101 Success Tips
Life’s Great When Your Career, Earnings And Relationships Are Going Forwards, But What To Do When These Things Start To Stagnate, Or Worse Go Backwards, Or When Your Energy And Enthusiasm Levels Drop.
101 Success Tips

Today I want to share some simple but often neglected “Must Dos” when you decide to complete a training session.

1. Warm up specifically – obvious but amazingly not carried out in particular with resistance training. Whether you are going to be doing cardio or resistance or a mixture it is important to warm up specifically. So if you are going to run, then do a light run. If you are going to do the rower then row for a few minutes. If you are going to do weights then do the specific exercises at 50% of the expected high intensity weight.

2. Stay Hydrated – forget your sports drinks and energy drinks just drink water. And make sure to drink water before, during and after the training session. The other drinks create false temporary spikes in energy not to mention your insulin levels (trigger to fat storage!) If you don’t remain hydrated then your performance will be effected. Remember we are at a minimum 70% water.

3. Keep workouts short but intense – don’t fall into the trap of the low intensity fat burning zones that are splattered all over the cardio machines and on posters on the wall. Use your common sense or as I like to call it “uncommon sense” – the harder you work the more effective it will be. ANd even if you are superman you will not be able to work hard and long. So focus on short duration high intensity for maximum results.

4. Step it Up – Our bodies are amazing machines with incredible recovery so make sure to step it up each and every session. Once you have stimulated the body through the exercise and fed it good recovery foods you will physically be capable of increasing your workload each and every session.

5. Focus Focus Focus – last but not least. If your mind is not focused on the job at hand you will quit (or definitely decrease workload) when the going gets tough during the session. What is driving you to complete the training session? What is the carrot at the end of a few weeks? Keep your mind on the prize. It is there for the taking.

Implement these 5 tips and your results will be much improved. Keep mindful of these 5 tips before every training session.

Motivational Quote of the Day

Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do. ~ Anonymous

This is a very powerful message and make sure you heed it.

We so often find ourselves worrying and stressing about situations and occurances that we have no control over.

And we also focus alot on that which we can’t do instead of  focusing on our strengths.

We all have been given incredible gifts and talents so focus on what you can do not what you can’t . Also focus on that which you can influence instead of what you can’t.

 

Exercise Tip Of the Day

Easing stress and anxiety. A twenty-minute bike ride won’t sweep away life’s
troubles, but exercising regularly helps you take charge of anxiety and reduce
stress. Aerobic exercise releases hormones that relieve stress and promote a
sense of well-being.

If possible I often suggest that people exercise during their lunchbreak especially in a very demanding and stressful job.  It will break up your day and you will return to work rejuvenated and reenergised and feeling much more positive and less stressed. Your productivity will go through the roof.

We have some news we will be announcing later today so make sure to keep an eye on your inbox as you won’t want to miss it.

Nutrition Tip Of The Day

Avoid ready made fruit juices.

More often than not these are loaded with sugars and preservatives.  When shopping make sure you never purchase those fruit juices on the normal shelves. If you are going to get some make sure to get them out of the refrigerator as the reason they are there is that they are made from actual fruit and will go off if left out of fridge.

Those fruit juices on the shelves are made from concentrate and loaded with sugars to preserve them and give them long shelf life.  Also check out the nutritional breakdown and you will be shocked at the % that is actually fruit vs sugar.

Today is cheat day in the Sheahan household after 6 tough days training hard and folllowing rigid nutrition plan.  We are all salivating at the thought of todays cheat :

Vegan Choc Chip Brownies with Choc sauce and Vanilla Icecream!!

My favourite!!!   I can’t wait

What is your favourite cheat meal?

Key thing though is on “Cheat Day” make sure it is not a 24 hour binge.

Cheat meal is sufficient. With it being 2nd December many have started to wind down, get lazy and break their good habits already. Make sure you are not one of them.
There is no reason to make christmas indulgences last a month or more.

Keep on track right up to Christmas weekend, enjoy it and then get back on track around 27th Dec. Why go through so much effort only to ruin it now???

Are you going to commit to me that you will keep with your exercise and nutrition program up until 22nd Dec?

 

Motivational Quote of the Day

A pessimist sees only the dark side of the clouds, and mopes; a philosopher sees both sides, and shrugs; an optimist doesn’t see the clouds at all – he’s walking on them. ~ Leonard Louis Levinson

I love this quote.  It is so important to see the positives.  Too often we focus on the one “bad” thing we did or didn’t do instead of the 10 incredible things we did.

You have incredible potential within you.


Exercise Tip of the Day

Exercise At Home Tip : If you Like chinups then invest in the portable chinup stations that you just fix into the door frame. Great invention. And chinups are fantastic exercise if you want to develop the V shaped back and ladies that does not have to be the more male “bat wing” like back but nice slender and toned shapely back.

If cant do full bodyweight then use a chair and distribute your weight on it so that you can complete reps.


