Flexible Workouts | Timothy Valentin

I love flexible workouts, some days I have a little more time and would like to get in a longer workout.  This is one of the things that I like most about the 10 Minute Trainer workout program developed by Tony Horton for Beachbody.

 





 

Each Segment is 10 Minutes Long

Each workout in the ten minute trainer workout system is, well, 10 minutes long.  It does come with a workout schedule so if you don't like to make up your own schedule.  You can elect to run all workouts on each disc or just an individual workout. You can also run a quick 2 minute warm up and cool down before and after each workout.

Tony Horton's training style come through each workout so I you like P90X but cannot handle the intensity, give the 10 minute trainer a try. You can purchase it here:  10 Minute Trainer.

I hope to see you in the gym!

What it takes to be fit as a Marvel Comic Book Hero. | Timothy Valentin

What it takes to be fit as a Marvel Comic Book Hero. | Timothy Valentin



I am in my "Man Cave" watching the movie Thor and wondering what it takes to be a super fit super hero--"fit as a Marvel Comic Book Hero?"  Granted the actors playing the parts aren't super heroes themselves but they need to look the part, after all there is only so much you can do with Photoshop.

What it takes

There are two components to getting in great shape, exercise and diet.  First exercise, intense workouts as long a 2.5 to three hours per day consisting of weight training, cardio and almost always some form of martial art.

As for diet, not just eating right but adding in supplements to ensure proper nutrition so the body can meeting the demands of a rigorous workout schedule.

Any fitness plan

As with the super hero, us everyday average people need exercise and proper nutrition to maintain a healthy lifestyle. You may not engage in the demanding workout programs as some of these stars do but you do need to match up your diet to your workout.

Fad diets

I have seen may Fad diets come and go. People on them have had limited success but often find that they cannot maintain status guo.  Make sure whatever plan you come up with is something you can stick with.

Beachbody workouts

One of the things I like most about Beachbody's workout programs is they come with a meal plan that is design to provide the nutrition that your body needs.  Great workouts paired with the proper nutrition equals great results.

My Favorite Workouts

Les Mills Combat and P90X3 are my two favorite workout programs. They combine all of the components of the rigorous programs used by the superheros but are designed for the "Mortal" humans like you and me.





 









  





Until next time eat right, stay healthy!

Best Juicing Tips: It is well known in nutrition circles that that the juice of fruits and vegetable are good for overall health. Juicing can improve your life in many ways, from boosting your energy to making your heart healthier. Use the following tips to be more successful in your juicing efforts.



Dark leafy greens benefit from the addition of a cucumber when juicing. Some leafy greens do not taste good. Cucumber can mask the taste and also add a refreshing twist to your juice. Using the cucumber with the peel on will also add extra nutrition to your drink.



If you are juicing due to a health concern, start with dark green veggies as the base for your juice. Dark vegetables, including broccoli, chard or spinach, should constitute as much as 75 percent of your juices. You can use strawberries or another sweet fruit to even it out and to make sure that it’s a great-tasting mix.



If juicing is part of your health regimen, the best ingredients to juice include green veggies like spinach, broccoli, kale, chard and other such vegetables. To get the most benefits, use at least 50% green vegetables in your juice drink. To add more flavor to your green vegetable juice add other vegetables or fruit. Fruit juices may taste sweeter, but compared to green veggies, they come at a steep price in sugar and calories, meaning they’re not as healthy.



You can use juice as a meal replacement. This will make a lot of sense when you look at the large amount of food that you will need to create a single glass of juice. Treating juice as a meal replacement allows your body to quickly absorb nutrients into your bloodstream.

You probably already knew that juicing vegetables and fruits can work wonders for your overall health. Apply these tips and start experimenting with your juicer to create new and interesting flavors. There’s never been a better time to add juicing to your daily life.

Get In Shape, Go For a Walk! | Timothy Valentin

Get In Shape, Go For a Walk! | Timothy Valentin

Need to get in shape, go for a walk! These days most people spend most of their time sitting at their desks or laying on their couches for long periods of time.  The average American spends about 56 hours per week just sitting.  You need to move. One of the best ways to get in shape is to take a short walk during lunch. Just to move a bit each day.

Benefits of walking

Even if you workout daily--moderate to vigorous--you still will need to get up and move. It is not healthy to sit for long periods of time.  Even if you are doing moderate exercise you are at a higher risk of "mortality" if you spend long hours sitting--that is where walking comes in.  For your lunch break go for an extended walk to get yourself moving and reduce the amount of time that you are sitting.

A regular "brisk" walk can help you to:

• Maintain a healthy weight
• Prevent or manage various conditions, including heart disease, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes
• Strengthen your bones
• Lift your mood
• Improve your balance and coordination

Get ready to Go for a Walk

So what to you need to do before you start walking?

1. Get a good pair of shoes.--If you walk at night make sure you wear light and reflective clothing so you can be easily seen. Also, take a flashlight with.
2. Stretch, do a few quick stretches before you start out.
3. Warm up, start out my walking slowing and after about 10 minutes pick up the pace. ( if you prefer you can do some stretches after you have warmed up a bit)
4. Cool down.  Do a few stretches to help your muscles from getting stiff and keep/improve your range of motion.

