Take Vacation

Good afternoon San Antonio. Take Vacation. Leading any kind of life.....healthy or unhealthy  but hopefully a healthy life....will take its toll on you. This is your reminder to take a vacation. Take a week or a weekend and do what you want to do. Everybody needs to unwind and decompress from the pressures of life. Dont get so caught up trying to make a living that you forget to have a life. If we help 1 person then awesome and if we don't help anybody at least it won't be for lack of effort damnit!!!! Tomorrow is now...San Antonio Chris

Momentum

Good morning San Antonio. Momentum. You surely have heard that the first 30 days of a fitness program are extremely important. That it takes 30 days to reset your body and other theories. In my opinion the best way to look at the first 30 days is as a chance to build the momentum you need as you change your lifestyle. Think of it as a chance to gain so much momentum going downhill that after your 30 days if you hit a hurdle in the road it will be analogous to hitting a bug n the windshield. Meaning that the hurdle is not going to derail your efforts and rather you will stay on track. Build that momentum. Create as many good habits in those first 30 days so that life can't get in the way. If we help 1 person then awesome and if we don't help anybody at least it won't be for lack of effort damnit!!!

Olympic Residual

Good morning San Antonio. Olympic Residual. The Olympics are still fresh on most of our country's minds and rightfully so. America had a successful performance by all accounts in most events. And hopefully seeing our country's representatives encouraged most of us to either keep active or become active and try to reach our maximum health and fitness condition. Olympic athletes are few so I don't expect people to reach that level but I do hope that seeing our athletes can serve as some kind of spark for us. The same way the we rooted for our athletes I encourage everybody to encourage and root for anybody that they see trying to work towards their highest quality of life. Root for your fellow neighbor or stranger that you see working hard.

Interval Training

Good morning San Antonio. Interval Training. If you feel like your workouts are becoming redundant and mundane then try interval training. For example instead of carrying the same tempo of the exercise for a matter of time instead do shorter intervals of time at a much faster pace. You can do do the intervals at a minimum of 75% of your max up to 100% of your max. This will help give you some variety in your workout and get you out of any funk that you may have been. Variety is key to keep the body guessing and to yield success. If we help 1 person then awesome and if we don't help anybody at least it won't be for lack of effort damnit!!! Tomorrow is now....

Shoe Check

Good morning San Antonio. Shoe Check. If we have gone from last summer to this summer 2012 in the same pair of kicks then it is time for some new ones. Signs you need new shoes are discomfort in the feet, knees, back, neck,etc. To get the best workout and be able to recover properly then we need the right gear. It'll be hard but you have to part ways with your "workout partners" who have been there literally every step of the way. The new shoes could also be just what you need to reignite that motivational fire within.

Vary The Workout

Good afternoon San Antonio. Vary The Workout. Most people have a common complaint that their workouts get boring and are no longer engaging enough for them to stay consistent with the regimen. So...vary the workout. Research the Internet for something you would like to try or hire a personal trainer to get some new and fresh ideas for workouts. As with anything that you are successful at it takes effort and commitment. The same applies to finding or developing a new workout.
