Ever wondered what a typical day in the life of a health coach looks like?
Just in case such a thought has ever crossed your mind; maybe you’re thinking of becoming one yourself or you just admire the profession and often wonder how a health coach manages to keep up with life and still stay very healthy. Well, let’s just say today is your lucky day cause I’m about to let you in on what a typical day looks like for me every hour of the day.
Hi! My name is Glennys Marquez and I’m a certified health and wellness coach.
Health coaching for me is a passion. It’s not just something I do to earn a living; it’s a way of life for me. Growing up I was surrounded with a family who paid attention to little details about the food we ate, our bodies and our lifestyle. Food and exercise was a way of bonding for us back then so it came very natural for me to transition into becoming a health coach.
Besides, as a health coach I also get to help a lot of people. Through my career, I’ve helped many people change their eating habits, achieve their health goals and make simple lifestyle changes as well as begin a fitness program for them notwithstanding their age or health limitations.
Many times, I’ve seen people frustrated and confused by the flood of information out there about fitness and nutrition. It’s often difficult to know where to start and that’s where a health coach like me can become very useful. I’ll help you start with a concrete plan that was designed specifically for you and will guide you through the baby steps up until when you’re built up and confident enough to get your fitness life going with little or no external assistance.
In order not to make this about the benefits of hiring a health coach, let’s jump right into what my daily routine looks like so you can get to see how I get to do the things that I do.
7:30am: Say my prayers, reflect on things that I’m grateful for, brush my teeth, tongue scrape, then drink a lot of water to prepare myself for my morning meditation.
7:45am: Spend quality time meditating on all things Glennys. Reflect on my accomplishments, my goals, relationships or anything else that may be preoccupying my mind at the moment. Then enjoy a drink of either Ginger Powder Water or Lemon Water
9am: Get my cardio workout going (on an empty stomach) while listening to a playlist from Spotify or audible. (**Share link)
10am: It’s Breakfast time! Definitely a smoothie (With almond/coconut milk, 2 scoops of peanut butter, plant-based protein powder, 1 tablespoon of almond butter, handful of spinach, superfood green powder, and superfood coconut powder
Make sure not to add any fruit in the smoothie. Rather you should eat the fruit afterwards, maybe an avocado, bananas, pineapples or whatever fruit may be available during that time of the year. Ensure to keep the smoothie sugar free because it helps regulate your insulin levels to help balance your hormone levels.
Then I’ll have a meal of poached egg with oatmeal, or banana bread with tea (not coffee!).
Also, I don’t forget to take my vitamins.
Morning: TJ’s chewable B12, multi-vitamin, vitamin E, D, Primrose Oil, Zinc (immune system) Evening: magnesium (**Disclaimer: these are prescribed specifically for me)
After which I’ll do my makeup routine: Rinse face, moisturizer, jade facial roller, collagen face oil, mascare, neutral eyeshadow and lip gloss)
11-11:30am: Check my emails and work schedule for the day (via my Project Manager: Asana)
11:30am -1pm: Client sessions (Tuesdays/ Wednesdays and Fridays)
1:00pm: Lunch time (Homemade banana bread, spinach salad with almonds, tomatoes, cucumber with lemon/olive oil, Himalayan salt, sesame seeds,3-4 poach eggs)
2-5pm: Client sessions (Tuesdays/ Wednesdays and Fridays) or focus on social media tasks
5pm: Study for my fitness certification
6pm: Family / Dinner Time (Vegetarian option/always meatless day every week) Salmon, big salad, air fried/oven/instapot sweet potato, and condiments (like avocado, coconut and olive oils)
Meal options are sometimes determined by our immediate fitness goal i.e. what part of the body we’re currently working one. (For example: if it’s the arms, we’ll have air fried leaner protein bases like fish, turkey breast, and chicken).
7pm: Talk time with Family. Talk about what’s happening in our lives or what happened during the day, reflect on our goals, and how we’re keeping up.
9pm: weightlift various parts of the body (Quads & Abs). Please note that it’s usually recommended to work out in the morning, however I figured during the lockdown that this works better for my schedule.
10pm: Spiritual Studies / Practice (keep neutral) / Read books, and Journal (Usually I set a goal for myself to read at least one book per month)
11:00pm: Bedtime Routine (tea with hubby, brush teeth, cleanser, spray toner, deep moisturizing and eye cream)
11:15pm: Think about the day’s highlights and things I’ve done that day to grow / Meditate and plan for the next day. (**Get rid of all devices before this time)
11:30pm: Sleep
There you go, that’s my day in a nutshell! Nothing out of the ordinary right? But I must say that I’m loving every minute of it. This routine has helped me to live more, love more and be the best version of myself that I can be.
