The Importance of Partnerships – Survival Stories and Your Fitness Training at The Orange County Fitness Playground

December 29, 2015 by IR Staff Leave a Comment

Partnership, friends, and social support is just as powerful as a warm home when we venture forward into any challenge that transforms us. This is true in the challenges of survival situations, as well as when you’re challenged in your fitness training at Innovative Results fitness gym – The Orange County Fitness Playground.

I will prove the importance of partnerships by telling you the story of how I survived 24 hours in a snow-dwelling, with the most important thing I possessed–my moto-buddy (short for motivational buddy).USMC MWTC Patch

The Marine Corps orders every Marine to have a “battle buddy,” which is a safety precaution for survival, getting lost, and making better choices.

My battle buddy, soon became my moto-buddy, when our adventure in Bridgeport’s Mountain Warfare Training Center (MWTC), turned into a death-dealing survival challenge in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, during the depth of winter.

Imagine spending all day hiking up and down steep mountains in a driving blizzard conditions, getting a quick bite to eat, and then not being able to warm yourself by a heater or fireplace in a cozy home.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

This is what my friend Josh and I were dealing with, during Scout Skiers course in the famous (or infamous) MWTC, depending on which Marine you ask.

Difficult training became seemingly impossible, when the instructors told us we must stay in a snow-dwelling that we build for 24 hours, which includes the time you are building your new home. This was a pass/fail event, and I am against quitting, so I decided I would not succumb to the seductive hike out to the instructors warm, stove-filled tent (I just hope hypothermia didn’t make my promise of passing a failure).

Marines Patrol in Bridgeport MWTCI remember my moto-buddy, Josh, telling me to keep moving, and stay in it, while we were shaping our shoddy, camo-tarp covered snow hole.

When we were finished, I was wiped, and extremely unimpressed with what was supposed to keep us warm through the night, and it only got colder when the sun went down.

The first few hours we chatted until our teeth chattered, and then as we periodically fell asleep and awoke, the cold seeped deeply into our brains, our limbs were already numb with cold.

I looked up, and my moto-buddy Josh was miserable. He looked like death-warmed-over, and I knew it was my turn to light a fire in his heart and mind.

I told him, it could be worse…we could be outside in this freezing snow-filled place, at least our dwelling provided a few degrees of warmth, and kept the wind and snow off of our necks.

He talked seriously of quitting or dying, and I affirmed to him that we were a long way from both.

Brideport TrainingIf it wasn’t for us becoming more than just battle buddies, but becoming moto-buddies, we would not have past that extremely challenging adventure, and today we are both transformed because of it.

We have deeper-reaching staying power, enduring mental toughness, and penchant for warm, comfortable houses.

It is the same with any challenge we face–we MUST HAVE A PARTNER!

Partnerships, Friendships, Moto-buddies, and our Social Structure can do more than encourage us while times are good.

When challenges become challenging, our moto-buddies in life pull us out of despair and keep us moving in the right direction, the direction we would choose if we only it wasn’t so challenging or difficult in the present moment.

The importance of partnerships is revealed during the challenges of life.

To this day, my friend Josh and I still call each other, moto-buddies!

It is no different this New Year as you pledge to become a better version of yourself, whether physically, financially, or morally.

The fitness coaches at Innovative Results, The Orange County Fitness Playground, use this same mindset, motivation, and support to help you conquer your fitness goals.

We know it is best if you have a friend to be your partner or moto-buddy, and whether this partner is at our fitness gym or not, our coaches will always step-up to that call, with an encouraging word, motivational story, or inspirational example.

We want you to feel the victory of every workout and fitness training session, so we work hard to bring our very best to you each day!

Tweak your morning routine to make your day healthier, happier and overall more fun!

Don’t Hit Snooze: No matter how tempting, or cozy your bed, resist the snooze button. Multiple “snoozes” will actually make you more tired and delay your positive mindset for the day ahead.

Get in a Sweat Sesh: Morning workouts can help boost your energy (and metabolism) through the day.

Breathe: Before you jump into the hustle and bustle, take a moment to breathe – A couple deep breaths will help you feel more balanced and ready to start the day of right (Check out these 11 Breathing Techniques to help relax your body, calm your mind and reduce stress).active stretching

Stretch: Sleeping can lead to stiffness, so take a moment to stretch out those kinks.

Or Do Yoga: Even a 10 minute series will boost happiness and release muscle and joint tightness before you start your day. Looking for a great Active Stretching series? Check out IR’s New Active Stretching class at 7:30am every Tuesday and Thursday.

Drink Coffee: Careful not to overindulge, but a good Cup O’ Joe in the morning can improve memory, help muscle pain, keep you regular, and increase endurance.

But Skip the Sugar: Added sugars can increase belly fat, and actually harm your immune system.

