    It Might as Well be a Horror Movie

    It Might as Well be a Horror Movie

    You want to do a triathlon.

    You join the social triathlon club.

    You show up on Day 1, fully committed, in your new fitness gear, and they tell you to swim, bike or run and you really have no clue how!

    Suddenly it feels like all eyes are on you.

    You start “swimming” or  what everyone else in the group of 200 people is doing and you slowly realize you are alone because everyone is faster than you.

    Then it’s time to bike, except you have no idea how to handle a bike and not get killed on the city streets.

    You can feel the sweat starting to build, but it’s from the sheer horror, intimidation, and embarrassment you’re experiencing – not the exercise.

    You finally get to the run and realize this is the most exercise you have done in many months but you are willing to give it a try. Everyone starts sprinting and the next thing you know, you are hobbling because you pulled a muscle.

    You leave the session totally demoralized and realize “I must not be cut out for triathlon”.

    Rather than deal with the humiliation, you just leave to never return.

    Of course, this is a slightly exaggerated story, but it is a version of a story we have heard from so many of our clients here at FULL CIRCLE COACHING.

    And that’s why we’ve worked hard to create the most supportive, warm community around.  We have coaches to teach you how to swim, bike and run safely at your own ability, help you get strong before you get injured and include a nutrition program for health and performance!

    We’ve got your back!

    Wishing you well,
    Coach Erinne Guthrie

    Unless You’re in a Body Cast

    Unless You’re in a Body Cast…

    O.K., well obviously there are other exceptions to this thing I’m going to talk about aside from being in a body cast, but I’m trying to make an important point…

    So often people convince themselves that because one part of their body is injured, has pain, or is recovering from surgery that they can’t do anything.

    Of course, you should always consult your doctor and in the case of major surgeries and the like, sure, REST + RECOVER.

    But here’s the thing…  If your knee hurts, you can still get fit by focusing on upper body and core.

    If your shoulder is injured, you can still focus on core and lower body.

    If your back hurts, there are PLENTY of options for still getting fit while taking the pressure off your spine.

    Maybe you’ve used this as an excuse before or maybe you believe it to be true that an injured body part means no exercise.

    But it doesn’t have to be that way!

    Here at FULL CIRCLE COACHING we know EXACTLY how to safely work around pain and injury so that you can still get your body healthy and fit. We have a tribe of support from @athletixrehab and amazing therapists. and chiropractors.  I myself am in the best shape of my life at almost 50 years old while dealing with an injury. It does not have to be either or, all or nothing when it comes to health and fitness.

    Has an injury or pain been holding you back? If so, I want you to reply to this message and let me know what’s going on!

    I PROMISE that in almost every case, there’s a work around. Let me give you a bit of guidance so you don’t hold yourself back any longer.

    I have had many people come to me and tell me they cannot run. And after meeting their body where it is and building up in a safe and smart way they are running strong. “Everything is figure ‘outable'” as the saying goes from one of my mentors @marieforleo.

    Coach Erinne Guthrie

    The 8 Exercises To Perform To Have The Body You Want

    The 8 Exercises To Perform To Have The Body You Want

    I’m going to be honest – there’s a lot of hype in the exercise world today.

    It almost feels like whoever can do the most creative exercises wins some kind of award.

    But the truth is…that’s not a good use of your time because it’s not going to get you the results you probably desire – a lean, defined, healthy body that enables you to perform daily life functions and that will allow you to age gracefully.

    And let me tell you – this is not about cardio and crunches!

    Today I’m removing the fluff and sharing with you the EXACT exercises you need to do to get results. There are 8 fundamentals of human movement : Squat, Lunge, Push, Pull, Rotate, Bend, Walk and Run.

    This list of exercises are all you need to perform a few times per week

    1. Deadlift
    2. Squat
    3. Lunge
    4. Chest pressing/pushups
    5. Overhead press
    6. Pull ups
    7. Rows
    8. Weighted carries

    Are you surprised by this?

    Of course, form is of the utmost importance when you weight train and the number of sets/reps/weight you use should be determined by your expert coach.

    I guarantee if these exercises are consistently incorporated into your routine you will look, feel, and move the way you want to.

    Need help with performing or programming these? That’s what I’m here for, we’ve got your back! Schedule your one on one strength session today.

    Fast Meal Ideas

    Whole Foods Hot/Cold Food Bar

    Fast Meal Ideas

    Too many times throughout my career I’ve heard about the necessity for fast foods or unhealthy food consumption because of lack of time.

