Hello and hey, it's FRIDAY!
AND less than a week away from Turkey Day!
I tend to save all of my workouts on OneNote on my phone, makes it REAL easy if I want to be lazy and not come up with something to do either at home or at the gym for the day. Here's a workout I pulled out from January of this year, put it to use again this Tuesday morning and figured I may as well share it!
This is a Tabata-inspired workout, but rather than the typical 20-second work intervals we're doing 30 seconds. :) I love high-intensity work. It's a great metabolism booster, plus this workout only takes about 30 minutes! Get a good sweat to burn off that extra dessert you're going to have at dinner Thursday! ;)
The first thing that probably comes to mind when you think about asking someone for help related to nutrition is weight loss. That is true, I can definitely help if you need to shed some extra pounds, however, my skill set expands much further than that. On the other end of the spectrum, there are those that wish to GAIN weight and have trouble doing so. I’m going to assume that when it comes to weight gain, most of us would like to gain muscle over anything, and there are specific strategies to do just that.
The most obvious way to promote weight gain is to simply eat continuously. Unfortunately, that has the potential to make us feel incredibly uncomfortable and probably leads to more fat than muscle gain. We should be shooting for at least 500 calories more than we’re burning each day. This can provide a modest calorie increase without making us feel too miserable.
Failure has been a topic on my mind lately. This may sound completely negative, but really I'm thinking about failure as part of being driven and successful. I'm not only accepting my failures, but I'm embracing them.
