As a Kion Coach, we get access to some amazing research and articles from Ben Greenfield! I love being involved and connected to such a tight community of wise coaches who are all passionate about helping YOU be healthier on the inside and out. What are you doing to take care of the WHOLE you now? Now most of us are athletes of some level and we are all interested in keeping our fitness while we are stuck at home. How do you keep your muscles from getting soft and saggy? That is my challenge lately- especially my biceps! I love lifting heavy weights three days a week plus swimming – which I am not able to do lately (4 weeks in and 4 more to go!). I am able to do power yoga (thank you YouTube Baron Babtiste and Travis Eliot) as well as my own “Potts Circuit Training” using body weight, bands, 5# weights, #3 weights, STROOPS, Rip Trainer, BOSU, Stability Ball, bench, Slider push up handles, Perfect push-up handles and good old slider moving pads. How are you keeping up your health and fitness program right now? I am missing something …heavy lifting and pulling. My husband just had a truck load of gravel delivered for his yard projects this weekend. I may need to start helping him (finally!) lifting and moving rocks and using the wheel barrow filled with gravel! My poor muscle is decreasing … I hate having saggy soft muscles in my body -especially my ARMS! Here are some suggestions from the crew at Kion as well as key supplements to add to your keto carnivore diet. I am thankful for ButcherBox, Athletic Greens and my Kion Aminos!

Sunrise walks 10-15 minutes then "lunch break" walk and then an evening walk if we don't run or bike. 3.  Bike rides - if you can ride outside then get out for some fresh air and leave your hood (if allowed!).  Less is more right now so keep your exercise time and intensity low. 4. Run or run/walk- purpose to each workout, pace by heart rate, flat easy runs and hard hilly runs - or find stairs! 5. Strength Training:  Circuit training with 2-4 exercises with 2-4 rounds with timer (Ipad HIIT Timer app). Less is more as we do not need more sources of chronic stress and activating release of the stress hormones CORTISOL when we are experiencing a world wide pandemic. Here is an article on cortisol, stress, and exercise DNAFit article: What you can do to maintain healthy cortisol levels when training- It is possible to enjoy the undeniable benefits of exercise while minimizng the impact on cortisol concentrations: Don't overdo it. Take regular breaks from intense training and listen to your body. Leave intense sessions to later in the day, when cortisol levels are lower. Eat right to fuel your body and make sure you consume carbohydrates and protein after exercise to decrease the cortisol response. Consider adaptogens to improve your body's response to stress.

Endurance cardio has also been linked to an increase in the body's production of the “stress” hormone cortisol. If cortisol levels remain raised over time, our bodies become more sensitive to insulin and store fat (particularly in the abdominal area). Serotonin, thyroid function, growth hormone, testosterone and estrogen levels are all disrupted.

The Top 3 Best Exercises on the Stability Ball, How to Recognize and acknowledge your successes and three things you must pay attention to when going low carb! TrainingThe Top 3 Best Exercises on the Stability Ball:Ab crunches over the ballAnything that uses the ball as a bench, such as lying triceps extensions, chest flyes or chest press.Lying Leg Curl with bridge for hamstringsListen to the full episode on why these are the best exercises for stability ball and how to get the most effective workouts using these exercises!MotivationIn part 2 of the 4-Part program to increase your self esteem and Banish Your Inner Bully, we focus on how to recognize and acknowledge your own successes! Identify your successes.Be a Victor.Be thankful.Help others.Accept compliments.Listen to the podcast to hear how to use these to achieve your goals faster!NutritionThe holidays are here, which means fitting into clothes that don't fit and getting there fast! You may go low carb to get the result you want. Although I don't agree with this tactic, I know you'll probably do it anyway! So here are three tips when doing low carb:Tip #1  Increase Your ProteinLow-carb diets cut out a huge portion of calories, so you need to make up the difference with proteins and the right fats. If you don't increase your protein intake sufficiently, your body will catabolize.  This means it will feed upon it self, using muscle instead of fat for energy and ultimately ruin your metabolism! Think about increasing your current protein level by 20-50% that means is you currently have Tip #2 Get Enough of The Right Fats  You'll also need to track your fats to balance your body and energy. Of course, the fats MUST come from healthy sources such as: -omega-3s (fish and fish oil)-medium chain triglycerides (MCTs like coconut oil)-monounsaturated fats (olive oil and avocado, for example). Listen to the episode to hear how this works with your body for fat loss! Tip #3: Take Advantage of Caffeine This one isn’t a “mistake” since using caffeine is a personal preference. Yet, supplementing with caffeine pre-workout when on a low-carb diet can give you a major boost and accelerate fat loss. Larger caffeine doses may have even greater performance-enhancing effects, if you can tolerate them.The Caffeine Dosage used in studies for such results was 8 mg/kg/body weight.Caffeine is a way of improving performance when your energy is low due to a low carb diet. Get all the most recent episodes on iTunes or download this episode here: Fit 245: Best Ball Exercises, Success, Low Carb Mistakes   Now available in paperback: "Mindset Makeover," available at The Book Patch.com.

