Rockstar Triathlete Miguel Brizuela

Coach’s Notes: Miguel came to me with the intention of crossing the finish line in a triathlon but he achieved so much more.

I’m so excited to share about his success because his approach to the Triathlon Transformation program was just to show up and see what happened.

He used our training sessions as the gym workouts he used to go to.

He learned HOW to swim, bike and run with our video evaluations and form corrections at the training sessions.

He learned what kind of foods fueled his body best and has even been complimented on his new shape, which was a positive side effect of learning what works for him.

He also learned how to use all the fancy equipment he purchased so that the information is understandable and his training is effective.

Now, after 3 sprint triathlons under his belt and 2 more planned by the end of the year, his new goal is Ironman.

Thank you so much Miguel for your happy smile at every workout and all the enthusiasm for your new triathlon lifestyle and trusting the process.

So excited for the journey ahead!

Choose Your Hard

Choose Your Hard

Which of these ways to spend a typical evening sounds easy, and which sounds hard?

A) You could go home after work and enjoy pizza and Netflix, or
B) You could exercise and then eat a healthy dinner.

Well… Trick question, right?

You’re SUPPOSED to say that the first one sounds easier than the second one.

And, in an “immediate gratification” kind of way, you’d be right.

But we all know that there is NO EASY WAY. Every choice we make in life comes with some kind of cost.

It just comes down to what you want to sacrifice for the “easy” way.

Look, getting healthy is hard for people. I get it. You have to set new priorities and follow through on actions to support them.

That might include not eating whatever you want or doing whatever feels best right now.

It might mean learning new eating and spending habits. All can be hard.

But being unhealthy is even harder.

Over time, it brings problems that far outweigh taking it “easy” through life.

Over time, if you’re not eating right and exercising regularly, you’re more likely to have health problems like obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes.

You’ll become less able to do the things in life you enjoy. Your health care costs will steadily rise. And you’ll have missed out on all those countless opportunities to simply FEEL better, that come from healthy living.

So, it’s the “hard” path for me – health and happiness. Joining me?

I’m having a FREE facebook live event to help you learn how simple it is to choose what works. Join me for a “Nutrition Reset,” just before the holidays so you can prevent over doing it!

The Biggest Mistake you Can Make Right Now

I know what you are thinking…

It’s already October and I have not even started on my _____ (fill in the blank goal).

I’m so mad 😠 at myself!

Why didn’t I make this a priority?

Ugh, I really had all the intentions of doing XYZ but you know….

this happened………..Oh yeah and that too. And oh well, I’ll try again next year starting in January.

No, No, No! It’s not too late!!!

We have more than 10 weeks left in 2021.

You can reach so many goals in 10 weeks.

Lose weight, get faster, get stronger, do a 5k, 10k, triathlon and so much more.

Getting focused and dialing in is even more important as the holidays are coming up.

For some reason, the holidays give us the most legitimate excuse for not taking action on our goals.

Don’t let this be you!

Join me to help reach your goals in the next 10 weeks, through the holidays.

If triathlon, weight loss, and loving how you look like naked in the mirror is on your list of dreams- guess what? I’ve got you covered!

Let me help you create the confidence that you can do anything you set your mind to.

Get healthy and build your foundation for anything you desire.

Whatever it Takes

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset

Whatever it Takes

In all the time that we’ve been helping people enjoy a healthy lifestyle in triathlon we’ve learned what separates those who succeed from those who struggle or fail:

Determination.

Simply put, are you willing to do whatever it takes to take care of yourself and your health?

If you are, then nothing can stop you. But if you’re not, well… Let’s consider some of the most common deal breakers that could get in your way.

  1. I got too busy with work and family.
  2. I got sick and didn’t feel like it.
  3. I got a new significant other who takes up all my time and loves me the way I am.


It’s an endless list of “I gots” that can mess us up the most. But it’s only because we haven’t fully committed to doing whatever it takes. If we’re really willing to go to any length to train, eat right and more, then here’s how we might approach those obstacles.

We all have demands on our time. You have to commit to scheduling your workouts, shopping, meal prep, etc., and MAKE THEM A PRIORITY. Even when the kid is sick and the boss is holding you to a deadline.

We all get sick sometimes.   The key is to get back at it, as soon as possible.  As for the days when you just don’t feel like it, “well, let’s just say this: If you’re not actually sick, it’s still OK to take a day off here and there or have a cheat meal, etc.  Just don’t make a habit of it!

We all want love, but there’s  no reason you can’t manage time for yourself and time with them too.  It’s all about commitment and it helps to think about that word starting with a little “c” which means you only have to make the right choices today, realizing that’s how you build up long-term habits.

Over time, it’s those good habits that keep us from feeling overwhelmed.

One day at a time, the next best decision, day after day. That’s commitment.

Is yours strong enough?

Challenges and Setbacks Happen

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset

Challenges and Setbacks Happen

This will never change.

What can change is how you respond to them. I have been dealing with quite a few of these challenges myself and sometimes I think to myself-

“What the F?”

“Am I attracting this crap?” And I always ask WHY? But that never helps!

When I stop and look around for just one thing I can smile about, I know I can shift my energy. Also, getting out and moving in some way to release some endorphins can also help shift a negative out look on any given situation.

Sometimes it’s a butterfly that flies by, seeing my favorite Frigate bird overhead, or simply a green traffic lights all the way home (in Miami that would be considered a miracle) that can shift me.

