HItchFit's Keys To Effective Workouts

Discover 5 Keys To Effective Workouts

The Mind and Muscle Connection.

How Intense are your workouts?

Have you ever gone to the gym and your focus was not on the workout? You were on the elliptical thinking about how you hate your job or stressed about bills, just going through the motions. You tell everyone “I work out 4 days a week but I’m just not getting results.” Why is it that you are not getting the results you desire?

One part of the puzzle is what I call Mind and Muscle Connection. Think about it like this. You go to work and have a task that your boss lays out for you. She gives you a time period to get it done and what she expects within the task. You are thinking about how you are going to make this the best possible and excel in every way. You are hoping to get that promotion that you have wanted and needed for some time. This is much like working out. You need to go to the gym with a purpose, with a task. You have a goal set and you have to do everything you can to reach that goal in the shortest amount of time.

When you make the Mind and Muscle Connection, your focus is on the workout and the muscle group you are training. Each rep of that bicep curl or squat is focused on working as hard as you can. When you are scatter brained you will not get to the level of intensity you need to get real results. Get yourself an ipod or some music player then download your favorite tunes and WORKOUT.

People will know you are there for business, not social hour. I always make the joke of if you need to talk to me, text me later because I am here work, not to socialize! Taking long rest periods will not be effective when trying to change your body. You need to hit a certain level of intensity week in week out that will enable your body to burn fat and gain muscle as well as a balanced nutrition plan. Here at Hitch Fit I teach my clients that if you can keep a balance of Fitness, Good Nutrition and Positive Lifestyle will always succeed.

Keep in mind I am not saying go out and lift a 1000 pounds, you need to do what your body is capable of. What I am showing you is the intensity I want you to workout at. Getting IN THE ZONE and pushing your body to get results.

5 Keys For Effective Workouts:

1. Set realistic goals
2. Think Happy! Negative thoughts always lead to a bad workout
3. Believe in yourself! I can do this, I can reach my goals!
4. Cut all distractions. If something is on your mind then take care of it before you go workout.
5. Think over and over that working out is a stress reliever and will help increase your overall energy. You will never regret going to the gym in your life. But you will regret NOT going!

Why Did I Get Cancer, The Facts You Need to Know

By: Alan Wighton

Most people are shocked and bewildered when first diagnosed with cancer and naturally turn to the people they trust the most for the reasons why. Doctors may suggest that it could be genetics or something outside their control but they don’t really know. Cancer is only a modern day problem and also only in western civilised countries so the causes of cancer are well known but unfortunately not by our medical system that are more interested in offering you their ineffective toxic treatments. One hundred years ago cancer was almost unheard of and today in undeveloped or third world countries it is still a rare diseases. If our mainstream medical system was interested in find the reasons why there is so much cancer now why don’t they travel to a country where it doesn’t occur and find out why it is not occurring. The simple fact is that cancer has become a profitable business for both our medical care system and pharmaceutical companies. To overcome cancer you have to know the reason why it first appeared because before you can be free of it you must deal with the factors that first caused it. All cancers are a self-caused disease and they are caused by an immune system that’s been weakened and didn’t control cancer cells as they appeared within the body and that is because of the way we now live. Supermarkets and the food we are putting in our mouths are one of the main contributing factors. The food we eat on a daily basis has changed over these last few decades and is the reason why there is so much cancer now so common sense should tell you that it’s time to make some changes. Start by removing that dead over processed food that the supermarket shelves are full of. Other lifestyle changes are exercise everyday as your immune system needs it to function efficiently. Also it’s best to get exercise outdoors which means you will also be getting some valuable vitamin D from the sun and that is well known to be beneficial to a cancer victim. Other facts doctors won’t tell you are to be wary of the many chemicals that are in circulation today which are finding their way into our bodies. We are overwhelmed with toxic chemicals that we breathe in as in exhaust fumes or fly sprays, they are absorbed through the skin because of our use of personal care products and of course we ingest them because of additives in our processed food. Most of these chemicals have been extracted from crude oil and are contributing to many of our health problems. It’s important to realise that with a cancer diagnosis the growth itself is only a symptom and a symptom is only a sign that something is wrong with the entire body. The symptom itself is not the problem and it is pointless just removing these growths which do little towards long term healing. Patients may experience remission following the treatments in use today but if you don’t remove the reasons why it first grew then that is not a cure and the cancer will only grow again. Cancer is caused by uncontrolled cell growths within the body because the body’s defence system didn’t control these foreign cells when they appeared. It’s because our immune system had been weakened by the factors mentioned above. To solve the problem it makes sense to strengthen the immune system with healthy living instead of weakening it with toxic treatments. The body need’s to be healed and natural living does that.

