A great way to kick off a new week early on a Monday morning!! MMA Shred action to boost the metabolism, shred the core and burn calories!! The beauty of this program is that it is FUN! Doing these workouts where I get to kick, slash, knee, punch, uppercut and fly through the air doing superman jump punches is so energizing that I look forward to the next one!!
What better way to get into good shape, but to do some super fun physical activity!? There is no more dreading a workout or feeling like its something I “have to” do. It’s something I am driven to do that totally makes my day! That mindset shift makes all the difference!
If you want to find a workout program that you LOVE and that you totally look forward to every day…be sure to contact me, and I will help you find “the one”!
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!
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!
Professionally designed lifting programs at home are the way to go
Back into some heavy lifting on day 15 of my 91 day challenge! I had forgotten just how amazing it feels to lift heavy and do drop sets etc and have those muscles feel like rubber! After this 49 minute lifting workout, I have so much energy I feel like running! Oh man I love it!!?
Building those muscles definitely increases the sense of well-being! I think I could get addicted to this feeling!??
If you have never tried a professionally designed body building program, I would definitely recommend it….Sagi Kalev is totally amazing!!! I literally cannot wait until the next workout 🙂
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!?
I was working these quads, hamstrings, glutes and abdominals early this morning… in a combination of deadlifts, squats and lunges…wow! Leg day is hard but I hear that it brings the most benefits over all other lifting routines so its worth the hard work!
Leg muscles are the largest muscle groups in the body, so they burn the most calories… did you know that your gluteus Maximus (ie your buns) is the largest muscle in the body?
OOH! Leg Muscles look Good!
Leg muscles are our big muscle groups, but they also look really nice. Strong glutes, athletic quads, healthy hamstrings and toned calves certainly look good in a pair of shorts. However, there are 5 bigger reasons to work those legs than just for the looks! …
Power and Endurance
Legs are powerful when they are strong and give us higher athletic ability to do other sports such as running, jumping or sports requiring speed! Having strong conditioned muscles also gives us more endurance so that we can move faster and for a longer period of time without getting tired!
2. Less Injuries
When our legs are strong, joints are optimally supported and there is much less likelihood of having certain injuries especially during sporting activities
3. Burn more Calories
With conditioned leg muscles, our whole body will generally have a higher metabolism. Those larger muscles require more energy and therefore your metabolism 24 hours per day will be higher! Aha! Weight loss!
4. Less Back Pain
Less back pain will be there if we have strong lower body. The glutes take a lot of the strain off the lower back when we are standing. If we sit all day, we are more likely to have short hip flexors and weak hamstrings (leading to sore back)…. Stretching those hip flexors and working on strengthening the glutes, hamstrings and abdominal muscles can make a dramatic difference in reducing back pain.
5. Practical strength
With strong legs, even if you are not an athlete, it will help you with day to day activities without getting hurt. Things such as moving around heavy items, carrying groceries, moving furniture are easier if the legs are strong because your body will have the strength to squat and hinge at the hips. This way, when we use our strong legs, we can much easier lift heavy items without hurting our back!
LEG WORKOUT TIP
With leg exercises, it is important to start low and gradually increase the weights. Do full range of motion slowly, with abdominals in to support the back and slowly increase the depth of your movements. It is very important to use proper form to avoid hurting the knees so be sure to research this or get a coach (like me) to help you out.
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!
Now THAT is something worth fighting for!!! My health is something that I do not take for granted any longer! No way!
I spent too many years out of shape, in pain, digestion not working worth a crap (literally), painful knees, fatigue, poor sleep, constant lower back issues and miserable in the head too! That’s no way to live!! I am so happy that I made the decision 2 years ago that I was going to change this!
The decision was made after going through every medical test known to man including colonoscopy and finding out that there was nothing medically wrong with me!!! Ultimately I was just unhealthy, fat and out of shape! What an epiphany that was!!!
I said NO MORE and started working my ass off, superfood and professional fitness every day and clean eating and my body totally transformed. …and guess what? My whole mental health and mood transformed with it since my body was now running efficiently and my hormones were better balanced too! And you know what happens when you become a happier and more fun person? Your whole life changes!
Oh yes, believe me, the decision I made 2 years ago was the best decision of my life and I will NEVER EVER go back to how I was.
To transform your body and your health, be sure to join me for my next accountability and support group for superfood and fitness. There are programs for everyone from beginners to even the most conditioned athlete! CONTACT ME NOW to get started!
Lots of grunting, groaning and heavy breathing with the challenging strength workout this morning! Started a new 91 day fitness challenge today and I am determined to get ‘er done no matter what!
I remember what my last trainer told me…If it was easy, there would be nothing achieved! Working out to achieve fitness goals is supposed to be hard! ?. As a result of what she said, even though it is HARD, I push myself harder all the time…after all this work, I at least want to see and feel progress!
Lets do this!
Day 1 of 91 day program completed and feeling fired up for my Monday today!? Now to have an Icy and delicious superfood shake for recovery and then time to hit the shower! Hope you have an awesome Monday!
REMEMBER THIS…. “Choose Your Hard”… Working out and being dedicated to a program is HARD, but looking in the mirror and being unhappy with how you look and feel is also HARD. Which HARD do you pick?
Beware….exercise and healthy nutrition can lead to strength, flexibility, happiness, improved relationships, prevent disease, a longer and healthier life, better quality of life, a healthy weight, solid balance, reduced chance for injury and so much more! Who wouldn’t want all of these things in their life? Make the DECISION to choose the fitness and health “HARD” today and transform your life for the better!
