Fitness and Technology

If you have a smartphone, and are concerned about achieving your goals in fitness, then I recommend 2 programs at the top of my list.

Jefit Pro- this app allows you to track your workouts and weight and girth measurements.  It shows dynamic graphs that allow you to see your progress charted out.

The second one is

Myfitnesspal- this is a simple search and select calorie counter app.  If you want to lose weight or even build muscle you need to maintain a specific calorie intake to achieve these goals.  This software app let's you do just that and in seconds. Most foods I search for are in their and if they weren't before you can add them just once.

Burn More Fat Faster!!!

We have all heard of the importance of Cardio to improve health, and to burn more fat, but what crosses most peoples minds when I tell them to do cardio? Usually we see the representation of hours spent on the elliptical, treadmills, or bikes. Maybe you think of running around the neighborhood.

The truth is I bet you most likely have never heard of a Tabata Drill. What would you say if I told you that it is possible to burn more fat in 24 hours from as little as 4 minutes of cardio?

It's true, you heard me right, I found a way to get my clients to lose more fat in a month from only performing cardio intensly for an average of 4 minutes of work.

The Tabata Protocol or Drill as some may call it, consists of a brief 4 minute warm up at whatever the chosen exercise ie, be it a bike, treadmill, elliptical, heck you can even use pushups, or bodyweight squats.

The secret to the success of the Tabata Protocol is the effect that it leaves on the energy systems of the body. While most cardio that you see performed in the gym environment works on the body's fat metabolizing system, also called the Oxidative System, the Tabata Protocol burns mainly ATP or Adenosine-5'-triphosphate, and Glycogen (stored carbohydrates or starches).

So if you were to count the calories burned in the time exercised under standard cardio and Tabata Cardio, you will see more calories burned in the Standard Cardio Session. But what makes the difference is that the Tabata Protocol will set the metabolic system into hyperdrive for the next 24 to 36 Hours. You will burn more fat in the resting state from doing Tabata Drills, than you will from Regular Cardio.

So how do you perform the Tabata Protocol?

Simple to explain yet difficult to endure, and that is why it is so effective.

Let's use the example of running as the chosen exercise in the Tabata Drill:

You will need a timer something like an interval timer from www.gymboss.com very inexpensive, yet perfect for almost any time of interval.

Now, to start off you will just jog lightly for 4 minutes, and at the 4 minute mark is when the fun begins. For the next 4 minutes you will run as fast as you humanly can in the following pattern:

0:00 - 4:00 Light Jog

4:00 - 4:20 Run ALL OUT TOP SPEED

4:20 - 4:30 Walk

4:30 - 4:50 Run ALL OUT TOP SPEED

4:50 - 5:00 Walk

5:00 - 5:20 Run ALL OUT TOP SPEED

5:20 - 5:30 Walk

5:30 - 5:50 Run ALL OUT TOP SPEED

5:50 - 6:00 Walk

6:00 - 6:20 Run ALL OUT TOP SPEED

6:20 - 6:30 Walk

6:30 - 6:50 Run ALL OUT TOP SPEED

6:50 - 7:00 Walk

7:00 - 7:20 Run ALL OUT TOP SPEED

7:20 - 7:30 Walk

7:30 - 7:50 Run ALL OUT TOP SPEED

7:50 - 8:00 Walk

If you have made it this far and are still standin you are done!!!

Do these 3 days a week for the next 6 weeks and tell me what your results are. Guaranteed to burn more fat and in a shorter time set aside for working out.

So no more saying you don't have time to do cardio. All you need it 8 minutes!!

Embracing Emptiness

Holding on to this perception of NOW and THEN...

The Way is lost in the moment of perception...

Still the mind on the everpresent breathing...

Lose the attempt to focus for this is futility...

Embrace the emptiness of potentiality...

And hold onto the unattainable with fleeting hands...

Color the prism of perception with the infinite emptiness...

And see into the void of what is "real"...

Such beauty rests within the construct of the human mind...

A heart beats and then after a myriad of wrythings finds solace in resting...

The mind wanders here and there, only to find neither exist...

Release all attachements to good or bad and live life to the fullest potential...

Hold onto the ideology of GOOD and BAD, and embrace heresy...

There is neither but both are definitions published upon the human mind...

An attempt to hold sway over the natural world...

Holding to Good and Bad there is opposition...

Strive instead to generate growth and life...

For now you are alive...

Seek to give love...

For Love is truth and Hate is error or illusion...

You will find what you seek...

And see what you believe...

So believe in fulfillment and enjoy the journey...

Seek to aide your fellow man without discretion...

And fulfillment will be returned unto you...

For to clamour against the infinite plan is illusion...

Live today for today, and expect nothing in return...

Enjoy the ever-present perfume of the joy of living...

See not evil but illusion...

See not Hate but Love...

Love until your lasting breath sighs no more upon your lips...

And hold on to nothing accept Love...

Sadness is self pity, and attachment to worldly and illusory things...

Enjoy what is present in your life, and free it when it goes...

Live life as the waves lapping upon the sandfilled shores...

Neither wanting nor struggling but enjoying your labor...

Do these things and immortality is truly yours...

Judge no other for they already are judging themselves...

You make your life everyday...

Decide what you will have for the day...

And with joy and pleasure generate it into being...

Sadness and despair come from not accepting the way things are...

Joy and Happiness come from not accepting self centered expectations...

Maybe today is another person's day and you are there to fulfill...

Love always and forever.
