Fix it

Hello and welcome everyone...rehab is no fun. Guessing game...should I or not. Weather you compete or just walking, most therapists' agree that one must keep blood flow to the area of "hurt." Message and light stretching are a must. Help in healing...moat "over the counter" meds fall short. Here are two of mine...for acute pain, Arnicare. For chronic pain, Wintergreen. We need a healer that penetrates...NOT a bandaid.

Next writing...a brand new series...exciting...it will get to you! Jimmy o   www.secondwindfitnessfilm.com

# Home Brewed

Hello and welcome everyone...no money to invest in work out equipment? Listen up. Participants in my fitness/training classes confess...spent 1000's and never even opened up the boxes. Equipment is a multi Billion a year business. You don't have to spend any $$$. Let's take a look. 1) look around where you reside...old tires, put some concrete mix in them, let it harden for 48 hours. Flip in over and over again for 10m. On the way back w/rope tied to the tire and other end around your chest or waist and sprint back 10m. 2) perhaps there is an old huge tractor tire around and weighs over 50 lbs. 3) Tie one or two concrete blocks  to your bike and ride 400m. or more. 4) Loop a rope around a tree or other fixed object, Loop rope hand, arms out stretched, lean back and pull until you are upright. 3 sets, 10 to each set. 5) Push ups w/someone putting pressure on your back. Do standing pushups w/feet 1/2 ft. from wall. Yes, you can have someone apply pressure v. your back. Just a few of the dozens of "home made" Tool box. secondwindfitnessfilm.com

Tale of the Tape

 Welcome everyone...sports produces that "tape measure" on everything The players and fans are glued to the tape. Question? Are you tracking your results v. effort? If not, you have very little on where you are at. Guessing, assuming, hope are not strategies for arriving at your 'Peak Performance.' Track reps, type, time, results. What do you want to accomplish, results expected, results achieved equals degree of efficientcy. It isn't amount of time spent...it's about how, why, results. When I prepare for the 100m. event, I break it down...1) block explosion, 1st 3m. Over and over again to attain results expected. Time. 2) Explosion 1st 5m. Time. 3) 1st 10m. Time. 4) 1st 40m. time. 5) At 80m. time. 6) at 90m. time. 7) At 103m. Time. I train at 103m. No quit. Every segment is analyzed. I have to at full bore at 10m. I am 5'7" 147lbs. I have to turn more revolutions per meter than someone six foot. I apply the same thing in my prep for the 200m. I my disadvantage into a strength. GET OUT FAST...and break down the the stride of the opponents. TURN a weakness into winning. Always about Time and the TAPE. secondwindfitnessfilm.com  Jimmy O

Bare? No-not quite

Welcome every one...aaahhh, yes. Bare gets attention. At home, in your office, in the park...you want better functional balance, mental/physical alertness...take off your shoes and walk around in your stocking feet. Shoes are restrictive. Most of our nerve endings are in our feet. Let our feet take over...you want better awareness, more long lasting energy...let your feet do the talking. Feet are the "generators." First to the Finish Line...where winners and survivors always meet.

# ENOUGH

Welcome everyone...For any type of training/exercise...how much time is enough to invest in your in your status, training practice in order to attain and reach the peak of your "MT. Everest?" To gain entry into the "winners circle." Let me get personal...as a competitor in the Senior Olympics...tract and field, tennis, racquetball...for just the 100M, I train/practice 800 sec. a week, 40,000,000 Mil. a year to win. That is what I need. I am locked in to that number. I have 14 sec. to prove myself. Enough is the unknown number. The math applies to business as well. First to the Finish Line...where winners and survivors always meet. Jimmy O www.secondwindfitnessfilm.com

MOTIVATION

Welcome everyone...the intangible of motivation needs to be understood...in order to attain and maintain "raising  the bar" in our quest for greater degree of success. Most confuse "a bribe" as motivation. Remember back when..."if you mind the baby sitter, I will get you a candy bar." That is a bribe. "If you get a shot, you get a beer." Bribe. Motivation comes from within. One's fulfilment in marriage, profession, status comes from Giving...NOT Taking. Training, exercise, competing...for peak performance driven from within. Boredom, laxation, mistakes are prevented from within. Most of us don't want are lives to be short lived. There are no dress rehearsals in life. Get rid of boredoms in your workouts. Start and end from within. Next writing..."how much is enough?" Jimmy O

HERO

Welcome every one...Simone Biles is this weeks Hero...first women to land a Yurchenko double pike in competition at the U.S. Classic. Viewers only saw the final result. But the coaches and teammates know the whole story...minute by minute...step by step...and yes, some miss steps along the way. Long before that historic moment...Simone visualized herself doing it and getting right. She began to act and behave as though she was already there. The impact Simone had on herself and others was in direct proportion to her own self image. Visualize yourself as already being there...in what ever you endeavor. Its yours...if you can see it...if you can feel it. Jimmy O
