Tough Love Tuesday | Doing Something That Challenges You

Coach Caroline of the RunRX podcast offers thoughtful ideas about doing something new and how it helps you grow. You should welcome challenges that make you stronger and more fierce in navigating through life.Timestamps of big takeawaysImpact of Music on Health[00:33] One of the best methods to stave off dementia and Alzheimer's is to play an instrument since it opens up the neural connections in your brain and helps you reconnect and grow in your brain cells.Strength Training[01:03] Coach Caroline has been fascinated by strength training since she was a child. She is intrigued by how much weight her body can support and how she may progress into a stronger person. She intended to begin in her twenties but began in her forties, and today she is in her fifties, stronger than ever, and lifting weights.Training and Running[01:42] When we were in gym class, we had no idea we were learning a standard of movement. How to squat and how to execute push-ups. Every action we take adheres to a norm of activity, and there is a code of conduct for training and running.Self Disservice[03:11] While listening to a podcast, Coach Caroline came across a podcaster who had been working out before becoming pregnant and promised her followers she would resume it with her husband. She eventually missed a workout session, and her listeners inquired about her CrossFit experience, brushing off the notion that it didn't matter if she couldn't accomplish it and stating that life happens. However, she recognized that she is doing herself a disservice if she does not attempt something new.Be Coachable and Trainable[04:11] Suppose you want to run without pain. If you're considering joining the RunRX membership, you may be in pain or don't feel there is a perfect way to run. How could Coach Valerie and Coach Caroline help people who have been in pain running for years? It starts with being open to training. Becoming coachable makes it easier to learn the correct way to run.Importance of Proper Form[05:10] Learning the proper running form may be all your brain needs to reactivate and rejuvenate. Because, just like learning a new instrument or movement, we have to relearn everything we previously knew. That's a new set of synapses firing in your brain. And that can help you unleash your creativity and help you learn how to run pain-free.Rate, Review & Subscribe ReminderDon’t forget to like and subscribe to our show.
