Benefits of Resistance Training






ECONOMICAL- Versatile resistance exercises provided with my Booty Bands provide the means to safely improve muscular strength, endurance, range of motion, and flexibility.  You can shape, tone and add beautiful definition to your entire body.

 VERSATILE- Resistance bands are economical and an inexpensive alternative to weights and expensive equipment.  The benefit to tracking and monitoring your strength at home with resistance bands allow an easier approach with coaches and clients to communicate.

 PORTABLE AND LIGHTWEIGHT- Unlimited possible uses.  Easy to pack, take on the go while traveling, working or even in your purse or gym bag.

 PRACTICAL TIPS

 -When performing your exercise program, work the muscles throughout the full range of motion.  Do not lock the joints.  

 -To prevent bands from sliding up the leg, maintain the natural width of the band.  

 -Men should wear long socks so bands don't pull on leg hair.
TRAINING GUIDELINES

 If you have a history of back problems, Carpel Tunnel Syndrome or any other upper extremity cumulative trauma disorders, you should consult your physician or physical therapist to prescribe certain exercises.

 Be sure to warm up first with some whole body activities such as marching in place, jumping jacks or walking.

 Try to work the muscles throughout the full range of motion.

Avoid hyperextending and locking the joints.

 It is important to breathe while strengthening.  Exhale during the first or most difficult phase.

 Control your movements and be sure that your body is aligned, with shoulders square, relax your knees and hold in your abdominal.

 For a Toal workout, use your exercise bands to strength train as a part of your aerobic cool down.

 SAFETY

 Exercise bands can cause serious injury if not used properly.

 Do not use bands in any manner that may cause hyperextension.

 Since the MDFit bands are made with a very tough micro fabric material you never have to worry about nicks or tearing. 
CARE

  Make sure to keep your bands in the container bag they come with.

 If exercise in chlorinated water with the bands, please be sure to wash them in a gentle cycle in your laundry machine or just rinse thoroughly under water and let air dry.
WHAT EXERCISES TO DO WITH BOOTY BANDS

HIP ABDUCTION/OUTER THIGH PRESS (Hip Abductors)

 Start with feet 3-4 inches apart and keep one leg of foot planted (exercise can be done standing or lying down) while keeping back straight.  Return slowly and repeat.  Repeat with opposite leg.

L
LEG EXTENSIONS (QUADRICEPS)

 Exercise can also be done sitting in a chair but extending out into a 90 degree angle with toes pointed straight to the ceiling, slowly raise leg.  Do not lock knees.  Hold and slowly return to starting position.  

 Hope you have found this Booty Bands guide effective to seeing the benefits into starting your own resistance training!  Find more support on my IG @Michelledavisfitness and on Facebook Michelle Davis Fitness and Michelle Davis Fitness Support Group.

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.

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.

I got offered a position at KSHP Radio!

Since I have not been on social media for 3 days I have been thinking about all the online work I used to do in radio as a VOA and Radio Broadcaster.   I really enjoyed the face to face connections I did back at KLAV1230am and VANR Online and the relationships part is what I hold very dear to my heart.  Since my family is in Ca and I don't have kids, my family tends to be the people I spend the most of my time with in and out of the gym.  This part of finding my true career path has lead me to where I am today but I still know that with my time and energy that there is more for me to pursue to making more of an income.  So, today as I was driving down Jones heading to my chiropractor at Canyon Lake Neck and Back, I passed by KLAV, an old radio station I was training at years ago and had a thought that I should stop in and say hi.  Overtime I've driven by there on my way for my back adjustment and something tells me to go back in there, so today I did....
