Les Mills Pump and Shredded me!

Good evening, Shellie and I completed Les Mill Pump and Shred just before supper! I have yesterday off because my body was completely messed up. My muscles and mind were struggling to complete any task. I ate very well and had a great 7 hour sleep. I have been drinking much more water in the last week and I feel a big difference overall. My energy has been more consistent through out the day, not the huge drop around 3 pm. My body feels more alert and strong then in the past. I also commend taking shakeology. Just adds so many nutrients into my system that typically would never have with my normally healthy diet. So,  I feel much better today!


The work was fantastic tonight. I was strong and focused throughout the workout. I pushed hare through each track. I had to stop for a couple seconds for rest in the chest, back, lunge and shoulder tracks. I have no issue with this as went to failure in each track with now lowering my weight. I added weight to the back and shoulder tracks. The ab track was solid, took my time and felt the burn! Overall, very happy with this workout, the day off helped!

We both took the energy and endurance formula before we did Les Mills Pump and Shred! Shellie also had supper already made prior to the workout. I was Quinoa with mixed veggies. It was fantastic! She mixed the Quinoa in with peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, garlic powder and chicken broth. She mixed it all together and we topped it off with either hot sauce or salsa! Yummy! Great meal to have right after a workout. I will finish of the night with Tropical shakeology!

I made good choices today and I feel strong and I feel healthy! Have a great night!

Narrow those Supplement Choices

Image

One of the most frequent questions I am asked by  athletes I train, parents and my general customers,  what supplements should I take? It is not an easy answer, as each individual requires different amounts and types of supplements. The supplement business is a billion dollar business. What that means to you is there are abundant of choices to pick from.

If you have a trainer or coach, they need to help guide you. They should ask a series of questions to help determine what you need. If they don’t ask you any questions, and they request you take this supplement or that supplement, they may not have your best interest at heart! Other scenario which is what happened to me years ago, was going into a supplement store. You walk in and your instantly over whelmed with the amount of different products lined on the shelves. What do I chose? What make one product better then other? Egg protein or Whey protein? So the attendant in my case asked me one question, what are you looking for? I said protein powder! Then he proceeded to take me to a very large tub of egg protein, with in minutes, I left the store with egg protein. To this day I have no idea if it helped my fitness. I am sure this has happened to  you at some point in your fitness journey!

So your asking yourself, what are the questions I should be asking? Great question! Here are a list of questions I ask my clients:

  1. What or are you taking any supplements now? If yes, do you feel they are effective? Why are you taking them?
  2. Do you skip meals? Do you eat out 3-4 times per week? What types of food do you eat?
  3. How busy is your schedule? Kids?
  4. Do you play sports? Practices? Games?
  5. How many times a week do you work out? The level of intensity? What type of workouts?
  6. Are you proactive in organizing your supplement routine?
  7. Are you allergic to milk or soy products? Do you prefer Gluten free product?

The list above is just a sample, as you may have many different type of questions depending on the client. Its important you drill down to what they really need. You must  take the time to ask these questions and listen carefully to what they say. Pay close attention to the type of foods they eat and physical activity (if any) that they partake in.

Supplements should only be used to help support their nutrition, it is never a replacement. So please make sure your client is versed on proper eating habits, were the majority of their nutrients are coming from wholesome food! Nothing will replace naturally healthy foods!

Quick Tip – Everyone’s taste are different when using a shake supplement. Some tips I recommend is to mix the shake for 1 to 2 minutes. Also, add food such as mango, bananas or blueberries to increase flavor and add nutrients.

Work Out – Les Mills Abs and Tony Horton 1 on 1 Yoga “Patience Little Humming Bird”

Image

Sorry for the late update on the workout today. Both son’s had hockey games and we went to a haunted trail walk with the kids to night then off to have supper! So very busy day.

Les Mills Pump ab workout was great. My core has increased in strength very rapidly in the last 6 months. I have a better idea how to activate my abs to isolate them better! Like anything you must practice and practice and over time the ‘good’ changes start to happen! This is the point I am at right now.

The yoga work out was above average. I started out with poor focus and breathing was not where it needed to be. As the workout went along my focus was much sharper. I still have trouble with the flexibility parts of the workout. I find yoga works the muscle in such a different fashion then other workouts. Your body is in constant flow when the body is not moving the muscles are contracted in a pose. By the time your done the 35 minute workout you are feeling tired.

Tonight was the first time in roughly 4 weeks that I ate a cheat meal at Fat Burger. I was feeling sick as I was eating the meal, just not use to that type of food anymore. I was a amazed at how fast I reacted to it. At this moment I could drink a pool of water. The amount of salt was horrendous. I would take shakeology over that meal any day.

Tomorrow is Core Cardio and Balance. Other busy day as I have video session and two 1 on 1 training sessions! Time for bed!!
