Not Getting Results? This Is Most Likely Why.

Today’s post is a guest post by my Poliquin colleague Francine Savard of ProActif Fitness. Francine is a Canadian strength coach (among many other things), and her specialty is helping get women lean and ready for fitness comps! She is one of the world’s most highly acclaimed in this tricky area.
One of the most overlooked problems when it comes to weight loss is sleep deprivation or poor sleep. Rest is also often overlooked by some coaches and athletes as well;  you need to rest in order to recover in order to perform and this can impact all aspects of your life.
So, if you feel like you are pretty much doing everything right when it comes to your nutrition and your training (and even if you’re not!), and yet you’re still not meeting your health and fat loss goals, here are a few quick tips to blast you through those plateaus.

sleep your way to success!

  1. Try keeping a steady schedule when it comes time to go to bed
  2. A warm epsom salt bath (high in natural magnesium) is useful before bed, as is lavender scent, meditation and/or a good massage
  3. Don’t excite your neurotransmitters before going to bed; as in don’t watch a horror movie (or the news!)
  4. Don’t take long naps as these could disrupt your sleep cycle disruption (sleeping at the computer may be tempting sometimes but it’s definitely not the solution!)
  5. Try a casein shake (go to Tonic Superfoods and enter your discount code ‘bodyincredible’) with some real vanilla extract to calm your sympathetic nervous system and facilitate your serotonin production
  6. Get rid of bad electricity; unplug your cell phone, clocks, or other electronics.  Sleep in the dark – pitch dark!
  7. Exercise! Ideally not too late at night or else you will remain more alert instead of winding down
  8. No coffee, chocolate, nicotine as they can keep you awake.  Alcohol can make it appear as you unwind but it actually interrupts sleep
  9. Get sexy people! Just do it! Having sex will help you release natural hormones, releases muscle tension and boost your well-being

How It’s Going Down and Why I Created This For You!

I want to do the exact work with you that I myself do on repeat,

day in and day out,

to continually and AUTOMATICALLY uplevel,

create everything I see inside of me in my business and life,

by allowing it through!

And, also, the ‘most favourite’ work I come back to again and again with my private clients.

Do you know what I am EXTRA excited for, in doing this program with you?

This work is also the most FUN work I do! It’s like being a kid in a candy store … or in an art room … and just knowing – ‘wow! I get to choose! I LITERALLY GET TO MAKE IT UP AND THEN IT HAPPENS!’

Can you imagine?

DO you?

And do you create and allow your life to unfold from that place already?

You literally get to make it up and then it happens!

Pssst … whatever you think you’re ‘making up’?? Is actually just soul TELLING you what’s up. And then you choosing it!

Even if you already live and play life this way,

there’s always another level,

always new depths to go to,

always more YES to claim!

And the things you think are SO far away,

are only as far as you let ’em be!

Join me in my BRAND NEW Dream Life Creation course today, and let’s spend the next 30 days together getting YOUR dream biz and life shit together, as you decide the outcomes you’ve been waiting to create and see massive results NOW … all by saying yes to what you already freakin’ KNOW, and drawing the line only where you want it to be!

Your excuses?

No longer motherfucking valid.

And never were 😉

I’m so excited to welcome you into my BRAND new 30 day course Dream Life Creation!

It’s about time we got you all in on doin’ the whole create what’s in you thing.

The line is mofo ready for you to raise it.

Let me show you how,

and then ever so kindly kick your sweet lovin’ behind to do so.

Namafuckingste.
