Mindset favorites from the last couple of weeks πŸ’ͺ🏽πŸ’ͺ🏽

Time invested developing your Inner World and systems to navigate this Life is time well spent πŸ’•

More tools for your toolbox πŸ’ͺ🏽πŸ’ͺ🏽

Tools to help you work through the stuff, to get yourself to do the thing.. especially at times like these when there are many High Level Challenges in this World we live in, adding to the complexities of this Human Experience ❀️

bit wordy πŸ€”
but at least it's not a machine

*Finally figured out how to get these from Instagram to here πŸ˜…πŸ€­ I feel super strongly about not scripting them in an attempt to keep things as real & authentic as possible.. also for the same reason, and more... Including a step towards standing against the ridiculous beauty standards that women are subjected to, especially as we age.

2 minutes of real people doing fitness, in the way that is right for them, on any given day

Sometimes energy & enthusiasm is high, go hard πŸ”₯
Sometimes energy & enthusiasm is lower - adjust accordingly, live to see another day

Repeat
Repeat
Repeat

Learn to walk the path for Life, not just a 6 week challenge

Mindset favorites from the week πŸ’«

Because everything you want, is on the other side of doing the thing, for long enough to get there

What you give attention to and the thoughts you think, are significant players in the mix contributing to whether you do what needs to be done

Change the script
Change the outcomes πŸ’ͺ🏽πŸ’ͺ🏽

Content shared daily in our Instagram story to help you along the way, and to highlight great content worth exploring πŸ’«

Always tailored to suit the Individual, on the day

Lots of layers to this Human Experience that we're having - some days energy & enthusiasm are high, some days they're really not, because & all of the variables of Life that could be impacting us

Learning how to ride these waves & how to nuance your way through is essential if you want to walk the path for a Lifetime πŸ’ͺ🏽πŸ’ͺ🏽

Having the flexibility, support & guidance to approach each day as it comes, is one of the ways we aim to help you find this path ❀️

Here's another example of how a workout played out earlier this week

On the whiteboard :

AMRAP 2
16 GHD sits or 20 v-ups
4 wall walls
Max box jumps in remaining time
- 2 mins rest -
X 6

We had target times for each movement

Everyone is encouraged, supported & guided to find the level of movement & target reps that allow them to achieve the time domain goals (& therefore the stimulus of the workout)

In addition to modified rep targets we had:

- GHDs to various range targets
- V-ups - double leg, single leg alternating no assist, single leg alternating arm assist
- Hollow crunch tuck ups
- Ab mat sit up

- Wall walk - a wide range of different difficulty levels

- Box jumps
- Box step ups

We ALSO had some people segue away completely, for various reasons related to the Wall walk
- run for 90sec then box jump
- burpee for 90 sec then either box jump or step up
- 25 ab mat sit ups then bike
- alternative rounds with push ups and DB seated Z-press

Added bonus, along the way, the more you work with us, the more empowered and educated you become to be able to make these modifications yourself

We want to teach you how to do it yourself & your mental & physical energy levels ON THE DAY are important factors in the mix.

It's a collaboration not a dictatorship πŸ’ͺ🏽πŸ’ͺ🏽

We're walking the line as close as we can to Individual Personal Training in a Group Environment. The goal is to give you the tools to walk this path for Life, with or without us, no matter what challenges you may face along the way ❀️

It takes a village

No way is Coach G doing this by herself
In addition to the ongoing support from our Haven Community, Coach Troy & Coach Mush are also walking the path and helping make Haven be ❀️

Coach G, Coach Troy & Coach Mush crossed paths back in 2015 when G became obsessed with CrossFit and decided she wanted to coach it, despite having never really done it πŸ˜…
(hyperfixation mode was WELL engaged 🀭)

4 years at Les Mills Personal Training and as a Group Fitness Instructor had laid a foundation of skills that she took with her when she walked in the door at Reebok CrossFit Canterbury aka Franks Brothers just before the CrossFit Open of 2015.

Troy & Mush had already been rolling together for a few years training & both coaching so G was the new kid on the block with a lot of enthusiasm.. and a lot to learn about their training movements & style!

Troy was Head Coach, soon to be Director of Coaching, so he had the maintask of getting G up to speed...but that journey too was a team effort πŸ™πŸ½

Fast forward 4 years to 2019 and our paths went separate ways when Franks Brothers closed their doors... Another 2 years passed before Haven emerged into the world and G knew she needed some solid people in her corner that she could trust.

And 5 years later, here we are.

Lots of layers

LOTs of stories

THANKFUL that Troy & Mush are used to the way she is πŸ˜…πŸ™πŸ½πŸ™πŸ½πŸ™πŸ½

Maybe one day we'll even get a new group photo together πŸ€­πŸ˜… *that one is from a team comp we did in 2015..back when we were much higher on the Kool-Aid of it all lol

Mindset is an important piece of the puzzle that unlocks it all 🧩

Whether we do what is required,
Become who we want to be,
Achieve what we say we want..
Is determined by the actions we take and the thoughts and beliefs we hold about what's possible, what we're capable of

LOTS of layers in the mix for us all ❀️

A robust toolbox of strategies, including Mindset work, helps you put all the pieces together and shift the needle over timeπŸ†
