Before Big Goals, Start Small: Introduce Your Clients to Pressing RESET This Year

Categories: resolution, new year, don't quit, reflexive stability, blog Jan 01, 2025


As the New Year begins, many people are ready to set fitness goals and change their health. For fitness professionals and healthcare providers, it’s the perfect opportunity to help clients and patients build a foundation for long-term success.  

One of the most straightforward yet most life-changing tools you can teach them? Pressing RESET.

What Is Pressing RESET?

The Pressing RESET method is based on the body’s foundational movement patterns—breathing, rolling, rocking, and crawling. These movements, which we naturally progress through as babies, helped us establish our original strength, which still allows us to get up, walk, run, and do life. 

We can utilize these same movements as adults to help us reset and reconnect the brain and body, improving overall strength, movement, and life for people of all ages and abilities. 

Why does this matter? Because movement begins with a healthy nervous system.

When the nervous system works efficiently, the body moves, feels, and performs better. RESETS are simple but powerful tools for restoring the mind and body connection, building better body awareness, and unlocking your full movement and performance potential.

The Science: Why Resets Work

  1. Nervous System Regulation
    The nervous system is the body’s control center, coordinating everything from muscle activation to balance, posture, and control of your organs and brain. The entire body suffers when the nervous system is dysregulated (often due to stress and sedentary lifestyles).

    • RESETS tap into the parasympathetic nervous system (the body’s “rest and digest” mode), calming the fight-or-flight response, reducing stress, and helping the body to feel safe. 
    • When the body feels safe, it moves more freely, and people feel better, experience improved mobility, and experience decreased pain. 

  2. Joint Mobility and Health
    RESETS like rocking and rolling gently mobilize key joints, including the spine, hips, and shoulders. This is critical for maintaining joint health and preventing stiffness.

    • Research shows that low-load movements improve synovial fluid production, which nourishes cartilage and keeps joints healthy.
    • For example, rocking encourages proper spinal alignment and can help reduce chronic back pain.

  3. Building Stability and Strength
    RESETS build reflexive stability—the body’s ability to maintain balance and control without conscious effort. This is foundational for everything from walking to high-level athletic performance.

    • The brain controls reflexive stability and requires consistent communication between the nervous system and muscles. RESETS activate this connection, improving coordination and balance.

Why Fitness Pros and Healthcare Providers Should Use RESETS

For many clients and patients, the biggest obstacle to movement is the fear of doing too much too soon. RESETS remove this barrier by being:

  • Accessible: Anyone can do them anywhere, regardless of age, fitness level, or physical limitations.
  • Effective: RESETS help clients feel better and move better in just a few minutes a day, giving them the confidence to do more.
  • Complementary: RESETS enhance traditional strength training, mobility work, and rehabilitation programs.  

How to Implement RESETS

You don’t need to overhaul your practice to integrate RESETS. Start with these simple steps:

  1. Introduce Breathing or Rocking: Teach clients or patients a fundamental RESET, such as breathing diaphragmatically or rocking on hands and knees. These low-barrier movements immediately benefit posture, emotional regulation, joint health, and stability. 
  2. Pair Resets with Workouts: Use RESETS as a warm-up, cool-down, or recovery tool to maximize results from traditional exercise routines.
  3. Encourage Daily Movement: Challenge clients to add 3-5 minutes of RESETS to their day. This builds consistency without overwhelming them.

Moving Forward: A Year of Movement

Instead of focusing solely on big goals this year, help your clients build the foundation for lifelong movement. Pressing RESET isn’t just a tool—it’s a way to restore the body’s natural ability to move well and feel great.  

By teaching people how to Press RESET, you improve your clients’ physical performance and empower them to manage their health sustainably.
