8 Reasons to Exercise that are not fat loss.
We asked a bunch of clients who had a regular workout routine WHY they exercised.
A lot of these people had been working out for decades.
Their answer...The mood and mental health benefits!
There is REAL science to back that up. We usually associate conditioning with lifting your spirits, but it turns out strength training is also a MAJOR mood and mental health booster.
Studies show that strength training can help with:
Less anxiety
Lower depression
Sharper thinking
Better memory
More energy & less chronic fatigue
Better sleep
More confidence and self-esteem
Plus an even longer list of physical health benefits
Still, if you’ve never tried strength training before, getting started can seem a little intimidating.
That’s why in our customized personal training programs we individualize a training plan that meets you right where you are.
It’s the perfect way to feel and look better... even if you are busy with work and family! Got questions? Reach out and let's start the conversation! 979-575-7871 or click the link in the bio or link below.
Customized Personal Training…JUst for you
Let us know if this sounds familiar to you...
You tried working out in a large boot camp or group…but you got the impression you were annoying the trainer and slowing the group down.
At BCS Fitness, we LOVE the fact that clients are doing different exercises…because no two clients are the same! That is why we sit down with each client one on one first to design a customized personal training program just for them.
If you are tired of feeling lost, out of place, embarrassed, or frustrated trying to work around the uniqueness you need, click on the bio link and let’s connect. You can also reach out via call/text to 979-575-7871.
How to Silence Your Inner Critic
Ready for a reframe that will totally change your ability to get through roadblocks?
Your mindset and your thoughts are NOT the same thing.
Once you realize this — and I mean really FEEL it in your gut — it can make it a lot easier to rise to the challenge of your goals (and maybe even add a fun factor).
Because while you don’t have a lot of control over your thoughts, you DO have control over your mindset, which means you can harness it to help you.
Here’s what we mean:
Your thoughts are like random “blips” that run through your mind. Thoughts sound like, Do I have to stop for gas on my way to work tomorrow? It’s hot in here. We’re out of eggs. Is there water in the dog bowl? Wow, look at how blue the sky is today!
Your mindset is an attitude, a frame of mind, a belief. This sounds more like, I can do challenging tasks, and if I don’t have all the skills I need, I’ll learn them.
As you might imagine, your mindset influences your thoughts. If it’s positive, you probably have more positive thoughts.
And — even better — when you have a growth mindset, you believe that skills and abilities are something you can learn and get better at over time.
Here are 3 things you can do to help develop a growth mindset:
Try something new or hard and practice it for a few weeks.
Don’t look at the things you did “wrong” — focus on the new skills learned and your improvements over time. Be patient with yourself, just like you’d be with a child learning a new skill.
Get support.
There’s nothing like a pep talk (or a friendly drill sergeant!) to motivate you to keep trying. Struggling to learn a new skill? Hiring a coach can be a big help!
Become a detective.
When things don’t go well (it happens to everyone!), instead of beating yourself up for it, investigate what happened: detach your emotions, figure out why, come up with another approach or solution, and try, try, again!
Need some help here? Reaching out to one of your coaches is a GREAT option to help develop a growth mindset.
Often we are too close to our situation to see the big picture. Your coach can help you step back and pinpoint the best actions that work with your goals, your lifestyle, your current bandwidth, and your schedule.
Make it an amazing day!

Workouts for 55+
Does this sound like you?
You’ve tried working out in a large boot camp…but all the jumping and bouncing around isn't very fun on your joints.
You’ve tried things like pilates and yoga…but you know you need more strength work and some type of age-appropriate cardio/conditioning to help your cardiovascular system.
At BCS Fitness, we LOVE getting to work with folks 55+! We understand that no two clients are the same and the needs a client who is 25 is very different than someone who is 55+! This is exactly why we do not offer large-group fitness solutions.
