Fitness Myths by Paulin Nordin

Fitness Tip

Myth list for training

We are coming up on the busiest month for gyms.

Before getting too deeply involved in trends and hot fades 

take the time to read a list of sayings and thoughts that are simply dead wrong. 

MYTH 27: A PROTEIN BAR IS A GOOD SUBSTITUTION FOR A MEAL

TRUTH: Nope. Protein bars are highly processed, unless you make them yourself. Highly processed food requires fewer calories to digest, so that benefit is diminished. I love protein bars, but I eat them as treats to be eaten instead of, say, a Snickers bar.

Myth 29: Carbs are found only in bread and noodles

TRUTH: Wrong. You also find carbs in grains, starches, fruit, vegetables, dairy, nuts, and seeds.

Myth 46: The only way to lose weight is by cutting out all carbs

TRUTH: The only way to lose the right amount of weight is by adopting a diet than supports your goal, training with weights, and doing some cardio. Your program should include all of these aspects long enough to see a difference. Diet, weights, and cardio—the holy trinity of fitness!

Too Soon

 

Hey there fitness lovers!

Before starting your fitness journey,

let me share some helpful thoughts.

 There’s no rush to begin; start whenever you feel ready. 

But remember, commitment is key.

*When exercising, choose activities you enjoy and that don’t make you too uncomfortable. Pain and discomfort differ; a good trainer guides you through discomfort rather than pushing through pain.

*Cardio should be done after weightlifting, not vice versa.

 Advanced lifters may split workouts, 

but beginners should stick to one session for motivation and recovery.

Here are additional tips for beginners:

- Start with light weights and avoid competition.

- Allow your body to adjust to pulling, pushing, and stretching for at least two months.

(Muscles have memory but if you never put in the work they have none.)

- Remember, lifestyle changes should be gradual; take your time and enjoy the process.

Embrace the fitness journey.

My Favorite Jazz Spot

A small intimate live music spot tucked in a corner of a shopping plaza in Hilton Head Island has had and will have some international talent come through. I have never been dissatisfied with the dinner or  the talent. 

If you are able to get reservations reserve it.

Palm Springs Mountain Tour

Who would have thought that there is snow in the desert. Eight thousand feet above sea level in the desert the weather takes a drastic change. It changes from 80 degrees and pools below to 40 degrees and white clean snow. 

An interesting tram ride on cables sway back and forward and up and up to the peak. 

Enjoy a day of adventures high above the desert sands below. 

The most spectacular view to be seen. 

 

Safe Travels

 May everyone have safe travels and may God give you blessings throughout the holidays.
