Innovative Results’ Training Program Helps Manny Recover from Injury

October 18, 2017 by Jessica 5 Comments

Since starting with Innovative Results back in Fall 2014, Manny Aragon has not stopped being an inspiration. Starting as a client, Manny is now a couple months into his IR3 internship/mentoring program with Innovative Results as well.

After taking HUGE physical strides, Manny wanted to develop his mindset to not only assist during his workouts, but to help himself create an improved quality of life at work, and with his family.

For more on Manny’s fitness and improved quality of life journey, we highly recommend reading his triumphant stories from start to present!

June 24, 2016 – “I am doing something that I NEVER expected to be doing..”

April 4, 2017 – Innovative Results Kettlebell Sport Competitor, Manny Aragon Shares His Story

Now on to the present!

——

Testimonial for Innovative Results – Injury healed through training.

Name: Manny Aragon

Came to IR: Fall 2014

Joined IR Kettlebell Sport Team: Fall 2015

Earlier this year and coming off of WAKSC World Championships of Kettlebell Sport Lifting, subsequent week of Kettlebell Sport certification with 4 multiple time world champion lifters, and then an intense 3 month Kettlebell Sport snatch training program in an attempt to attain CMS (candidate master of sport) rank in Kettlebell Sport, I was feeling very strong.

It was with this feeling that I jumped headfirst into a demo obstacle course class during which I fell from the monkey bars, landed on my outstretched arm, partially tore three ligaments in my elbow and got a subcortical (crush) fracture on the back of the elbow from hyperextending upon impact. Needless to say, I completed the course after the injury (as I was very warmed up) except for the parallel bars as they require the arms to be straight- a position which felt quite bad as you can imagine.

I wasn’t thinking straight after the injury so I went straight home to get my kids (who were with me) some lunch. After lunch the arm began to swell considerably and the pain and stiffness set in. Luckily, I am a body worker by trade and work in a great sports medicine clinic- I have many resources available to me. That day, though, by the time I had gotten home and gotten my kids and myself something to eat, the clinic was closed until Monday. I thought at that point that my elbow may be dislocated, fractured, or possibly broken. I rubbed liniment into the tissue and did some myofascial work to ease the tension in the now seized up muscles.

Later that night my wife (an acupuncturist) gave me an acupuncture treatment using the orthopedic method she had been trained in by one of her mentors. All told I had 7 treatments in the first 3 weeks and one a week since then (now at 7 weeks out). X-Ray of the elbow showed no major fractures but likely a bad sprain. At 3 weeks, an MRI recommended by a colleague showed 3 partially torn ligaments (one low grade, one medium grade, one high grade) and a subcortical (crush) fracture at the articulation of the ulna with the humerous.

The recommended treatment from both my sports med docs as well as the orthopedist who was consulted was acupuncture (thank GOD I live with one). Needless to say- I was back in the gym two days after the injury- No kettlebell sport training (as I couldn’t push rapid force through the unstable injury) but I focused instead on attending the regular IR progression. I went 5-6 days a week, sometimes doing doubles (as my elbow and schedule allowed) while doing the physical requirements of the IR internship program (challenging).

The key here and I believe the fundamental reason why I have healed so quickly is that I made sure that I moved as naturally as possible within the range of motion and load range high enough to produce adaptation and drive recovery but not so much that I re-injured the joint.

This is a serious injury. I was expected to be completely off of Kettlebell Sport training for months if not an entire season. The take home message: Natural movement heals. A good diet, adequate rest, and being married to an acupuncturist don’t hurt either.

At the end of 5 weeks I began to swing a very light kettle bell to further drive healing and re learn the range of motion in the kettlebell sport snatch. I slowly increased the weight during week 5 and 6. By the middle of week 6 I snatched my full competition weight. This week, week 7, I am working with just shy of my competition weight. I will slowly increase the weight after a few weeks as my arm fully heals. I still cant fully straighten my arm or fully bend it but my range of motion is improving slowly with use during both the IR workouts as well as with the kettlebell workouts.

