What does your perfect day look like?

By: 0

In this video we ask the question, "What does your perfect day look like?" Have you ever asked yourself that question before? If not, it might be worth a try. In this video we'll specifically be talking about your perfect day and goals as they relate to health and fitness. Does your perfect day involve great sleep, more energy, less weight, etc.? It's not the same for everyone, which is why it's really important to ask yourself the question. In order to make progress towards your health goals and your perfect health day your goals need to be SMART. Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Timely. So, saying something like "I just want to lose weight" is not a SMART goal. Something like I want to lost 20lbs in the next two months is a SMART goal. In addition to asking yourself whether your goals are smart or not, you need to ask yourself what you're willing to give up (and not willing to give up) to achieve. There's a saying that "Everyone wants to go to heaven, but no one wants to die to get there." No where is that more true than with health and fitness goals. So when trying to figure out you're perfect day and goals for health ask yourself what you're willing to do to get there. So, what does your perfect day look like?

NEW OLY CYCLE  Snatch ?????????????? A) Snatch from Hip 5x2 Execution  Stand tall with the bar in a snatch-width grip. Hinge at the hips and bend the knees slightly, keeping the bar tucked into the crease of the hips, and initiate the hang snatch from this position.   Purpose The purpose of the hip snatch is to force an extremely aggressive final extension in the pull and to practice the proper position and balance at this stage of the lift, in particular the placement of the bar all the way into the crease of the hips. It will also help improve the pull under the bar due to the limited ability of the athlete to accelerate and elevate the bar first. B) Snatch with 2s Pause above knee 2rm C) Snatch Pull Pause at knee 6s 3x2 D) Snatch Push Press + Overhead Squat - 3+1 This will be 3 SPP + 1 OHS  Execution Stand with the barbell behind your neck as it would be in a back squat, holding it with a snatch-width grip. Keep your shoulder blades squeezed back together and your trunk stabilized tightly. Dip smoothly at the knees and drive hard against the floor with the legs as you would for the jerk to accelerate and elevate the bar. As the bar leaves the shoulders, continue pressing it with the arms straight up into the proper snatch overhead position, locking it in tightly before lowering the bar for the next rep. Unless doing otherwise for a specific reason, drive the bar as hard as possible with the legs. Reset in a standing position before starting each rep. Purpose The snatch push press uses leg drive to move more weight into the overhead position and increase the strength development of the arms for the snatch receiving position. The greater weights relative to the snatch press also mean more work for the upper back and trunk. The snatch push press is also commonly used to move the bar into the overhead position for overhead squats, or in a complex with overhead squats. Heavy set of the complex

Natural Ways to Manage High Cholesterol

By: 0

In this video we talk about natural ways to manage high cholesterol. We talk about
  • The standard of care for high cholesterol
  • What's wrong with the the standard of care
  • What really causes high cholesterol
  • How to lower high cholesterol naturally
If you take nothing else away from this video take the following idea away: High cholesterol is a symptom, not a disease. High cholesterol is the equivalent of a fire alarm going off in the presence of a fire. The problem is NOT the fire alarm (i.e., high cholesterol), the problem is the fire (i.e., what's causing high cholesterol in the first place). So, what is high cholesterol a symptom of? More often than not, high cholesterol is a symptom of chronic and systemic inflammation. If chronic and system inflammation are not managed then that will almost always negatively impact cholesterol levels.