Have Everything Ready: Making getting out the door a hassle-free breeze. Pack your purse, gym bag or briefcase the night before.

Bring Your Lunch: A great way to save on money and calories, prep your meal and bring a lunch to work.

Drink Water: Keep your mind clear, skin feeling fresh and even boost your metabolism by staying hydrated all day.

Listen to Music: Playing your favorite tracks while you get ready can have you energized and excited to greet the day ahead. Plus your super sweet dance moves will have you burning calories.noel jimenez Aaron Love Aaron Guyett Lieberman

Eat a Balance Breakfast: Start your day off with a nutrient-filled breakfast and you’ll be more likely to maintain that healthy eating all day/

Focus on Fruits and Veggies: Clean eating can help naturally detox and re-energize your body.

Sip Smartly: Enjoying a smoothie or green juice can be super refreshing, but be smart. Many of those pre-made juices can be full of added sugars and calories. Try your own recipe!

Boost your Immunity: If you’re feeling under the weather, load up on some extra vitamins and minerals! Try a TraceMinerals PowerPak for that extra boost of Vitamin C.

Make Your Bed: It may seem like a waste of time, but taking a minute to tidy up your bed will make you’re home feel more welcoming. Not too mention make your bed much more inviting after an amazingly productive day.

Wait to Sign Online: Give yourself time before checking your email, especially social media. That is the last thing you need to add stress to your morning.new-years-resolutions-tips

Make a To-Do List: If you’ve got a lot on your plate, or you just want to make sure to designate some “me-time”, write it all down. A to-do list will help you feel organized and accomplished.

Don’t Freak Out: Remember, even the most busy and stress-filled days will come to an end.

Give Yourself Some Love: Positive Affirmation time! Look in the mirror and remind yourself that you are smart, talented, and gorgeous!

Next One, Best One!

Keys To Living Your BEST LIFE – A Real Life, True Story From Owner of Innovative Results

August 10, 2015 by Jessica Leave a Comment

By Aaron GuyettIMG_20150701_194013

We are free to make whatever choices we decide, but we are not free from their consequences.

It is our choices that hold the keys to our best life.

Whether it is faith, love, fitness, or feelings, we have much more choice than we think.

Sure there are a lot of things we don’t control, like weather, how other people see us, geo-political climate, and what other people decide, but we control our choice.

That is one of the greatest powers we own, but there are many of us, that have chosen to be the victim.

They have decided to blame the things that happen to them, the way they feel, their lot in life on everybody and everything that happens to them, instead of doing the hard yet rewarding work of taking responsibility for their thoughts, actions, words, and choices.

This is why Innovative Results – The Orange County Fitness Playground – has adopted the “Next one, best one.” Mantra.

We understand that if we make the best choices we can with what we are given, and deliver our very best in each of those choices, they will turn into our best skills, and those skills will turn into our best habits, and those habits will become our best character, improving our quality of life.

Best Choicesblog-consequences
Become
Best Skills,
Which become
Best Habits,
Which become
Best Character,
Which becomes
Your Life.

Once I understood this concept, I began to see it everywhere in my life.

I see it in all of my relationships.
I see it at work.
I see it in my marriage.
I see it in my family.
I see it in my community

Most of the time, people are looking to blame their misfortune on others or on things out of their control, yet they have no problem staking claim to any bit of success they experience.

Do you see the flaw in the formula?

There is a fundamental flaw in the formula that states everything bad is not my fault, but everything good is all me!

The flaw is a lack of responsibility for the consequences of one’s choices.

Let’s look at marriage.IMG_20141127_124946

When I was dating my wife, there was fireworks! Everything was AWESOME!! (Que the Lego Movie theme song)

For the first few years together, we could do no wrong, but when the romance wore off, I noticed every white spot on the mirror, missing sock in my drawer, and all the other issues I was blind to because of romantic love.

When romance wears off, do we blame the other person or the situation or the things in our lives for the love that is slipping away? (I have done this and I know many of you have done this as well)

But the hard truth is… No.

It isn’t her fault, any more than it is the white speck on the mirror’s fault.

If I want to experience love, I MUST CHOOSE LOVE!

If you want to experience anything worthwhile you must choose it!

Love is a Choice.keep-calm-you-get-what-you-give
Beliefs about people are a Choice.
Beliefs, period, are a Choice.
Faith is a Choice.
Patience is a Choice.
Hard Work is a Choice.
Focus is a Choice.
Health is a Choice.
Fitness is a Choice.
We Decide.

Either I choose love, or I decide to not choose love—every day.

Anything worthwhile will come with a difficult choices, and a very REWARDING CONSEQUENCE.

After choosing something like love after the romance wears off, there are things we must believe, do, think, and have faith in, in order for it to work.