Fences That Keep Burglars Out – an effective compromise

By: George Babnick

In one of my previous articles, "Invisible Dogs that Deter Burglars" I wrote about residential burglaries and how people can use an Invisible Barking Dog alarm as part of an overall layered security "system" to deter burglars. [If you didn't read this article, see my security blog, URL in my Bio]. As good as any alarm system may work, all security measures can be defeated. If someone really wants to break into your home – they will. Your goal is to make them not want to trespass upon your property or break into your home! Landscaping can sometimes be used effectively as an exterior perimeter barrier but for the average homeowner/resident, the first layer of perimeter security is usually a fence. Few people erect a fence strictly to prevent intrusion. In fact, most people build a fence for privacy and appearances and security is an afterthought. Usually they make the fence as sturdy as they can and as high as the local zoning permits and think to themselves that they are now safe. Solid fences give residents a false sense of security. Solid fences give residents a false sense of security. Instead of making their property safer solid fences actually make it more inviting to a burglar. Burglars are creepy cowards who usually target homes that look the easiest to break into. Although most residential burglaries occur during the daytime, burglars like to do their thieving out of sight. They like homes that have barriers that make it difficult for neighbors or people passing by to see them. Big bushes, tall hedges, brick walls, and solid fences give burglars concealment. It gives them as sense of "safety" and can actually entice a burglar onto your property because it looks like an easy mark. What Kind of Fencing is Best? When I worked as a patrol officer I investigated hundreds of residential burglaries and on some occasions I chased burglars across yards, through alleys, and over and under fences. The fences that fleeing burglars had the most difficulty getting over were "flimsy" chicken-wire type fences. Burglars (and pursuing cops) could not run through these fences and if they were too high to leap over, you had to detour and run around them as there was usually nothing to grab hold of to pull yourself over. Now that I operate an investigations and security consulting business, I would serve my clients well if I recommended they erect an 8-foot-tall chicken wire or mesh wire fence around their entire property. Problem is – who wants a cheap rickety wire fence in their front yard or all around their property? Not me. A compromise that I often recommend to my clients who want the privacy that a solid fence offers (usually wood but sometimes vinyl or other material) and something aesthetically pleasing, is to add a not too sturdy trellis at the top of the fence. Attaching a trellis to the top of a fence makes it harder for intruders to climb over the fence as gripping and pulling your body up and over the trellis is difficult. Doing so will likely cause the entire section of trellis to break slowing the intruder down and causing some commotion. Give the intruder some thorns! Additionally, I often recommend that residents plant some dense thorny intertwining bushes on the inside of the fence. That way, even if the intruder climbs over the fence, when he jumps down he will have to land in an uncomfortable thicket of thorns. Low growing thorny plants can also be planted outside the fence for additional deterrent. All of this might just cause the burglar to give up and move on to an easier target. Here in the Pacific NW the William Penn Barberry bush (Berberis gladwynesis) with its fine texture and numerous sharp thorns, works just fine. It looks nice and can grow to 5 feet in height and can be left to grow naturally or sheared to form an impregnable hedge. In the Desert SW some thorny cactus plants will do the trick! The next time you build a fence give some thought to security. Absent a chain linked or iron fence with barbed wire or razor ribbon on the top, the best fence is one that you can see through and one that is difficult to climb over. As a practical compromise between privacy and security, consider a solid fence topped with a trellis. As an additional "line of defense" consider planting some thorny bushes on the inside and even on the outside of the fence. And, just in case the intruder makes it over your fence as he creeps up to your home with thorns sticking in his flesh, your Invisible Barking Dog alarm (or your real dog) will likely scare him away!

The Written Word of God

Adapted from the resource Power Thoughts Devotional - by Joyce MeyerIn order to know God—what to expect from Him and what He expects from you—you must know His Word. It’s not possible for God to say one thing but do another. He cannot lie, and He’s always faithful to perform what He has promised.

I know many people who have studied God’s Word diligently and whose lives have been changed, but I also know many who, although they would like their lives to improve, won’t discipline themselves to study and learn the Word or to speak the Word.

Spending time with God by studying the Word is your choice, and only you can make it. When you make that choice to seek Him with your whole heart, it won’t take long before the desire to really know God and His Word becomes a natural response.

Prayer Starter: Lord, help me to take steps today to make Your Word a priority in my life. As I move forward, give me a true hunger and desire to know You more intimately. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

"God Cures Part 2" on Your World with Creflo [Video and more below]

Created to Praise

Gloria Copeland

Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.

Psalm 150:6

We're created to praise God. Some people don't know that. When the praise service starts, they sit back and say, "I'm not comfortable with all that singing and shouting. I guess praise is just not my thing."

Yes, it is! According to the Bible, if you breathe, you were meant to praise.

