Redefining Fitness | Scott Schutte | TEDxWestMiddleSchool


I want to get to this this is something
I hear almost daily
my name is sketchy I’ve been personal
trainer for the past 12 years in that
time I’ve been over 15,000 hours before
to 101 and one all must study with
clients pursuing a fitness I’ve owned my
own personal change agent for the past
eight years
last year alone with my making team we
did over 20,000 appointments possibly an
impact or a thousand people so through
me to hear how my get fit isn’t new to
me I stand ready question if after I
hear someone say I wanna get fit is what
does that mean to you I got the same
answers when I lose weight only be
healthier when he’s stronger all of
these in the right context can be the
right answer at the same time I’m very
incomplete and this is what I’ve learned
again Fitness needs to be defined people
wanted to particularly start this
process it’s used the vongole she’s a
long path to get there anything is a
very dynamic process that’s why I’m here
today to give a better definition of
what this should mean and give you a
better understanding teach you to think
differently about what your fitness
goals are impacting it there so I’m
going to share a couple examples to
illustrate this my first example let’s
call her Sarah Sarah’s goal is to lose
Sarah’s packet there is it take a diet
it’s very low in calories savers been
doing this for a while with very little
success so why is Sarah having success
with this this is really what she wants
this coming up happier healthier this
gonna make her feel better so I put a
little specialist there I thought I got
a few things number one she is a very
stressful job takes up a lot of her time
she also has family members helpless not
doing very well
it also takes up a lot of her time
just Sarah’s very stressed and someone
that’s very stressed trying to change
the nutrition around perhaps Brown
becomes very difficult so what’s their
really synergies and strategies manager
self distress to reduce your stress
Syria’s chemical father so you see a
the traditional bottle but I typically
see people come to me they won’t get fit
we lost it uncomfortable after getting
their piggy specific diet that that’s
our twos factor macro nutrients and
calories a lot of times we don’t see
this result very minimal which increases
our stress decreases our happiness
decreases energy now if we take a step
back we finally Sarah really needs every
her supposed to be reducing our stress
did you plan a trip you should plan
weekly activities that are fun she
should get more sleep I’m not saying
that people shoot an investment Trisha
on this date we’re staring right now if
you’d address our stress mention that
happen one
there’s you’ll have the ability to take
along like changing the nutrition Louise
my second sample right
my typical guy Mike must be 10% like
that might have to get there or got hard
all the whole time to meet again like
Sarah I guess it looks excessive this so
is this what Mike really needs League
once after a little bit especially
Michael I find out that his main reason
for me to get leaner he supposed to keep
up his kids it’s kids getting over it
into competitive sports he’s done chemo
might after 15 years of email regular
basis very counselor Boyd
so what am I really need so my niece
some strategies sure what to choose when
he’s getting out Mike needs some recipes
that you can make with this family at
home and that was really my favorite
because it sold my goal is it in
with his kids we can always wait long
process and that thought alone he is you
both let’s summarize the traditional
model so what comes in they have a body
back goal that they want to hit like
mine is ever sent just to make up ever
it’s back to getting there it’s working
we dig a little deeper to redefine
fitness we find us really believe
justice biggest goal with his kids
through human strategies so we can lose
some weight so it can be marketed with
them but also activities that are along
his path you can spend more time with
his kids with that better results now I
want to take a second and point out that
I’m not saying people should lose weight
or body fat will work out I’m just
saying that sometimes when you take step
back and reevaluate where our goals are
and our path to get there so then the
question becomes how do that when we
come to redefine fitness Penton
calculators take all the benefits
estimate model in the ten categories get
two seconds section number ones physical
where strength there are some
possibility section two is the lifestyle
nutrition health mindset happiness
energy stress relationships and giving
to the back let me break it out further
typically with people at physically
active
they haven’t one thing that they love
doing I love lifting weights
they love home in yoga we love doing
endurance type activity like running and
they just really do that one thing did
become more of a specialist
the problem is meet about 14 3
it’ll be juice chances for injury it’ll
make your fitness overall better when it
comes through the livestock portion like
this all earlier was there she didn’t
work stress management and she did
nutrition so it’s figuring out like
what’s the best view at difference in
your life so I would each one each and
every one of you take second look at
this model figure out for the next four
weeks on a physical side what society
black what some people view now because
you’re not comfortable doing it you
don’t know what to do
it’s circular on the path learning how
to do that the same thing with the
lifestyle portion well it’s one of those
stuff of things you can choose to do for
the next four weeks to reducing stress
is it building about relationships with
people in your life is that mindset
which is basically setting a meditation
practice yourself
if you struggle figure out which one’s
best be human that’s fine doctor
threatened our professional the beauty
of this approach is that it gives more
categories for us to talk about to think
about it comes to gain fit and it just
gives two categories that we have to
focus on one physical one lifestyle so
with this new model we can not only get
better results well we can also create a
leaner healthier and most importantly
