The course has been designed to help people to be active and take the first small step physically and mentally to work towards a happier and healthier lifestyle. Not everyone has the time nor access to go to classes so this course allows you to progress and learn when it suits you in an environment of your choosing. You will become more physically active, be more mindful of your activities, have an increased awareness of the way you think and how you communicate and connect with people around you. Many courses and movement systems talk about the importance of being mindful without any real instruction on what that means and how to do it. This course will guide you through the how, what and why of how to have a stronger body and a stronger mind. There are over 3 hours of video lessons plus additional resources, fun sheets, bonus videos and a private Facebook group to support your learning.

WHAT IS IT?
The STRONG BODY STRONG MIND course has been created by Julie Angel, bringing together MaryBeth Gangemi (movement specialist) and Sandra Vesterstein (NeuroLinguistic Programming Trainer). They will teach you how to move better and help you understand how your mind works, in order to make you feel happier, healthier and empowered. Working online you can go can at your own pace as all of the content is available immediately. Your time is valuable, so no need to wait for the next installment. The course includes two key components, Train the Body and Train the Mind.
A. This is a beginner level course, which you can start exactly where you are and progress from there.
Q. Do I need any special equipment for the Train the Body section?
A. No, the emphasis is on being able to practise all of the movement skills in a variety of environments.
Q. I barely have enough time to get things done as it is – how will I find time to implement this course?
A. The course is presented in a way that you can implement the skills into your daily routines without thinking about ‘working out’ or getting lost in your thoughts. A little often will go a long way to keep you sustainably healthier in mind and body. There is a quick reference guide to all the drills and checklists so you can look, learn and practice even if you only have 2 minutes to spare.
Q. I understand that if I put in the work and implement your system I WILL see epic results, but how many hours should I set aside each week?
A. The more you do, the better you will feel. Doing 5 or 10 minutes several times a day will already start to yield results. You’ll want to do more as progressing is both rewarding and fulfilling.
Q. I’m not looking to lose weight, will this course still help me?
A. Yes. This is not a diet or boot camp course. The focus is on your overall wellness and creating the foundations for feeling empowered in your everyday life.
Q. Will you be telling me what to think? I don’t want to be manipulated into thinking differently.
A. No. The Train the Mind section will help you understand how your mind works, become a better communicator and therefore be able to get more out of life.
Q. Do you guarantee that I’ll see and feel changes?
A. Yes. If you are honest with yourself about your roadblocks and habits, open to change and practise the lessons consistently you will experience change.
Q. Should I do this along side any other programs?
A. Yes. The skills covered in the Train the Body section will complement any other movement or training program. You can never get too much of the basics. Train the Mind offers techniques to create positive solutions and outcomes so can transcend anything and everything that you do.

” The course teaches a broad foundation of movement and mental skills, presented through quality videos, transcripts, worksheets and additional references for those driven to dig even deeper. Working from self-assessments to mental and physical exercises, it shows how to train the mind, (which is too often neglected) as well as the body. It provides the structure and skills needed to first understand, and to then expand and strengthen, the mind and body’s abilities. In the end, this enables each student to discover their personal journey of understanding and improvement as they grow from passively learning to actively directing their own progress.”

“Strong Body. Strong Mind. It sounds so simple and yet it eludes so many of us because we lack the information and application to become as strong as we’re capable of. This doesn’t need to be the case. With Strong Body Strong Mind, Julie has created a robust yet accessible platform to empower us to take our physical and mental wellbeing into our own hands.”
