Workout in the AM!

Posted on December 19, 2011 by lilspence

Once again I have taught myself the lesson that if you want to stay consistent with your workouts the best time to do them is in the morning. In my profession I am on my feet all day long moving around making working out in the morning all the more important. Even if you’re not moving around all day I would definitely recommend morning workouts unless you can easily take the initiative to workout after a long day of work. Working out early not only makes it impossible for something unplanned coming up and cancelling your workout, it will also give you an edge on other people who don’t have the extra energy and mental focus that you will receive from your workout. In most cases there is no need to eat anything before your workout so you only need to wait long enough to become fully awake before exercising.

To prepare yourself for your morning workout I would at the least drink a cup of hot tea or coffee. There are some good pre-workout supplements out there but they also carry some unwanted side effects. If you want a real boost without the side effects, just double the dose of a normal cup of coffee and I am sure you will be up and going strong. As far as what you should do while sipping on your coffee I would recommend watching something that will motivate you. Don’t watch something that is negative or boring(news). If you like YouTube there are many motivational and how to videos on fitness which I would recommend watching sometimes.

As far as your actual workout try to keep up with as many stats as you can to give you a complete picture of you results. If you are a YouTube enthusiast(or not) I would shoot some video before, during, and after your workout. I have found that if you record and document what you are doing you will be more likely to keep your mind on the task at hand. When you review all your stats and videos you will know your weaknesses and can focus on these areas.

Don’t forget that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but also your recovery meal is equally important making breakfast twice as important. So get up, workout, and eat right. You can do it!

Average

Posted on December 19, 2011 by lilspence

Did you know that the average age of a male is 34.4 years old? Well guess what? I will be turning 34 in March of 2012. It is nice knowing you still have half of your life to live, but at the same time I don’t want to live an average life. So in order to not be average, which is what I am now, I will be attempting to complete a full round of P90X and become more than average and hopefully become extremely above average. All it will take is determination and consistency. The only substitution for exercise will be Cardio X in place of Yoga X(sux). I will consume 2500 calories a day and the calories will divided by 5 500 calorie meals. I know diet is the key to any fitness program so I will minimize fats and maximize protein as much as possible. I will drink Shakeology in the morning and maybe have a protein shake for recovery after my workout. Other than that I won’t be taking any other supplements except vitamins. I am looking forward to reaching my goal of not being average and I plan to keep up with as much progress and stats as I can to stay interested. You can do it too. Bring it!

Train For life

Posted on November 20, 2011 by lilspence

When you are beginning a workout program what is the reason you begin it. Most likely you want to lose weight and fit into some smaller clothes without planning for maintaining your weight. Do you know that is probably the biggest reason people don’t keep the weight off for long periods? Think about it like this, when beginning a diet you only plan to do that until you get to your goal weight. Well what do you do when you reach that weight?

The best answer to the question of how to keep weight you lost off permanently is simply make your diet and exercise last a lifetime with no finish line. Sure you don’t need to eat 1200 calories a day for the rest of your life, but you still need to adhere to a certain amount of calories and preferably a substantial amount of exercise. Usually you can find your calorie needs by adjusting until you get it right. Exercise is needed for at least 30 minutes a day 5 days a week. Tailor your lifestyle change to your liking and you will have the best and longest lasting results.

You have to understand that to be healthy you have to live healthy. Dieting for 3 months and then bingeing for 3 months off and on does not work and is really worse than not dieting at all. Set a goal weight, get there, and set a plan to remain there. Train for life.

No Work Experience Needed Fitness Trainer

Posted on November 15, 2011 by lilspence

Want to be a fitness trainer but don’t think you got what it takes? Got the motivation to earn money helping other people become fit but don’t have the resume? Well if you are saying yes look no farther. Beachbody allows regular people with nothing other than the drive to become fit, and the drive to teach others how to become fit, to become a Beachbody Coach and assist others with fitness and nutrition advice and motivation. Coaches are compensated generously and pay is dependant on effort.