    But really, I think it comes down to two things:

    1. Lack of education and simply knowing that healthy food is just as easy
    2. The willingness to choose healthier options

    So, today I want to share with you a few of my favorite breakfast, lunch, and dinner ideas that are literally JUST as fast as hitting a drive through or grabbing unhealthy options.

    BREAKFAST

    • Organic meal replacement shake with water or organic milk of your choice (doesn’t get easier than that!)
    • Pre-Made hard boiled eggs and an avocado with real sea salt

    LUNCH

    • Reheated leftovers from last night’s dinner ( I do this every day over a fresh salad)
    • Pre-fixed salad kit from the grocery store (just throw some pre-boiled eggs or pre-grilled protein on top)

    DINNER

    • Grab from a hot bar – there are so many great, healthy options! (like at Whole Foods – this is probably faster than the drive thru line!)
    • Get a rotisserie chicken and roast some veggies in the oven for 15 minutes with coconut oil and sea salt.

    Get rid of calorie-laden beverages, and you’re good to go!

    I hope you see how easy this can be! I am all about health with ease.

    Let me know which you’re going to try!

    P.S. If you need more support around your nutrition reach out now! I have a 1 month nutrition plan to help heal your gut if you have any digestive issues and to learn to eat right for your metabolic type.

    Assumptions Made About Fit People

    Assumptions Made About Fit People

    I am adamantly against making assumptions about people.  You’re probably aware that there are plenty of assumptions in society made about overweight people.  I do not agree with this.

    But there are also assumptions made about fit people.
    Some I’ve heard include:
    • You’ve always been fit so you don’t know how hard it is.
    • You love vegetables and don’t crave junk food.
    • You love working out, so it’s not a struggle for you to get it done.

    And the reality is that these things are completely untrue!
    Fit people still have to make conscious choices daily for their healthy habits, which is hard for them too!

    Fit people would rather have pizza than salad a lot of the time.
    Fit people are often unmotivated or too exhausted to exercise.
    The main difference here though is that fit people simply want the result more and they’re willing to consistently make the harder choices.

    The Dream is bigger than the sacrifice they are making to achieve it.

    Do you have a dream for your health, fitness or for racing and completing a triathlon?

    I share this message with love today and so you know that I empathize with you, no matter which side of the spectrum you’re on.  In my life, I’ve learned the importance of not making assumptions and have consciously worked to let them go.

    Do you have any assumptions you’ve let go of?  I think this is such an important topic, so please let me know what you think in the comments below.

    5 Ways to Lose Body Fat that have Nothing to do with Dieting

    5 Ways to Lose Body Fat that have Nothing to do with Dieting

    Even as a Fitness Professional, sometimes I feel my own head spinning with the amount of diet plans, supplements, coaches, and offers on the market.

    It almost seems like every Facebook friend is selling a different solution.

    So, today I want to offer you 3 ways that you can drop body fat that cost nothing and don’t require the next crazy fad diet…

    1. Speak kindly to yourself. I fully believe that our bodies become what we say they are. If you’re constantly telling yourself that you’re fat, lazy or out of control, your behavior will reflect those things, and ultimately, so will your body. Celebrate your body daily for the miracle that it is! Trillions of cells all working together at the same time doing a million different things. The human body is truly awesome. Thank you body daily.

    2. Visualize yourself creating the body and performance you dream of. In your mind’s eye, every single day see the version of you that you desire to become moving throughout your day, practicing the habits you want to commit to, and creating the body you want.

    3. Pay attention to your triggers. Notice the emotion, experiences, and/or people surrounding your choices for bad food or skipping exercise. Change the routine. Surround yourself with different people. Choose to assign different meaning or emotions to those trigger experiences.

    4. Sleep 8-10 hours a night. You burn more fat during sleep than any other time in the day. Sleep is restorative and will allow your mind and body to perform better at work and during training.

    5. Do more low effort aerobic exercise with your mouth closed only breathing through your nose. This will ensure that you are burning more fat during exercise than carbohydrates. Another simple way to be sure you are in fat burning mode is to take 180 – your age and keep your heart rate under this number while you exercise for an hour. (180 – 50 = 130, so keep your heart rate under 130 for the whole hour walking, running, cycling,
    or if you practice Yoga, try keeping your mouth closed.

    Changing patterns and habits changes outcomes. Creating change is never easy, and sustaining it for a lifetime is even harder.

