5 Tips to Success In and Out Of The Gym

Posted on by tommyfoose

 

I believe that there is always going to be those times in your life that you’re fed up, and you’re tired. But, simply thinking about being out of shape isn’t going to do shit for you. It’s time to take action and write down your goals (Google: S.M.A.R.T Goals). I’m not here to blow smoke up your ass, it’s going to suck. If you want to change then your daily habits need to change. If you need to stop hanging around with some people, then do it!

I took some time away from the gym, and i noticed some key points that helped me when I started up again. Heres some tips to help you stay on track:

  1. Start eating healthier, smaller portioned meals. Prepping your food, and sticking to the plan is the toughest part. The exercising part is where the fun is!
  2. Write down your goals. (Smart, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic for you, Time measured.
  3. Write down how you’re going to accomplish them. (What kind of training, etc.)
  4. Track your progress on a monthly basis.
  5. Stay focused, but be patient. take the first step

Supplement Of The Month – APS MESOMORPH

Posted on by tommyfoose

 

MESOMORPH_rocketpopThis week i headed over to One Stop Nutrition, out here in Awhatukee, Arizona. I was checking out all the pre workout’s, and I decided to go with APS’s “Mesomorph” Ultimate Pre-workout Complex. This supplement was brought to my attention by a class mate i had military training with. Anyhow, the flavor is, “rocket-pop” which tastes just like a popsicle.

I go to take a scoop, and it probably took about 15-20 minutes to kick it. As soon as it kicked in , everything immediately became clear, and I was really urged to start my workout. In my workout, I’m noticing i had a phenominal pump compared to usual. I definetely stayed concentrated on my time between sets, and finishing each set.

So if i was to grade this supplement on a scale of 1-10, I’m going to have to go with a 9. It was one of those preworkouts, that really gets your shit going, and keeps you focused until the finish.

Water makes up 60 percent of a persons body weight. Water intake comes through food digestion, and of course beverage consumption. On a daily average, you should be taking in between two, and three liters to balance out water loss. If you’re needing rapid rehydration for excessive dehydration you can drink 1.5 liters of fluid per hour until your body is replenished. 

Top 10 ways to kick start your gym life

Posted on by tommyfoose

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.
