Kettle Bell-Dumbbells New Rage

The New Rage 

It seems that the new rage in the gym today is kettle bell swings and/or dumbbell lifts. Both are great in the gym or at home. 

No matter which one you decide to try remember to always use a weight lite enough at first then adjust as your muscles become stronger. Beginners often see advance lifters with heavy weights and their ego takes them to a place that their body can’t handle. If you really after better health with little or no down time from injuries set a plan and stick with it. There are many trainers that will give you advice…just ask one.   Remember, the objective should always be to improve your condition not build your ego. Your ego doesn’t need weights to grow.

Fall Fitness Tip

 

 

Going into fall, it’s good time to switch up routines. 

Doing the same thing doesn't help the body. Your body is smarter than you think. If you don't change up routines your inner-works get used to what it and adjust areas to make it easier to do. By changing up the body can't shift and get settled. This means more gains in muscles and less stress on joints and tendons.

Fitness Trends

Trends and fades come and go. 

Solid old routines have and always will be best for form, fit and recovery.

 I’m not saying change is not good but change has to make sense.

Good changes 

Change times to workout 

Change up your routines

Change where you workout 

Change sets and reps

Remember unless you are training to compete you should learn to enjoy your workouts. If you dread everyday doing something, eventually your mind will always look to convince you to stop. Find routines that encourage you each day. 

When in doubt always consult an experienced trainer.

Good Gym Etiquette

What is Good Gym Etiquette?

First off,
I hate to use the phrase "Use common-sense." 

it is greatly overused in our speaking today. Common sense is not as common as it should be anymore. I'm using it here with some risk but please try and apply some in your thinking and see if what you feel is listed.

 Sportswriter, Anthony J. Yeung, has posted thirteen things

 to avoid while in the any gym. I have read all of them and this one sticks out more than all of them. 

Here's my list of what is important to me right now. 

1.

 Don't use a mat or bench without cleaning it before and after used. Dirty stretching mats and exercise benches sometimes contain viruses, bacteria, and fungi. If your cut or scrape touches these germ-infested surfaces.

2.
 Don't give unsolicited advice or start a chatty conversation with someone busy.
Avoid giving unsolicited advice in the gym for two reasons. 

      They will tend to act defensive and reject your criticism. 

     Your advice could be wrong.

Unless their technique is threatening themselves and/or others, avoid giving advice.

 If you really want to help, however, become their friend first.

3.
 Don't shower without flip-flops

you must protect yourself from the bacteria present in shower 

stalls, regardless of your gym’s sanitation standards. If you shower 

at the gym, buy some cheap sandals and keep them in your gym bag.

Kettle Bell Workout

 

This is a great quick full-body workout 

By Caroline Girvan 

Pace Yourself

Starting out or starting over, 

the one thing to remember

Don't quit!
You can do it!

This is normally about the time that most new or returning fitness club members stop and never return. Don't give up. It is not easy to keep going but if you continue to push through (believe me)  you will be much more pleased with yourself than if you quit now. Keep going. Change the routine in some way to keep motivated, give yourself rewards for completing a day or week. Just do what ever you have to do to keep going.

Most people quit now because of three reasons:

1. They start out too fast.
2. They try and do too much
3.A partner quits

Rarely is because of money or real health issues. All three reason have to do with your way of thinking and not because of anything physical. Sore muscles will get better with time. Remember that you didn't get out of shape over night. So you definitely won't get into shape in that short of time.

FitnessTip: Progress Is Slow

 

🗣 Progress is Slow

Being honest with you …Your progress will never catch up with your early enthusiasm. 

Set your mind to work on a long term fitness goal for good health, changes will not show on a daily basis… don’t get discouraged

 Others will notice your growth before you do. That's why it is important to start out with a healthy mindset, Keep determined and learn your individual body. Genetics can’t be changed and some people really have to work harder than others to achieve the same goals (much like in school.)

 Give yourself at least three months of consistent work before making drastic changes about your workout routine. 

 

Remember,🏋🏽‍♀️

 

*You didn't get out of shape in a day and neither will the change in a day.

 

It's important to stick with a routine that is constantly changing, and stimulating to your muscles to get the best result. No matter whether you are looking to pile on muscles or shed pounds your body wants to stay at the comfort level. That comfort level is where you are now.

So to stimulate growth or reduce fat cells you have to🏅

 

1. start (Workout.)

 

2. Keep a positive attitude.

 

3. Make it fun but stimulating.

 

4. Change it up (at least every other week) 

 

5. Give yourself daily weekly and monthly Rewards  

 

6. Keep conversations in the gym to a minimum.

 

7. Repeat 1-6

 

 

Fitness should be a life goal. Let's face it, most of us will never run a triathlon, do a Cross-fit competition or become the Ninja Worrier . If you do Good for You. Most of us are looking to have a long healthy life in a shape that keeps us away from doctors. So, don't start out burning the candle on both ends. The older we get we should learn to work smarter to get the results that youth needs the extra energy for.

Keep it positive, enjoy and encourage someone else today.

Fitness Goals

Life is so much better when the vessel you are using is in good condition. Like any machine, automobile, plane, boat, etc., it has to be in use to perform well. 

No matter what type of workout plan you use, the only one that actually works is the one that you actually do. 

What you have to remember when you begin, start over or comeback to, don’t over think, over -do or overload your workout. 

To keep going, keep your workouts fun. Remember you are not competing for a prize , your prize should be a more healthy life. 

Grow , Encourage, Enjoy Life.

Get It Done

Get It Done 

“Don’t Quit”

 

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,

When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,

When the funds are low but the debts are high,

And you want to smile but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit,

Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.

Life is strange with its twists and turns,

As every one of us sometimes learns,

And many failures turn about

When we might have won had we stuck it out.

Don’t give up though the pace seems slow –

You may succeed with another blow.

 

Success is failure turned inside out –

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,

You can never tell how close you are,

It may be near when it seems so far;

So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit –

It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.
