Hard work does not necessarily equal success...
in life or in the gym.
It is undeniable that the majority of adults work very hard at what they do for a living,
but would you consider the same number of people 'successful' ? No, probably not- at least
not by our society's current standards.
Busboys work hard, the guys that do my landscaping work hard, but I'm not exactly envious of their career path- but I do respect their level of commitment.
The same holds true for success in the gym. There are plenty of people that spend an hour or more in the gym 3-5 days a week, and don't achieve the goals they set out for themselves.
It's not for a lack of trying, that's for sure. What they are failing to do, in most cases, is to train using programs scientifically designed to improve integration and synchronization of the whole body.
Failure to follow a scientifically proven strategy in the gym, will inevitably lead to a lack of improvement in performance, weight loss ect. The predictable downfall is abandonment of strength and conditioning to improve results. For most people, cardiovascular training
is not enough to reach their goals (whether they be aesthetic or performance related).
Programming and scientific strategy is the key to success, and one way in which a good personal trainer earns his keep.
That being said, I will now be offering Internet-based training.

Build stamina and muscle...
There's a reason professional athletes such as NFL players and mixed martial artists can compete for long periods of times without getting.
Despite burning all that energy, they tend to not lose significant muscle mass.
Thats because high intensity exercises done in short bursts cause your body to release anabolic hormones that help burn fat and build muscle, while still strengthening your heart and lungs.
One of the best sample activity to build your wind without losing muscle is sprinting.
A good way to ease your way into sprints is :
1 min. - walk
1 min - 5 mph
1 min - walk
1min - 5.5 mph
1 min - walk
1 min. - 6mph
1 - min - walk
1 min. - 6.5 mph
1 min. - walk
1 min. - 7 mph
3 mins walk.
If you have not recovered after 1 minute of walking, allow yourself more time to catch your breathe.
After a few workouts increase intensity (mph or incline) and/or number of sprints.
.
Train smart. Train hard

Stress and physical activity...
In a recent gallup poll 80% of US employees say they feel stressed on the job; nearly half of them say that they need help learning to manage stress; and 42% said that their coworkers need help managing stress.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention state unequivocally that 80% of our medical expenditures, are now stress-related.
Nearly two-thirds of adults in America are overweight ( have a Body Mass Index greater than 25).
More than 50% of do not get enough physical activity to provide health benefits, 24% are not active at all in their leisure time.

The LIfebuilder's Creed
Today is the most important day of my life.
Yesterday with its successes and victories, struggles and failures
is gone forever.
The past is the past.
Done.
Finished.
I cannot relive it. I cannot go back and change it.
But I will learn from it and improve my Today.
Today. This moment. NOW.
It is God's gift to me, and it is all that I have.
Tomorow with all its joys and sorrows, triumphs and troubles
isnt here yet.
Indeed tomorow may never come.
Therefore, I will not worry about tomorrow.
Today is what God has entrusted to me.
It is all that I have. I will do my best in it.
I will demonstrate the best of me in it-
my character, giftedness and abilities-
to my family, my friends clients and associates.
I will identify those things that are most important
to do TODAY,
and those things I will do until they are done
I will look back with satisfaction at
that which I have accomplished.
Then, only then will I plan my tomorow,
Looking to improve upon Today, with God's help.
Then I shall sleep in peace. Content

How to watch TV better...
1. Drink water - While youre mind is being occupied by the TV, you wont care as much about satisfying your taste buds, so it should be easy to properly hydrate.
2. Eat nuts - walnuts, hazelnuts and almonds are best. The monosaturated fats in them keep your ateries clear and up your serotonin- wich improves mood.
3. Exert yourself - Do ten pushups during every commercial break. Youll take advantage of of boring dowtime and reduce the amount of TV you watch.
4. Stretch - take time do some static stretching to keep your muscles from stiffening, chances are you sit enough at work already.
