Beachbody Performance Line- My thoughts.


Let me start by saying I have spent the majority of my career working to get people off the couch.  I typically work with the never-ever exercisers, or the ones that have not been consistent and seen the results they want.  Why- cuz I can relate to them.

I have avoided most things "performance" and I am pretty anti supplement.  So why am I considering using the Beachbody Performance Line?

1.  I tried it yesterday, and I did feel my workout was easier.  (Realize I used to run about an 8-10 minute mile, now I am a 12-15 minute mile.  I know I am older but I am struggling with that and would like to improve.)  I have done research in the area of "Pre- Workouts".  The results from my research and others are mixed.  The primary ingredient is caffeine- and is not banned by any of the anti-doping agencies.  If you are sensitive to caffeine this can be a mixed bag, make you jittery.  But I did find it easier to work harder DURING my workout.



2.  Hydrate - I have never liked other hydration products (Gatorade, Poweraid, etc.), but I have always seen a need for them, especially for distance training and training in the heat - remember I live in Florida-lol.  I liked the way ours tasted.



3 & 4 - Post Workout and Recover - Ok this was easy.  I like the shakes.  I like the flavor, texture, and ease of use.  Often I am running from my workout to the rest of my life - going hungry leads to bad decisions.  Eating late at night can be my downfall- this is a done and done. The Recover before bed, may be the answer.  I may be weird that way but that works for me.



I am going to try it for 30 days.  Let's see what happens - stay tuned it could be a fun ride.

Celebrate Earth Day with Some Meditation

Image
A National Survey of Americans reports 14.2% of adults practice some form of meditation (2017). Meditation is a mind-body practice that helps to focus the mind which increases calm, physical relaxation, coping mechanisms, and overall health & well-being. How to get started? Meditation is easy to start and hard to master. Like Yoga, Meditation is a practice . You need to let go of expectations and embrace the process. Many types of meditation exist, below we will describe one of the most common. Seated, Quiet, Meditation Step 1- Find a quiet, comfortable place to sit or lie down.  Step 2- Close your eyes. Step 3- Release. Your first meditation will not be perfect. Focus on a mantra (phrase) or word. Repeat the Mantra as a means to focus your mind on the present, not on the list of things you have to do. If your mind wanders, bring it back to the word, or mantra. An Earth Day Mantra suggestion:   om shanti shanti (om= universal sound, shanti=...

Health & Fitness Evolution or Transformation- Imperfect Progress and Failing Forward

First off, thank you all for the love on my posts.  I am truly humbled by the support.  That being said, I have had a lot of questions about how did I get here, and statements like:  "I want to be you, or I could never be you."  If you want this, it is yours.  If you think you can't do this - let me be real.  You are just wrong! This health and fitness journey path that I am isn't hard to duplicate.  I copied it off of someone else.  You know what, that is OK and you can do it too.  Here is my path, if you want to walk this journey together- join me in my next challenge group.

BVI Day 2 & 3

Image
Never a dull moment for the Heil Clan!  I want to start by stating that we do have GREAT traveling partners, they have been so easy going and flexible.  So our adventures over the last two days. When ever you lead a larger group there is a constant battle to keep the group together.  We call that "Herding Cats"!  Our cats have been starting "meowing" whenever we refer to them.  Super cute. Friday night the entire group made it safely to St. Thomas in the USVI.  On Saturday AM we headed to the British Virgin Islands, specifically the island of Tortilla.  We have been assigned a 42' Lagoon named Bear.   (Yes we think this is cool BearCat friends.)   Here is where the adventure starts and the Cats had to be flexible.  Bear is brand new!   Bear's Specs  You too can own her for a mere $573, 000.  This will be her maiden voyage, after sea trials in France.  Why is this important?  (Other than being just cool:)) ...