    But I promise that if you incorporate these behavioral and movement pieces into your daily routine, you will begin noticing a huge difference in yourself that will also show up in how your body looks.

    What are your thoughts on this? Comment below, are you willing to try any of these?

    Walt Disney Lied 1

    I don’t know about you, but I remember very vividly growing up, one of the famous Disney songs: “When you wish upon a star Makes no difference who you are Anything your heart desires Will come to you…”

    This is partially true. I absolutely believe that we can make any of the desires of our heart turn into reality.

    But it’s missing a lyric between lines 3 and 4…

    It’s the line that talks about the ACTION needed to a bring your dreams to fruition.

    Because here’s the thing, a lot of people have dreams and desires, but they spend all of their time in the wishing, dreaming, hoping, and planning stage then, suddenly days, weeks, months and years have gone by and life is no different. They are not reaching their goals.

    Their bodies are no different (and in many cases, they’re even worse). In a triathlete’s life, they are burned out, getting slower, injured and not happy with results. Life will pass us by if we let it.

    People age without ever truly loving and feeling confident in the body they’re in or learning what it’s capable of.

    People die early deaths because they put their dreams off for too long, without asking for help, communicating on a deep level, and giving it 100% because they don’t think they deserve it.

    People put off living an exceptional, exciting, and fulfilling life until it’s no longer possible.

    Because our dreams don’t chase us, we chase them.

    But if you’re not in the chase, then those dreams will always be that distant wish and hope.

    So, is there an area in your life around which you have big hopes and dreams but have failed to act? Do you want to wake up with more energy? Have a strong, successful body that you love looking at in the mirror and can do anything you ask it to? Learn how to swim, bike, run and cross the finish line in a triathlon? Complete an Ironman Triathlon? Get on the podium? Qualify for a World Championship?

    I’d love for you to share with me by replying to this message. let’s talk about how we can get you into ACTION!

    Because your dreams don’t deserve to wait. Reply to this message and let me know you’re ready, and I’ll be in touch with you ASAP.

    I’ve got ya!
    P.S. Please share this message with someone who needs to hear it.

    Coming Home To Your Body

    Coming Home To Your Body

    There’s such a strong message in the world about what your body should look like, and it can create an unimaginable heaviness inside of us and chronic feelings about not being good enough.

    Perhaps you’ve experienced this?

    I know I have. And you might be thinking – “But you’re a fitness professional! How is that possible?”

    Oh, but it is! The pressure and the standard is very high in my industry, so believe it or not, I absolutely relate to what you might be experiencing.

    And I want to introduce this idea that brings me so much peace…

    It’s the idea of coming home to your body and to yourself.

    It’s where you honor, nourish, love, and appreciate the body you’ve been given.

    It’s where you actively and regularly identify things about yourself that you absolutely love.

    It’s where you take pride in the things you do to take care of yourself – exercise, eat well, rest…

    It’s where you become part of a community or tribe of people all working toward finding that home and feeling peace with their bodies.

    More than anything, it’s about releasing judgement, guilt, and negativity toward yourself.

    If coming home to your body is something that you think could shift your life for the better, please hit reply and let me know. I will read every message personally, and it would mean the world if you shared your experience with me.

    Wishing you well,
    Coach Erinne Guthrie

    Once You Accept This in Life, Everything Changes

    Once You Accept This in Life, Everything Changes…

    You can’t control everything that happens around you.

    But you can control you.

    You can control how you respond to things.

    And the current state of your health and body are absolutely the result of the decisions you’ve made (barring certain illnesses and conditions).

    We can blame the kids.

    We can blame work.

    We can blame the days for not having more hours in them.

    But the truth is, you’ve ended up here, in this state at this moment, as a result of your choices.

    Neutral choices do not exist.

    Every food makes you healthier or unhealthier.

    Every time you choose to lift a weight or take a step…or not…makes you healthier or unhealthier.

    When you can see everything as a CHOICE in your day, it becomes an opportunity to move closer to your goals or further away from them.

    Understanding how this adds up over time makes it easier to brace for the compound effect, for better or worse.

    So, what has been the result of the choices you’ve made for your body up to this moment?

    Are you happy with the outcome or do you wish you’d done some things differently?

    If you know you need to take action right now to change things, we are absolutely here to help.

    That’s right, we exist to help and serve those who are ready to make serious changes, and we’ll walk the road with you every step of the way.