So what do you do to become a Beachbody Coach? Simple, just click on the link provided with this blog and choose your package and begin your journey to a healthy lifestyle and economic independence by helping others take control of their excercise and nutrition. What do you have to do? Well this isn’t a get rich quick scheme. You have to put forth time and effort to achieve success as a coach. I would suggest putting aside a certain amount of time each week to focus solely on growing your business. Yes being a Beachbody Coach is the same thing as having your own business. Each product you sell, each coach you sign on, and when you become an Emerald Coach each coach under you will earn you money.

So you don’t think you can do it. All you have to do is workout with one of Beachbody’s programs and as you progress you will learn from experiences from your excercise and nutrition all you need to know to help others succeed with their own fitness journeys. Each day make a commitment to talk to just two people about your business and explain to them the success you are having and the success so many others are having with Beachbody products. Are you worried about the product not producing real results? No problem, all Beachbody products including becoming a coach come with a thirty day money back guarantee.

What are you waiting for. No application needed. No resume needed. No work history needed. No college degree or diploma needed. No interview needed. There is a initial cost of $39.99(one time start-up fee) and a $14.99 monthly fee that is required. And when you become a Beachbody Coach you receive great discounts on all Beachbody products and if you make your personal volume minimum of 50 PV the $14.99 won’t even become an actual cost when you are getting commission checks 10 times that amount. Beachbody Coaching is not a scam and there are some coaches that have made over a million dollars only coaching. While a million is very hard to reach, several hundreds of dollars extra a month is not very far to reach.

So come on click the link a begin your new life! Who knows maybe this can become your only job.

Using Bodyweight To Build Muscle And Lose Weight

Posted on November 14, 2011 by lilspence

Want to build some muscle? Want to burn some fat? Want to do both of these while using no equipment at all? If you like what you hear you should start using your own bodyweight as your gym equipment. Don’t think it will produce results? I’ll use P90X as an example. Look at YouTube at all the P90X body transformations. The before and after pictures tell it all. P9X still uses some weights but the major emphasis is using your body to do push ups, pull ups, and also to work your core. The results are amazing and is all achieved with minimal equipment.

Not only does using your bodyweight build muscle, it also burns more fat at the same time. This is achieved because you are doing a compound excercise when you do push ups for example. This simply means while you are working your chest primarily, you are also working out the rest of your body by keeping it in position. The more muscles you use at the same time the more calories are going to get burned and the longer the burn will last.

P90X has proven this phenomenon for those who keep track of their workouts. People who completed P90X increase their rep counts for most exercises and most people see similar results. Some people can’t do a single pull up when beginning the program. At the end of the program some people can do multiple pull ups and they accomplish all of this while losing a significant amount of weight. This doesn’t mean that you can simply do some push ups and develop a beachbody but if you excercise intensely like the P90X program you are destined to achieve great results.

Come On Man

Posted on November 3, 2011 by lilspence

You are in the middle of an awesome results program and having great success with your workouts. One day you slip and make an excuse not to do what has been getting you these results and bam. Next thing you know you are skipping workouts doing different stuff and before you realize it you have totally derailed your entire program. It is a total bummer and can be avoided all together just by not skipping that workout or doing something else.

See when we skip one workout we alter what could be a huge amount of momentum that has been achieved from sticking with your schedule. It’s like a football game. At one point your up 21 points and in the red zone, then next thing you know the quarterback throws a 85 yard interception return for a touchdown. The scoring team then tries an onside kick and recovers. After a couple of long passes it is only a 1 score game. That is just how the cookie crumbles when you make a mistake.

So to keep it short and sweet don’t do anything different if you are seeing results. If you do decide to do something different, make a plan because the real key to seeing results is to remain consistent.

So come on man. You can do it.

The Top Five Reasons To Stay Active

Posted on October 30, 2011 by lilspence

Staying active is more than a lifestyle. For many people it is the key to their successes in life whether it is at work, being a mother or father, staying mentally stable, and the list could go on and on. For other people it is just another way of having fun and passing time. People can meet new friends staying active and learn new ways to keep variety in their life. Whatever the reason is, staying active can reverse what was once a dull and fulfilling life into an exiting and rewarding one.

