Social Support can be a key factor in our success or failure in working towards our goals, especially for those who are new to fitness or feel self-conscious about their bodies or their movement patterns and those who struggle to maintain willpower on their own. In this episode, I review Precision Nutrition's Social Support Questionnaire - a key intake form required of all CC Strength & Nutrition clients. The questionnaire allows a client to reflect on an aspect of self-improvement that is often overlooked - how our loved ones influence our willingness to change and can be our greatest cheerleaders or pose challenges for us in our fitness journey.
In this episode of No Spring Chicken, Chrissy Cox, Certified Personal Trainer & Nutrition Coach, discusses a few of her favorite at-home exercises that require minimum equipment and financial investment. Alternative equipment is often overlooked as an important part of a strength training program, especially for beginners or older adults. At-home workouts do not have to be cookie-cutter, boring workouts. By mixing and matching alternative types of equipment with full-body movements, you can build your lean mass, lower your body fat, and improve your cardiovascular health. Episode 4 also briefly discusses the importance of protein and amino acid supplementation for maximum results.