Thank you to the IR staff, my wife, my doctors, and to Matt who brought bone broth for me to speed the healing process. Special thanks to Aubrie for inspiring me to take this route after watching her quick recovery post shoulder dislocation earlier this year.

Join Manny and the Innovative Results Family this Saturday, October 21st for the 8th Annual International Charity Event – The One Hour Long Cycle (1HLC). This year’s event aims to raise awareness, support and donations for Walk with Sally.

Innovative Results Helped Chris Shed 20lbs and Alleviate Back Pain

September 8, 2017 by Jessica 2 Comments

ChrisCalhoonJoining a gym shouldn’t be about popularity and fads. Your fitness routine should help you grow mentally and physically, it’s a lifestyle change that will continue to support you, your goals, your health and lead you to an overall improved quality of life.

For over 10 years, Innovative Results has worked to provide our clients with the tools they need to achieve just that – An Improved Quality of Life.

Check out Chris’ Innovative Results experience!

When/Why did you start training at IR?
In late 2015, I began searching for a new way of working out and getting in shape. Until that time, I had been a member at a national ‘mega-gym’ for years, however, it wasn’t very motivating, and I wasn’t getting any results. Then one day, I stumbled upon a short introduction video on IR, and I knew immediately this was the place for me. Days later, I had my first workout with IR and my life was changed for the better.

Chris Calhoon Before
Chris prior to joining Innovative Results in December 2015.

What have you improved since you started training at IR? 
Everything – strength, flexibility, aerobic capacity. Loss of nearly 20lbs. Back pain has been dramatically reduced.

Some metrics that I have achieved: 70 feet on the versa-climber in 10 seconds, 43 push ups in 1 minute, 3 minute straight arm plank.

How has IR improved other areas of my life?
Inspired to be more active with my life, and be more active outdoors – recently, hiked to the summit of Saddleback Mountain, the highest point in Orange County.

I sleep better and the workouts help reduce stress levels.

Why do you stay committed to your improvement in and out of the gym?
In the words of Dylan Thomas, “Do not go gently into that good night – old age should burn and rave at close of day.” While I don’t think I’m old yet, IR workouts help keep me feeling young, and help keep the effects of time and age at bay.

MOVEMENT IS MEDICINE

August 29, 2017 by Jessica 3 Comments

By: Coach Dane Fernandez Dane Fernandez at Innovative Results

WHAT IS MOVEMENT

We have been living in a civilized society for thousands of years, and only up until recently have we seen a decline in of our populations physical abilities. There are few who have excelled at getting their body to its maximum ability and potential, but for the vast majority of the civilized world we have let our immediate environment take over causing physical evolutionary change.

It’s funny to think we live in a society that needs to count their steps in order to meet the suggested physical recommendations for daily exercise. Surrounding environments play a big factor in dictating a routine or habit. When living in a modern environment we feel the need to create things like the “10,000 step a day rule”. We also create modified movement facilities like weight gyms.

Jennifer Lifting with Kettlebell

As a culture we have learned that in order for us to live in the modern world we need to take part in physical activity to up keep one’s health. Gyms and sports are a means to fun physical activity in hopes of improving oneself in dimensions of speed, agility, quickness, power, and strength.

GOOD MOVEMENT vs. BAD MOVEMENT
Are we creating healthy individuals or are we taking people farther from true healthy movement? With generalized and sport specific training we are developing the bodies abilities, but are we doing it correctly and safely? Doing a gym workout is believed to replace the physical activity that we’d normally take part in if we were still living in pre-modern times. Being in a gym setting is probably not the most ideal way to express excess energy but it works with our modern society and culture.

Sport specific and generalized training are great for personal development, they provide essential skills for mind and body awareness. It takes phenomenal strength and control to perform these types of activities. We can all agree that any type of body training is going to be beneficial compared to remaining stagnant. Education, discipline, and time are a few factors when looking at developing a healthy human body.

