Hidden Training Opportunities

Many of you know that I was once a rather large individual.

Now this blog entry isn't some new diet fad or really even going to tell you things you don't already know, but just maybe in this instance a picture can be worth a thousand words and may give you just enough pause to hear me out.

So where are these hidden training opportunities?
Try some of these:
1. Roll out a Yoga Mat and during Television Commercials; hold plank position; do some Hip Bump Sit-ups, flutter kicks, Air Squats.... You get the idea - 2 minutes about every 15-20 minutes is a great way to keep the metabolism in high gear and shedding calories during your favorite shows.

2. Got Stairs? Now there is no need to make unnecessary trips up and down them but when you are going up the stairs do a deep knee bend on every tread, when going down don't skip any steps and do a 10 second Chair Pose (use the handrails as necessary).

3. Drink Ice Cold Water, when you drink a single 8-ounce cup of ICE COLD water, your body will burn 7.69 calories just to heat that water up to body temperature.

4. Practice your Cartwheels and walking on you hands; in the yard, with the kids, have a laugh and have some fun. Not to mention its a great sport specific way to build your kinetic awareness while inverted.

5. Try walking, jogging, or running without letting your heels touch the ground, this amplifies every step into a isometric calf contraction.

There are a few, if you would like more just let me know. I hope you all have a wonderful & blessed day!!