Number five on my list of top reasons to stay active is the fact that you will make new friends. Lets face it when you look good you gain a lot more attention. Also if you are working out in a gym you will be surrounded by people who have similar likes that you have and can produce great friendships. It also gives you the confidence that you need to initiate conversations with people you normally wouldn’t. Put all of this together and before you know it you will be the most popular person in the neighborhood.

Number four on the list is the edge it will give you with your career. What if before work you did fifty minutes of intense exercise, took a shower, and then eat breakfast. Could you imagine how much more alert and ready for the day you will be than the other people you work with that are still asleep when they get to work. Not only will you be ready but you can last longer throughout the day because you will have greater stamina built up. Along with stamina comes performance and that will increase your productivity big time.

Number three on the list is the mental effect that exercise has on yourself. Some people rely solely on physical exertion as medication. People who exercise regularly have better self-esteem and outlook on life than sedentary people.

Number two on the list is the effect it will have on your family. The better mood you are in the better your family will get along. When you go on vacations you can keep up with the kids. Your wife will be exited about your new physique and we all know the benefits that could come from that. You can also be better able to teach your kids healthy ways to live their lives. Consider all the other ways that exercise helps you out and all these reasons will affect your family positively.

Number one on the list and is the biggest reason for most people to begin working out is the fact that exercise will increase your life expectancy. Yes it is true exercise is the number one way to increase the number of years that you live. The more years that you live the longer that you can enjoy all the other benefits that you receive from leading an active life.

Being active is a lifestyle, but it is also something that you should take up to better your life not just to compliment it.

Achieving Gains

Posted on October 26, 2011 by lilspence

Alright. You want to put on some significant muscle. What do you do to make sure you get the maximum results from your workout. The worst thing that can happen from a months worth of workouts is ending out the month with little or no gains. Why does this happen. Sometimes you just might be so well conditioned that it becomes very difficult to achieve an increase in your current mass. Others have just hit a plateau. Is there a way to blast through plateaus. Of course there is.

The first thing you need to do is assess your present fitness level. Then if you are not considered to be near your peak then start by designing a program to mix it up and change your normal routine. You want to do something different every few weeks. If you have been doing basic weight lifting try doing some body weight exercises. You can wear weighted vests to increase muscle stress. Super sets are also a favorite nowadays with experienced lifters. Do a set to failure and immediately after the first set do another set to failure using a different muscle group. Also when you plan your workouts make sure you are lifting the most weight you can for a maximum of 10 reps and as few as 6 reps. The last 2 to 3 should be hard. The key here is not getting comfortable with your workouts.

Your diet should consist of a calorie surplus of about 500 calories according to your calorie expenditure. You want to eat as much protein as you can while restricting your carbs but not to the point that you lose energy in your workouts. Counting carbs isn’t as important here as when you are cutting weight because you want to gain weight. You want to use a mass gainer to get those extra calories and also to recover. Just make sure you drink your shake within thirty minutes of completion of your workout. Make sure you get plenty of fruits and vegetables and a limited amount of healthy fats. You may need to adjust your calories up or down little to perfect your diet.

If you are at the point where nothing works and you are already very fit you probably need to train like a power lifter or bodybuilder to see anymore gains. This takes extreme dedication not only to lifting but also to your nutritional intake.

This is only a few options when it comes to increasing muscle growth but with these tips and all of the many options for lifting, you can build your own muscle building program with ease.

“Do your best and forget the rest”.

Modify

Posted on October 26, 2011 by lilspence

I just completed my first Insanity workout of the second half group of sessions. It took a lot of courage on my part to begin the workout. I even put it off a day because I didn’t think it was worth the effort for I would never finish. Well today I went at it for 59 minutes and all I can say is yeah! I made it the for the entire workout just like the first day of Insanity when I had the same feelings. The key for someone my size to complete a workout like this is to modify. Whether it means going slower, not squatting as low, or even doing pushups from your knees, do whatever it takes to keep moving. Now you must understand that with the Insanity collection you will have to take breaks when Shaun isn’t telling you to. Don’t let that get you down though because everyone in the video is taking the same type of breaks during all the workouts. You must realize that these are hard workouts and you must pace yourself so you will not burn out too quickly. It is not an exact science although when you do go a little too fast, just take you a short break then hop back in and dig deep. You can do it!
