Introduction to the Gym




If you’ve never stepped foot inside a gym this should help you get started.

First, what are your goals?  Weight loss time frame?  Toning up time schedule and eating plan?

Also, women’s section are my go to.  I fall in love being around all the women who also are making a change and doing exercises that yeah we all probably hate (except me) but we all are giving each other support.

But the only support that is the best for me is being social and talking to my teammates, coach and fitness family.  We’re social creatures and going to the gym alone and especially working in the women’s section will not help you get out and meet new people.  I would highly consider joining a Bootcamp or any classes and style of exercising that can give you an approach to actually talk with people rather than just to go and work out.

Also, bringing a gym bag with everything you need.  Not what everyone is using and drinking and wearing BUT what works with you.
Bag:
Water
Gloves
Headphones
Hand Sanitize 
Gym
Hair tie, headband
Sweat towel
Extra $ in case you HAVE to eat or drink ASAP at the gym.

A lot of beginners do not eat enough and crash very fast which overwhelms and scares a lot of people, but just arriving to the gym and doing 15-20 minutes of easy cardio for your 1st week...YOUVE WON!!!

Now from there add extra reps of machines or do extra a little here or there EACH WEEK and do not increase weight until you’ve worked out a schedule 2-3 times a week for ONE MONTH STRAIGHT!

Find friends, say hi to women you see on a regular basis, put out a post looking for gym sisters and allow yourself to feel uncomfortable.

It took me over a year and a half working out with my trainer and teammates before I really felt comfortable going into the gym by myself.  So be easy on a walk not a sprint making your life working out as a beginner in the gym.

My 2nd Day Of Social Media Detox

Image
I woke up 4am.  Was out the door at 8am and the bank and print business weren’t open till 9am.  So I went to the gas station to fill up and then went home and walked the dogs.  Boy, all the time I have. Today I printed my new business cards, picked up my latest edition of New Mind, New You Book, consigned some clothes at Buffalo Clothing Exchange, posted a few items for sale on Facebook Marketplace, blogged on my website, went grocery shopping at Wal-Mart, went to LVAC for calves, abs and cardio and even had enough time to was able to go home to Gene and go over our day and just hanging out for a bit before bedtime. I am in amazement over having almost no anxiety.  That’s a biggest part I see.  Also not wasting time scrolling, posting or writing content and really finishing my day doing serious constructive activities to make a living.  I'm also not needing to take pictures of everything I see or am doing thinking that it would make a good ...

What is Whey and Caesin Protein? Dairy protein supplements best selling 2 source of protein powders on the market. How do these powerhouses compare?  Both are complete proteins with amino acids and easily digested by 97% in the body.  Both are extremely popular but don’t share the same benefits. Whey-  their digestion faster rate to reach amino acids higher and reach blood faster Caesin-with a curdling effect is slower up to 8 hours in the body and slowly digested. Lucien is a amino binding syntheses and has more immediate to the body with whey and spikes blood sugars higher but Caesin carries more protein syntheses is also leaves the blood elevated up to 36 hours which releases less Lucien levels than whey. So which one is the best one to take? Caesin focused on protein breakdown with less luecin but whey has a faster generated effect to effect muscle gains in a quicker process.  So yes, whey is a short part more faster to recover but ...

What’s Your Mandala Look Like?

What would your Mandala look like?    What colors and shapes would you choose?  How would it represent you? Color therapy is real. It’s defined as Chromotherapy. But let’s go into details about what a Mandala is and how it defines and represents you. A mandala is an integrated structure organized around a unified center.  From the classical Indian word “Sanskrit” And loosely translated to mean “Circle” but a mandala is far more than just a circle.  It represents wholeness, and can be seen as a organize structure to represent the meaning of life.  A mandala diagrams the infinite meaning into our soul and representatives a dream into our being both in this world and past that to what we cannot see.