HEALTHY MOVEMENT vs. UNHEALTHY MOVEMENT Master Coach Aaron with his daughter Hannah
When training is done correctly it can be extremely beneficial as one takes part in their daily lifestyle. The more your mind and body are trained the better they will respond when called upon. It is important to train ‘’the right way” on a daily basis.
Movement in our daily life comprises of multiple movement patterns. When we get stuck in a repetitive day-to-day routine it’s hard for most of us to practice healthy movements. Our movements become repetitive and unhealthy becoming harmful to one’s health.

Healthy movements can be tough to identify with all the misconceptions out in today’s health industry. Stick to the basics and master them, this is key. Once you’ve owned the basics only then can you start doing all the fun and cool movements and workouts.

Healthy movement starts with where the movement takes place. Moving in all three planes of motion will allow your body to be optimally trained. Movement in the Sagittal (Forward-Back/Up-Down), Frontal (Left-Right), and Transverse (Rotation)planes of motion will put a halt to the day to day routine.
Moving correctly takes time and dedication to the basics. Learning to control you body through it’s proper movement patterns becomes essential for optimal human health.

Control has to be one of the most underlooked components to a healthy body. Proper stabilization and mobilization of your body needs to be addressed before performing SAQ, Power, Strength, and Endurance activities or workouts. Capabilities and abilities improve when mobilization and stabilization are performed on a daily basis.

With mobility and stability improving you will be setting yourself up for successful training protocol and workouts. Addressing strength, power, speed, agility, quickness, endurance, and aerobic capacity will be much easier. Focusing on how to train the correct energy pathway for the given workout will be the main concern instead of correcting bad form and posture.

SMART ACTIVE RECOVERY active stretching
Performing movements and workouts will place stresses on your body’s bones, joints, and soft tissues. We’d all like to go day-to-day without any aches and pains and by starting a recovery protocol you will help ensure a healthy body. Succeeding in your workouts are very important for one’s health, but paying attention to how you treat your body after a workout has huge implementations as will.

By doing multiple active recovery techniques your body will start to notice faster adaptations to the stresses placed on it. Placing an emphasis on how your body heals and regenerates itself post exercise is an important part of a great training protocol. Emphasis can be placed on two types of recovery; active and passive recovery.

Usually many different theories arise as to how to do recovery and what methods to use. When dealing with post exercise protocol, one of the first things that should be implemented is an active decompression. This can be considered to be a short jog or locomotion technique to help circulate blood flow in the body, thus improving overall recovery. Other types of active recovery are self myofascial releases along with tissue and joint decompression stretches.

Passive recovery is something that you do without exerting any effort like a hot/cold contrast bath, epsom salt bath, and massage or physical palpation. Passive recovery is commonly mistaken as “my recovery day” which consist of lying on the couch all day doing nothing at all (this is not what we want to do). Using proper passive recovery techniques can provide insights to body awareness and healing. By adding multiple recovery disciplines into your daily workout progression you are supercharging your bodies recovery cycle thus making you a healthier individual.

Add up all the smart movement strategies and start to implement them into your daily regime. If you are still unsure about how to apply there techniques into a fitness program please don’t hesitate to visit a local “smart gym”. Make sure that they go through proper programming and recovery in their day to day progressions.

It’s time to get out there and make your own medicine out of movement.

Dane’s Story of Transformation with Innovative Results – The Fitness Playground

April 24, 2017 by Dane 6 Comments

Dane Fernandez at Innovative ResultsCoach Dane’s Story of Transformation  

by: Coach Dane Fernandez

Innovative results has been awesome since the moment I stepped through the doors. A fresh burst of positive energy by the staff and clients made me feel welcomed. Even though it was a unfamiliar environment I felt at home.

