"Change Your Attitude. Change Your Life."

Legs

Legs are sometimes the least favorite body part most people want to work on. Being a larger muscle group they are often easily fatigued and take a lot of energy out of you. Due to inflexibility of the hamstrings and weakness of the quadriceps muscles people often experience a little muscular pain and tension. The following lower body exercises are meant to add variety and exitement into your lower body workouts. They are ment to strengthen the quads and improve flexibility in the hamstrings.  They are dynamic in nature and will also help to improve balance. Exercises with dumbells and medicine balls are ment to improve overall strength, flexibility and coordination. Perform them with care and strict form.

Full Body Exercises    

Bootcamp exercises can be used to improve agility, cardio respiratory endurance, muscular endurance, and to some degree muscular strength.  Combined with individual and partner exercises, these drills require participants to change their positions rapidly and do various basic skills in all planes of motion.  These are my favorite exercises. I’ve used them in my personal fitness routines and you can used them to improve your cardiovascular efficiency and weight loss.   Over the next 10 weeks I will post a home made bootcamp program for all to participate in.  If you’re following along I would like to get your feedback.  Hooaah!!

Where has the family dining experience gone?

Do you remember back in the day when having dinner at home used to be a family nostalgic experience? From the preparation, to dining, to the table discussions after dinner. These were well spent quality times. We would chat and laugh  for a while then sometimes even go for long walks.  Where have those days gone? Many families today have kids, adolescents and teenagers that typically have unhealthy eating habits that are uncontrollable. Some gravitate to foods that are high in fats, others to sugary junk foods while some just restrict their food intake, cutting calories and skipping foods that have a high nutritional value.
