Breathe everyone knows to breathe when the exercising but do you know why ? because you need oxygen to help metabolize glucose into energy, so when your exercising your need lots of energy so you need more oxygen. So remember to breathe during your exercise. A proper way to breathe is in through your nose and out through your mouth slowly.
Warm Up you want to warm up at least 15 mins before working out if your doing P90x then you don't have to worry, you always warm up in the beginning. If you don't warm up your prone to injury. So warm up and get your blood system going and the heart beating and remember to breathe, then you'll perform better and safer.
Don't break the habit stop taking long breaks during your exercise, you need to keep going and keep your heart rate up. The more you take breaks the harder it will be to keep your heart rate up. So when your have a 30 second break or 60 second start jumping around like your a boxer that way when you start again your pumped and ready to go. Always keep your body moving on your breaks.
Hydration you need to drink water to replace the water you loss during your exercise. Without water you'll feel dizzy and slow and your heart wont pump as hard. Also sports drinks are helpful because they have electrolytes which water doesn't well smartwater
dose. Whats great about it is that it sends a charges into your body to your heart to keep you going.Buddy System find a friend or relative that wanna get back in shape or lose weight then workout together. Make a schedule and workout on the same day its always fun to have a friend to push you. If your on P90x its great to start off with a buddy. Surround your self with supportive people that understand what your going through and that can help you. Let exercise and the healthy lifestyle be apart of your everyday life. Inspire your friends and family to do the same, and always have fun when exercising.
This is off topic but I was thinking of becoming a BeachBody Coach what do you guys think should I or not ? Leave a comment below.
Alfred- It's Amie. I am the one who asked you if you were/wanted to be a beachbody coach. :) Has anyone else asked you if were a BB coach? I'm just curious because you are a natural.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I are both BB coaches and have a great team. Some of our coaches work at their Beachbdody businesses full time and some only part time, but all find it so rewarding. I love helping people find the right fitness program for them and coaching them through the process. My husband probably enjoys answering questions and hearing success stories the most. We earn a great extra income and love spreading the message of health and fitness.
Since this blog is a kind coaching, what is your favorite part when you talk to people? You are such a great example to people and as I said before, you would make a great coach, since you are already doing it.
In case you dont know, you pay a one time fee of $40 to become a coach. Coaches receive a 25% discount of all BB products and get a 25% commission off all sales. You pay $15/month for your wesbites (one beachbody and one shakeology). There are two ways to earn money as a coach--1, by retailing the products through your website and 2, by building a team and earning bonuses off their sales.
If you have any questions of want to look into it further, you can get more info on my webiste www.amiebutman.com under the COACH tab.
Glad to know that you are thinking about it.
Please let me know if you have any questions. My husband Dan is also available to answer questions.
I really enjoy reading your blogs. You have come a long way and its fun reading about your fitness journey. I bet you have a number of people that you have talked to about P90X, so it sounds like coaching is a natural progression for you!!
Take care!
Amie
