Meet Jess.
Jess trained her body hard, by herself, in prior years. She’s a little more relaxed about training now, but still wants to be strong and feel good.
She and her body may have slightly different ideas about what true goals are these days… like a lot of us.
- Move my body
-Gain strength
-Prevent / prolong injury and aging
Sound like you? Sure sounds like me , along with most of our compass warriors here.
The rub is, even when these goals seem lighter or less; when we respect where we are when building (along with finding the right muscles and breath for the job) the AMOUNT of progress we obtain is incredible.

Fist bump to you Jess, we admire your will to hit those sticky points head on and build them back up 👊

Motivation shows itself AFTER you’ve started and can connect with the feeling .. after.
Not before.
And rarely “out of nowhere”.
Choose a better habit, try, fail, bi%ch and moan, choose it again, learn, feel better, create momentum aka motivation.
*Not in that exact order but those steps will get you to your goal faster than wishing to “be motivated”.

Beryl Kelley and Matt Wolf getting some air Saturday!!!
For anyone needing to hear this:
START SOMETHING NEW THIS WEEK.
Its time to put the excuses in the passenger seat and drive those fkkerz straight on into Navigate.
We don’t care ‘WHAT’ YOU DO. We do care how and we will show you EXACTLY what that means.

The last thing we want is to stress your possibly stressed state with intense training if that’s what you’re thinking it will be like, however, you’d be surprised how powerful it feels to be in control of not “avoiding stress” BUT being presented with it : and thennnnnn

A lot of articles and so-called health professionals, will tell you to avoid stress, or at least “lessen stress”, which.. leads to a couple things; with people already feeling lost.

People will disconnect (and I’m not talking from social media which may be a cause of plenty of peoples inner turmoil) I’m talking about they retract and hide. Freeze.
Or
They distract. Which, may feel helpful from a moment to moment basis but in the long run leads people to keep searching for distraction and they ultimately run out of things to “do” or just burn out from exhaustion. FLIGHT.

Some people are finally starting to talk about the process of not avoiding stress, and not trying to hide from stress, but meeting stress where it is and dealing with it head-on.
Of course, things like don’t go on your phone as much, stay away from a lot of the popular news stations, don’t involve yourself in unecessary conflict etc … these are things that will help you not willingly invite stress into your life but the stuff you cannot control (other peoples manners, sudden misfortunes, a workout that’s testing every piece of your patience)
This is where we practice how we HANDLE stress and discomfort and what inner state we are currently holding to be able to do just that.

ENTER WEIGHT TRAINING and PROPER MUSCLE IGNITION
These things take practice , presence and discipline. They require you to show up and be aware of what’s happening along with how you’re reacting vs responding.
Seem deep?
It is

And you never have to get THAT deep with me or any other coach. I’ll tell you though, once you start treating your training and your body with the respect it deserves, your outer world with start to mold itself around your new found enlightenment regarding who you are and what you’re capable of/ not willing to put up with.
Discipline and presence requires respect and a love for oneself.
It’s here you’ll really understand what to do or possibly not to do (without damning yourself) when stress arises because you will have a better understanding of just how honest/ loyal and willing to try you are.
And trying …. is a power move.
See you soon

Reconnect with fear.
Use it to grow and learn.
Fear is not your enemy, your opposition to it is.