In this episode: More ways to burn stubborn body fat PART 2 (#5-8); Top workout tips part 2 (#6-10); Three Ways To Help Overcome The Fear Of Success! News:The Exercise Video Library is open! I'm still adding videos to it! Also, QuickFit Club is in development and moving quickly! Be sure to go to quickfitclub.com to get first notification and news!NUTRITIONContinued... our 16 ways to burn stubborn body fat! (PART 2)Go Backward. One reason fat loss comes to a halt is that your body lowers its metabolism to meet its declining intake of calories. The solution to this: dramatically increase your caloric intake once every 1-3 weeks. The one day splurge helps re-sets your metabolism by restoring the calorie burning hormone that declines with dieting aka your thyroid levels. Skip the Late Night Carbs. Carbs eaten before bedtime are more likely to be stored as body fat, so focus on lean proteins and fiber based vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower and salad fixings. Of course, if the carbs are part of your regular program then have them accordingly. Just avoid the mindless munching! The exception: if you train late at night and your goal is to build muscle mass or retain muscle, you'll need the carbs to replenish glycogen and support recovery.  Fish. A study revealed that dieters who ate fish on a daily basis, lost more weight than those who ate fish just once a week. When calories are controlled, the inclusion of omega-3 fatty acids found in salmon, trout and sardines may promote speedier fat loss.  If you are not a fish lover, then supplement with omega-3s to improve your fat burning!Spice it up!  Red peppers are the common spicy ingredient found in many Mexican and Indian recipes.This spice contains Capsaicin, which can increase the metabolic rate by effecting the Sympathetic Branch of the Nervous system. Adding some spice to your meals with red pepper or cayenne pepper can be a benefit over time. You can also use a Capsaicin supplement.   MOTIVATIONThree Ways To Overcome The Fear Of Success!Do you go through life without getting involved one-hundred percent? Maybe it's because you believe you might fail, or even succeed, at what you set out to accomplish.Do you set yourself up for failure and sabotage your success by telling yourself that you can't perform well? Is it possible that you allow unproductive and negative vocabulary to dominate your thoughts? Negative self-talk takes away your motivation and is an inner barrier that must be eliminated!Here are three ways to overcome fear of success: Continually tell yourself that you welcome challenges. Stand ready and willing to challenge yourself to your maximum capacity. Move forward in your communication by deleting all negative self-talk. Use your I am statements. Believe that whatever you set out to accomplish, you will give it 100%. Stop providing excuses to blame yourself, becoming disempowered from achieving your goals and increasing your self-esteem. Believe that your “pride of accomplishment” motivates you to eliminate all the "shoulds", "oughts", and "musts" from your vocabulary. Be the best you can. Continually see yourself in an evolving way. Stretch every mental, emotional, and physical fiber within you. Believe and feel that you are one dynamite, ecstatic, and powerful person. Remember, your beliefs impact the way you feel and act!This is another reason your self-talk is so vital to success, and why I wrote a book on how to reprogram your self-talk! So many people get stuck because of inaccurate and negative self-talk! And to be your best you must think your best supportive thoughts. If you don't know how, then check the Re-train your brain Daily Focus Program and/ or the "Mindset Makeover," book available at The Book Patch.com.TRAININGTop workout tips continued!Work Out During Your Workday. Sit on a Stability Ball to strengthen your core, and keep dumbbells or Resistance Bands at your desk. It's good for your mind to take a break every so often (preferably every 20-30 min) so stop and take 2-3 minutes to do a superset of biceps and triceps, you'll be able to Squeeze in 2-3 sets of 10 reps each. Jump-Rope Mix-Up An anywhere cardio workout with a Jump Rope is fun and challenging! Channel your inner child! To increase the intensity try the Jump Rope double-turn maneuver. It's intense: You'll burn about 26 calories per minute! Here's how you do it: Do a basic jump for five minutes, then jump twice as high and turn the rope twice as fast so it passes under your feet twice before you land. This takes timing, patience and power. Just working on learning the move will get you in shape! Give Yourself a Break You don't have to be perfect to get results. Overall consistency is what matters most! Remember the 80/20 plan: Eighty percent of the year, you'll exercise regularly and eat well. Admit that you'll slip 20 percent of the time due to holidays and work deadlines. When you understand that fitness isn't an all-or-nothing undertaking, you can accept that a fitness lifestyle is part of your life. Think out of the box Plyometrics build strength, burn calories and increase stamina. Box jumps can improve your cardiovascular stamina and leg strength while sculpting your hamstrings, quads and glutes. Find a sturdy box that's at least one foot high (some gyms have these) or use a step aerobic bench.  Just be sure that the box is designed for weighted impact.  Plyometrics can be done on their own at the start or end of a workout, or superset them with another bodypart. A basic plyometric exercise would be jump ups. Starting from a standing position, explosively jump to the middle of the box, then jump back down. Repeat 5-20 times. Always land on the box and off the box on your heels with your knees slightly bent. Use your muscles to absorb the impact.Don't Skimp on Carbs This might be more of a nutrition tip, but it impacts your training too! Your body needs carbs to burn fat, fuel a workout, and keep your energy up. Fruit, cheese or high-fiber snacks are a good choice for pre-workout. There are no absolutes! Not all carbs are bad, just the ones you overeat! Get all the most recent episodes on iTunes or download this episode here: Fit 212: Burn Fat, Workout Tips, Overcome Fear of Successhttps://fitnessmakeover.com/product/re-train-your-brain/   Now available in paperback: "Mindset Makeover," available at The Book Patch.com.