To build the character of a loving husband, I am going to have to proceed with effort and discipline:

• I am going to have to focus on my wife, and meet her needs emotionally and physically.
• I am going to have to believe the best about her in all that she is saying and doing.
• I am going to need faith that she will reciprocate this love on some level or another.
• I am going to need patience when she does not meet my expectations (communicated or not).
• I am going to have to work hard, and even fight for our love and marriage when times get tough.
• I am going to need to be healthy, fit, and clean for her, as a sign of respect and physical love.
• I am going to need to do all of this consistently and intentionally, so she trusts me.

 

When all of the above is done well, we call that diligence toward love.

The awesome part is that we can do this in any area of our life.

Fitness, Health, Nutrition, Business, Finances, Emotions, Relationships, Faith, Love or Beliefs.

We have more power than most of us choose.
**Be Warned: Once you choose to take responsibility for your choices you may experience happiness, contentment, success, and all other consequences that come with your choices.

Again, Here are the keys to living your BEST LIFE:

• What are you choosing today for your best life?
• What do you need to focus on for your best life?
• What beliefs do you need to have your best life?
• What do you need to have faith in for your best life?
• What do you need to work hard at in order to realize your best life?
• What do you need to have patience with in order to realize your best life?

free2choose

Now diligently pursue your best life every day in every way that you have given yourself the power to do by answering the above questions.

Your diligent hard work, focused intensity, and patient endurance will be rewarded.

Next one, best one!

Innovative Results Takes on The Coast Just in Time for Earth Day

April 17, 2012 by ptpt Leave a Comment

Innovative Results selects Orange County Coastkeeper as Non-Profit #4 in April’s City Transformation Challenge

 

Orange County Coastkeeper is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to protect and preserve the region’s marine habitats and watersheds through education, advocacy, restoration, research and enforcement.

Their vision is to preserve the integrity of our community by ensuring clean waterways, harbors and coastal waters, along with a healthy water supply for generations to come. We collaborate with a variety of stakeholders and believe that environmental solutions are also smart business solutions.  Our unique community-wide approach to watershed management promotes equitable, achievable strategies that meet broad societal goals and avoids future conflicts.
The work OCC does for Orange County’s watersheds revolves around their Five Program Pillars.

 

EDUCATION: WHALES (Watershed Heroes: Actions Linking Education to Stewardship) is Coastkeeper’s environmental education program, providing robust marine science curricula, environmental field trips, and bus transportation at no cost to high schools in Orange County.  Students participate in water testing, biological assessment, marine life surveys, habitat restoration, community action projects and career development activities. We also host Kids Ocean Day where we bring out 700 inner city elementary school students to the beach to teach them about their watershed, participate in a beach cleanup, and do an aerial art photo with a message to sustain our ocean.

 
ADVOCACY: Through a collaborative approach, we work with public and private agencies to develop water quality solutions that balance the needs of the environment and the community.  Our main focuses are eliminating polluted urban runoff, and advocating for behavioral changes that will create a healthy future for our water supply. We successfully campaigned against the Foothill South Toll Road, rescued Crystal Cove and were intensely involved in the success of the Marine Life Protection Act.

 

RESTORATION: To preserve critical habitat and species, Coastkeeper has worked to restore kelp forests, eelgrass beds in Newport Bay, and the green abalone population off the Orange County Coast.

 

RESEARCH: Coastkeeper conducts scientific research on sediment and water quality analysis in local waterways and harbors.  Our reports are utilized by governmental agencies at every level to create policy and regulations that address water-related challenges. Coastkeeper keeps a special focus on emerging technologies and innovation that can prevent pollution, and reduce water and energy use.

 

ENFORCEMENT: Coastkeeper’s Law and Policy staff strongly believes our natural environment should be preserved, restored, and accessible.  Our staff helps shape government policy, enforces the Federal Clean Water Act by filing litigation against polluters, and protects safe coastal access.

 

History of Orange County Coastkeepers

The concept of “waterkeepers” dates back to 19th century England, where self-appointed fishermen acted as wardens of private streams to ensure that the waters were healthy, abundant, and safe from poachers.  In 1983, fisherman John Cronin founded the Hudson Riverkeeper, and today there are 204 Waterkeepers worldwide.

Orange County Coastkeeper was founded in 1999 by Garry Brown, an Orange County native who remembers abundant abalone, catching bonito and barracuda from the piers and inside the harbors, and digging for clams along the beach in Newport as a young boy.  Realizing that his sons could not enjoy the same coastal waters he had, Garry established Orange County Coastkeeper, which became the 27th Waterkeeper to be licensed in the United States.   Our professional staff of 12 includes highly dedicated educators, marine scientists, and attorneys, who all share in Coastkeeper’s commitment to swimmable, drinkable, fishable waters for Orange County.
