Why do some beginners move on and reach
highly skilled levels of competitive play while others never seem to
move out of rudimentary levels of skills, even as they seem to possess
equal or even more athleticism and desire? The answer is in the
foundation that beginners are introduced to and the patterns of
development the student is offered. David W. Smith’s COACHING CHAMPIONS

And like we said, you don't need this
gear, but you will get more from your workplace workouts when you use
resistance. Resistance will help you build more lean muscle mass, and
muscle takes more energy to fuel than fat, so the more muscle you have
on your body, the more calories you torch. How much?A pound of muscle takes ~10
calories per day to sustain. A pound of fat only takes ~3. Those are
some compelling numbers--especially if your job requires that you sit on
your ass most of the day. Every little bit of fat burning power can
help you get closer to your fit goals. Let's get to it! Do each of these moves 5 times through, working for 50 seconds and resting for 10 seconds.
Notes on form: Keep
your spine straight and flat. Also keep the weight of the movement in
your heels and move slowly, using your muscles (not momentum) to power
the move. Curtsy Lunge + Hip Flex Booty Bands Notes on form:
Alternate sides, doing one leg, then the other. Also be sure not to rush
this movement: don’t dawdle, but be sure you’re nailing form. Kettlebell Pass Throughs Kettlebell Notes on form: Keep your core engaged throughout this movement and your chest lifted. Spider Push-Up Weighted Vest Notes on form: Drop
to your knees, use the wall or do a standard push-up if this variation
is too challenging. You want to push yourself, but you should be able to
complete the movement at least the first round through. Maintain a flat
spine and do not allow your hips to sag toward the floor. The Cardio Core Workplace Workout Jump Squats Weighted Vest Notes on form: Keep
your chest lifted, your spine long and flat and push up from your heels
while also sinking back down into them upon impact. Take out the jump if
this move hurts your joints. Reverse Abs Pink Thing
Notes on form: Engage your core by tucking your belly-button into your spine. Do not allow your back to arch up off the floor. Fast Feet Drop Weighted Vest
Notes on form: Move as quickly as you can while still maintaining control--if not dignity. Standing Back Kick Booty Bands Notes on form: Keep a soft bend in the supporting leg as you kick back. Engage your core throughout the movement and keep your chest lifted. The Triple ‘A’ Workplace Workout (Arms, Ass and Abs!) Squats + Pull-Down Core Bands
Notes on form: Keep your chest lifted and your weight into your heels as you squat down and push up. Kneeling Thrusts Weighted Vest and Core Band
Notes on form: Really focus on squeezing your glutes as you reach the top of this movement. Star Abs Pink Thing and Weighted Vest Notes on form: Engage your core by tucking your belly-button into your spine. Do not allow your back to arch up off the floor. Pink Thing Curls Pink Thing Notes on form: Adjust the Pink Thing
as necessary so you are working against a challenging, but doable,
resistance. Stand tall and engage your core: do not let the resistance
band pull you forward. Did you do ‘em? How do you feel?

How To Get The Sleep You Need
By: Charles Elliot
It is estimated that 35% of adults
and 50% of seniors in America do not get enough sleep which sets them up
for serious health consequences i.e. high blood pressure, diabetes,
heart disease, stroke and of course mental stress.
As usual, Big
Pharma has synthetic drugs which come with side effects and most
important severe addiction. Withdrawal from Valium, Ambien etc. is so
bad that doing so can actually kill you. And it’s a catch 22 because if
you make the decision to stay on these drugs rather than risk an
excruciating withdrawal, it is almost guaranteed to lead to dementia.
Also, these dangerous drugs eventually stop working as you build up a
tolerance to them. So if sleeplessness is ruining the quality of your
life, then by all means it is crucial for you to look at natural
substances for relief.
Just like so many other health issues,
some natural cures work and some are pure garbage. Since I am one of the
50% of seniors who have severe sleep problems, I have done a vast
amount of research into what nature has to offer to insomniacs. The time
I’ve put into this problem has led me to discover genuine relief from a
combination of natural sleep aids.
Melatonin is the hormone
made by your pineal gland that controls your sleep and wake cycles. It
should be taken an hour before going to bed. For best results, stay away
from any light source i.e. television, cell phones etc. during that
hour.
Magnesium is a mineral that most people are lacking in sufficient amounts. It leads to relaxation and quality sleep.
Theanine promotes a sense of calm and is especially effective in quieting the mind.
Essential herbs that contribute to a good night’s sleep include
Chamomile, Passionflower, Lemon Balm, Valerian Root and Hops (not beer).
These herbs act synergistically to promote relaxation and a deeper
sleep. It’s important to include all of them for maximum efficacy.
Try to find a brand that contains all or at least most of these
ingredients. Then see if these aids enable you to get at least seven
hours of restorative sleep
SLEEP TIGHT.
Being a lifelong insomniac, I have studied this inside and out. I wish I
knew all this back when. Discovering these natural cures have made all
the difference for me! ce@natureshealthharmony.com
