P90X , Have You Tried It?

Today's workout that we are featuring is one that is near and dear to me because it was the one that led me to become a Team BeachBody Coach. It is the one and only P90X! This workout is the best selling and most famous of the BeachBody workouts. P90X was developed as the follow up to Tony Horton's P90 series. The workout was designed to help you achieve maximum results in 90 days.

P90X is broken down into 12 different intense workouts. They use elements of cardio, resistance training, body weight training, yoga, ab work, and martial arts. There is also a nutrition plan included in P90X. The workouts get intense but they are not impossible. P90X is kind of equipment heavy unless you modify and use the resistance features. Even modification still provides great results!

CrossFit Phenomenon

Hello health and Wellness world! This week here at Life Flow Wellness we will be focusing on some different workout regiments. The first one we will be diving into is CrossFit. CrossFit was developed by a guy named Coach Greg Glassman. The regiment was developed over a period of decades. If you want to sum up what CrossFit is it can be described as "constantly varied functional movements performed at relatively high intensity" according to CrossFit.com. Some examples of CrossFit exercises are: kettle bell swings, clean and jerk, and ( probably the most popular) burpees. To learn more about CrossFit check out CrossFit.com.

Where Are You Now?

It seems most of us came into the New Year focused and ready to make those changes that will get us to the next level. Some us made commitments to saving money, some committed to getting in shape and living healthier, and others wanted to give up various things.

Well we are almost two complete months into the New Year and my question is "where are you now?" The fact is a lot of people get discouraged around this time of year and they give up on their goals. At this rate a lot of gyms become empty, income tax money is blown, and people go back to their old ways that they say they left in last year!

Here is a thought, "those goals that you have abandoned, they are still yours!" That's right, you own the rights to them. When you commit to something, in any form of fashion, you, by default, sign a mental contract. Once it is a done deal you owe it to yourself to see that obligations arr fulfilled. There are some things that were thought of that only you could accomplish for yourself. No one else can get shape for you or save your money for you! These are things, once accomplished,will give you a sense of ownership like nothing else!

So if you have fallen off of the wagon get back up! It's not too late to put those plans into action and make those changes you need to make for yourself!

Are you not Motivated?

Motivation is an interesting factor because it can come in so many forms for different people. The fact that motivation can occur in any circumstance or state makes it kind of a random event.

Well this entry is about the most obvious form of motivation and that is the one that comes from YOU! That's right you are can be an excellent source for your own motivation. Whether its getting up and exercising, eating healthier, or starting a new running regiment it all starts with you. The very reason you decide to commit to a  lifestyle change can be the very thing that keeps you motivated through the process.

It's great to have people in your corner to support you but there is nothing like being a self starter and your own cheerleader!

Fitness and Community

Hello health and wellness family! We all are tend to know generally what it means to be a community. What we don't utilize is the fact that in our communities are families that co-exist together. In other words we live life together. Fitness and health are vital in our communities. Many of us don't think about health, fitness, and wellness in the same setting as community. Life Flow Wellness was established to re-emphasize the importance of these values. Helping people to achieve optimum health and wellness is what this movement stands for!!!
