Most people call eating bad or unhealthy a cheat meal. This cheat meal then turns into a cheat day, and
that cheat day can be temptation to cheat your whole diet. Mentally eliminate
calling these meals “cheat meals”. The word cheat is associated with doing bad
and human nature then associates good tasting food as a bad and develops urges
for this food. Mentally instead of sticking to a diet you start anticipating
the cheat meal, and that can cause you to completely abandon your diet for
something as small as chocolate chip cookie. Refer to these meals as a “rest
meal”. Much like a rest day these meals are for relaxing after a long workout. Most athletes and hardcore trainers believe
in no rest days. This mind set makes them train harder and longer. Referring to
a cheat meal as a rest meal associates that meal rest and rest should only be
done after hard work. So work hard and earn your rest meal.

Breakfast should be the biggest meal of the day. Eating a
big breakfast will give your body the nourishment it needs to carry yourself
through the day as well as allow your body enough time to burn that huge meal
off.

The scale will lie to you 100% of the time when you are
trying to lose or gain weight. You should be focused on how you look in the
mirror and how you feel rather the numbers on a scale.

A great way to add some additional difficulty to your
routines is to switch from using the rep system to time limits. The way you do
this is to take any workout you are doing and throw out the number of reps you
plan to do. Grab a timer (one with an alarm. Most phones have them now.), set
it for 1 minute and do 3 sets at 1 minute each. Your workout will seem brand
new and your body will change immediately.

1. Confidence is contagious
2. I'm so strong the weights thank me after I leave the
gym.
3. I'm so fast I challenged a cheetah to a foot race and
it faked an ankle injury.
4. People tell me I jump high. I don't jump high I just
haven't mastered flying yet.
5. I'm so strong I gave an elephant a piggyback ride up
hill.
6. He so strong he doesn't do pull ups he pulls the earth
down.
7. I'm so fast I beat my shadow in a foot race.

By now everyone has heard of the benefits of yoga. Increased
flexibility, range of motion, better well being and more. The real reason yoga
is the best workout to add to any regime is that it flat out makes you
stronger. Yoga doesn’t just stretch your
muscles; it strengthens the little muscles that are used in assisting the major
muscles that build strength. For example, the downward dog position allows you
to stretch your hamstrings, calves and back while allowing these muscles to
lengthen and produce more power when running or jumping. |

Most people who are new to working out either have no idea
what they're doing or want to try things they have no business doing. A lot of
money can be wasted on a gym membership if you go in the gym with the wrong
info. The best way to get started on your fitness path and get prepared for the
gym is to start with the basics. The
basics are push ups, squats, crunches and running/walking. These activities can
be done anywhere and mastered in under a month if you are a beginner. Mastering these activities will prepare you
for high intensity routines faster and lower your risk of injury. Do these
basic exercises 3 to 5 days a week and you will be fit in no time as well as
ready to challenge your body further.

Old school body building taught the method of "locking
out" when you finish a weight lifting set. This method was used to show
that you can control the weight from start to finish. What it actually does is
destroys your joints. Locking joint breaks down the cartilage in the joint by
grinding it out of the body every time the two bones connect (locking out). To
avoid future problems such as walking with cane or a lifetime of chronic joint
pains keep your joints bent during workouts.

In sports being ambidextrous gives you a huge advantage over the competition. Being ambidextrous also helps stop muscle imbalances. Most of us have a dominant hand and leg which causes us to be off balance. People with dominant hands also physically have a bigger arm and leg than the opposite side. The fast way to becoming ambidextrous is to do only single arm or leg exercises (for example one arm dumbbell curls or single leg squats). Close your eyes while training your weak side to mentally train your body to develop that side. |