Just being aware of the negative thought itself and choosing to repeat a meaningful mantra that is personal to you can help to break the bad habit of spiraling into negative thoughts.

I’m sure you know what I am talking about!

Things like…..

“Why does this always happen to me?”
“I always get injured!”
“When will I learn…” etc, etc, etc.

Instead, catch yourself in the moment and choosing a more positive thought can completely stop the spiral.

Say “Oops I did it again, I’m not going to go down the rabbit hole; I choose to see something positive out of this, whatever it is”!

Then, we can realize this is actually a normal part of an active busy life that we are choosing to lead.

We all have our highs and lows, and this is completely NORMAL!

The Yin/Yang symbol in the Full Circle Coaching logo reminds me that it’s all about finding the balance between the ups and downs.

Sometimes just sitting back and surrendering and breathing is the only option.

I’m reminded I’m not alone, when I hear from each and every one of you about all your amazing successes as well as your setbacks and that we are all in this together riding the waves of life and sport.

Would love to hear if there are any setbacks you’re dealing with…
Comment/hit reply and let me know.

Stop judging yourself for the up or down and just breath it in.

Say out loud “Be Here Now” and things will shift!

Namaste, The light in me sees the light in you!

Yes you can do it

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset

Yes you can do it

Self-confidence is so valuable, but it can be hard to find. So, if you sometimes doubt yourself, or if you’re going through a low-inspiration period, then let me take this opportunity to remind you of something important:

You can do it.

Really! You can do it. Whatever it is, whatever your position in life, whatever challenges you face… I BELIEVE IN YOU.

It’s so easy to get overwhelmed by stress, negativity, and the demands of kids, work, and the home. We can stumble in our daily efforts to reach our goals. Miss a training session here. Fall off the healthy-eating wagon there. And, if we’re not careful, we can start slipping in our confidence.

So, in addition to my unbridled belief in you, I want to urge you to remember this: You will succeed through consistent effort over time, during which you sometimes will fall short of your expectations or be dealt a setback. Because you are – LIKE ALL OF US – a human being. When this happens, do not despair. Learn from it, dust yourself off, and get back on the right path.

Others have done it. So can you.

I don’t just believe it. I KNOW IT.

Would love for you to reply and let me know how this sits!

Running Season; Do you really need orthotics or something else?

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Run

What’s Up Runners,

I am loving this new article sent to me by my good friend Dr. Todd Narson, a Sports Chiropractor on South Beach.  Please read it here…
https://correcttoes.wordpress.com/2012/08/17/arch-support/

Finally, I am reading something completely different and TRUE regarding what it means to have arch support. This concept is unfortunately so foreign to podiatrists, physical therapists and running store owners who immediately recommend “orthotics” or a certain type of extra bulky, super cushiony running shoe that is the exact opposite of what most runner’s need; 

STRENGTH in their feet, legs and core.

I applaud Dr. Ray McClanahan for writing this article and for explaining what true arch support is and what you are actually getting with orthotics and bulky shoes could be hurting you greatly in the long term.

Here’s a short quote from the article: “Pushing up in the open space of the foot has the significant long- term consequence of weakening of the muscles that span the open space of the arch, which are called the intrinsic muscles of the foot, as well as the numerous muscles in your lower leg which send tendons into their final insertions, many of which are in the ends of the toes.”

If you are a runner and constantly injured, in pain or just looking to get faster, strength is an essential component in your ability to get pain free and perform. You cannot skip this step without paying for it later.

Here at Full Circle Coaching we include the strength training that is a priority for your feet and entire body to allow you to achieve your running goals. One-on-one video analysis or in group setting is available as well as custom  strength training programs.

Goals Aren’t the Point

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset

Goals Aren’t the Point

We’ve always been told that success is about having a goal and reaching it.
But here’s the deal about goals.

It’s good to have them. And it’s good to pursue them. But merely reaching the goal isn’t really the point.

It’s really about the journey.

It’s the steps we take along the way that matter in the long term. We’ve gotta enjoy the process along the way in order to make lasting change.

Here’s an example:

Let’s say you want to do a triathlon in 8 weeks. You start training over an hour a day as fast and hard as you can.

After 2 weeks you are so sore you can barely move.

The alarm goes off to train again and you hit snooze and then spend a week recovering from over training.

Then you realize you have pushed so hard you are injured and are not even sure you can do the race you registered for.

You feel miserable.

The whole idea of racing makes you feel sick.

You manage to stick with it and cross the finish line, with braces over both knees and a sore shoulder but after the photos are taken, will it have been worth all the torture?

What if, instead, you set the same goal but decided to follow a reasonable plan that would encourage happy, healthy progressive training and appropriate eating habits?

You are able to fit the training into your life and you have more energy and end up losing 10 lbs. as a complete side effect of the plan.

The race gets cancelled but there is another one a few weeks later, and you know you will be even more ready for your ultimate race results.

Could you be happy with that?

Of course! In fact, you would have enjoyed your daily life more, including the establishment of those good habits. You’d have been a better mom, dad, lover, employee and still get to that same goal eventually.

All because most importantly, you’d love your new habits and feel encouraged to continue doing them.

Change is good! Embrace the process in a truly positive way.

If you need some help with this, let me know.

We happen to have a brand new program that is designed with the above in mind! Beginner to advanced athletes welcome.
