1 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 1: Hey, hey, everybody, Emily a body here. You are listening 2 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,320 Speaker 1: to five Minute Friday. I want to talk to you 3 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 1: this week about pulling out of a workout. I get 4 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: so many questions about motivation, how to get started, how 5 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 1: to show up, how to do things when you just 6 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 1: don't feel like doing them, And oftentimes. 7 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,160 Speaker 2: My tip to that is just start. 8 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: You'll be so surprised what happens when you get through 9 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: the process of putting on your sneakers or throwing on 10 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: that sports bra, putting on your leggings or your shorts 11 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: or whatever, and just begin, because that in itself is 12 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 1: a massive hurdle. But what happens on the days where 13 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: you do begin and you stick it out for those 14 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: five minutes, those ten minutes and it's just not clicking. Well, 15 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 1: that's exactly what happened to me last weekend. I got 16 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 1: back to the city from Father's Day. I spent a beautiful, 17 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:18,639 Speaker 1: beautiful evening in Connecticut with my dad, and I laced 18 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 1: up to go for my run. And as of recent 19 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: I have been doing my interval runs, which are at 20 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,320 Speaker 1: this point in my training two minutes on, two minutes off, 21 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: repeat for five rounds. I've been doing that on the treadmill, 22 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,320 Speaker 1: and week by week I've been seeing progress and getting 23 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: a little bit faster, and it feels really good. Okay, 24 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 1: but this week I decided to take it outside and 25 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: so I did my first s rep and I looked 26 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: down and it's faster than I. 27 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 2: It'ssibated. 28 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: I did my second rep and it felt hard, and 29 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: I looked down and it was faster than I. 30 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 2: It dissibated. 31 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: And so halfway through my third rep, as I felt 32 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: like the heat was getting to me, I'm running later 33 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: than I usually do, I just made the call that 34 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: I wasn't going to push through it. It didn't feel 35 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: right for me. And so in that moment, rather than 36 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: be hard on myself, rather than judge myself, I chose grace. 37 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,959 Speaker 1: I chose the concept that there's tomorrow, and most importantly, 38 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: I chose to. 39 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 2: Not get worked up about it. Listen. 40 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: That's not to say that every time something like this happens, 41 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say yes, bow out, duck out. It is 42 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:34,359 Speaker 1: the time perfect. Maybe not, but for me, in this moment, 43 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: it did feel right, and I was happy that I listened. 44 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: And the next day I got up and I put 45 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: my sneakers on and I got started, and I did 46 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 1: the workout as it was intended in its entirety, and 47 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: that's it. And then I moved forward. Right, It's not 48 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: the end of the world if you have to change 49 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: the plan. That is why so often we hear this 50 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: phrase that training plans are meant to be written in pencil. 51 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: This is a lesson that is applicable in so many ways, 52 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: so much farther than running some days, all you can 53 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: do is the best you can with what you have, 54 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: and that is enough. Even if it looked different the 55 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: day before or the week before. That is oh okay, 56 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 1: It is okay to change the plan. Listen to your gut. 57 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: I promise you'll never regret it. My prompt for you 58 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 1: this week, what is one area of your life that 59 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: you could use a pivot in and what would that 60 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: pivot look like? What is one area of your life 61 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: that you may need to have a little grace with 62 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: yourself take a little bit of a pivot and what 63 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: would that pivot entail? And now a listener question. 64 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 3: Hi, Emily, I was wondering if you could share more 65 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 3: about your life coaching certification. I know you've talked about 66 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 3: it in your stories and previously on the pod, but 67 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 3: I wanted to dive in deeper and just ask if 68 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 3: how you knew it was the right move for you. 69 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 3: I have a few different health and wellness certifications, and 70 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 3: I spent a lot of time between twenty twenty and 71 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 3: twenty twenty one working with a handful of clients, but 72 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 3: it kind of fell off my priority list after having 73 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 3: my son in August of twenty twenty one. I've absolutely 74 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 3: loved pouring my heart and my soul into my family 75 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,039 Speaker 3: and know a little bit into my day job. But 76 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 3: I just keep feeling this pull that I could be 77 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 3: and should be doing more, not only for others, but 78 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 3: also for myself. Anything you could share on the certification, 79 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 3: how you chose it, which company you went with, and 80 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 3: then mostly how you're using it today and how it 81 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 3: has affected your own life would be so so appreciated. 82 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank you for this question. It's a good one. 83 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: So I did IPACK, which is the Institute of Professional 84 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: Excellence in Coaching. It is a Certified Professional Coach certification, 85 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: and I chose to become a life coach because I 86 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 1: felt inspired in two ways, first and foremost by the 87 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 1: life coach that I'm working with I was referred to 88 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: this life coach by a friend who used her, and 89 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 1: it has been a really helped, full and super transformational 90 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: almost two years of us working together. And the second 91 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 1: reason that I chose this specific certification was that in 92 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: my experience as a journalist, especially working in the wellness 93 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: industry over the last god almost decade, I have always 94 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: made it a point to go after education that serves 95 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 1: me in creating the content that can best serve my consumer. 96 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 1: So that is exactly why I became a certified personal trainer, 97 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 1: then a certified run coach, then a Level one Precision 98 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 1: Nutrition certified coach, and now a life coach, so to speak. 99 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 1: I found that through the show You're a Hurdler you 100 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: listen to it, I was really dabbling in the self 101 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: help space and getting to a place where I was 102 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 1: coaching on career, life, family relationships, and so I felt 103 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: as though it was my responsibility to seek out the 104 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: education that I could use to speak about these topics 105 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 1: in an extremely responsible manner. Now beyond the show, where 106 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: I find myself using a lot of the skills I 107 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: learned in this program in my interviewing through open ended 108 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 1: questions and really listening and talking about feeling. I am 109 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: also using this one on one with very minimal clients 110 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: and in addition in creating the structure that I want 111 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: to use moving forward when it comes to hurdler huddles 112 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: and coaching opportunities for the community in the future. So 113 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: I think that answers all of your questions, But if 114 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: there are more questions on life coaching, I would be 115 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: more than happy to create an individual Hurdle Moment episode 116 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: to answer them.

I'm proud of you for 124 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: doing that inner inquiry and asking yourself, what is it 125 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: that I need to feel good right now? 126 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 2: It's really beautiful. 127 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: Trust your gut, go with that, and also do the research, 128 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: which is exactly the phase that you're in right now. 129 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: Make sure you're following along with Hurdle over on social 130 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: It's at Hurdle podcast, I myself am over at Emily 131 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: Abadi another hurdle conquered. 132 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 2: Catch you guys next time.
