Exercise Challenge!

Today I would like to suggest a new one that will have you a little off balance. Be very careful and I will not be held liable if you fall on your butt and hurt your pride or anything else for that matter!

Walking backwards up the stairs! Make sure you have a railing to hang on to for support and walk up the stairs backwards, come down the regular way and repeat. Aim for 10 minutes of this back and forth process and you will use the muscles in the back of your legs you never knew were there! Good luck!

Breathing Through Nose or Mouth?

When weight training always breath out through your mouth. It creates extra pressure in the abdominal area to support the lifting movement. When doing cardio and other exercise types like yogo or pilates, breath out through your nose. This tends to calm the nervous system and gives you better control over your air needs.

The most important thing to remember is to NEVER STOP BREATHING! Don't hold your breath when weight lifting that is when injuries and blood pressure rises happen!

Cheers!

On Top Of The World Ma!

Why are you doing this? That is the question I was asked today, by a coworker. Why am I not charging lots of money, why am I doing it for free, why am I helping people who cannot afford it and why bother.....? Well, we all have a reason for being here and I have found my reason.

Everyone should be able to access health and fitness information and be guided by someone without months of waiting for referrals. It should be free for everyone, but we do have to make a living at it. Again, I leave nobody out, let me know what you can afford and we will get something to work for everyone.

You can do it! Lose 10 pounds or 500 if you need to, we can all help each other and band together to change this industry that wants to take your money for nothing. I give you knowledge and support, the most important things you need to get the job done. You will reach your goals, and you will have someone by your side supporting you and available at the click of a mouse!

MY PROMISE TO YOU ALL!!

I get in better shape day by day and so can you. I fail and cheat on my nutritional plan and am not perfect. I still want to get into a condition to compete and you can to. Let's git'r'done!

Good health and fitness need not be expensive.

Boost Diabetic Ready To Drink Shakes

Boost now makes a Diabetic geared meal replacement shake in small serving sizes. The great thing is that they are not just for diabetics. They have 16g of protein, 16g of carbs and about 7g of fat. In total about 198 calories, perfect for a snack in between your meals or for a before or after workout drink. A great product for everyone. Vanilla, strawberry and chocolate. I have tried the chocolate and they do taste a little off, but not too bad when really cold. I'll let you know about the other flavours when I get a chance to try them. They run about $8-9 for a 6 pack. Very affordable when you really need a snack and don't want to blow your nutritional plan for the day!

Forgiveness

When we gain weight (fat) we blame ourselves for various things. Maybe it is blame for eating poorly, eating too much, or just for being weak. Maybe it is for lack of knowledge about our body. Whatever the blame you put on yourself, today....STOP. E-mail me and let's get you back on track and get your goals in place. If you have no goals, how can you plan? If you have no plan, how can you ever hope to succeed? Do it today, quit wasting time, let's work together. I leave nobody out, regardless of income or situation, we'll get something to work.

Depression leads to poor health and other problems, stop the cycle today.