Orange County personal trainers at Innovative Results, The Orange County Fitness PlaygroundInnovative Results interested me mainly because I’ve been looking for an open floor style gym for years. After doing research for gyms in the Orange County area, Innovative Results kept coming up on my internet searches time and time again. As soon as I heard about Innovative Results I was compelled to dig deeper to find out as much information as possible. One thing that stood out to me through the website was the structure of the gym/playground. After looking through all the photos and videos I spent time reading the coaches bio’s as well as reading numerous transformation stories from their massive data base.

Dane Fernandez Its Pags MediaHaving pursued a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and being an ex-athlete, it was important for me to find a gym that I wanted to work at as well as workout in. After all the research I did, Innovative Results appealed to me and I applied for a position within the company.

Fast forward to my first encounter with the coaches and staff of Innovative Results. I was quickly impressed with what they represented as a business as well as how they expressed their individual mindsets. The ideas and philosophies these coaches were talking about facilitated my curiosity in the program. Longing to be exposed to a program whose main goal is to improve people’s quality of life, I was drawn in from the get go. During the interview and hiring process I was exposed to the operations in detail, seeing first hand hard-work and diligent focus went into making this company/ gym great. Through this process I got introduced to the IR3 Mindset, Movement, and Recovery System. Knowing that this system had tremendous benefits for my professional and personal career I stepped forward to walk out the progression.

innovative results 3 (mindset movement recovery) ebookThrough my time with Innovative Results I have been able to improve as an athlete and as a coach. Utilizing the IR3 progression my mindset has been reconditioned with positive thoughts, positive words, and positive actions. With a quick change in mindset I was able to improve in multiple disciplines in my personal and professional career.

It is through Innovative Results Movement concept that I am finding the most benefit in my life. Being an ex-athlete I have been through many injuries and have created very poor habits as a result of improper rehab and training protocols. Innovative Results addresses proper training mechanics when conducting physical movement whether it be working out at the gym or daily life tasks. I am excited to say I am reaping the physical benefits this program offers in strength, power, and aerobic capacity.

orange county personal training, ankorr, crawling, harness, gym, fitness gym, orange county fitness gym, orange county fitness playgroundEven though Innovative Results training sessions can be tough, the program offers and pays special attention to multiple corrective mobility and recovery techniques. Again, another transformation piece redefined for me through learning the IR3 system. Previously for me, recovery used to mean icing old injuries and elevating legs after a hard of training. This is all great to do and it’s encouraged, but recovery goes way deeper. By applying active stretching with joint and tissue decompression post training sessions, Innovative Results recovery protocol has taught me to practice and train body durability and resilience. This technique has proven to be a huge reason for my continued success in and out of the gym.

Innovative Results has provided me with a more complete framework for transformation. With a solid foundation to practice and teach movement effectively, I feel I am able to transform my life to the next level. Thank you Innovative Results.

Founder of Innovative Results, Aaron Guyett Opens Up About The Past, The Sale, and The Future

April 11, 2017 by IR Staff 6 Comments

Weight loss program in Orange County
One of my first clients at that apartment gym.

First off…excuse the journalistic style writing.

I want to be as open and transparent to the people I care about the most: my family, my IR team, my IR family (clients), and my community.

The Past

So many emotions.

Sadness. Excitement. Deep love. Loneliness. Anxiety. Pride. Triumph. Hope. Victory. Insanity.

I am mainly hopeful and proud, but all the other emotions surface here and there, from time to time.

Have you ever had to let something or someone go that you cared about deeply?

Innovative Results TeamI feel like I am leaving my 12 year-old-child, and the only solace, is that I am leaving her in the more than capable hands of Harrel Carman (if you haven’t already read it, go and read this article before you read any further: Still in Great Hands).

When I started Innovative Results in August of 2005, I had epic visions of success, an incredible facility, helping hundreds of people get strong, build strength in mind and body, lose weight, and feel better than they have their whole life; yet the reality is that I was only training a handful of people privately in an apartment studio gym.

There were so many naysayers, that I couldn’t have counted them if I tried.

I did not quit.

I stayed focused.

I worked my butt off.

