Run Report: Minneapolis
I was on the road for work earlier this week at a conference in Minnneapolis. It can be a major challenge to find the time to workout while traveling, especially while exhibiting at a conference, but my favorite way to work up a sweat on the road is to go for a run. I love to explore a new city from the sidewalks, especially early in the morning when traffic is light and the air is cool, and people are just getting a start on their day. I’ve gone for runs while visiting Orlando, Las Vegas, St. Louis, Chicago, Reno, and even Segovia, Spain. So I continued the trend this week in Minneapolis.
running map from the hotel
I grabbed a map from the hotel desk with a 6.5-mile route that took me away from the city and into a residential area and park with a lake. It was small enough to carry and had a map on one side and turn-by-turn directions on the other. I thought this was fantastic until about 10 minutes into my run when I realized the map seemed to have been created by someone who’d never even walked through it before. I really wished I had my compass that I’ve just learned to use for the adventure race next month! Instead I asked another runner (who looked strikingly like Lance Armstrong) for help, and he directed me on what turned out to be a great 6-mile run. It was a perfect distance, there was a good mix of hills and flats, the weather was cooperative, and the scenery was nice. I ran through two parks and many neighborhoods. Though I usually prefer more urban sightseeing runs, this was a nice departure and felt much like running at home in Louisville.
If you decide to run while traveling, I recommend planning a little better than I did and preparing your route in advance. And always take a phone, ID, and some money with you (for safety reasons, but also handy if you get lost on foot and need a taxi!).
The reward at the end of my trek, the “cherry on top” if you will, was this Claes Oldenburg sculpture I spotted:
Spoonbridge and Cherry sculpture, Minneapolis
What's Holding You Back in Fitness Sales?
Selling health club memberships is easy!
Sales are easy - you’ve set up business as a premier fitness facility, the marketing system generates leads, members give referrals and you’re selling memberships. There’s nothing better than making sales. And yet the lowest feeling comes when sales are slow.
Whether you’re a sales newbie or a veteran, what most fitness professionals do is hold back from leveraging their presence into their sales.
As Dan Schawbel mentions in his Generation Y personal branding book Me 2.0:
Personal branding is about unearthing what is true and unique about you and letting everyone know about it.
Trouble is, for a lot of people the ramifications of that statement are scary. And in my own work, the critical piece that’s missing in health clubs is the need to connect yourself and your personal brand with your prospects and members.
Your members want the real you (both brilliant & messy) and your connection – so start leveraging your personal brand. Sales will be easy and your impact will be great. So now…. why hold back?
Change your life...
“Change the metaphors in your life and your life will change.” – Oz Swallows (1978)
This is one of those simple statements that goes so deep. For me, it is one of those thoughts that you go back and re-examine as you start to get fitter and fitter. When it comes to fitness, metaphors are remarkably important. In fact, in most things in your life that take a long time to achieve and require long term focus, metaphors can be very important.
My favorite metaphor for getting fit is, ‘This is a marathon, not a sprint’. I have run short distances (5k and less) and I have run long distances (21.1k). I understand how I approach both of these differently. I understand the differences in the frenetic, hard burst activities like running 5k and the mind set it requires, and the slow, grinding activities like running 21.1k and the mind set that requires. I have tried in past to get fit in short bursts and it didn’t work. I have since tried and succeeded at getting fit by changing the way I look at fitness. I need to remind myself though, that this is a marathon and not a sprint because I keep wanting to get fit quickly. I think everyone does. I keep pushing myself too hard and risk burning out or getting disappointed. That is how my favorite metaphor works for me. I know that if I slowly plug away at training for a marathon, I will eventually succeed in running a marathon. I know that now. I also know that if I make some small meaningful changes, work at those, master them, and then add some more small meaningful changes, I will eventually be fit.
“You don’t see something until you have the right metaphor to let you perceive it.” -Thomas Kuhn
But metaphors go much deeper than this. When I think of my recent post about imagining our bodies as houses and the current group of experts as master builders, I can clearly see just how foolish we are being, and just how little we know about getting fit in our current society.
Think about how changing your metaphors on fitness could help you get fit, this next quote is taken from this blog.
“Metaphors are important to be aware of, because they aren’t just the stuff of assigned papers in English. We often think, decide, and plan based on metaphorical assumptions of which we may not be fully aware.
One interesting link below is to a study that looked at the metaphors college students used to describe how they learned in lecture classes (Tape Recorder, Stenographer, Sponge, Reporter, etc.). The metaphors were fairly predictive of student performance, raising the issue that metaphors could constrain as well as facilitate students’ approaches to learning.”
“Teaching is the art of analogy” -Isaac Asimov
If teaching is the art of analogy, then learning is finding the right analogy for you. What analogies do you use for fitness? Are you aware of what they are? I use the analogy of building a house quite often. When I am thinking of all of the facets to fitness I find this a great analogy as there are so many parts to building a house. Planning, design, execution, hard work, you name it.
As well, what analogies do you think of with weight gain and weight loss. I often think of it as a tub with the tap on (food coming in) and the drain open (energy burned). I know this is a poor analogy, and I am working on a better one. What analogies do you use?

"It's what you learn after you know it all that counts"
I’ve been on this journey for a very long time. When I first started out, I felt so overwhelmed. I thought that I would never understand everything there was to know, that there was just too much information to seek, gather, process, and commit to memory. But I assumed that, one day, I would “get it”. I would have learned how to be healthy. I would learn everything I needed to know about what foods to eat, and how to cook them. What exercises to do and when to do them. What things to say to motivate my husband, what things to say to motivate my kids, what things to say to motivate myself.
I never woke up and thought “ok, now I know it all” The day just didn’t come. My passion for health and fitness grew and changed, and with it came a desire to learn more and more each day. I started toying with the idea of becoming a personal trainer when I lived in England. I didn’t pursue it though, because there was just so much more to learn. I wasn’t ready. I considered it again when we were living in Las Vegas. But, again, I told myself I just didn’t know enough. I had too much to figure out.
When we moved home, I finally made the decision to follow my passion, and accepted that I was always going to be learning. There is always something new out there, some idea I have never heard, an exercise I haven’t tried, a new recipe to prepare, new studies. I accepted that it’s ok to not know everything. I’ve learned a lot, and I am ready to continue learning.
The most important lesson I have learned, with the help of sparkpeople, the moms at MLW, my co-workers and my training is that this is a journey with no end. It’s not about reaching a goal weight, it’s not about fitting into size 4’s, Goals are wonderful motivators, but they are not the end of the journey.
I’ve learned that self doubt is normal, that even experts have problem areas, that we judge ourselves far more harshly than anyone else will ever judge us, and that body image does not magically change.
This is not a journey to have a perfect body- this is a journey to learn to love and appreciate my body for what it can do. I am not going to be able to completely rid myself of doubts, and I can accept that now. Because I know that the goal is not to remove all doubt, but to learn to live with it without letting it consume me. I know now that I am not going to wake up one day and just automatically feel confident and 100% pleased with how I look and feel. Changing my body image is a choice, and one that I will work on each day that I am on this journey.
Most importantly, I have learned that there is always more to learn. The goal is not to have all the answers. The goal is to keep asking questions.
