“you can produce outstanding results, at or close to home with very little expense to you
”
On the brighter side, you can produce outstanding training sessions at or close to home with very little expense. Unless you thrive in that type of atmosphere, you do not have to join a gym, to get healthy and fit. If you are motivated and carefully follow the suggestions in this booklet, you will produce outstanding results in the privacy of your home. I have worked with quite a number of clients that have not only achieved their fat loss goals; they have doubled or tripled their starting strength, increased their cardiovascular efficiency, and dramatically improved their flexibility. At the same time reducing stress, and having a great sense of achievement. Please remember the results I achieved with my clients were also a direct result and a big commitment to nutrition on their part, and lifestyle changes that allowed time for proper rest and relaxation.
Make sure the space you choose to perform your sessions is well ventilated and free of clutter; you want to be able to breathe deeply and move freely. One of your first investments should a be a good pair of walking shoes. As far as dress, use any loose fitting cotton garments that are appropriate to your environment.
“The hardest part of an exercise session is just getting out of the house”
Start your session properly with a good warm-up. What is a good warm-up? Warming up should take a minimum 10 minutes .Although a critical component of fitness, stretches are not a good for a warm-up. Warming up should start to recruit your cardiovascular system. I find it best to mimic the fat burning activity that will follow the warm-up. So if your session is to be a good walk, start by slow walking. Start at a slow speed and over ten minutes slowly increasing it so that you arrive at the bottom number of your working heart rate (more on heart rates later). The importance of warming up cannot be over stated:
- It focuses your mind for the workload to follow.
- It signals the heart that there will be a greater demand placed on it.
- It gets your internal biochemistry ready to produce fat loss.
- It increases blood flow and prepares muscles for work.
- The joints release more lubricating factors.
- It is the best way to prevent injuries.
If you have a hard time with all the details on this site, just start walking, and to the best of your ability try to make better nutritional choices! Then when you are ready, add whatever information from this booklet that makes sense to you. As you start to see results, you will become inspired; you will start looking forward to your sessions, and crave better nutrition.
