Trainer Tells All He Has Learned About Health and Fitness
Trainer Tells MORE About All He Has Learned About Health and Fitness
These two are GREAT lists of random things that I more or less agree with from Mike O’Donnell at Fitness Spotlight.
A couple faves:
- Pushups are the best upper body workout designed….no machine can replace that…you don’t need any equipment and you can do them anywhere.
- To build muscle, throw away your Whey protein and eat more steak and eggs
- Mainstream media is 5 years behind research studies….research studies are 10 years behind what people are already doing for health and results
- Want a strong “core”? Lift something heavy over your head and walk around trying to stabilize it…the motivation to not drop it on your head will work wonders
- I don’t like labels on how I eat (low-carb, Paleo, etc), as I change it daily depending on how I feel and recovery needs. I am in full control of my choices daily….and never tied to just any one way.
- People who flex in the mirror at the gym in my opinion probably really just need a hug.
- If you still need to count calories, you are probably not eating the right foods in the first place.
- If you want to look like a professional athlete, do what they do for 8 hours a day…if you want to look good and still keep your day job, workout and eat smart.
I’m applying these principles to my everyday life … playing by the river, doing lots of pushups, and eating smart!