Some weeks I would put in more than 120 hours per week to make my dreams and visions a reality.

Building Innovative Results from nothing to where it is today, was and is the hardest thing I have ever done, and that includes kettlebell sport, combat, Marine Corps training, several Commando Courses, marriage, and raising kids…now don’t get me wrong, each one of those things have been more intense at times, and demanded all of me in more than one occasion.

I am also quite certain marriage and raising kids will prove to be harder and more rewarding in the long run. I just haven’t been married or raised kids for 12 years in a row–yet.

Aaron Guyett KettlebellsDuring Innovative Results creation, growth, and development, I have experienced the highest highs and the lowest lows.

I have had relationships blossom and turn into family-like bonds that will never break.

I have also had relationships that I thought would never break, become broken, bringing tumultuous times and deep sadness.

I have had the opportunity to help thousands of people improve their quality of life, in every area of their life.

To me this is the greatest honor a person can bestow on another person–the opportunity to speak and act in their life to help them improve their physical, mental, and even spiritual being.

This honor and opportunity is what I hold most dear to my heart, and it is why I started Innovative Results in the first place.

It has been so awesome to see Innovative Results team, clients, friends, family, and community uphold this as our highest purpose and greatest passion.

I have become a part of something greater than me, and frankly, that is not what I bargained for in my visions of grandeur in the beginning.

In the beginning helping people was more about ego, fame, recognition, and authority…now it is more about, how I can lead, motivate, guide, coach, and pave the way for a legacy of improved quality of life, in every area of people’s lives, and in more people’s lives around Orange County.

That is why I have struggled over the last three and a half years with what would become of Innovative Results, when my wife and I decided we needed to move up to NorCal (specifically Auburn, Forest Hill, Cool area) to be closer to our family as they age and need our help by June of 2018. (My wife knows I need a target, otherwise it will never happen)

I did not want to let go of Innovative Results, especially after fighting so hard to bring it to where it is today.

There were moments where I wanted to quit.

There were moments where I handed off Innovative Results to others.

There were moments where Innovative Results almost went under.

In the end, I held on, and pushed, pulled, worked, fought, and kept moving forward.

The Sale

personal training, motivation, quality of life, improved quality of life, Innovative Results, Orange County Personal TrianersThe gym (ahem) Fitness Playground, is finally where it should be: no more debt, massive playground, affiliated with top educators, the best coaches in Orange County, very effective programming, and an all-around fun place to be with your friends and family…why would I give that up?

Trust me, if it were up to my ego and pride, I would keep Innovative Results, move up North, and have a competent manager send me a monthly profit check…but is that really the best situation for the team, clients, and community?

I negotiated with a few other people, and I figured this would be the route I would have to take, because nobody cared about Innovative Results purpose (improving quality of life), team, and clients…they ONLY cared about the profit.

And yes, there is profit, but if Innovative Results lost its purpose, I would much rather shut the doors, and point people to someone who cared.

In December of 2016, that person came walking through the upstairs office door, and had every quality I would have imagined to ensure Innovative Results legacy and purpose would live on…that person was Harrel Carman. He is a friend of mine for over ten years, and a client of Innovative Results since late 2009, early 2010.

He has seen the ups and downs. He knows the purpose, team, clients, and community. He wanted to continue to build, grow, develop, and nurture Innovative Results, so that it could help more people improve their quality of life in every area of their life.

I joke about this all the time, but I really feel like I found a Unicorn, or rather a Unicorn came and fed out of my hand.

After negotiating for 4 months, we came to the greatest win-win-win-win I have ever heard of in my life.

Part of these wins, will entail me helping Harrel, the team, the clients, and the community transition to our new ownership.

The Future

Casa Capri_Canyon RV_04_23_16 (1 of 1)-5I will be sticking around for the next 14 months, and I would love to have a conversation with you about anything that is on your heart and mind during this time.

After the 14 months, my wife and I will move to Northern California to a house in the hills 20 minutes from town, and 40 minutes from our family.