And don't try to slip by with saying, "Well, I have praise in my heart." That's not enough. The Word says you need to have it in your mouth as well (Psalms 34:1)! Psalm 132:9 says, "Let thy saints shout for joy." You can't shout and be quiet at the same time.

When you first begin to truly praise, it may seem awkward to you, but if you'll keep it up, it will become a way of life. Why? Because praise causes the glory of God to manifest in your life. It causes you to walk in the light of His countenance (Psalms 89:15). It will start a revival inside of you!

"But, Gloria, if I start to praise like that, people will think I'm some kind of fanatic."

Well, good! Did you know that every revival in history has been started by people the world considered absolute fanatics? God does things differently than the world. So when you set aside your inhibitions and start letting His Spirit operate through you, you're going to look strange to those who are strangers to His ways...but you're going to look glorious to the Lord!

And, by the way, don't just think of praising Him in the congregation. Praise Him in your own private prayer time and throughout your day. Learn to maintain an attitude of praise and thanksgiving. When praise becomes natural to you in your own private life, it won't be difficult to praise Him in the midst of the congregation.

Are you longing for a revival of God's presence in your life? Are you tired of just hearing about the glorious manifestations of His power in the past? Then open your mouth and your heart and do what God has created you to do. Praise!

Strength Coach Classic: Making Your Big Time: A Tribute to Frosty Westering

by Adam Feit - 

Over 300 wins, four national championships and a top 10 ranking among all-time college football coaches.

Now that's success!

Isn't it?

Those numbers belong to Frosty Westering, the longtime coach of the Division III Pacific Lutheran University Lutes, who recently passed away this April (2013). With numbers like that, you would be hard pressed to find anyone to say that he wasn't a great coach or didn't know how to win.

Wouldn't you?

While most individuals would associate winning records and championships with the definition of a successful coach, Frosty exemplified everything about success that wasn't just focused around game plans, scripts and high dollar recruiting budgets. Winning to him was just a by-product of two things, love and commitment. Frosty went into every battle with those two things as if they were his sword and shield and yet he always came out, victorious and unscathed from combat. Not bad for a guy that believed in singing before games and helping opponents up after putting them on their tails, right?

But I didn't know Frosty as a coach. I knew him as the author of one of the most influential books of not only my coaching career, but of every intern's, graduate assistant's and athletes that have ever been a part of my life; Make the Big Time Where You Are. A book that was recommended to me when I was an intern and one that will remain a staple in every “which book would you recommend” question I get for as long as I live.

If you're looking for the “Holy Grail” of program design, this is it. If you want the inside edge on others in this field, go ahead and place your order. But you won't find anything about sets, reps and multi-syllable, unpronounceable periodization schemes. Not even a hint of corrective exercise, primal flow, postural restoration. Not one. Zero. None.

So, what's the big deal?

While my coaching career of less than 10 years may be considered almost nil to many of you in this field, I've worked in almost every capacity as a strength and conditioning coach thus far. With stops as a student personal trainer, intern, GA, college assistant, head college coach, NFL assistant, and now “private sector coach” and business partner, my resume has more bullets points than a BB gun carnival game. But, does this mean I know what it takes to be successful?

I'll be the first one to tell you, not even close.

And Frosty's “Make the Big Time Where You Are” helped me understand that.

Unfortunately, a lot of us still set our sights on the end goal, our five and ten year plans. We look to the end of the road and define our success on how many championships we've won, how many zeroes at the end of our paychecks and possibly how many kids “we trained” that made it to the league. Instead of worrying about right now, we worry about what's next. Instead of taking care of the responsibilities we have now, we worry about the job we want next. Rather than accepting the role of a mentor, a leader and a positive influence on today's youth, we blame what we CAN'T do on inadequate facilities, lack of help and appreciation.....Join StrengthCoach.com today to read the rest of this article and much more!

Tactical Bodyweight Workouts Present Police Activity Featuring: Police Dashcam Video of Shooting That Killed Rapper Zoe “Gangstalicious"

** (Disclaimer: This video content [below] is intended for educational and informational purposes only) ** The state’s attorney for Fairfield has issued a report that found officers involved in the fatal shooting of a man in New Britain in December, 2017 were justified in using deadly force. The report concludes that officers who fired upon the driver of the car, Zoe Dowdell, and killed him were justified in the actions they took. On December 14, 2017, police officials attempted to stop a teal Toyota Paseo suspected in a string of violent carjackings and armed robberies that occurred throughout New Britain and the surrounding areas. When they failed to stop, officers exited their cruisers with their weapons drawn and ordered the driver and passengers out of the vehicle. The suspects allegedly refused to comply and instead drove towards the officers at high speed, prompting them to open fire on the vehicle to make it stop.
