There is a ton of great info in this episode with Coach Jim Laird. He takes a holistic approach to training, teaching people the difference between performance and health. “YOU’LL HAVE TO WORK IN SO YOU CAN WORK OUT.”   HOLISTIC TRAINING Formula for looking and feeling great: a) Lifting weights twice a week at your ability. Do just enough to allow adaptation of the body, just enough challenge. b) 30 minutes of cardio daily. Ie: walking, tennis, cycling, etc. b) Eat real food + healthy fats. c) Don’t eat refined sugar. When yo take your walks, walk to rejuvenate not to burn calories. If your body is healthy hormonally, mentally and emotionally, the fat will just come off. You don’t have to force it if you treat your body well.   TIPS FOR WOMEN Typical guidance for women just coming into Jim’s gym for training…usually they work 50 hours a week, have kids at home, are doing multiple sessions of bootcamp, sometimes 2 times per day…and not seeing results. Why? “YOU NEED TIME FOR YOURSELF, FOR YOU TO REST AND SELF-CARE.” Jim’s advise is to find that time. Self care comes first as well as eating real food and getting good sleep. He’ll recommend doing this for 4 weeks before starting a training program with him. Some people will do this for the 4 weeks and lose 25 lbs…just by taking care of themselves.   SIMPLE TIP FOR QUICK START RECOVER AND RELAXATION Jim asks his clients to either blow up a balloon or do some type of silent breathing before they head out the door, back to their lives full of stress and chaos. What good does your training session do if you are just going to leave in a fight or flight stage? Whether you are still amped up from your training session or running from a tiger, your body doesn’t know the difference when your sympathetic nervous system is on full alert. To combat this counterproductive phenomena from happening, Jim reminds his clients, young and old, to simply chill and act as if they are going to sleep while doing their silent breathing. This process not only takes a person from fight or flight to rest and digest, it also jump starts their recovery from their workout. To us, we would rather our clients be fully recovered after a workout versus not recovering from a workout, dealing with a busy life, and then coming to train again. It’s a vicious cycle that leads one down a tumultuous path.
