Is This Normal?

Does this behavior seem normal to you?

  • Workout 2 – 3 days per week, maybe more
  • Average 10,000 steps per day
  • Drink ½ your body weight in ounces of water per day
  • Eat enough protein
  • Eat veggies with each meal
  • Sleep 7 – 9 hours per night
  • Practice gratitude

Or, is this more normal?

  • Workout inconsistently or not at all
  • Spend most of the day sitting
  • Drink mostly coffee, soda (pop), and/or energy drinks
  • Eat mostly processed foods
  • Watch 2 – 4 hours of TV per day
  • Sleep poorly
  • High stress
  • Live with anger, fear, and/or frustration

Well, actually they’re BOTH normal…

Normal is defined as “the usual, average, or typical state or condition.”

For some people, the first scenario is normal to them. For many others, the second is how they live day to day.

For either, they’d say the other is abnormal.

Make sense?

OK. Now, why is this important or relevant?

Because RESULTS are based on BEHAVIORS.

Cause and Effect.

If you want a result that you’re currently not getting, you simply (not easily) have to make the behaviors that yield that result your new “normal”…

How do you do that?

  1. Identify the habits that yield the results you want. To do this, you can seek out people who have/are achieving that result.
  2. Adopt one new habit at a time – this will generally work better than changing everything all at once for most people, especially in the long run.
  3. Find a way to stay accountable – do it with a buddy, hire a coach, join a program
  4. PRACTICE
  5. HAVE COMPASSION WHEN YOU “SLIP”
  6. GET BACK ON THE WAGON
  7. REPEAT STEPS 4 – 7

In time, those habits will become your new normal and you will naturally achieve the results you desire…

Will you sometimes do abnormal (what used to be normal) things that go “against” your goal?

Of course!

Only those times they’ll feel totally abnormal to you and getting back to normal will be easier and feel so much better.:-)

I have been working with Marc for almost two years. He has been extremely effective in reducing neurogenic pain in my hips and knees. In addition, he has worked on my balance and overall strength which was in serious need of attention. Marc is very responsive to designing exercise strategies to meet **your** specific goals and needs. I highly recommend Marc if you are looking for an exercise physiologist or trainer.

After many tried and failed programs either online or in a public gym or CG, I finally have a program I have stuck w consistantly for over a year. At the year mark, I even decided that I loved going to UPT so much, I upped my sessions from 2x to 3x a week. Now, I am sad if I miss a session. My pain is gone. I was a chronic pain patient for over 10 years with various issues causing said pain. Marc's knowledge of how muscles work and how to guide them back to their proper place is pretty cool. When he asks how your body is feeling, he expects you to tell him if something is off so he can help and prevent further injury. Plus... he tells corny dad jokes.
