Discovery Your Right Dose of Exercise
Hey fam...it's Brad Tillery! Let's shift perspectives for a moment.
We often juggle so much in life... trying to fit in that perfect workout routine. Ever felt like you're falling short if you're not "giving it your all" daily? We're surrounded by "GO BIG or GO HOME" and "NO PAIN/NO GAIN" chants.
But here's the twist. What if going 'all-out' isn't the key? What if doing LESS is MORE effective?
Introducing the magic of the MINIMUM EFFECTIVE DOSE. Essentially, it's about making small, consistent changes to achieve maximum results. It's sustainable and doesn’t leave you feeling defeated.
Imagine this:
Fewer but effective workouts that truly align with your goals
Concise, potent sessions rather than long exhaustive ones
Embracing 3-4 key healthy habits that transform your life
Opting for healthy convenience foods, because let's be real, we can't always whip up a gourmet meal!
There’s a time and place for the "minimum effective dose" approach:
Overwhelmed days
Busy schedules
New beginnings or bouncing back
Post big events or recovery phases
The "right dose" varies—based on age, preferences, schedule, and more.
The goal? Fitness should empower, not drain. And YES, it can give tangible results.
Reach out to a coach to find your ideal rhythm.

The Last Supper Effect
RELATABLE STORY AHEAD!
Let’s say you decide it’s time to finally (re)start a healthy lifestyle, so you pick a date to begin. You’ve got it all planned out: You’ll work out, eat better, drink more water, go to bed early, and do all the things.
And before the big day gets here, you make sure you eat ALL your favorite foods …
Because you’re not going to be “allowed” to eat them once your new routine kicks in.
And you DO eat them.
There’s a name for that: Last Supper-ing.
And there are TWO BIG REASONS it gets in the way of your results!
FIRST, just on a practical basis, loading up on all your favorites can lead to weight gain, pushing you even farther from your goals — before you even get a chance to work on them.
But SECOND (and even more importantly), this kind of thinking helps cement an all-or-nothing attitude towards food.
That’s when you label some foods as “good” and others as “bad” — and it can make it almost impossible to stick with your routine because it’s not sustainable in the long term.
Example: what if your favorite food is pizza, and suddenly you 1) can’t have pizza and 2) don’t want to think about pizza?
The first thing you do is immediately start thinking about PIZZA, am I right?
And then you start craving it.
A better approach: finding a solution that works for you long-term and that actually INCLUDES your favorite foods (in moderation), so nothing is ever completely “off-limits.”
Getting older is a fact of life...but the way we grow older is up to us!
Getting older is a fact of life...but the way we grow older is up to us!
Too often we restrict ourselves by thinking we're "too old," but that's just a state of mind. If you can swap out the narrative...you really can transform your life.
What if we told you that better nutrition (not perfect), regular training (2x-3x per week), smart exercise programming, and valuing your own self-care could entirely transform how you age?
Visualize a life where your age isn't a boundary. Pretty cool right?
If you're prepared to rewrite your aging story...we're just a call or text message away!
