1. DRESS LIKE A PROFESSIONAL
Dressing like a professional makes you think and act like a professional. This in turn creates a positive perception in the eyes of the client and commands respect. Wear a uniform. Professionals in all fields wear uniforms. This could be color coordinated sweats, coaches shorts, quality tank tops, polo shirt with company logo, and clean exercise shoes. Avoid hats, boots, wild colors, string tanks, baggy pants, and old t-shirts.

We know that regular exercise and good diet strategies work, but there is a complex biochemistry that takes place to make the change. Altering your metabolism by manipulating diet and activity is the overall objective, but understanding how diet and exercise actually do it is the key. Understanding why and how our body changes with the influence of diet and exercise can make all the difference in the world and one can tune and sharpen it for fast, precise results.

Functional training means training your body to better perform the type of movements you use for everyday living. A functional program targets specific movements, then mimics those movements during exercise. A good program focuses on weak areas and sets specific goals. Examples would be having a tennis player lunge to a chop or a young mother squat to a twist.

Are you running your business/career or is it running you? It's interesting when I ask this question - how many of my clients indicate that they feel their business is running them. Yet the reason they began working for themselves was to take back control of what they were doing, to begin to live the life they have always wanted.

Maintenance of a balanced posture is essential for all activities, whether stationary or mobile. Our sense of body positioning begins to deteriorate as we age and become less active. The strength of our muscles and good flexibility are both directly correlated to our sense of balance. The end result of not being able to maintain our ability to balance can be significant; the potential to fall and injure ourselves. For this reason, balance training should be included as an integral part of your clients regime. Before adding exercises you should do a short assessment of your clients balance.
