees.
Soft knees over feet 
and then
Fall forward from your ankles.
Arms bent to 90 degrees swinging front to back like pendulums, not crossing your mid-line.
Pull heels up with a relaxed ankle one at a time
and repeat – NOW you are running!

Aim for 45 footsteps in 15 seconds for optimal foot cadence or foot strike.

Check out this quick video to see it in action- https://youtu.be/kPAvzeHinTs

It’s that simple!

Are you training for the MiamiMarathon or another upcoming running race? Want to become a faster runner? want to get over a running injury?

Results

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset

Results

Results come out of hard work. These last several months have been a great example of everyone’s hard work here at Full Circle Coaching. 

I know we celebrate the podiums, PR’s (personal records) and first times but honestly showing up and crossing the finish line are just as important.
 
You cannot win every race, or even PR at every race. There will always be races that don’t go as planned, just like life. 

That’s when you know it’s time to evaluate the race and look back at the weeks leading up to it to see if you really did put in the time and focus as it takes to get better at the sport. 

You cannot “wing” triathlon! 

If you want to get better you must look at the limiters and see where you can improve and then put in the time and effort to get better.

The coaches and I are here to guide you, but YOU must do the work!

We are are here for you every step of the way and all your amazing results are why you and we continue to grow.
 
So, thank you and let’s Celebrate YOU and all your hard work!!! 

Congratulations on your commitment to succeed at triathlon at every level.

Why Some People Lose Weight Faster than Others

Why Some People Lose Weight Faster than Others

This topic can be quite frustrating for those who struggle more with weight loss, so I want to shed some light on this today. 

A lot of factors play into our weight – the genetics of our body type, our gender (yes, men tend to lose faster than women as a whole), and many other things but I want to focus on the 2 most important ones today.  The ones we have complete control over. 

1. Our metabolism.  Yes, some people are just metabolically gifted.  Others can’t seem to gain weight no matter how hard they try.  Others seem to have to kill themselves to see the scale budge. 

Both age and gender play into your metabolic rate but so does your activity level and the amount of muscle you carry.

So, do your best with your genetics and seriously focus on adding as much muscle as possible and leveraging daily activity (like walking), frequently.

2. Your stress response.  As we grow up, our stress response is cemented, and it has a lot to do with food.

Of course, things like your hormone (cortisol) levels can factor into weight loss (or lack thereof), but stress response also impacts our eating habits.

And considering people are more stressed than they’ve ever been, this is playing a huge factor in the global weight crisis. Cortisol levels affect hormones and your body is tired and wired.

People tend to overeat (comfort eaters) or under eat in response to stress, and this can have a tremendous impact on our weight.  Do you know your tendency?

Do you have ways to handle your stress and even make it work for you?

I would love to hear your thoughts and experiences with this.  Comment below and let me know how this sits with you.

And if you want my help with this, let me know that too – I’m here for ya!

I have dug myself out of an over-stressed, unhealthy place many times where I was undernourished, and I have helped hundreds learn to balance stress with food and lifestyle.  I actually include this aspect of my holistic lifestyle coaching into all my coaching training camps and retreats.

Bahamas Triathlon Retreat registration is now OPEN.  Schedule a call to learn if this retreat is right for you!

Wishing you well,
Coach Erinne Guthrie

Grab Your Blinders

Grab Your Blinders

Seriously…sometimes after scrolling through social media or checking my inbox my head feels like it’s spinning.

Today, it seems like everyone in your news feed is selling some magical product – patches, shakes, wraps, pills, you name it… – that has INCREDIBLE weight loss or performance enhancing results.

And some of them have pretty compelling testimonials. But here’s the thing you need to remember when you’re about to grab your credit card and get swept away in the hype…

There is simply no way to get around the fact that you have to train and eat well if you want to see and sustain body change.

And anyone who tells you differently because their pill inhibits fat absorption or whatever garbage either doesn’t really understand what they’re saying or they’re a liar.

That’s just the truth. And it needs to be said because people are throwing away BILLIONS every single year looking for fixes like these while obesity is a worsening epidemic.

So yeah, these things don’t work but they make people money so I don’t expect people will stop selling these kinds of things anytime soon.

I help people achieve amazing results with smart work not necessarily hard work and when they discover how simple it truly is, they stay motivated to keep the “work” up.

I hope this gives you the extra nudge to embrace doing the work for the health, wellness and performance you deserve and just putting on your blinders when you see outrageous claims.

As always, if you’re ready to do the work, comment below and let me know so we can get it done and keep the results long-term!  While you’re at it, check out the details of our Nutrition Program.

Wishing you well,
Coach Erinne Guthrie

3 Mindset Secrets to Fitness

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset

3 Mindset Secrets to longevity in Health, Wellness and Triathlon.

Too often in the realm of fitness we rely on willpower to get us to our end result.

But we all kinda know how that turns out.

We lose motivation. We discover willpower is incredibly finite. So instead, let’s look at some mindset hacks to make this whole longevity thing around health. fitness and triathlon much easier…
Here are 3 mindsets you MUST possess if you want to get and stay fit:
1. Focus on consistency over everything else. The best thing you can do is keep showing up and not quit. If I miss a day of movement, I feel it in my whole body and mind. It doesn’t mean I push hard every single day, but I do commit to movement of some sort every single day, even if that’s just a walk around the neighborhood with the family.

2. Have a long-term mindset. This means that no matter how you feel one day, what the scale says, how slow or fast your Strava or Garmin is showing your last run was, you must stay on track. This is knowing what you’re committing to around your health is forever and not just for a certain event, until you’re a certain size, or achieve a certain weight, or finish a certain race. You are in it to win it. I do think having a goal like a race can help you stay committed and create the momentum needed to get you going and keep you going.

3. Find inspiration daily. Whether it’s listening to podcasts, audible, reading, youtube videos, journaling, being an example to your spouse, partner, or kids… it doesn’t really matter. Find a way to activate inspiration for your path forward every single day.

I do this during my morning routine- After my meditation practice, looking at my vision board and reminding myself of my big dreams and keeping them in visual sight every single day, imagining what it will feel like when those dreams are realized is what keep me going.

What are your thoughts? Have you tried any of these techniques before or found something else that has worked for you?

I promise if you use these in conjunction with one another you will truly transform from the inside out.

Wishing you well,
Coach Erinne Guthrie
