YouTube and TikTok are not the Answer

YouTube and TikTok are not the Answer

Relying on online videos simply doesn't work as a solid workout strategy.


Case in point. A few weeks ago I was on a fishing trip and went to workout in the hotel gym.


One of my dad's friends was in there working out too.


He is disciplined and does online Beach Body workouts 5 times per week. He had signed up for an 8-week online plan where he followed streaming workouts.


The problem was, he wasn't getting the feedback he needed to ensure he was doing the exercises correctly. For the vast majority of his workout, the exercises he was doing were being done with incorrect form.


I spent some time coaching him up and he was grateful because he could feel a BIG difference after I had made some corrections.


If you want to get the MOST out of your workouts you have to do things correctly.


Watching YouTube and TikTok videos for your "workout plan' doesn't work either. Just picking gimmicky workouts is a random approach and YOU CAN'T GET SPECIFIC RESULTS WITH A RANDOM APPROACH.


Honestly, the more videos you watch and people you follow the more confused you're gonna get because different gurus say different things.


Nothing beats having a live coach that knows you and will program specifically for your goals. A live coach that doesn't give you a cookie cutter program. A live coach that makes sure you are doing things right and continually getting the results you strive for.


If you are ready to invest in a program that is made for you and not the masses, then reply to this email or text me at 952-220-2448 to set up a SUCCESS SESSION. We will sit down and come up with the BEST plan for YOU based on YOUR goals, not what TikTok or YouTube decides.


Dedicated to your results,

It Takes Courage to SEE BEAUTIFUL

By Puravida Fitness • October 30, 2024
Yesterday was the 40th running of the Twin Cities Marathon - The Most Beautiful Urban Marathon in America! If you are like me, you stop everything to take it all in. Marathon Day is one of my favorite days of the year! A happy place! So much goodness packed into one perfect fall day! And yesterday was no exception! 34 years ago my friend and I were curious. What is the marathon anyway? It was hard to visualize people running 26.2 miles from the Metrodome in Minneapolis to the Capitol in St. Paul. So without the assistance of Google maps, runner tracking apps or cell phones, we headed to St. Paul to "find the marathon." We rolled down our windows, drove up the Snelling Avenue hill and listened for people cheering. Sure enough we found it!

Those Who Stay Will Become Champions

This is a sign that hung in my college football weight room. It meant a lot to me. It's what motivated me to put in extra work and ultimately become a scholarship athlete and starting offensive guard on the football team. It wasn't always like that though. My life could have been drastically different - and not for the better.