In this episode: Training myths that have a tinge of truth,  rethink snack time with nutritious snacks you may not know about and realistic time management! NUTRITIONHere's few high protein, healthy snacks that will have you saying:“I didn't know that was an option!” Lentils I know you’re thinking: “Lentils?!” Lentils are great protein-packed legumes that are easy to turn into super, shelf-stable salads. One cup has a whopping 22 grams of protein in just 300 calories! Not sure where to start? Try this recipe for lentil tabbouleh or this simple veggie and lentil mix.  Easy Oatmeal Raisin CookiesA quick and easy sweet snack recipe that's still healthy!  In a microwave-safe bowl (or large mug):  mix 1/4 cup oats, 1 teaspoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon flour (of your choice), 1 egg white, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon raisins. Flatten mixture into bottom of bowl and microwave on high for 45 seconds. Cool, pop it out of the bowl, and enjoy!Chocolate MilkDid you know that chocolate milk is actually a great source of high-quality protein?!(especially post-workout). Try keeping a single-serving, shelf-stable box in your gym bag or backpack for snack attack emergencies—just try to find one that’s also low in sugar!Single-serve cottage cheeseGreek yogurt may have some high protein versions, but a single-serving container of nonfat cottage cheese has 3 grams more protein than a typical serving of Greek yogurt and is just 110 calories. Plus, it gives you 125 milligrams of bone-building calcium. (Keep in mind, though, it runs high in sodium, supplying 20 to 30% of your daily quota.) Hard boiled eggAlthough eggs used to be considered a nutritional no-no due to their high cholesterol content, we know better than that today!  Most nutritionists now agree that eggs are a powerhouse breakfast or snack when enjoyed in moderation. In addition to protein, the humble egg gives you a hearty dose of vitamin D and vitamin B-12 for just 77 calories apiece. Best part: they're easy to take on the run—just remember to peel them before you go to make eating them on your commute a snap. Even better: some convenience and grocery stores sell hard boiled eggs in packages of two, so they're a snap to snatch up when traveling. Protein: 6 grams per egg! TRAININGHere's a few training myths that sound like they might be true, but aren't completely accurate!Myth #1: You need a Swiss Ball to build a stronger chest and shoulders.If your goal is strength and size you'll want to focus on good old fashioned bench exercises and presses in particular like chest press and shoulder press. You can get strength gains from a Stability Ballchest workout, but not as much as you would on a stable surface. The Stability Ball is great for variety, to work the chest and core simultaneously and help train some of the stabilizer muscles of the shoulder. Of course, when training chest on the Stability Ball, you 'll use less weight than on a bench, but you get t hose added benefits. That's why this myth has a tinge of truth, the Stability Ball is a great way to mix up (or cycle thru) your training, avoid boredom and train your chest and shoulders differently. It's always good to focus on bench versions for strength. For ab training don't expect your chest exercises to do it all. You'll get some action, but you'll still want to do your Stability Ball crunches to create the nice line of abdominals.Bottom line: mix it up, it's all good!Myth #2: Always work out with free weights.Free weights are certainly king of exercise, but occasionally,  machines can build muscle better.  For example, you may need to isolate specific muscles after an injury, or if your stabilizer muscles are too weak to perform a certain exercise, or if you are just too inexperienced to perform a free weight exercise and need help reinforcing the proper form. The majority of your training should be with free weights. Why? Because they allow a greater range of motion which enables your muscles and joints to stretch and strengthen through a greater range. Thus, keeping your joints more healthy. A newbie would begin on machines to learn proper form. Remember, machines mimic real world movements and free weight exercises too. A leg press can help you learn how to use your glutes and quads the way you would for a squat. The lat pulldown can help develop the muscles and motion for pullups. Machines have their place, but if you are a seasoned lifter, free weights are your best tools to build strength or burn fat.WHAT MYTHS DO YOU HEAR? Or should I say what fitness statements have you confused? Please email me or post on Facebook or message me on twitter!MOTIVATIONRealistic Time Management!Time always seems to be in high demand! Calendars on the computer and our phones are great if we use them! But there is some benefit in paper and pen planning! How often do you take that 10 minutes from your day to plan the rest of it? In this section I'll share with you some of the top tips I learned in time management!Tip #1: Be conscious of timeBe conscientious of amount of computer/TV/Internet/gaming time. Personally, I never get TV/internet gaming time. My internet time is always work or research. But I know even with that,Time spent browsing even if it is work related can be one of the biggest drains on productivity. How do you fix this? Become more aware of how much time you spend on computer and/or internet activities.By simply seeing how much time you spend doing something, you'll be able to change habits and reduce the time wasted. As always, awareness is half the battle! The next tips goes hand in hand with this one! Tip # 2: Set boundariesSet a time limit in which to complete a task. Setting a time constraint will force you to focus and be more efficient, even if you don't complete the task.I know there has been plenty of times when I have the mindset of “I’m going to be here until this is done,” and yet when I actually have to stop to go do something else, then return to the task at hand, it always goes faster and easier. The break gives your mind a chance to recharge and then apply itself better when you return.So, Instead of getting into a project and thinking,“I’m going to be here until this is done,”rethink that line to be,“I’m going to work on this for ____amount of time”.And then set a timer! Use your phone! Yup there are great timers that come with it! See the clock function! It may be difficult to pull away at first, but like any habit, with perfect practice it gets easier. After the first few times, your mind will recognize that the break does it good and helps it be more productive. You'll have faith that stopping is ok, beneficial and is going to make your task/project easier and faster to complete!Tip #3: Reset your brainDon't rush from one task to another. Leave a buffer-time between tasks. Take a few seconds for your brain to clear and reset itself for the next task at hand. This doesn't have to be a whole mediation process, just a brief walk around the room or outside will do. Having a drink of water and looking outside at nature can help your mind reset and be able to stay focused and motivated. Three Success Tip Summary:Evaluate and/or keep track of time spent that is unproductive. Set a time limit for certain tasks (and stick to the rules!) Leave a time between tasks for your mind to reset!As I say this, I realize that I am guilty of not doing the above “rules” most of the time.....so time for me to make some new habits!

