Unleashing the TRX Series-LEGS

If you are ready for the TRX Leg Progressions...

Here they are.

Train Hard...Be Awesome...No Lizard Brain...

Tame The Pain

Hey, we all know what it feels like the day (or two) after a tough yet, productive workout.


The early morning squat down to take care of business...


Shampooing the hair...


Ouch ,baby! I hear you and I've been there.


This soreness is called DOMS or PEMS (Post Exercise Muscle Soreness)

and it is a natural part of tissue adaptation, recovery and remodeling.

Hence, this is why you should NEVER train back to back days. Tissue needs to repair in order to get stronger.

We have a great opportunity to mitigate the soreness that is common and normal

after an intense workout. Just get out the blender and load it up with these post workout

nutrients to kick out some soreness and kick up some lean, mean, fat incinerating muscle.


The MJ Whey After

10 frozen strawberries
4 ice cubes
8oz water
1scoop (Women) 1.5 scoops (Men) of   IDLife Meal Replacement
1 teaspoon of Omega-3 fish oil (Carlson or Innate Sufficiency recommended)
1 raw free range whole egg (optional...don't be a whimp...can't even taste it)
1 cap probiotic (Innate Choice Probiotic Sufficiency or Natural Factors 12/12 Formula recommended)

Blend and down it!

Jack Lalanne...The BEAST!

Hey, never thought this brother was ever gonna' kick-it...
Never wanted to see him kick-it...
96 and kickin' much butt right till the end!!
Damn, that is how it's done.
This guy knew how to GET FIT DONE right from an early age and
just ripped it up probably till the last week or so of his passing.
He was famously quoted as saying "I can't afford to die...that will ruin my image."
And, "There are two things we need in life...God and fitness."
AMEN BROTHER...Amen.
He wasn't bogged down by any health related stuff
BECAUSE he just flat out had his fitness lifestyle DOWN!
He made it look easy...
And, for the most part he was right. Getting and staying in great health is not that tough, especially when you consider the alternative.
And, the alternative just flat out sucks.

Any way, I was looking for a killer tribute deserving of this one and only fitness icon but, to no real avail.
However, I did happen to find a video...probably 50+ years old
that hit the basic tenets of what we all in the fitness industry
are driven to share and teach to anyone who cares enough to listen long enough.
I believe Mr. LaLanne left his point spot on.
Enjoy this quick "tutorial" from THE MASTER...
THE GREAT GOD FATHER OF FITNESS...
THE 96 year young BEAST who is and was the quintessential fitness stud of ALL TIME...
MR. Jack LaLanne...
God Rest Your TIRED-LESS Soul , my brother .

23 Ideas to Help Us Succeed in 2011

These are some of the ideas that we can use to help create the year of greatness!

1. WRITE down your goals on paper. There is some new research that shows that there are enhanced neurological pathways created when we WRITE, not type.
Have your Monthly 5, Yearly 5, and your BIG 5.
Monthly= Find your top 5 priorities. What will you do this month that will make your top 5 (i.e. relationship with God, family, friends, fitness and business) "tighter"
Yearly= Your 12 month action plan that will take your business and your life to a new level of prosperity. Where do you want to see your top 5 priorities in 12 months from now.
BIG 5= The TOP 5 goals that you WILL accomplish before the end of your life here on earth. Make this BIG 5 HUGE!

2. You are a Superstar. Do not wait for someone else to step it up. YOU be the superstar of the day…EVERY day!

3. Keep the energy flowing. You know how much of a buzz kill it can be when there is an energy zapper in the room. That person is a “circuit breaker.” YOU and I will keep the energy flowing.

4. GO BIG OR DON’T BOTHER! Mediocrity is not in short supply now a days.
Have intentions to up your game in family, relationships and work.
If what you are doing isn’t doing anyone any good... stop doing it.

5.Give. Your gift is needed by someone. Share it every chance you get.
(a simple smile is a gift)

6. Expect nothing. Blame no one. Do something

7. Live by this mantra…"I Am World Class…Every Day!"

8. Have a game plan. Don’t wing it. If it matters, it deserves your planning. Plan to succeed.

9. FOCUS. If you want to go to the next level in anything, be laser focused on the details. They make the difference between the PROS and the JOES.

10. A mentor of mine, Pat Rigsby, is famous for saying this one-liner:

“You get paid for done.” Can we use this concept in all areas of life…? Yep.

11. Be a builder of man. So many people are self sabotaging of their own greatness. Never tear anyone down… build everyone up!

12. Commit. Today make the commitment to be as good if not better than the best in your industry. Start by better educating yourself in your skills. Read... Conferences... Classes…
Practice to master!

13. Know that you are essential. Live everyday knowing that if you were gone, that would matter to many. Be ESSENTIAL in your circle of LIFE.


14. How you do ANY thing is how you do EVERY thing.


15. Exercise. Training hard feeds the spirit of our DNA. A tough workout always brings on a big smile. That has to tell you something…

16. Recover. Train hard and recover harder. You can’t GET. FIT. DONE. if your rest is none. On your days off from training work on flexibility, mobility…foam roll…walk...

17. Eat better. Move well. Think great. These are the three essential pillars that hold it all together. Take one out and you will fall.

18. Be indispensible. Read Seth Godin’s latest book, LINCHPIN. This book is for everyone.

19. Finish what you started. If what you started mattered two weeks ago, it probably still matters today.

20. Stay in discipline. Discipline is simply the practice of never compromising in all that matters.

21. Do not be a perfectionist.Your best will do just fine.

22. Your words will build or crush. Choose your words kindly.

23. God. Family. Friends. They are the gifts we have been given. Serve them well.

Be determined to create the 2011 of your dreams-

God bless & Peace-
Matt
