Welcome to Performance Potential

 Here at Performance Potential you will learn how maximize your health and improve your performance at your chosen activities by he implementation of an individualized exercise plan, and Nutrition and Lifestyle Coaching. Correct movement, nutrition, and rest are all essential components of a healthy lifestyle.  If  you have a current exercise routine that has not helped you achieve your goals, or a diet plan that leaves you hungry or does not produce its expected results, or you wake after a nights sleep still tired; then all of these things need to be looked into and your physiological and nutritional needs need to be determined in order for you to look, feel, and perform at your best. Let me help you to understand what you need to do to successfully achieve your health and fitness goals .

A good nutritional and biomechanical foundation is essential for those who want to achieve their goals and sustain a state of health and wellness. Our bodies need a good structural foundation derived from high quality food and quality movement that allows kinetic energy to be generated and transferred through our bodies efficiently without overload on any particular structure or structures in the kinetic chain involved.  This is accomplished by optimizing posture, improving joint stability and developing excellent neuromuscular coordination - allowing the various parts of our body to work efficiently together. 

Before beginning and exercise program  it is essential to take postural measurements and perform a thorough movement assessment to determine the biomechanical needs of the individual. Key stabilizer functions must also be tested to ensure that  that later fitness and performance gains are built upon a solid foundation so that temporary performance gains do not come at the expense of ones health or long term performance in their chosen activities. Pursuing fitness and performance gains without due attention to posture and biomechanics tends to accelerate the rate at which our bodies break down.

At Performance Potential lifestyle changes are promoted that are realistic and permanent rather than the quick fix, temporary, and superficial changes that are most commonly promoted in most weight loss, and performance/fitness conditioning programs.
