The Corporate Coach - Samuel K Norton

ACTIVE MOBILITY - why?
So you can pull a power pose like this one?

Obviously. Who doesn’t love a good power pose!

But there’s got to be more reasons than that, Coach?

You’d be right.

People think of mobility as how much range of motion you have, period. That’s not mobility. That’s flexibility. Like a seated forward fold hamstring stretch.

Mobility is the range you have active control over.

In the middle splits we are mainly testing abduction of the hip - the ability for me to bring my legs apart laterally, to the sides.

This requires length in the groin muscles (adductor complex) and hamstrings, but it also requires STRENGTH in the glutes, obliques, quads etc to pull the body into the position.

Hence why has got me working the active position here. If you can’t tell by the photo, this freaking hurts! My quads and ass are cramping.

Where do you wanna become more mobile? Let me see if I can help ya problem solve and figure out an exercise or two to try.

I’ve let myself go this past few years - I need to rebuild the good habits I know I need.

My client Stef came to me with the knowledge of what he needed, but found himself unable to take the action steps to build the life he wanted - he works at his laptop for endless hours in his pursuit as a writer and business person.

He felt he didn’t have, or wasn’t able to prioritise, the time to make the change he wanted. And was struggling to put the structure in place.

The biggest thing he was missing?

Accountability.

If information was all we needed to succeed, we would all have an injury free, powerful body with a six pack, a sharp mind and a fulfilled spirit.

The only thing standing between us and that is action.

Stef reached out to me.

He took action.

And in 8 weeks he has:
✅ Shifted over 5kg of fat
✅ Packed on muscle
✅ Got stronger in every lift
✅ Started to rehab an old shoulder injury
✅ Found rejuvenated energy for everything else in his life.

Be like Stef. Reach out if you need help. DM me “time for change” and I’ll take that as a sign you’re ready to get to it.

I want you to let me know, are you bringing your highest self to bear on 2022 yet?

Or are you still floundering around in the past, being an ostrich; burying your head in the sand and waiting for life to pass you by?

We’re into the second quarter of the year already. Today is day 105.

260 days are remaining in the year.

The days are long but the years are short. Life isn’t on pause! Don’t let 2022 pass you by!

Continuous education - what are you learning at the moment? Leave a comment and let me know!

For me, I’m on a continuous quest to master my mind. Delving into Carl Jungs perspective on the male psyche and trying to learn why I do what I do, and why I think and act how I do. So much to learn, so little time… So I thought I’d multi task and soak up some sun rays.

22 degrees may be cold to an Aussie but it’s warm for me!

Leave a comment below with the biggest thing you’re working on & going after right now!! 🔱 👊🏻

Stand tall. Stand proud. Be unashamedly yourself. Be willing to hold your head high and go after what you want with integrity and the desire for impact.

Because, as they say…
“Those who mind don’t matter. And those who matter don’t mind.”
