Take Care for fitness and fat loss

Do you take good care of yourself?

Well you either do you or don’t. Because actions are more valuable than words.

Some tips for self-care include:
  1. Live Healthy, eat healthy foods, get enough sleep, exercise regularly, and avoid drugs and alcohol.
  2. Practice good hygiene.
  3. See friends to build your sense of belonging.
  4. Try to do something you enjoy every day.

This is where the performance goals in fitness play in

If you truly want to get the leanest body you’ve ever had, you have to get better. Stronger perhaps, faster, or more skilled. Muscular endurance and recovery time.

You force the body to change. Becoming faster or more skilled at controlling heavy resistance are key to training the body properly. Progression is everything.

We could all do a little better

It’s good to have support around you. Celebrate healthy attitudes and reward the pursuit of fitness for life, longevity, and anything you’ve ever worked for.

Recovery activities will help you do more sooner

How does one manage the stress of life? I think about the meaning of it, what the message represents. When in doubt, exercise self-care.

Strength, power, and endurance gains for fat loss and fitness lifestyle

The key is progression

Progressive resistance is the foundation of effective training. We must endure heavier forces. This is how we turn on the metabolic super fat burning furnace!

Strength training with progressive resistance boosts hormones

Lots of people want more and fitness is part of the solution. Healthy people should do 3-4 times per week of moderate to high intensity exercise. Focused people may work out all the time.

Some things you can do everyday

Examples of progressive resistance

1. Going heavier on exercise than ever before

2. Doing more reps with your previous personal record weight than before

3. Running forward at faster speeds than ever before whether on the treadmill our outside

4. Run the same speed and at a higher incline than ever before

5. Do any of the above and repeat three times

Rest and recover

Lean proteins and antioxidants with high fiber and water consumption.

Orangetheory Fitness attacks the Big Climb 2015, fights blood cancers

The Big Climb is about Elevation

You must rise up. To rise up is to fight against cancer and there are many ways to do this.

Incline and vertical training for fat loss

There is something I can be passionate about for rising up. Working your way up the pull of gravity is key to the disease prevention lifestyle.

Disease prevention with incline training

Fat loss, muscle tone, and improved cardiovascular health can be achieved through a moderate-to-high intensity training regimen with fresh nutrition.

That’s why I captained the Big Climb 2015 Seattle team

The above picture was moments away from the starting stairwell to go up 69 stories in Seattle’s Columbia Tower.

A gray day won’t stop us now

Getting to the top is the inherent value, if the view is decent then bonus

Getting to the top is inherent in value, if the view was amazing then it would just be excess

Make it to the top!

Here is Seattle in all of its spring glory, I was happy to be catching my breath with this in sight

Here is Seattle on an inevitable day with the gray and I have sweat through my shirt just now

Congrats to the finishers

Woo feels good to finish! Rachel and Julianne celebrate

Thoughts about the Climb 2015

This fundraising effort was rife with support from many individuals. I appreciate you all for that, and for being here reading this. Here are a few thoughts I have about the Big Climb 2015

  • Your heart is the most important muscle and you should eat to support it
  • When I consume a beetroot, carrot, kale juice, it’s because I feel like it helps me breathe better
  • Breath in through the nose, out through the mouth
  • Use your upper body and core strength to pull yourself up and to push through the turns
  • Core strength improves with progressive resistance training
  • Pump yourself up and do what it takes even if it means some self talk!
  • Do it again for next year

Our team will continue on. We celebrated at a Sunday Happy Hour downtown and then walked home thanks to our city dwelling lifestyles.

Later that day

The spring day in Seattle departed with rays through lingering levels of moisture

How to Date a Personal Trainer and is it even a good idea

Personal trainers leave an impact everyday

Think about the ways in which you’ve ever felt inspired. I get inspired by people enjoying their workouts. It is wonderful to surround yourself with individuals, groups, and organizations who add value to your life.

The workout always comes first

It’s about the workout, dummy

Coaching means investing in people

When you invest your time in others, does it make you feel good about yourself? We all leave an impact on others and sometimes that impact can be quite compelling and attractive.

Filling a hole on the web and Seattle

This doesn’t need to look like a guide even though it involves a few practical steps

Warning

Personal trainers do not want to date their clients for professional reasons, so sparking their passion would be a very naughty thing to do.

How to Date a Personal Trainer

WHAT YOU DO WITH THIS INFORMATION IS NONE OF MY BUSINESS

1. Be there to train and to workout 

People come in many shapes and sizes, so let your personality shine as you work hard to improve your fitness.

2. Proximity and showing signs of availability 

This is common sense. If you give more time and opportunity to interaction, then at least you can test the waters. Stay around and stretch after class or when the person has a break.

3. Exercise and be fit together

Whether you want to be the workout partner or perhaps you get off on being told what to do, working out together is a great way to get excited about each other.

Don’t look too deep into it

Personal trainers often have outgoing personalities since they have many opportunities for banter.

Thank you for reading this article and stay tuned…

Set records, achieve personal bests and feel good about your health and fitness through exercise

Achievement through fitness

Through my career in fitness, I have met many achievement oriented individuals. Additionally, I have met real people with less than ambitious hobbies.

Validation vs. achievement

Most people want to be looked at positively in the eyes of others. If at times, you felt without others, it’s great to re-establish and find new connections. If you want people to find you physically attractive, perhaps you would select an outfit that looks fitting and appropriate for the occasion so that you can feel confident in your appearance.

Performance based goals

Your exercise program must include progressive resistance. There are unlimited ways in which you could practice your body through resistance training. Free-weights are common tools across the world for developing skill and strength in movement patterns.

I made this makeshift sled at my last gym. Furniture sliders and some steps which a pvc pipe to keep the weights in placed. This is conditioning that destroys fat everywhere.

Morning sled push session. This conditioning exercise destroys fat everywhere.

Practically speaking, you want to make progress in activities that make you move hard. Work hard with your pushing and your pulling and your hinging and your squatting.

All out intensity

Start optimizing your lifestyle. By gaining strength, speed, and power then you will achieve personal bests. Then you will have begun to alter the course of your body’s lifeline by activating your healthier genetic identity.
