Workin It!

Yesterday was another workout day.  It was quicker than I anticipated taking only 50 minutes.  There is no soreness today.  So far everything is on track.  I have not noticed any major changes in measurements as of yet, nor did I expect to: minor fluctuations that I attribute to stomach contents at this point and nothing on say the arms and thighs.   I can say that the most value added move in the 10 exercises that I do (which occur both workouts) are the kettlebell swings as it incorporates a heavy weight that uses many muscle groups.  I did this and Bosu ball ab workouts each time and it just so happens that both of these exercises were also discussed in the 4HB albeit in different articles.

I’m going to intensify my workouts by truly zoning in on the 5 second slow reps and adding weight.  I am noticing significant gains in strength already and this is just workout number 2!  I attribute this to the constant disciplined flow of protein and supplements, but maybe also to the fact that I didn’t overwork the muscles previously and gave them plenty of rest.  It’s still too early to tell officially.

The interesting thing is this experiment to me is sparking self-improvement by truly taking control over at least one thing in my life.  If you do this the rest of your life will begin to sync up.  This goes along with the famous book “Awaken the Giant Within” by Tony Robbins that I just started.

I’m a huge skeptic and the overtly positive language is sometimes hard for me to get into however the principles of re-programming the way you think are invaluable.  Simple changes in your chosen adjectives, metaphors, to a more positive or substantial one makes your mind work for you in changing your outlook.  Doing all of these things help build the right frame of mind to achieve goals.  When you do this (and this sounds crazy) you might just notice that the world will start lining things up for you.  It’s synchronicity.