Remember you need to move so "Go for a walk!"  Today!

Keep fit!

It’s Spring, Time to Hit the Trails! | Timothy Valentin

It’s Spring, Time to Hit the Trails! | Timothy Valentin

Yes, it's Spring and it is time to get of the couch and hit the trails. My daughter and I engaged in our favorite warm weather workout--a long ride on our tandem bike.

It's Spring, time for a ride!

My daughter Shana was born with Down Syndrome. I still remember when the doctor walked into the recovery room, I had my new born daughter in my arms and he announced "Well it looks like you have a Downsy." I asked, "what does that mean?"  The doctor explained it this way, "she will be as tall as an eight year old, as smart as a 6 year and die before she reaches 20."  What a thing to hear on you first day as a new parent.

Well sometimes doctors are wrong! Especially in this case. Yes, Shana is short, I don't think is quite five feet tall and she doesn't talk a whole lot but she reads well and she remembers everything.  She is smart in her own way. ( she is also quite to practical joker) And oh yeah, she turns 21 this year!

The challenge for us as parents was to figure out what Down Syndrome was, and how best to help our daughter get the most of her life.

The Challenge

Down Syndrome people tend to have low muscle tone and low metabolism, so the challenge is--how to do create a meal and exercise program to combat these limitations?

I will cover the meal plans later, for now, let's talk about the exercise program.  We take Shana on long walks - 2 to 3 miles long and bike rides. We go up to 13 miles per trip. She absolutely loves the tandem bike.

We didn't start with the tandem bike, once she was old enough we tried to get her to ride a bike with training wheels. As long as we (her mom and I) were along side her she was fine. We even gave her bike lessons, didn't go.

Then we got a three wheeled bike. Great! she loved it we would get on the trail and she would pedal  away. Problem: hills, and other people on the trail. She would steer okay but would just keep going and run into people and she really could figure out the brakes so down hill was a problem. Solution:  I tied a rope to the bike and myself. I became the brakes. The problem, I can only run so far and so fast and eventually I could not keep up with her.

Next, the tandem bike, great but will she like it? That is what were wondering. Yes.  It now has become her favorite past time and a great way for her to stay in shape.  Winter time she rides a stationary bike but summertime we are on the tandem together hitting the trails.

The point, the first solution doesn't always work, be persistant and keep looking for solutions, you will eventually find one that works for you.

Do you know someone with special needs or requires a special workout program? Leave me a comment below I would love to hear from you. hey It's Spring so hit those trails and take in some of that sunshine.

Avoid Stress And Stay Calm With These Tips | Timothy Valentin

Avoid Stress And Stay Calm With These Tips | Timothy Valentin

Avoid Stress, easier said than done? Many people are experiencing unavoidable and unwanted stress these days, and it is not only unpleasant but can also be detrimental to health. If you are one of those people who are going through a stressful time, read on for facts to help you better understand your stress, and tips to help you overcome it.

For sounds that can soothe your stressful day, get a table-top fountain. The sound of running water is therapeutic in calming the mind. These fountains come in all sizes and can be conveniently placed on a table at home or in the office. So whenever you feel stressed out, just have some quiet time and listen to you mini-waterfall.

A lot of your stress is directly caused by the food that you put in your mouth. To limit the stress level in your life, cut back on the caffeine and coffee that you drink on a daily basis. This will make you feel calmer inside so that you can maximize how you feel.

***********************

RESET YOUR 

BODY!!

***********************

Monitor your stress. Stress that becomes excessive to the point where it takes a toll on your daily life can frequently lead to depression. To avoid getting to this point, try to eliminate as much stress from your life as possible. Learn to say 'no' to others, and be sure to surround yourself with positive people and things. Try to use humor as a coping skill, as research indicates that this helps to reduce stress.

Think of a calm scene. Simply placing your thoughts on a calm beach or a cozy fireplace can be enough to destress a situation to make it more bearable. This works because it distracts your mind, but also because it helps you recreate the good feelings you feel about the relaxing scene.

If you have a lot of stress in your life, plant a garden. This will give you something to look forward to every day and a hobby to get your mind off of the difficult things at work or school. Watch your garden grow to reduce your overall level of anxiety.

A great tip for managing the stress in your life, is to create a mantra that you can repeat whenever you are feeling anxious, overwhelmed or stressed. A good mantra is a great way to affirm positive feelings and get rid of any self doubt that you may have about yourself.

Sit back and try guided imagery. This is when you close your eyes and picture yourself in the most calming surroundings. This has to be a place where you would feel calm and relaxed and not have distractions all around you. Picture every small detail of your quiet place and concentrate on them. You will feel much better in a few minutes.

Now that you are equipped to better handle the stresses of your everyday life, you have the ability to steadfastly remain calm under pressure and resilient under fire. This will help you greatly as you move forward with your life, in pursuit of the things that best bring you the most joy. "Avoid Stress," as easy as pie...