Target the lower abdominals with the Abdominal Stability Ball Roll In. You'll also tone and tighten the entire midsection with this stability ball ab exercise!Listen to podcast episode #201 of "Fit Girl: Your Guide to Getting in Shape" on itunes for details on this exercise and more!

In this video workout sequence of a Stability Ball Combo, you hit legs and abs quickly and effectively! This is one of my favorite leg shaping sequences from the DVD workout Ball Sculpt 1: Nothing But the Ball (available at Amazon.com). This 5 minute workout hits your hamstrings and abs using the stability ball. Leg curl works the hamstrings, and most people are weak in the hamstrings, which causes lower back and posture problems. If you workout at home, (and some gyms), you may not have access to a leg curl machine, making it all the more important to use this video!When doing the leg curl, you may have to do one rep, then stop and slowly build your strength to get consecutive reps. Done properly, it is a very challenging exercise!  The plank position targets the core, ie the abdominals and lower back muscles. You pretty much work everything form the neck down! The leg curl is supersetted with abdominal exercises. You get more done in less time! Efficient, effective workouts get you in shape faster than ever! Add this sequence to your routine 2-3 times a week for tighter legs and abs before summer!Additional info: This DVD workout Ball Sculpt 1: Nothing But the Ball (available at Amazon.com) is loaded with workout options!
