Private studio- Sahuarita, Az. Online, In person Strength & Nutrition Coaching What's up? Is my style challenging?

Im Jordan, a Registered Nutrition & Dietetic Technician through the Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics, a Certified Personal Trainer & Health Coach. I am not your typical trainer who uses moves and routines passed down through the ages, or whatever happens to sound good at the time. I have spent countless hours researching new techniques, routines, different movements and different philosophies which result in maximum results, and unmistakable gains to strength, conditioning, stamina, and all around mental fortitude. A quote from Dan Gable says: “After wrestling, everything else comes easy.” That may be true, but my workouts are definitely far from easy. I workout differently, and I get different results. You bet, but are you really looking for “easy”? I want to make my life better. Hopefully, that is the same reason you are reading this Bio right now. Let’s take this journey together.

Macros are important when it comes to nutrition, but there are other things we can implement WITHOUT having to count macros.

🌟 Whole Foods should always be at the front line of any eating pattern, even if we're not working towards something. While processed foods in moderation aren't the worst thing- Whole Foods typically provide more nutritional value.
🌟 Slowing down at meal time is important & many times we don't event think twice about it. When we try to multi task while eating our meals, many times our brain are disconnected to what we are putting in our mouth. We forget how to listen to hunger cues & we ultimately dont get the same satisfaction out of the meal. Take a few minutes to set aside eating your meals with no distractions.
🌟 Find ways to ADD to your meals. You can find ways to make your favorite dishes have more nutritional value. Toss an extra serving of veggies with your into your favorite dish or put an extra oz or two of protein on your favorite pasta dish. Just because you have goals, doesn't mean you have to cut out your favorite dishes.
🌟 Liquid calories are one of the easiest way to consume lots of calories with no nutritional value. While I'm not saying that these have to be cut out completely, these should be consumed in moderation. A Dr. Pepper every once in a while is good for the soul, but in moderation of course.
🌟 Breakfast has always been the most important meal of the day. Eating breakfast has not only shown to help with cognitive function & energy levels but we tend to make healthier choices throughout the day when we have consumed breakfast.

Long term success = discipline

Motivation can be a great tool to have in your pocket, but what’s really going to help you long term? Discipline.

Accessory work matters. Here are a few of my favorites to pair with my heavy lifts ⬇️

Loaded hip airplanes: helps to build up stability in the hip & ankle. Great movement to help with overall balance.

Copenhagen planks: Helps to build up the inner thigh muscles + engages the deep core.

Single leg RDL: Loads the hamstrings + glutes while working on ankle stability. Plus, single sided variations are great for working through muscle imbalances.

Single leg calf raises: Great for loading the calves while working on ankle stability + working on single leg imbalances.

What are some of your favorite accessory movements? 💪

With the New Year quickly approaching, I figured this would be a great time to chat about goals.

What do most people get wrong when they set goals? They set these BIG goals with no real plan on how to get there.
Disclaimer: I am ALL for people having big goals, big goals are awesome! But they should be implemented correctly to make sure we're successful.

When we look at goal setting, here's a tool that help us be successful: Creating a road map with micro goals. Why are micro goals so useful?
🌟 First, they can help us create a solid plan of how we're going to get from point A to point B. This will tell us the thins we are planning on working towards,
🌟 Having micro goals can be less overwhelming. Having a big goal can be scary & feel out of reach. Which means we can psych ourselves .
🌟 Micro goals can give us sparks of motivation. When we met a goal we have, the brain releases dopamine. & if you know anything about dopamine, you know our bodies absolutely LOVE this chemical. When we get this dopamine release, we naturally create motivation because the brain loves the feeling. Which, essentially pushes us to work towards the next goal.
🌟 We see higher self confidence with micro goals. Since big goals can seem unattainable we tend to naturally fall towards the mindset of not being able to achieve whatever the goal is. But, when we give ourselves little bread crumbs of success, the brain starts to believe that it can.
🌟 Micro goals can be easier to adjust if life throws us a curveball. Micro goals tend to be a little more flexible, which means if things go left field for a second, we can usually get back on track.

There is so much misinformation out there.

If we listened to it all, we would all be: taking 100 different supplements/day, drinking detox teas & avoiding any exercise that gets the heart rate because it puts to much strain on the body. ❎

But we have to remember, not everything out there is true.

I’m taking my first week off completely in the last 4.5 months. No lifts, no run, just recovery. Here are my thoughts:

❤️‍🔥 Many times I hear people say things like “oh I can’t take that long off, I’ll lose all my progress”. Wrong. You won’t.
IF you are programming your workouts correctly- pushing the weights, increasing the load correctly, not just going through the movements, taking time off like this is important. Your body sometimes needs an extended period of recovery. & crazy enough, you’ll likely come back stronger.

❤️‍🔥 Mentally always being on top of your workouts/lifts is exhausting. Towards the end of my training split, I was not only physically exhausted, but mentally. But, I’m half way through my week off & I’m truly excited to get back into it next week.

❤️‍🔥 I have never been more thankful for sleep! Sleep is an important part of recovery, but when your trying to race the sun so your not doing your long runs in 100+ degree weather, sleep can become second. It has been so nice to get a little extra sleep (+ the recovery yesssss please)

❤️‍🔥 I am all for “locking in”. If you have big goals, this is something that is necessary. However, “locking in” for too long can do more harm than good in my semi professional opinion. Balance is so important & many times we forget this.

I truthfully can’t put into words the way yesterday felt. The nervousness, the excitement, the self doubt, everything in between.

Yesterday was probably one of the hardest things I have ever done - & I am someone who usually gravitates towards doing the hard things.

The 3:30AM alarms to hit a long run before a 12 hour work day.
The amount of leg fatigue involved. I can count on one hand the amount of times my legs were not sore over the past 4 month training block.
Ditching the Saturday night fun to get a good nights sleep before a long Sunday run.
The self doubt- many times wondering what I was even working for because it felt out of reach.
Working through an IT band injury that affected both the hip & knee in the last few weeks of training.

It all felt hard. & quite honestly, out of reach. Towards the end of my training block I fully thought that everything was just going to fall apart.

But I kept showing up. I kept working. I kept digging deeper. Even when every ounce of me didn’t want to.

This truthfully was unlike anything else I have ever done. The views, the drive, the energy. Everything came together.
