Jimmy O's Menu # 2

Welcome everyone...to get there, start here. I needed to have my entire body, mind and spirit in "sync." Even though I competed in various sports through out my life, I felt I needed a "road map" to ready myself for the Senior Olympics, the Masters and the Nationals. Jan. 2004 my training began, only to hit a roadblock in March. My physician informed me I had prostate cancer. Elected to have the seed implant. Only missed two weeks of training. 2004 was a very tough year for me. Still managed to win a dozen gold medals, 3 silver and 3 bronze. When you have to pea every 20/30 minutes and still get to the starting line on time, that will test you. December of that year, I decided to have a complete blood study. What did my body need to compete at the highest level. Did not want to guess. Went to a nutritionist and added more to my "roadmap." Once a week had a session with a Reflexologist. And twice a week massage was in order. Next blog, my eating habits.

WHAT'S ON YOUR MENU

Welcome everyone...taking one's inventory, defining one's self is  a very difficult task. Most people shun away from that duty However, it is a cleansing of mind, body and soul. That task lifts you to a higher level. Perform this necessary task once a year. There should be a "center of gravity" in each of us. I do not believe in a status quo...only a statue stays the same. Fitness, training and competing at all levels requires long repetitive hours of belief in yourself. A multi billion dollar a year is bent on feeding us the "miracle pill." Another billion dollar a year business in equipment
is ready to throw machines at us. In my interviews with over 100's of men and women in all levels training and competition, I have asked this question..."have the supplements helped your performance?" Response, "I don't know." Over the next few weeks, my blogs will fully inform you of my eating habits and workouts and competition rituals. Start at the beginning...define where you are at.

ASTRONOMY TO WORKOUTS

Welcome everyone...alignment in navigating outer space is critical. So to in working out and training. Every day I observe men and women in the weight room, running and application in all sports...yes, even walking. When the muscles, joints, brain is not aligned properly, your desired results will fall short by as much as 70% percent. Most injuries in most sports and competitions are self imposed. Joints, back aches, pulled muscles and muscle stress, lack of endurance and exertion, lack of energy are causes/results of doing something wrong. Learning proper technique is your passport to a passing grade, improved results, entry to the winners circle. Functional movement, speed, skill, change of direction and "on top of your game" and your mental toughness will be yours by going in the right direction...up. www.secondwindfitnessfilm.com

A Woman's Dream

Welcome everyone...read and get to know the name Samantha Sepulneda. She followed her dream, arriving in the US at age 5. Her travel log began from the Dominican Republic. Samantha's mother accepted a job working in a factory. You will be amazed at what Samantha has already accomplished Everyone's dream begins with a "seed" nurtured by the brain and matures by your written note. When you stop dreaming, you short circuit your life. We don't know how we will make the dream a reality...you just know you will reach it. There are no roads for the pioneer...you make your own paths, Google Samantha Sepulneda. Why is it that people going against all odds and people physically/mentally challenged, accomplish more than :"normal people?" www.secondwindfitnessfilm.com

KINESIOLOGY

Welcome everyone...study of muscle and their movements. In my decades of studying body movement, I have noted glaring "mental abuse" of both men and women in their approach and application re exercise. The brain must send the proper signal to the proper muscles in directing to achieve the proper action or reaction. Too often the brain and muscles are going in opposite directions; thus desired result is not reached and or injury is an undesired product. Over the next few weeks we will discover how to appreciate proper body motion. For starters...too many people rush to start and finish each exercise. We send mixed signals to our brain and "garbage" appears on the report card. www.secondwindfitnessfilm.com

ROPE & WATER

Welcome everyone...muscle confusion. Yes! From sprinting in water depths of one to three feet of water. At one foot you are forced to bring your knees up so you bring each foot out of the water in your strides. Great for knees and hips. Try about three feet of water, sprint, keeping feet in water or knee deep. Great for squads strength. Also, don't forget water aerobics. Rope. 20 to 30 feet in length...after knots are made. Fix one end of rope to tree limb or any other object. Remember, as you climb, all your weight is on the rope. Knot should be about 3 feet apart. Use both hands and feet to climb. Alternate to hands only or feet only. Go slow in descending. All the above...great for conditioning and endurance.
