It may seem like working out and training are the same thing, but I assure you they are not. Working out means you broke a sweat where training means you made a difference towards your goal.

Let me give you an example, let’s say there are 2 women who regularly exercise.

Both of them put the same amount of time into their sessions at about an hour, 5 days/week, but one is getting results and the other is not.

Are you having trouble reaching your goals? Start by ripping out myths and replace them with empowering knowledge you can take action on.  In this article I will go over common myths in training so you do not waste your time not seeing results.

Pull ups are one of the most effective exercises in building upper body strength. Even if you cannot do a pull up yet the process of working on one will still build SO much upper body strength. The secret to performing a pull up is to have the right mindset and plenty of repetitions.

Do you want to avoid disc damage and low back pain? Then you need a progressive resistance training program!

Thirty-one million Americans will experience back pain at any given time, according to the American Chiropractic Association. Since herniation occurs from thousands of repetitions of flexion, a training plan is necessary to restore balance in the body. Since our muscles work as a team it is imperative to strengthen the body as a whole.

Dr. Bruce Lipton is a scientist who is changing the way we view health through his study of epigenetics. Epigenetics which translates to “control above genetics” is proving that our mind directly effects our blood’s chemistry!

The body will change it’s behavior depending on whatever directions you give to it from your mind. Since our bodies are made up of fifty trillion cells, making sure they are in a healthy environment is imperative to staying alive and healthy…

“..It is a proven fact that one-third of all healings are due to the placebo effect, which is controlled by the mind, but medical-related corporations based on making a profit don’t want us to know this.”  -Bruce Lipton

What is the point of hard work if you never take the time to celebrate your success?  After you set a goal, don’t forget to determine how you will celebrate along the way and after it is accomplished!

 Anything that does not happen instantly is a mindset challenge. We can be inspired by the journey or worry about how far we have to go.  This is the distinction between celebrating or sabotaging. 

The energy we carry is largely a choice and we need to be extremely conscious when things begin to get difficult.  Celebrate or sabotage. Two perspectives with two very different energies.

What do you feed yourself in your head on the journey? 

When it comes to achieving your health and fitness goals, consistency is the key to seeing results.

This means choosing a goal and putting a date on when you will achieve it.  

Now the work lies in staying consistent with your actions until the goal is achieved.  The timeline may change, but the end result does not. 

This approach is becoming more rare as people are looking to get to their goals without putting in the time.  Some are looking for a quick-fix solution.

When we are not consistent we tend to jump around from program to program.  There is a myth of variety that we need to debunk.  The more variety you have in your programming, the harder it is to reach your goals.  Too much variety probably means there is no focus and you are unable to measure progress…

Have you ever experienced the contentment of focussing all of your attention on something? It is as if time does not exist. That is what being feels like also known as in the zone.

There two ways of thinking labeled as doing mode and being mode. Being mode is where our mind is clear and performance becomes effortless…

The brain is the body’s command center and an integral part of our overall health and well-being.

A strong and healthy body is a strong and healthy brain.

Research shows that the human brain has an amazing ability to change its structure and function with exercise. Physical activity and exercise have played one of the most vital roles in changing the brain…
