Hello and welcome everyone...efficiency is the critical standard in everything we do. Ever watch someone running a race and starts losing? They begin to flail like a fish out of water. Efficiency begins even before you start your training. It begins with your work habits, handling money, wasting food and being sloppy. It begins with your attitude. Your brain is key. Results expected and results achieved and you want that efficiency line to be at or close to results expected. Your brain sends desired act to desired muscles and your breathing controls oxygen level based on energy exertion.
Controlling and mastering those 3 "pilots" is your way to success in training and competing. Breathing exercises should be an integral part of warm ups, drills and cool downs. All of us must have "on demand" times in training and events. Breath in and exhale slowly. Exercising that will increase your lung capacity. The
desired response to your "demand" takes practice and training. Even when you think you are out of "gas" you are not. When you feel that "rush" you don't even remember breathing or running out of gas. see you at the Finish Line. www.secondwindfitnessfilm.com

GET UP
Welcome everyone...most of us demand more endurance in our workouts and competitive events. Well, try this...Wheat Grass! Liquid if you can get it, if not then capsules. Wheat Grass is high in
chlorophyll which produces oxygen. More oxygen into the blood
stream. I also use ginger root and garlic...all natural. My new workout...SNAPIT. Fast, quick and exhausting for best results. All
drills, 30 sec. each. Select seven/eight drills. Total workout time, 60 minutes. My selection...jump rope, cone drill, jumping jacks, push ups, stairs, push the 2x4, 8 lb. wt. squat and jump holding wt. over head, skip forward and backward. Rotate and repeat.

B&B#3
Hello and welcome everyone...this is the 3rd of a 4 part series of
Balance and Breathing. Review part two then read the following. Lay the palms of your hands on your stomach just below the rib cage, middle fingers barely touching each other, and take a slow deep breath. As the diaphragm pushes down, the stomach will slightly expand causing the fingertips to separate. This movement
indicates full use of the lungs, resulting in a truly deep breath rather
than the "puffed chest" breath experienced by many. Chest breathing fills the middle and upper parts of the lungs. Belly
breathing is the most efficient method. Infants and children use only this method until the chest matures. Yoga breath or roll breathing combines belly and chest breathing. For best results,
practice this exercise for 5 minutes. Caution...for older people: never do panting or shallow breathing except while seated.
Hyperventilation may occur. When I learned how to breath properly, my performance, endurance and stamina increased.
Have a meaningful life everyone...Jimmy O

Hello and welcome everyone...con't breathing and balance. Strive for full body alignment...mind, muscles, breathing and balance will
produce greater performance, energy and endurance. Rapid, shallow breathing. This type of breathing is often caused by poor
posture and weak or stiff muscles leads poor oxygen supply,
respiratory disease, sluggishness or heart disease. Simple ways to
deepen breathing and to cleanse the lungs. These exercises increase
energy and decrease tension. 1) lie flat on your back and have pillows for under your neck and knees creating a sight rise in the
stomach upon inhaling and slight fall when exhaling. 2) place hands palm down on stomach at base of rib cage. Lungs go down
that far. What fills them deeper is the pushing down of the diaphragm, creating a suction drawing air into the lungs. Air is
expelled when diaphragm pushes up. Process...oxygen fills lungs and gets into blood stream for distribution to the cells. Carbon dioxide is expelled from the blood when exhaling cleansing the
body. Continued next week.

B&B #1
Hello and welcome everyone...let's get it on. Fitness people, listen up! Not all fitness evolves around weight lifting, treadmills, shoes
or wheels. When attaining and maintaining desired levels of speed,
muscle mass, endurance and conditioning...pay attention to proper
breathing and functional balance. Just because you can walk without falling, does not mean you have functional balance. In my
athletic summer camps, teenagers think they have balance...until
they engage in the first session. We want to train the brain to send
the correct signal to the muscles to give us the performance desired,
known as the PSYCHOLOGICAL MOMENT performance. Balance is attained from the inner ear and nerve endings in our feet.
Breathing exercises are critical. A 20% reduction in oxygen blood
levels may be caused by the aging process and normal breathing
habits. Poor breathing robs energy and negatively affects mental
alertness. Unless breathing is exercised, aging affects the respiratory system as follows. Stiffness and rapid shallow breathing. Continued next week.

Psy Moment
Hello and welcome everyone...my blog has covered and illustrated
various drills and exercises, plyo, iso, weight room, prep and cool
down, mental toughness, cross training, my personal training programs and most sports...also included were natural foods for
increased energy and remedies to combat pain. Getting back to new
drills...we start with breathing exercises and meditation. My reference sources are Lumosity, Dr. Oz, Johns Hopkins Inst., Mayo
Clinic and Duke Univ. Breathing exercises should be practiced at
least twice a day...benefit, expand the lungs for more oxygen capacity. More oxygen equals more energy, endurance, strength,
confidence and mental discipline. Enhances one's "performance
rhythm." Meditation...isn't new, however it is new to the sports
world, in training prior to competing and in every day life for many
of us. The approach to proper training and competing is changing.
Our aptitude for that psychological moment is critical..."the time
when a person is most apt to react in the desired manner."

ATP (recap)
Hello and welcome everyone...let's make this simple. Muscles run on ATP, and we have three ways of making ATP.
1) The aerobic system...A) makes lots of ATP slowly. B) Burns fat
and sugar to make ATP. C) Is oxygen dependent. D) Gives endless
energy. 2) The lactate system...A) Makes less ATP but does it fast.
B) Burns only sugar to make ATP. C) Requires no oxygen. D) Yields up to seven minutes of energy. 3) The creatine-phosphate
system. A) Makes small amounts of ATP super fast. B) ATP comes
from stored ATP and creatine-p inside muscle. C) Does not need
oxygen, fat or sugar to function. D) Lasts ten seconds. Understanding the three systems will allow you to design an effective training program. It will help you understand when and
what to eat. It gives you the basis for selecting the right length and
intensity of your workouts.