I will work remotely with Onnit Academy and Equinox as an educator of coaches and trainers looking to level-up their understanding with regard to Battle Ropes, Metabolic Pathways, Leadership, and Coaching. I will fly around the country and the World teaching what I love, and continuing to share my passion and purpose.

I will also be scheduling a few speaking engagements and consulting jobs where I help companies and universities build leaders of leaders.

I will serve the rest of my eight years with the Marine Corps reserve in whatever capacity they have for me, currently it is as a Operations Chief with a Combat Instructor unit down in School of Infantry-West, Camp Pendleton.

Mainly, I will take a venture even more deeply into intentional leadership as a follower of Christ, a serving husband, and a loving father.

Grand Re-opening Bash, May 13th, 11am to 4pm

Innovative Results is going to have a HUGE re-opening party May 13th, and you are all invited! Harrel and I would love to share more with you this day, and also have a blast of a time! Click the link or the picture to the left.

A Fitness Playground Story, Juan Dmitruk Shares His Heart About His Improved Quality of Life at Innovative Results

March 30, 2017 by IR Staff 2 Comments

Huntington Beach Personal Trainers, innovative results, orange county personal training, fitness training, fitness coach, high fives, fun, functionalThank you very much for the compliments I received  about being the perfect client and working hard while staying consistent.

It wouldn’t have been possible with out Innovative Results‘ – The Fitness Playground.

Back in 2008 I was training (both in the studio and the Gym) towards my Black Belt in Kempo Karate  Unfortunately due to misguided trainers at the Gym, I Herniated a disk in my lower back.

L3 & L5 with a 2.5 mm protrusion of my damaged disk.

After that incident I went around looking for different alternatives in how to get better from my Hernia with out surgery or any medical procedures , cortisone shots, etc.

I went back to the OLD GYM thinking I will get better by having a trainer in every session , followed every single instruction I was given , did what I was told every time, followed the routines perfectly but like every 3 – 5  weeks my back was again in severe pain. The pain was so bad some times that I wouldn’t be able to walk and I had to rest for 2 -3 weeks and then start all over again.

Got tired of the BS and I looked for personal trainers, out of three I visited no one really fulfilled my ideas in HOW they will help me.

I looked for CrossFit places and again visited two of them and didn’t feel the good vibe, since the trainers were absolutely A…..holes.

Finally I found Innovative Results a Fitness Playground Gym in an Industrial area, first time I visited the place I thought it was a joke… But MARK Elmasry told me just give us an opportunity and If you don’t like it we will refund your money, so I tried and I became addicted to the place and the trainers.

Orange County personal trainers at Innovative Results, The Orange County Fitness PlaygroundYou asked me to answer few questions and I feel very privileged to do so:

  1. I started training in Innovative Results back 4 years ago March 2013
  2. The reason I started with Innovative Results was because I was very tired of being injured all the times, due to bad trainers or people that didn’t care.
  3. The improvements came after 90 – 120 days. Not Feeling  any pain in my lower back  was the first positive sign.
  4. No Pain in my back made me feel incredible, I noticed something was working well, my CORE starting to feel strong again, so I increased  from 2 to 3 times a week for training.
  5. Innovative Results helped me in just about every single aspect of my life. Not feeling PAIN was the most important, but also helped me at work , just to be able to function the way I was before my injury, to move and do things with out limitations, to be HAPPY again and not afraid if would make the wrong move my back will be in pain.
  6. My suggestion for the beginners is to be patient. The results will come not in 30 days but they will. In my case it took more than 3 months and after that it hasn’t STOP.
  7. Innovative Results changed my life in all the aspects. If you are healthy you are happy and all the people around you will be touched with the same feeling. Family , friends, co-workers see the differences in you, in a POSITIVE way, that sometimes it’s very hard to explain, because you are always in a good mood, always ready to help others, full of energy, good sense and well being are just few of the many ways I feel since I joined the Innovative Results Family.
  8. I would like to tell everybody about my experience, young people, adults all ages. It is always good to start , to feel good and happy. It doesn’t matter if you can’t crawl , or keep up with the others, don’t underestimate yourself, remember just by being at Innovative Results you are winning, you are improving your health, you look and making a big change in your life and the ones around you.
  9. I stayed committed to my training because I LOVE the way I feel, because after 4 years I can squat over 180 pounds and my back is GREAT, because I can enjoy my glass of wine every night and  nobody believes I am 55 years OLD.

