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!!

Dry run on P90X

I am doing some dry runs on P90X. I have the Under 16 Challenge Cup to coach in next week. So starting in November I will start P90X have the pics taken and the fitness test down.

Today I am going to do a dry run with Chest and Back. I have the pullup bar installed, taken my protein drink and I am ready to GO! Let the Pain begin – Bring IT Tony Horton!

Okay so I did Chest and Back about 30 minutes ago. Yes its tough, thank God I did P90 before!
Review:
Push Ups – Did average of 15 for each exercise – dive bombers max at about 9 – loved the push ups.
Pull Ups – Only could do 1 to 3 on my own then used the chair. I did a total of 10 reps for all pullups. I will increase this number next time thru.
Ab Ripper X – What a mess. I can not do many of the exercises. Climbing my leg I cant even do. I have so much work to do here. It was frustrating. Considering I can get thru the P90 level 3-4 with out breaks. I cant see how a person who is completely out of shape can work thru this work. For the ones that do – my hat is off to you!!!!!

When Tony says take your supplements – I always think “stop selling your products”. I agree!, get a recovery drink, protein powder and vitamins. This is much more then just visiting your local gym or doing a simple yoga class. Eat right and do what you can. Tomorrow Plyo. I cant wait!

Don’t Wait To Get Flat Abs-The Health Benefits May Surprise You

A sizeable percentage of individuals today have an excessive quantity of ab fat? For the majority of people, this hindrance is thought of merely as a superficial problem, and therefore is typically overlooked. People may be a bit self-conscious about revealing their body to others but that is where the topic stops. People think that having flat abs is only about looks.
Regrettably, most folks don’t realize that large amounts of body fat over the abdomen is not only unattractive, it is also a powerful risk factor to your wellbeing. Scientific studies have plainly shown that although it is unhealthy in general to have additional body fat all through your body; it is also especially unsafe to have extra abdominal fat.
There are two types of fat that you have in your abdominal area. Subcutaneous fat is what is on the outer part of your abdominal, keeping your abs from being flat and defined.
The second type of fat that you have in your abdominal area is called visceral fat, and that lies deeper in the abdomen beneath your muscle and surrounding your organs. Visceral fat also contributes to the “beer belly” men get where their belly sticks out a lot while still feeling a bit hard.
Both subcutaneous fat and visceral fat in the abdominal area are important health risk cocerns, but science has shown that having undue visceral fat is even more risky than subcutaneous fat. Both of them greatly raise the risk your risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, sleep apnea, various forms of cancer, and other degenerative diseases.
Part of the reason visceral fat is particularly hazardous is that it seemingly releases more inflammatory molecules into your body on a regular basis.
If you care about the quality of your life and your loved ones, reducing your abdominal fat should be one of your TOP priorities! There’s just no way around it. What’s more, a great side-effect of ultimately reducing your abdominal fat is flatter, sexier abs. You may even get the six pack abs you have always wanted.
So what gets rid of extra abdominal fat? Is there actually a REAL solution beyond all of the gimmicks and hype that you see in ads and on commercials for “miracle” fat loss products?
The first thing you must be familiar with is that there is unquestionably NO quick fix resolution. There are no pills or supplements of any kind that will aid you to lose your abdominal fat sooner. in addition, none of the ridiculous “flat abs” machines will help you reduce abdominal fat because only targeting the abdominal muscles does not get rid of the fat, it only tones the muscles and leaves the fat covering the abs. It simply doesn’t work that way.
The ONLY key to a consistent basis lose your abdominal fat and make it stays gone forever is to combine a thorough nutritious eating plan full of unprocessed natural foods with a well planned exercise agenda that stimulates the necessary hormonal and metabolic response within your body. Both your food intake as well as your training program are important if you are to get this right.
I’ve actually even seen a particular study that separated thousands of people into a diet-only group and an exercise/diet group. While both groups in this study made worthy progress, the diet-only group lost significantly LESS abdominal fat than the diet & exercise combined group.
You must understand that not all types of exercise will give you results. working out effectively enough to really stimulate the loss of stubborn abdominal fat. I see this everyday at the gym.
Generally, people will do your typical boring and ineffective cardio workouts, throw in a little outdated body-part style weight training, and pencil in a bit of some crunches and side bends, and suppose that they are doing something helpful for dropping their abdominal fat. Then, after weeks and months with no worth-while change, they get upset and .
Well, the good news is that their is a tested and proven way to stimulate abdominal fat loss and get flat abs fast.
The entire fat loss strategy… all of the nutritional components, the simple exercise plan, and more have all been brought together in a sensible and easy to understand program.
Keep in mind, that the purpose of this whole program is NOT abdominal exercises (that is only a very small portion of it). The main point of this instruction is revealing to you the absolute most effective strategies for losing your stubborn abdominal fat, so you can get rid of that serious health risk, and get flat abs and a slimmer wasteline.
If you abide by the simple strategies, you WILL get a flatter stomach and lose your belly fat that has been hanging on you for years. This is not difficult… it is a proven system that works without fail for everyone on every corner of the globe who genuinely apply the information contained within. If you apply it, the results will come. It’s really that simple.
The only reason most people fail in their fitness goals is that they have good intentions in the beginning to adopt a new lifestyle, yet in a few weeks or months, they throw in the towel and slide back into their old bad habits that made them fat to begin with.
I truly want to help you with getting rid of that excess ab fat that is not only uncofortable and unsightly, but also threatens your fitness.
Don’t waste another day allowing that nasty abdominal fat to block your confidence as well as contribute to your risk for MAJOR diseases.
Get the answer to rid yourself for life of this problem.
