Order of Operations/Exercises

Remember order of operation from math class. Do you divide, multiply, add or subtract first? There were reason and rules as towhy one came before the other. This same concept should be taken when writing an exercise program. Certain exercises should come before others in order to prep the body for success. Obviously it will all depend on the clients end goals. Too often I'm seeing trainers just putting a ton of random exercises together with no rhyme or reason. This could be the same reason many of the athletes or people they train are getting injured. Your using the Wrong order of operations to solve your fitness equations.  
   Let's be honest about fitness, anyone can make a person sweat and feel drained from a workout. This does not mean the workout was effective. For example, if you superset 100 jumping jacks after every exercise you do tomorrow, I can bet you will be sweating and feel dead after your workout. (I bet some people are actually going to try this) Do you think this would be a smart workout to give an athlete the day before tryouts? Do you think this is a smart workout to give a female client who wears heels all day at work? I hope you say no to these question.  I'm not saying workouts should not be creative and tough. I'm simply saying there needs to be a order to follow to ensure that your clients get a good, safe and effective workout. 
     My advice to you is to look at your workout program. Check your Order of operations, and make sure it makes sense and that there is a purpose for the exercise you choose.

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

Positive Attracts Positive

Ever hang around some negative people or in a negative environment? How did you feel during and after you had left? Did you feel drained of energy and just not happy about the situation you were currently in? Guess what.. your attitude, drive and passion effects others around you. If you create that positive energy and always surround yourself with positive, upbeat, driven people, you can only find more success in life. Being surrounded by my Flo Family along with everyone else such as Patrick Lerouge (www.revivetm.com) or Paul Newell (www.balancedwellness.org), I started to see my true potential and what I am truly capable of. They bring out the best in me because of their positive energy. They believe I can do it and push me to my limits. Even when I feel so uncomfortable with doing something, such as speaking in front of a group... they pushed me knowing that I could do it. I would have never seen myself get this far into my career without the Flo Family. I have learned so much, m

Are you brave enough for a COLD SHOWER?

Why I Take Cold Showers And You Should Too For the past three years I’ve taken a cold shower almost every single day. You might think I’m crazy and at first; trust me, at first I thought I was too. But hold your judgment, hear me out, give it a try and then you can thank me. What are the benefits of cold showers? 1.     Improve Mood A 2007 study looked at how cold showers affected people with depression. Here is what the authors of the study hypothesized: “Exposure to cold is known to activate the sympathetic nervous system and increase the blood level of beta-endorphin and noradrenaline and to increase synaptic release of noradrenaline in the brain as well. Additionally, due to the high density of cold receptors in the skin, a cold shower is expected to send an overwhelming amount of electrical impulses from peripheral nerve endings to the brain, which could result in an anti-depressive effect.” The study ended up finding that cold showers of 2-3 minutes helpe