Reduce Stress and Increase Happiness in This Ten Minutes Per Day Habit – Improve Your Quality of Life Today!

October 6, 2016 by IR Staff 2 Comments

happyReduce Stress and Increase Happiness?
In Ten Minutes or less per day?
Sounds too good to be true, right?
This article might be long, but it will be worth the read, if you would like to experience an increase in your happiness, satisfaction, and success.
I have been partaking in a daily habit that is completely transforming the way I think about my life, my relationships, my work, and my purpose in life, and at this point, it would be selfish and wrong to not share this with the people in my life that want to experience improved quality of life. So here it goes…

Founder and Owner, Aaron Guyett with his kids.

How can you spend 2 to 10 minutes every day, and experience more happiness, satisfaction, and success, even in the midst of our busy and stressful lives?

 

First, we need to understand that thinking happy, satisfying, and successful thoughts goes against our nature. All of humanity is wired to remember and focus on the negative, and in case you think you are the exception, read these questions and ponder the answer.
Which thing can you remember faster, something a significant other in your life did that was good or bad?
busy lifestyleWhen you have performed a thousand good deeds or actions for your boss or job, why do they (or you) recall or focus on the one bad thing?
When asked a general question about the way you perform, why do you instantly think with a negative bias, and tend to find your body language, words, or thoughts to be defensive in nature?
Why do we tend to believe the World is getting more violent, oppressive, and dangerous, when every study of history depicts the opposite is in fact occurring in today’s World?
This is the way our minds were created, and without getting overly spiritual, this is what keeps us out of harms way.

The issue with this brain wiring, is that even though life is easier and safer, relative to our human history, we are more depressed, anxious, and medicated than ever before.
We don’t have to fall into this pattern, though. We can make daily choices that help us focus on all of the good stuff, and experience lives that are happier, more satisfying, and more successful, despite the social, emotional, and environmental  pressure and stress that can seem to surround us.

If we train our brains to focus on the positives and help seat these positives deep into our psycho-social rhythms, we will reap amazing quality-of-life improvements (And that is what Innovative Results is all about).
Daily movement is shown to improve us psychologically, just as much if not more than it improves us physiologically, but if our thoughts are bad, even playful movement can seem like a daunting task or difficult chore.
I challenge you, to take the 90 Day Bliss challenge:
  • Take 2 to 10 minutes everyday to partake in one of the Bliss App exercises to improve your quality of life for 90 days in a row.

From the Bliss App Page:
“Psychologists have identified a collection of exercises, or “interventions,” which have been shown to create long-lasting improvements in happiness, motivation, resilience, life-satisfaction, and a host of other positive mental traits. Bliss packages these exercises up for you in one application so that you can easily incorporate them into your life and reap all the benefits from decades of research in positive psychology.”
You can get the Bliss app on your phone (even iPhone) here: http://bliss31.com/about.php
If you are interested in some of the research behind this I suggest reading:
  • “The Happiness Advantage” by: Shawn Achor
  • Dr. Rick Hanson’s handout here: https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/fwb-media.rickhanson.net/PDFfiles/UsingYourMindToChangeYourBrain.pdf
  • And this study http://www.rickhanson.net/teaching/tgc-public-summary/
There is a lot more material proving the point, but I won’t burden you with an exhaustive bibliography.
Know that I want you to experience improved quality of life through increased happiness, satisfaction, success, and purpose in you life, and I believe you will appreciate this HUGE step in that direction!
