Finish Line Mindset: Consistent Progression
===
Speaker: [00:00:00] You've come too far to quit. Now,
in high school, in track and field, I would do the one, two, and 400 meter race, and in each race my coach will get very upset because I would. I spent as, I fast as I could throughout the race, but, uh, I slowed down right at the finish line and he bark at me, run through the line. And throughout the entire season it never stuck.
And now I can see where his, uh, frustration lied as a physical therapist. I've seen one to many patients do what they need to do. [00:01:00] The boring, consistent work only to slow down when it's time to take it to the next level. This is patient who I've been seeing for Achilles tendinopathy. I. She's been doing these isometrics, doing some light stretching, and she's done this for so long now, or a few weeks, maybe a little over a month, that her pain is under control.
She could do a lot of things that she wants to do without any ache or pain from her ankle. Now her goal is to get into playing softball again. So part of her home exercise program, she's graduated to doing this walk jog program.
She has been instructed to [00:02:00] walk for about two and a half minutes and jog for 20 to 30 seconds. She won't do it now.
I am so goal focused, so goal oriented, that I have to know why, and she explains and, and says what a lot of people say, and that's they're fearful of sliding back,
that if she pushes herself to the next level, she's afraid. She's gonna have to start all back over.
I get it. I do. You put in so much work, you don't want to move backward. Here's the thing. [00:03:00] You've been doing the same boring work that got you in a position to take it to the next level. And that next level is a natural part of the same boring stuff, right? It, it's, it's, it's the same thing I where she's gonna do this walk jog program until it bores her, until she wants to jog and only jog until she wants to sprint.
And only sprint until she wants to run. Through first, second, third base and make it to home off of a home run.
I need you all [00:04:00] to run through the line
if you are having trouble. Making you through that finish line, please reach out to me. Go to kenise movement.com, book a consult with me, and tell them, take ownership of your movement. Do more, wait less. I'll see you on the next one.
Okay.
