Adventure #16: The Effort Equation: Encouraging Your Mind & Body To Accept Change

You can't half ass your training sessions... then complain you're not getting anywhere.Our bodies require a real incentive to make that 'change', which is so important to understand for any #polefitness goal. I spoke with Alicia Archer on the #PoleAdventuresPodcast on the Effort Equation: Encouraging Your Mind & Body To Accept Change. As an instructor, she knows the best way to train is by combining specificity, effort, tracking and consistency. And today we'll be honing in on the effort part of the equation, or rather how to present the incentive for our bodies to change. ✨❤️Join The Adventure❤️✨ 1:18 Alicia's Pole Adventure3:10 Alicia's most embarrassing pole moment3:52 The specificity, effort, tracking & consistency method8:13 Why you need to incentivize your body10:35 The primary pillar of recovery11:28 Is it uncomfortable, or painful?13:19 How to make meaningful improvements without injuring yourself15:27 When you're really sensitive to pain…18:08 How to change motivation into discipline21:24 Dealing with comparison de-motivation25:32 A key way to reframe your negative discouragement30:33 The 'dissection' method to solve your flexibility problems31:56 The common mistakes you're making with your training progress36:58 Why it's great to be experimentalAlicia is super passionate about fitness, flexibility and movement.
