MUSCLE ACTIVATION April 9, 2012
BODY IN MOTION
Due to stress, trauma , overuse or dehydration the body can easily move into a state of protection. This is ultimately to prevent the body from further injury. However, if a prolonged period of time is spent in a protective state the body will learn new compensation patterns that leave muscle tissue unused or working inefficiently. Prolonged use of compensation patterns can lead to a sensation of tightness or pain and create uneven forces on the joints of the body. Over time this can progress into endless limitations.
Constantly moving in a place of protection can decrease everyday mobility and range of motion in any sport. Muscle Activation allows the body the ability to achieve optimal levels of function without further discomfort or injury by increasing the body's muscular alignment, restoring muscular function, and eliminating compensation patterns.
Why move in a constant state of protection when you CAN have the freedom to move?

Commitment
January 9, 2012(CLICK TO EXPAND)
"It's not about motivation. Motivation is temporary. It's about COMMITMENT!"
- Craig Harper
Now you must be confused. Didn't I say last week it was all about motivation? But this week it's about commitment. Which one is it? Well, it's both. Anybody can be motivated today, but not tomorrow. You have to find something to get motivated about...and then commit. This is when you separate yourself from everyone else.
Even in the rain you can still get a great workout. Don't let the weather side-track your success.
In-Home 100
Everything is done in 100 reps. There is no rest. All 100 reps must be executed in each exercise before advancing to the next exercise. If you need a break within your 100 reps you may add:
Jogging in place
Jumping Jacks
Jump Rope
Wall Sits
Planks
Jogging up and down stairs
You may use these cardio rests for as long as you need to recover and finish your 100 reps.
Here are your 100 Rep Exercises:
Mountain Climbers
Walking Lunges
Push Ups
Body Weight Squats
Dips
Skiers
Calf Raises
Bicycles
Double Leg Raise
Crunches
Good Luck!
GET MOTIVATED & COMMIT!
Motivation
January 2, 2012(CLICK TO EXPAND)
"People who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocrity, no matter how impressive their other talents."
- Andrew Carnegie
It is the new year. Time for a new challenge. It is so easy to get caught up in all of the holiday parties. With all of the additional social commitments, eating out and family functions it is easy to lose sight of what is important to YOU. Or even what was important to YOU.
Now is the time to focus on you again. Let's get back in the game. Do not become discouraged because you fell off the wagon for a minute. Jump back on and get back to that healthy path.
Toss the leftovers. Get back to your healthy eating plan. Revisit your passions. Join a new class. Sign up for a race or competition. Challenge a friend or family member to join you. It is always easier to stick to something if you have a companion.
Find it within YOU! Get motivated! 2012 is going to be the year for a stronger, healthier, happier YOU!
The 12 Days of Fitness
December 19, 2011(CLICK TO EXPAND)
I have a little challenge for everyone as we are approaching the holiday festivities and the New Year. This challenge can be executed a few different ways depending on your fitness level. You can even add the extra and sing along.
Opportunities...
1. You may execute the exercise dedicated to each day, on that day.
2. You may pick a random day and do them all at once.
3. Or you may go traditional and add each day as the song progresses. This would make a 12 day challenge with a new challenge added to the list each day.
The 12 Days Of Fitness My Trainer Gave To Me
1 Minute Mountain Climber
2 Minute Jumprope...(Jumping Jacks if no rope available)
3 Dozen Burpees...(Exploding from a full push up, to your feet, and jumping straight up)
4 D Walking Lunges...(4D = 40)
5 Hundred Crunches
6 Teen Push Ups...(=16)
7 Teen Squat Jumps...(=17)
8 1-leg Planks...(Alternating 8 seconds per leg for 8 repetitions)
9 D Second Wall Sit...(90 seconds sitting on wall, knees & hip 90 degrees)
10 Second Sprints...(10sec sprint/10sec walk * 10 sprints)
11 Minutes Jogging
12 Exploding Split Jumps...(Exploding from left leg lunge to right leg lunge)
Good Luck! Happy Holidays!
