I had someone yesterday asked me about getting energy for a workout. I do believe that pre workout drinks help you pick up your game but if you don’t have everything balanced it could just be dropping energy from you that you need later.
Make sure that you are using supplements wisely to increase your performance and not as a bandaid to mask things that you are not doing.
Eat, sleep, hydration and then supplements to fill in gaps and improve performance.
Recently there was a discussion on Facebook about how someone have been working out and eating right for 3 weeks and had lost 2 pounds, but she had lost 7.5 inches around her body.
I cannot stress enough my disdain for the bathroom scale and society’s obsession with weight.
Weight is just one measurement and is subpar at best to track one’s health especially when you get within 20 pounds of your supposed ideal weight. Please look at a more important measurements of functionality, inches, and before and after pictures in conjuction with your weight.
YOU ARE NOT A NUMBER!!!
Yep, it is an ab day which means extra sweat, extra pushing, and extra just getting down and workout dirty!
Extra motivation never hurts when your body is tired and you just want to go shower. I am 18 days away from the big 4 – 0.
When I think about that milestone it makes me want to push even harder to make sure that I am in the best shape of my life at forty.
Do you have something that is pushing you today?
#ThrowbackThursday and I can’t believe I am sharing this. I might be smiling but that’s only because I’m with friends and family.
This was a few years back before I had started my fitness journey, me and the family went to sea world and took a few pictures. There are very few pictures of me at this time in my life because I hated, absolutely hated looking at myself in the mirror.
I haven’t seen this picture in years but it’s a testament of no matter where your at you can change your future. Please don’t ever think that you are stuck where you are.
It took 9 months for your mother to grow you inside of her.
How long did it take us to get to where we are now?
Change does not happen overnight, it happens over time with consistency.
Weight loss and looking good are byproducts of living a healthy life of eating the right foods, exercising, and focusing on making ourselves better.
How did I ever think salads were boring?
Swap out dressing, protein, different veggies, even shredding the radishes changes the taste!
Do you eat salads and how do you change them up?
This was the second to the last time for this workout.
There is a huge varity of workouts in this program, no getting board here.
This did make going on the tour hard with all the stairs I had to go up. That a good sign that I pushed hard.
Are you focused on the correct goals?
Weight is one measurement that often it is the wrong measurement that people are shooting for. You can be skinny, your target weight, and be unhealthy.
Healthy is a lifestyle not a number on a scale!
Do you have a morning routine? What do you do?
Here are four things that I focus on daily.
Exercise, learning a new language, reading and guitar are part of my routine.
Anyone can has an amazing body, finding your amazing can take time and commitment but you can do it!
If you want it, it is time to start digging.
