Belly Buster

Hello everyone and welcome...one last drill for hard abs. Lie flat on
the floor, legs straight, arms up overhead and hands holding a 12
pound weight (or greater). Now, keeping weight overhead, above
forehead, sit up. If you move your hands downward as you come
up. you are doing it wrong. Do five sets 10 times each. Keeping
the weight over forehead, arms outstretched is key. Attaining rock
hard abs...each drill is based on tightening stomach muscles. So, this drill and the drills posted in last week's blog will put you on
track for rock hard abs. Your hard core will help you reach a higher
level competing and working out. Over the past month we have
covered the importance of meditation, proper breathing, attaining
proper balance and developing your core. These drills will help in
ridding stress...the silent killer. Next week...foods that help reach
peak performance.

Have a meaningful life...Jimmy O

AB Challenge

Hello and welcome everyone...if you want a challenge for working
your abs, read the following. I do not believe in situps or crunches.
Those two just roll the fat around...you must tighten the stomach
muscles. 1) sitting upright, legs straight, hands outside your legs,
slowly lean back until you are at 90 degress and hold for count of
25. 5 sets. 2) Lay flat on floor with elbows under you shoulders and
raise up on your toes w/elbows on floor and hold for count of 25.
Five sets. 3) Hanging from bar overhead, come up and extend fingers past your toes and hold for count of 25. Ten sets. 4) Jumping, hands waist high, as you jump bend knees and touch hands...jump 30 times in 15 sec. 5 sets. 5) Carry 10 pound weight
and hold out in front of you running up an incline of 10 yards or
stairs of 20 or more steps. Five sets. Work these drills 3X a week.
After drills, sprint 50m three times. This workout is the belly buster. Next week...one more tough drill.

InsideOut

Hello and welcome everyone...over the past few weeks we have stressed the mental side as dominate in being all we can be. The
World Cup concludes later today. All of the players (except for 3 or 4) are equal in skill set...the physical. The mental side has determined the outcome. The players without that mental toughness
cracked. The key word this week...passion. Winning starts from
within. There are some, perhaps a majority, who believe that winners need the best sports gear and best physical assets to win. I
am not of that camp. I work with and train men and women with
physical/ mental challenges who are winners. Most Olympic & World champions have a disability.
 Winners overcome and rise above short
comings. They look for reasons to win and not excuses to lose. In
closing let's address supplements. Let's begin with voltage, fuse and
use the word electricity for energy. When you overload the power
source, you "blow a fuse." This principle applies to overloading our
body with additives. People take so many additives and most at one
time, they don't know which one's work causing a "power outage."
Winning begins from inside out,
Have a meaningful life everyone...Jimmy O

Mind Travel

Hello and welcome everyone...the World Cup has captured our
attention, and for good reason. World class athletes with the skill
and mental toughness. As each contest progresses and the body tires, the mind takes over and excels and crowns the winner. Luck
seldom results in winning. I have never seen a "can of luck" that I
could buy at the grocery store. My three words this week...meditation, patience and vision. Reference...Insight vs data
by Nathan Kinch. Read in LinkedIn. Mind over Body Sport Psychology. And then go to You Tube and click on Alex Smith,
and view his commencement speech delivered to University of
Utah graduates. Alex is the NFL quarterback for Kansas City Chiefs. Highlights of that speech...recognize weakness, embrace the news, put your faith in yourself over your fears.

Have a meaningful life everyone...Jimmy O
