HIIT Training vs Split Training Aug 05, 2019

Show notes

Split training looks at your workout from a week long or month long viewpoint. Each day of exercise is usually broken up into a “primary focus” (like legs, back, shoulders, chest) and “secondary focus” (like abs, triceps, and biceps).
As oppose to training (HIIT) it strengthens our hearts, builds endurance, and can be done just about anywhere. HIIT can be stacked with other forms of cardio for a quick and killer workout.

5 Great Things About Battle Ropes Jul 29, 2019

Show notes

If ropes terrified you in your childhood gym class, well, it’s probably because you were asked to climb them. But now that your days of climbing are over, you can look at ropes in a whole new light. Battle ropes — also called battling ropes — are a piece of equipment that once again prove you don’t need heavy weights to get a good workout.

More than just tools to burn out your arms, battle ropes can be used to build strength and power throughout your entire body. Because of their ability to provide a serious, heart-pumping aerobic workout, they also make great additions to any high-intensity interval training program.

How many workouts can you do without losing progress Jul 22, 2019

Show notes

At some point, everyone misses a workout (or two). It isn’t a matter of if — but when. From injury to illness to vacation and work stress, there are plenty of reasons you might miss a workout. But how many workouts can you skip before you start losing your hard-earned gains?
Missing a workout isn’t necessarily a bad thing. In fact, taking as much as a one week off from training can sometimes be a smart strategy that can help you gain more strength or develop greater aerobic fitness in the long run.

For example, if you’re following a marathon training program, your coach may have you back off for a week to give your body a longer time to recover and rebuild from all the intense training sessions. Instead of seeing your performance decline, you might even see it improve when you get back to your routine, “especially if you were pushing yourself too hard and not fueling properly,” However, once you start creeping past the one-week mark, you may start noticing some decreases in strength and fitness.

How To Run Your Own Race | LadyStrong FITcast Ep074 Jun 17, 2019

Show notes

With Facebook and other social media sites being the first place individuals go to “humble brag” (or just flat-out brag) about their accomplishments or experiences, this isn’t hard to fathom. With the success of other people constantly popping up on your newsfeed, it is easy to get wrapped up in thinking that you do not measure up.

However, the more time you spend worrying about what others are doing, the less time you are focusing on yourself and your own success. Think of the story of the tortoise and the hare. The hare was speeding for success, but got caught up in his own arrogance and simply coasted. The tortoise plodded down his path and focused on one step at a time. In the end, it was the tortoise that beat the hare.

Ways To Shift Your Mindset For Better Weight Loss | LadyStrong FITcast Ep073 Jun 10, 2019

Show notes

Every diet and weight-loss strategy has its pros and cons, but for any one to really work, you've got to get your mind right.

Shifting your mindset about how to lose weight is the biggest factor in losing weight. We can't shift our weight from the outside without realizing the correct inner resolve and intention.

And most people try to lose weight with the worst state of mind possible: wanting to "fix" themselves. They jump into diets and exercise plans out of self-deprecation, all the while pinching their "trouble" spots, calling themselves "fat" and feeling altogether less-than. They get obsessed with results, focus on quick fixes and lose sight of sustainability and even health.

This type of thinking can be destructive. Rather than focusing on the good that can come of weight loss such as better health, a longer life, more enjoyment in everyday activities and the prevention of diabetes and heart disease these folks focus on negative thoughts. Ultimately, a negative mindset leads to failure.

Yes, shifting your attitude around weight loss isn't just about feel-goodery; it's about results. Fortunately, the mind is a flexible thing and Marciea will share with you severals tips to shift your way of thinking. Coming from chapter four of her Women's Weight Loss Secrets Book.
