6 Biggest Exercise Mistakes Nearly Everyone Makes:

1. Doing Exercise You Don’t Enjoy

I used to think that to be fit or to look a certain way I had to do this or that particular exercise. I was wrong, and my motivation suffered as a result. Working out should make you happy. You should get excited abut the thought of your workout. If you’re always dreading tomorrow’s workout, how do you expect this healthy habit to last a lifetime? Find physical activity you enjoy and love and you will never exercise a day in your life.

2. Doing Too Much Exercise

Exercise is great, so more is better – right? Wrong. I’ve tried to out-exercise a bad diet in the past and have failed miserably every time. The amount of exercise needed to “cancel” out a bad meal is enormous. In addition, it has always lead to an injury. It certainly is possible to do hours of intense exercise a day, but it’s something that has to be worked up to. For most people that want to be fit and health and look good doing it, a few intense workouts a week combined with staying active is plenty to get the job done.

3. Exercising Through Injuries

Even to this day I have a tough time with this one. I always seem to get an injury at the peek of my motivation. I don’t want to stop exercising – and I don’t. Dumb! As a result, I push through the pain and the injury never gets better. I go through the 5 stages of grief before I do the right thing – rest the injury. I know you don’t want to stop, but trust me, the longer you put off recovery of the injury, the longer you’re going to have to wait before you can go at full intensity. Nagging injuries are a pain in the butt.

4. Not Warming Up Correctly

Throughout school I was taught to warm up properly by doing static stretches. Static stretches are stretches you hold for a period of time. For example, bending over and touching your toes and holding for 10 seconds. Later in life I found out that this did little for improving muscular performance or reducing injuries. Instead, dynamic stretching is where it’s at. Dynamic stretching produces significantly greater performance when compared to static stretching protocols.

5. Thinking You Need to Separate Strength and Cardio Training

More and more people are discovering the benefits of high-intensity interval training. I used to come from a bodybuilding background where strength training and cardio were two separate workouts. This training became so popularized that people started to forget that cardio is simply cardiovascular training. Cardiovascular training can also be accomplished at the same time as strength training. You just need to push the intensity of your workouts. HIIT is a great way to do this.

6. Working Out Your Ego Instead of Your Muscles

In my younger lifting career, I wouldn’t be caught dead doing an exercise that didn’t have a significant amount of weight on the bar. I was the king of the quarter squat. But boy did my ego feel good. Unfortunately, this came at the expense of muscle growth. Today, this is still one of the biggest exercise mistakes I see in the gym. Don’t worry about what anyone else thinks. Work out with a weight that allows you to use proper form and move through the full range of motion. If you need an ego stroking, there are better ways.

Workouts are like cars, they run on fuel. It’s important to give your body energy to burn. Feeling light headed and tired kills my motivation during workouts. It’s also dangerous. Be kind to your body and nourish it!

50 Ways to Love Yourself Better Than You Do Right Now

Sat, 30 Mar 2013 13:16:52 +0000

50 Ways to Love Yourself Better Than You Do Right Now:

motherlotus:

Examine the feeling of not being good enough and the reasons you struggle to love yourself and replace them with a sense of wonder and ease.

Create a long list of all the things you do well and read it to yourself often.

Say only nice things about your body and the amazing things it enables you to experience in your life.

Lift your head up as you walk – and SMILE as you go!

Listen to music with a positive message of life and love (try Blessed by Brett Dennen)

Hire a photographer to take amazing photos of yourself to see your beauty as others see it.

Make a list of all the things you’re grateful for about Who You Are.

Every night before bed tell yourself and your body how much you appreciate it.

Stand naked in front of the mirror and make peace with the physical body that houses Who You Really Are.

List 7 reasons why your hardest challenges or worst mistakes or most unloved qualities have been a beautiful thing for you.

Then ask yourself for forgiveness for not seeing it all earlier.

Tell others what you love about you.

STOP doing exercise that doesn’t make you smile or laugh! Go roller skating or dancing or trampolining instead!

Chew your food slowly, savor each flavor and focus on the nourishment you’re offering yourself.

Take everything out of your closet and only put back in the things that make you FEEL amazing when you wear them!

Allow yourself time to “do nothing”.

Give yourself time to understand that all these ways to love yourself need to be done with passion and authentic intention, and not just something you tick off a list.

Stop making excuses for what you love and just LOVE IT OUT LOUD dammit!

If you’re not feeling “good” when someone asks how you are, give yourself permission to be authentic and tell the truth (and maybe ask for some support).

Spend lots of time in meditation or prayer or stillness.

Light candles, put on sexy music and make love to your own body.

Eat when you’re hungry. Rest when you’re tired. Tell the world your needs matter by making them a priority over the dishes or the laundry.

Surround yourself with tribes of amazing women who will remind you of Who You Are when you forget about the ways to love yourself.

Throw your head back and laugh out loud!

Two words: Body. Paint. (Bonus points if you share the photos.)

You know that one thing that looks so cool but you’ve been rattling off excuses why you can’t try it? Go do it.

Join a daily or weekly self-portrait challenge and see yourself in a new light.

Understand how it is you learned to not love yourself so you can break the habit for good.

Give yourself permission to sob when your heart is hurting.

Write down 5 ways to love yourself each morning before you even start your day.

Celebrate your scars and stretch marks.

Commit to only using positive words to describe yourself…instead of “I don’t know how” say “I’ve yet to learn that”. “I screwed that up” becomes “I learned some really good things here.” I’m serious, try it.

Replace “have to” with “get to” and begin to see that life is always an opportunity for you to show off your prowess.

Find the one hairstyle that allows your inner self to glow and rock it – no matter how wild it is!

Create a list of people you deeply admire and why. Then remember that you can only admire in others what your heart calls it’s own Truth. Stand in that Truth and be what you admire.

Stop calling yourself “lazy” or “stupid” and replace it with a compassionate description of Who You Are

Buy or gather your favorite flowers, and write yourself a love note to go with it.

Make yourself a yummy meal or take yourself out to dinner to eat in the peaceful company of YOU.

Choose to be in a relationship with your life and experiences.

Give love to others, not because of who they are, but because of Who You Are.

Schedule your own spa day and pamper yourself. Include the kids! Or the partner! Or your best girlfriends!

Learn to listen to and trust your intuition.

Practice Nonviolent Communication with yourself.

Go get a chair massage at the mall.

Let your toes loose and go outside (or even to the store) barefoot and free.

Replace one food that makes you feel bad with one yummy food that makes you feel great.

Give yourself permission to say no to the things that make you unhappy and yes to the things you’d rather do instead.

Share a photo of your imperfect booty with the world.

Make one small space in your home a reflection of Who You Are – ditch what you don’t love or use often, paint the walls, bring in a comfy place to sit, light your candles, pile up your journal, books and art supplies, listen to inspiring music and dwell there often.

Write yourself a love letter. And frame that bad boy. Look at it anytime you need to remember how beautiful you are.
