Working both the physical and mental muscles this morning. I made it through!
Pushing through those reps this morning was a killer. Doing leg day is the toughest workout of all and is hard to get through. It’s a mental challenge to have to keep telling yourself you can do it! I felt like quitting many times this morning (so HARD!), but pushed through it.
I remind myself that the reason I am pushing myself so hard today is that as a result, I will be stronger tomorrow! This same concept applies to many areas of life as well! Work those mental and physical muscles and they will all get stronger over time ???. Day #61 of 91 of my current challenge complete! ✅
The truth is this…. You can accomplish anything if you believe in yourself…absolutely anything!! I used to doubt myself a lot and that just downright lowers your confidence and affects your happiness and productivity in the long run! Believe in yourself and what you do and you will accomplish GREAT things!
If you have a hard time believing in yourself, then it is seriously time to start doing some personal development work. A good book to read is “you are a bad ass” by Jen Sincero and another is “The compound effect” by Darren Hardy…both great books! Personal development work will totally change your life…this I can promise you. It has totally changed mine…and my daughter’s too!!
It is what you do today that really matters. NOT what you say or think you will start doing tomorrow, next week, or after an event …it’s the actions that happen now that actually matter.
Just think how different your life would be if your decisions occurred quickly and the action started today? How would you then feel 3 months from now?
Its not just about health though….success in every area of our life depends on action in the right direction. It could be decisions about business, relationships, finances, career, and so much more!!
Being on the fence and procrastination…both lead to the death of success. I have been there before and learned this lesson the hard way. Don’t lose out on opportunities by waiting too long….you may lose out on something or someone forever by waiting or planning for “tomorrow”
Decide quickly, take action now and achieve quicker than you ever imagined! Action is the key! Start now and just do it!
As Tony Robbins says…we are either growing or we are dying…so lets keep moving forward and grow!
There is something about working on developing strong round shoulders that has a way of making the waist look smaller…hmm what a novel idea!! In the video above is a 6 way move I did while working Shoulders this morning that definitely got my shoulders burning!
Muscles give our body nice shape and tone and pumps up our metabolism all day as well…bonus! Don’t wait.. get started now!
To have success in health and fitness, achieving a healthy weight sometimes takes doing something NEW and that we have never done! If you have never tried superfood and professionally designed fitness to change your life, my gosh, contact me now and I will help you get started and to succeed!
Would you lift weights if you knew it could make you look younger? Well it can!! Lifting combined with superfood nutrition to give you a healthy glow is a magical youth potion!
As we get older, we lose the support of collagen in our skin and tissue leading to loose skin and wrinkles. By lifting weights, those areas tighten and fill out with muscle looking much younger!! I am pushing 50 and have lost over 40 pounds, so you can imagine it that some areas of loose skin can happen in this situation.
Keep it safe!
Weight lifting using a professional program is advised to ensure you lift in a balanced manner to keep joints balanced and to use proper form to avoid injury.
Seriously take some time to consider starting superfood and a lifting program to work your way to youth!! The professionally designed program I am using is amazing!! Please let me know if you want to hear more about it??
The use of multiple types of sets such as combo sets, giant sets, single sets, progressive sets, drop sets, forces sets etc keeps your muscle wondering and confused…and therefore developing nicely!?
The effectiveness of professionally designed programs that incorporate all of these types of sets has been proven to get you the results you want.
The more effective the muscle training, the more the muscles will evenly develop. Developed and conditioned muscles burn more calories, are functionally stronger and also give us stronger joints, less prone to injury and less pain. It’s a win win to work those muscles properly!
By using a professionally designed program, it gives a strategy to follow to ensure that edge that will get the body you are looking for! Takes the guessing completely out of the picture by showing you exactly what to do each day to get those results!
This morning for me was back and biceps work …Gosh, it feels so awesome to be lifting these days! …day 17 of current 91 day core and beast challenge is complete!
What you focus on is what you get. I have slowly learned to focus on what I want to achieve instead of focusing on why it is not possible or why it can’t be done. No more of that crap for me!! I now focus on the positive outcome I want and it just happens…by doing this, my vision naturally pulls me along!
The way it used to be was that I would always be telling myself what I “should” be doing and groaning at how difficult it was. This is NO way to get motivated at all because the focus is all wrong!
I started focusing on feeling positive, energized, toned, chiseled and happy with some muscles, having a passion for life and what I am doing and this kind of vision just pulls me along with a huge smile and energy!!
Having a positive vision with strong associated passion works for no matter what you want to achieve!! A healthy body, incredible work life, great friends, a happy family, a great living environment etc…it is worth it to learn to make this mental shift and seriously working on personal development is the only way to get there!
Get fired up and happy with your life! If you would like some suggestions on where to start, don’t hesitate to message me. It is totally life changing and I am proof of that! I have now overcome a very rough childhood past and all of the emotional baggage that comes with that and divorce, and much other crap I have been through! None of that gets me down anymore…I am now thankful I had those experiences to build on the strengths that I now have today…totally a better feeling to have than being dragged down with anger and self-pity!!
Have a fabulous and thankful day today! Day #11 of my 91 day fitness challenge complete!?
How many of us would benefit from having a smaller waist size? I think the majority feel that it would be a good idea… especially those over 40! Gosh…being over 40, these pounds seem to slip onto the waistline so easily!!
One thing is for sure…taking time to do core work at least a couple times a week definitely makes a difference. By working those core muscles, they become smaller, stronger and more compact (thus a smaller waist size) it has definitely made a difference for me! The moves I am doing in the video are part of a 16 min Core workout that I do at least twice per week. It was very hard to start with, but I have been doing this for 3 months now and my core is already MUCH stronger!
The side benefits of having a strong core is that you are stronger and better in other sports and activities (everything from hockey, to running to horseback riding!) and have a stronger back and less prone to injury! My back pain is almost non-existent since working on my core regularly!
All set for a healthy day today!!! Dynamic strength workout done which now has all of my muscles fired up and roasting a tonne of calories that will increase my metabolism all day! The calorie burn all day is a real bonus! Once we are over-40, our metabolism really needs a kick!
My healthy food is all ready for the day to carry in my trusty cooler that includes mixed greens salad, 0% plain Greek yogurt, raw unsalted mixed nuts and seeds, apple, orange, and a spare scoop of superfood shake in a ziplock baggie just in case I notice any cravings later in the day. I will also have some eggs with pepper for breakfast for extra protein before I head to work!
All set for a healthy day! It helps to get started right every morning and to have some preparation done the night before!
Yes, we all have choices….. Sleep in or get up early to work out? Hit the drive-thru or take a bit of time to meal plan and meal prep? Watch mindless TV or do some personal development? Buy an expensive handbag or sneakers or invest in a superfood and workout program?
Hey, its true that where you spend your time and money are where your priorities are. I urge you to make the sacrifices you need to make to live a healthier, happier and more fulfilling life.
I’m all about quality of life versus the quantity of things I own. I want to be able travel the world with my family and spend many more years together. I want to see my great grandchildren graduate high school and get married. I want to prevent generations of family to come from having high blood pressure, high cholesterol, cancer and diabetes.
Speaking of quality of life, I have truly learned to value personal growth, health and happiness over money and this mind-shift alone has totally changed my life.
Examine what you can eliminate in your life to ultimately make YOU (your health and happiness) the priority. And to help you to do that, the next time you hear yourself say “I don’t have the time” or “I don’t have the money”, try saying instead that “It’s really not a priority” and see how THAT feels.
