Eyes on the prize.

Its been awhile since i’ve made a post. Since i’ve gotten out of the army, I’ve ran into numerous obstacles its not even funny. The important thing is i keep pushing until I’m satisfied. Im definitely on track. Just recently got in touch with a good coach for this year. I am so pumped about it. I took a break for about a month when i left to Tennessee, but i am back into the groove of things. It was good to give my body a break. Big things ahead for me. Just have to be patient.

Todays workout – Chest Day!

“You can’t do this if you’re not dedicated and determined, and have a strong faith. Because it’s extremely hard, especially trying to work a job and do it.” – 8X Mr. Olympia Ronnie Coleman

   I worked out on chest today with 2 clients. I felt so weak! We started it out with bench press on the seated machine, and got all the way up to 275. I was pretty warmed up after that. We followed that exercise with the following: 

Incline Bench Press, Dumbell Flys, Dumbell Pullovers, then decline press. In between each set, i held my hands and squeezed each part of my chest, from lower to upper. My chest is already feeling it. I just had my post workout meal, and my shake.

Top 10 ways to kick start your gym life

Now that the holidays are done, and over with. Its time to evaluate where we are physically, and figure out how much we would like to improve. Here’s 10 tips to improve your gym life this year.

 
1.) Determine your goal. “What do you want your body to look like? What are you training for, a marathon, powerlifting, crossfit, bodybuilding competition, or even just to look good?”
2.) Design a workout plan to cater toward your goal.  If you don’t know where to start, apply yourself, go online to fitness websites such as bodybuilding.com, or hire a personal trainer.
3.) Find a workout partner that has similar goals as you.
4.) Make a playlist of music that will motivate you/pump you up.
5.) Go online and find the proper supplements to cater toward your goals if you think it’s necessary.
6.) Eat clean, and train dirty. Discipline, and great habit will pay off toward your goals. 
7.) Stay consistent. Success will not happen overnight ladies, and gents. It will take sweat, hard work, and consistency. So, be patient, and stay strong!
8.) Don’t be scared. Everyone needs to start somewhere, and everyone won’t lift the same amount of heavy weights, or run 10 miles straight.
9.) Grab some gym gear. “When you look great, and feel great, you will be great.” 
10.) Shower yourself in motivation everyday. YOU are in the gym for YOUR own reasons. When you have the feeling of motivation, do something with it. Think of the gym as your own stress free sanctuary. When you step in, you leave all stress, and negative thoughts at the front door, and when you walk out you feel excellent. 
 
These are a few tips to help jump start your gym life. Follow them, and I’m 100% sure it will help. If you have any questions, email me.
