Balanced Pushing

/in , , /by

Are results really 80% nutrition, 20% exercise? What do you think??Idk the exact % but there’s no question nutrition is a huge factor.

But that said…

Execrcise does moreWhen you push yourself physically to do what your brain says you don’t have the time or energy to do, you start valuing what you CAN become as a person, with hard work.
When you achieve something physically, you’ve also just achieved something mentally.

It’s extremely empowering.

Becoming fit doesn’t require that you beat up your body, I think we all know that by now. Just eating right & moderate exercise daily can lead to a healthy life.

BUT.. accomplishing something physically *challenging* puts you in a positive frame of mind.
And when you’re in a positive frame of mind, you handle stress better, you sleep better, you like and respect your body better, you like other PEOPLE better, and you EAT better
So… I’m not so sure exercise is only 20% of the full equation

I never dreamed of success I worked for it

Are you wishing for it or working for it?

I never dreamed of success I worked for itAre you wishing for it or working for it? I don’t just mean fitness, I mean designing the life you want.

Don’t let anything or anyone stop you. BUT make sure the outcome of what you’re pursuing aligns you with the things, the lifestyle, & most importantly, the people that make you happy.

You Stopped Lifting??

/in , , , /by

You Stopped Lifting?Please speak up if you’ve had amazing results once you started taking lifting/strength training seriously.

Don’t stop lifting/strength training.. It’s almost NEVER a good idea to stop (unless you have a rare situation) if you care about being fit, getting lean & most importantly feeling & performing at your BEST.

If you’re gaining muscle but NOT losing fat, you have to take a hard, honest look at what you’re doing day in & day out with what you’re eating & drinking.

You can’t expect to see the fruits of your labor until you’ve been consistent 90% of the time with what you eat AND drink, lifting/strength and your cardio. It’s about creating NEW habits & tackling old, bad habits one day/one meal at a time

What are you struggling with

What are you struggling with right now?

/in , , , /by

We’re all on our own journey. I put my journey out to the public not to be judged or compared, but to hold myself accountable & hopefully inspire someone. It used to be really scary for me to post pics or videos of myself, and STILL is somewhat, but hiding in your fear of judgment & never living the life you were meant to live, never becoming the person you were meant to be, & never helping ALL the people you were meant to help, is scarier.

Injured?

Are you Injured?

Are you injured?? Where?

Of course check with your Dr but maybe there are things you CAN DO that don’t aggravate it, but keep you moving & most importantly, enable you to feel on track. Your mindset controls you’re eating too & if you feel all off-track due to an injury, it can take you down a bad, unhealthy path if you let it.
Injured?
I have a hamstring/glute injury from sprinting 2 yrs ago, a wrist sprain from snowboarding with Chalene Johnson 2 wks ago & now a knee tweak from who-knows-what! But I am happiest & healthiest if I just keep moving and am smart about it.
