Fix Your Kettlebell Swing in Under 5 Minutes

At this point I can't even fathom how many times I have taught the kettlebell swing.

Or how many posts and videos I have made about how to do them...

But that is for good reason, because people need to constantly be reminded how to do them.

There's a lot of moving pieces in the swing from the setup, to the hike to the extension of the glutes and quads. It is understandably a complex movement...at first.

But with a few good coaching cues and focusing on the right things it it a movement people pick up on very quickly.

And hey, even if you "know how to do them" you can always do them a little more efficiently. Which is exactly why I made this video right here...

Taking On New Clients

As you will see in the Business Nugget section below I have some more time in my schedule now.

I did that for a reason...

It is to take on a few more 1:1 Online Coaching Clients.

Yes, it's July and summer gets busy, so if you're someone who "needs to wait for the right time" then this isn't for you and I'm not the right coach for you...

Because if you’re constantly waiting for the “right time” to finally get serious about your training, you’ll be waiting forever.

Life doesn’t slow down—and neither do the people who get real results. I’m looking for the ones who are ready to pull the trigger now, not someday. The ones who are done overthinking it and just want a simple, effective plan and a coach who’s in their corner.

If that’s you, let’s go. If not, all good—this isn’t for everyone.

I'm not going to ask you to "apply".

I'm not going to ask you to hop on a 45 minute sales call (🤢)

I'm not going to hide the prices from you.

Tough Business Decisions

I have been training clients Monday through Friday every single week for the past 8 years...

Now over the past 2 years I have started and grown my online business.

I have been fortunate enough grow it to the point where it is my priority, and the bigger part of the 2 businesses (in person & online).

With that, has come some very difficult decisions. I have had to pull back on my in person training to give myself more time and mental bandwidth to work on the online business and Project Bellplex.

About 7 months ago I stopped training clients on Tuesdays, I maneuvered things around and was able to move Tuesday clients to different days, and actually didn't lose any clients, just changed the day they worked with me.

However, the business has grown more and I needed to clear up another day, that day being Thursday. I knew this was the right business decision, but it took me 3 months to actually make the decision...

I've been training most of my clients for 5+ years and over half of them were at my wedding...I have a very good relationship with them and I knew this time by taking Thursdays away I was going to lose some clients, and that made me feel bad for doing that to them.

It was clear as day that this was the right business decision, that was obvious...but the personal side of things made the conversation very hard for me to pull the trigger on.

I felt like I was going to be disappointing them and that I was kicking them to the curb saying "I don't need you anymore" - which I know a lot of my people pleasers out there will be able to relate to.

Fast forward to a couple weeks ago when I finally grew and pair and had the conversation with them, they were all thrilled for me and couldn't be happier about my growth. Yes they were disappointed, but just in the situation, not in me. They want to see me succeed and want to see me doing what I love to do, so they were 100% understanding.

The 1,000lb weight was immediately lifted off my shoulders and I felt like a new man. I catastrophized this conversation 100x in my head and it ended up exactly how any sane person would imagine...people who care about me, were very happy for me.

Moral of the story...bite the bullet, have the hard conversation, make the tough decision because as soon as you do...the weight of it will be lifted off and you can finally move in the direction you are supposed to be moving.
