My 1st day using the CPrime Band

My 1st day with CPrime

Let me start by saying I live my life by the following quote, "I can only speak for the things that I've been thru.'.  I hate when people try and sell me anything. It drives me crazy. I believe if you have never lived it, done it or been thru it,  you can't talk about it.  I pride myself in keeping it real and being a straight shooter, especially in business. My clients know this and so do my co-workers. This is the reason it took 6 different reps to speak to me before I decided to give CPrime a fair try.  Here is my story of my first day using the band.

So today the rep from CPrime came to FLO and talked to me about the company. The guys energy was great and he was honest with me about what to expect from the product. He put me thru some of the test to show me how the band worked. He also had scientific studies and testimonials about the product. This was my 6th time hearing about it and I thought to myself, "this is a bunch of B.S.".  This is the same thought I got every other time I heard about it. But then I heard another voice in my head saying, "if all these smart, successful people believe in it, there must be something to it. ". So I made a choice to try it and if all else failed, I would only be out $200. I have spent way more on dumber things. 

My friend Patrick was in the room when I signed up. He is super big into energetics and he put the band on and felt an immediate spike in his energy ( You have to know him to understand what I am talking about). I to felt a little different after putting the band on but I thought it must all just be in my mind.  So I went about my day and really didn't focus on the fact that I had the band on. Nothing really felt different until 3pm hit.
 Now, this next part is totally personally but I feel it is necessary to tell. Everyday around 3pm I feel super tired. It's like clockwork, no matter the day, food intake, exercise, sleep or no sleep, i just crash everyday around that time. Today was like every other day in rehab. Tons of kids came in for tape, evals, and rehab. I ran thru all of them and before I knew it, it was 4:30 and I  finally sat down for the first time. I wasn't tired and had not crashed all day. I looked at the band and said to myself, "Holy SHIT! Maybe it does work". 

This story may not mean anything to you. To me this was something huge. I have tried coffee, monster, red bull, NO Xplode and all other energy tricks to get over this crash. Nothing has worked for me. There is def something in these bands that works. My advice to people is to go out and buy just one and see for yourself. It may or may not work for you. As I said in the beginning, I can only speak for the things that i've been thru. The band worked and I am glad that I gave it a chance.  I say, do your homework and check it out. www.mycprime.com/flofitness. 

It's funny how this also reminds me of a few years ago when I started using TRX.  Most people laughed at me and said the product was just some new fad that would go away. I have always prided myself in following my gut feeling and not being afraid to try a new product. I think we all know how much TRX has grown and how many people now are no longer laughing but rather ask for help on how to use it.  You gotta dare to be different. Thanks for reading. This whole blog to me can be summed up in the following quote: 

"If you're not prepared to be wrong, you will never come up with anything original"

Taking the NEXT STEP

Taking the NEXT STEP!! Im sure we have all reached a  point in our lives where we know its time to take that next step, next level, begin the next chapter in our life. It is by far  one of the scariest times for all of us. The point where we realize everything we have ever done has led us to THIS! This is our moment to shine and like Eminem says, " You only get one shot, do not miss your chance blow. Opportunity comes once in a life.".  The one scary thing is, you know after THIS moment, nothing will ever be the same.  Once you cross THIS line, you can not go back.  THIS is it and the pressure is on. They say, "Pressure bust pipes, but It can also make diamonds.", only you can decide what it does to you.  We all get to THIS moment, but few rise to the occasion. Few feel the fear and keep walking forward.  You can either step into greatness or step back into comfort.  Many will choose to step down and let THIS moment pass them by. Once they do that, the rest of t...

Quad & Hip Flexor Mobility & Flexibility

Why is it important to include mobility work for the quads and hip flexors? Tight muscles in the anterior compartment of the leg can cause a number of problems, two of which I will discuss in this blog. 1.     Tight quadriceps and hip flexors can put you at an increased risk for a hamstring injury. When people say that a muscle is “tight,” they are essentially saying that the muscle is chronically shortened. Without getting too much into the anatomical specifics, when the hip flexors are “tight,” or shortened, they pull on the lumbar spine. This pull on the lumbar spine increases the curve of the lumbar spine (excessive lordosis) and in turn causes an anterior pelvic tilt.  When the pelvis tilts anteriorly, the hamstrings (attached to the ischial tuberosity) can become excessively stretched/lengthened, which can lead to a strain. Therefore, by keeping the hip flexors and quadriceps at proper length, we can keep our ...

TOP 2 Mistakes most young fitness pros make with their programming                   After 3 years of running a mentor program for fitness pros, 6 years of being an adjunct professor at a college for Athletic Training majors, 6 years of being a preceptor for 3 colleges Athletic Training programs, and 16 years in the fitness industry; I have seen my fair share of programming.   There are many mistakes that beginner fitness pros make, as they should because they are new, and with this blog I would like to talk about the top 2 that I see all the time. 1)       Planes of Motion.   I cannot stress enough how important it is the train your athletes/clients in ALL three planes of motion.
