5 Winning Secrets To Creating a Successful Pathway For Long Term Lifestyle Changes

In this article I will address the five stages of change that will give you the lasting success and results you deserve...

The five stages are:

1. Pre- contemplation
2. Contemplation
3. Preparation
4. Action
5. Maintenance

The characteristics are distinct and recognizable. It is my job to point out  to customers, clients, and prospects that you will be in the contemplation and/ or preparation stage for at least one area (fitness, weight, nutrition, stress, health) and  my coaching program will help you reach the maintenance phase (sustaining the new behavior consistenly week to week) within 3-6 months. It is my job as a coach to help you move forward in areas where you have been pre- contemplating and recognize the openings during our coaching discussions. When you progress in one area your confidence in changing will grow and you will become ready to move forward  in another area.

1. Pre- contemplation

Two types of people in this catagory people either are thinking about changing the "I won't" and the "I can't" people.

2. Contemplation

This is the "I may" stage. At this stage, clients, customers, and prospects are thinking about changing an unhealthy behavior and are considering taking action within the next six months.

3. Preparation

At this stage you will be using the terms "I will". Your motivation has strengthened and you are planning to take some action within a month.

4. Action

This is better known as the "I am" stage. You have identified the new behavior that you want to establish and are doing it consistenly, building up to your target levels.

5. Maintenance

We say this is the "I still am" stage. This stage usually begins six months after the initial behavior has changed.

To learn more about these five stages of change and how you can achieve long term Success and Results be on the lookout for more Wellness Coaching articles. I believe that a Wellness Coach, Nutritionist, and Personal Trainer combination is the way to lasting change and the way of the future in the Health and Fitness industry. Finally! Real Results!

Who I Am

Hello, my name is Natalie Pyles. I am a Local Fitness & Nutritional Expert. I have over 16 years of experience in both the Health and Fitness Industry. I'd like to share my Personal story of overcoming my battles with weight loss that began as an early adolescent. I struggled from the ages of 13-18, I realized that I had a severe problem and decided then and there to take action.

I Conquered Weight Loss

I hired a Personal Trainer and Licensed Nutritionist, like myself, and the rest is history. Basically, I learned at an early age, there is no quick fix... only hard work, perseverance, and committment to a healthier lifestyle will guarantee results. I quit looking for the magic solution and got educated.
