This episode is from one of our listeners as she shares her story and as an entrepreneur, I have shared in this space about my own personal journey in self care and my tendency to work more and pay less attention to myself--even as a fitness professional.We are our own worst critics--and we never work harder and more spirited than when we report to ourselves. My guest is a fellow entrepreneur and coach--Marsha Gleit -- who found her way to a better version of herself after getting burned out in the corporate world.We talk about her health scares, and what her wake up call was to pay more attention to herself, and how she frames making the small changes big habits. We often say ‘someday, I will do better’.  Marsha says --Today is your someday. Will you make it yours?Listen in for some easy manageable tips on making today that someday you desire.GUEST LINKS:Grab Marsha’s free gift here: mymoodzone.com Marsha’s website: burgeoncoaching.comSHOW WEBSITE & SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS:www.cufitness.comJoin my signature online 6 step Fit Life system Program:https://cufitness.thinkific.com/courses/functional-fitness-live-for-you-sept-2020Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/alison.h.katschkowsky?ref=bookmarksJoin my Facebook Community:  LIving your Ultimate Life through Fitness and Self Carehttps://www.facebook.com/groups/743439322342659/Check out our retreats! www.cufitnessretreats.comInstagram:  @fitstylegalTwitter:  @ahkats See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

So what really IS the best way to approach fitness and activity?If you google that, you’ll get THOUSANDS of ideas likely. And since we are in the LAST quarter of the year, you may be wondering if reaching your fitness goals is even still possible, with the holidays arriving in a little over 2 months time.So much of our energy goes to the thought around ‘we don’t have time’. What’s really beneath that is what is keeping us from working fitness and activity into our day to day lives. This episode continues my take on what ‘functional fitness’ really  means and leaves you with 4 useful thoughts to keep you moving.SHOW WEBSITE & SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS:www.cufitness.comJoin my signature online 6 step Fit Life system Program:https://cufitness.thinkific.com/courses/functional-fitness-live-for-you-sept-2020Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/alison.h.katschkowsky?ref=bookmarksJoin my Facebook Community:  LIving your Ultimate Life through Fitness and Self Carehttps://www.facebook.com/groups/743439322342659/Check out our retreats!  www.cufitnessretreats.comInstagram:  @fitstylegalTwitter:  @ahkats See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

‘Functional Fitness’ is a term that’s used a lot these days. Function IS purpose--and purpose IS what we do in our daily lives. And when we use the same moves we do in our daily lives for our fitness plans--we make it an EASY way to do us. The whole dilemma of it being ‘ too hard’ is solved.In this episode, I explain my take on what functional fitness is, how I teach it, and how it is THE answer to all you do in your own training.  I offer three tips to think about to help you solve the problem of not having time to do a workout, and sticking with it. It IS the answer to your busy, overscheduled life. And It’s what we teach.GUEST LINKS:SHOW WEBSITE & SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS:www.cufitness.comJoin my signature online 6 step Fit Life system Program:  https://cufitness.thinkific.com/courses/functional-fitness-live-for-you-sept-2020Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/alison.h.katschkowsky?ref=bookmarksJoin my Facebook Community:  LIving your Ultimate Life through Fitness and Self Carehttps://www.facebook.com/groups/743439322342659/Check out our retreats!  www.cufitnessretreats.comInstagram:  @fitstylegalTwitter:  @ahkats See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Did you know there are ‘seasons of connection’ when it comes to self care?Like the weather, seasons can signify a new start, a time to rest, a time to protect and a time to rejuvenate. How we do us is in a sense like a cycle of seasons. This episode is a closer look at a unique way of examining where your own self care is high and yet where it needs attention.My guest is Leanne Kabot, a national writer, author and speaker--and the founder of the ‘5 Seasons of Connection’. In our conversation we touch on the power of our awareness, and how our thoughts and actions drive our choices regarding self care, and some easy strategies on where you can identify what areas you should focus on.GUEST LINKS:Leanne’s website:  https://5seasonslife.com/Leanne’s Linked In Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leannekabat/Leanne’s Amazon link:   https://www.amazon.com/author/leannekabatSHOW WEBSITE & SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS:www.cufitness.comJoin my signature online 6 step Fit Life system Program:https://cufitness.thinkific.com/courses/functional-fitness-live-for-you-july-2020Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/alison.h.katschkowsky?ref=bookmarksJoin my Facebook Community:  LIving your Ultimate Life through Fitness and Self Carehttps://www.facebook.com/groups/743439322342659/Check out our retreats!  www.cufitnessretreats.comInstagram:  @fitstylegalTwitter:  @ahkats See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