Nutrition Tip of the Day

Vary your grains when it comes to bread.  Bread these days contains so many preservatives etc.  A few decades ago bread was real homemade bread with not more than 3 or so ingredients. Now you look at the back of a sliced pan (loaf of bread) and the ingredients list is as long as your arm.

ON that note if you see “hydrogenated” anything in the ingredients drop it. Regarding the grains try spelt bread, rye bread, oatcakes, rice cakes, etc.

Do you eat porridge or oatmeal in the US?

Or do you avoid it like the plague looking at it as something plain and disgusting?

Or maybe you like it but would like it to be a bit more appealing

Well today I will share with you what I do each morning and I really look forward to my porridge.

I just use water with the oats and stir it until it is starting to fix together. I then put in some rice/almond milk and keep stirring. This creates a creamy texture. It is important to make sure that the mixture doesn’t get too dry, Need to keep certain amount of liquid in the pot all the time

And voila there you have a very appealing and tasty bowl of porridge. I see it as a treat as it is very tasty and filling and so nutritious.

So give that a go and let me know what you think.

Motivational Quote of the Day

My incredible assistant Dee posted this image and quote on facebook

This is such an important quotation and I have learned of it’s importance in particular over
the past 3 years when I have endured the most difficult time of my life
when I nearly lost everything to now where I am living the life of my dreams
and achieving so many of my life goals.

So take a look at who you are surrounded by and if they serve you well.

Start surrounding yourself with positive like minded people -will be the most important
action you will ever take

 

Exercise Tip Of the Day

Concentrate on the muscle(s) you are working during a specific exercise and don’t
allow your other muscle groups to assist with the exercise.

When performing an exercise put your mind into that muscle and see it
contracting and stretching.  Really focus on feeling that isolated movement.
Using other muscles is just cheating and also dramatically decreases effectiveness

 

Nutrition Tip of the Day

Good news for all the ladies in particular!!

Eating dark chocolate lower blood pressure, increase good HDL cholesterol,
and lower nasty LDL cholesterol. Interesting fact: The Kuna Indians, who live
on islands near Panama, have little age-related hypertension. They also drink
more than 5 cups of flavonoid-rich cocoa a day.

Now be warned – dark chocolate – highest amount of cocoa possible. And not
talking about having bars of it. A few squares!!

Sorry to take from your excitement lol

Let me share to you something from my friend,  John Fitzgerald from
Limerick.   Make sure you read this right to the very end – THE VERY END!!   And also make sure to
forward this onto your friends and contacts.

*Written by a 90 year old – 45 lessons life thought me

This is something we should all read at least once a week!!!!! Make sure you read to the end!!!!!!



“To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It
is the most requested column I’ve ever written.

My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:




1. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.

2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.

3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

4. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and
parents will. Stay in touch.

5. Pay off your credit cards every month.

6. You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

7. Cry with someone. It’s more healing than crying alone.

8. It’s OK to get angry with God. He can take it.

9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.

10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.

11. Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present.

12. It’s OK to let your children see you cry..

13. Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey
is all about.

14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn’t be in it.

15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don’t worry; God never
blinks.

16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.

17. Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.

18. Whatever doesn’t kill you really does make you stronger.

19. It’s never too late to have a happy childhood.. But the second one is up
to you and no one else.

20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don’t take no for an
answer.

21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don’t
save it for a special occasion. Today is special.

22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.

23. Be eccentric now. Don’t wait for old age to wear purple.

24. The most important sex organ is the brain.

25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.

26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words ‘In five years, will
this matter?’

27. Always choose life.

28. Forgive everyone everything.

29. What other people think of you is none of your business.

30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.

31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

32. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

33. Believe in miracles.

34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or
didn’t do.

35. Don’t audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.

36. Growing old beats the alternative — dying young.

37. Your children get only one childhood.

38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.

39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.

40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d
grab ours back.

41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

42. The best is yet to come…

43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

44. Yield.

45. Life isn’t tied with a bow, but it’s still a gift.”

Its estimated 93% won’t forward this. If you are one of the 7% who will,
forward this with the title ‘7%’.

Isn’t that an incredible list of ways of looking at life’s experiences?
I have to rank it as one of the best emails I have seen.

Make sure you forward it on and help inspire others.

Let me share you these:

Motivational Quote of the Day

A wise man makes his own decisions; an ignorant man follows the public opinion. ~ Chinese Proverb

This is a very important quote and please take good notice of it. You should live

the life YOU want to live and make the decisions that YOUR gut tells you are

right.  You will always know in your gut.  Don’t listen to others when making decisions.

Exercise Tip of the Day

Peripheral Heart Action

If you want to strip fat from your body in the shortest period of time then you need to incorporate PHA into your training regime.  This is where you alternate lower and upper body resistance training exercises.  Choose between 4 to 10 exercises and keep moving between each exercise with minimal rest.

The reason this strategy works so will is that you are forcing bloodflow up and down the body creating an aerobic effect and resulting fat burning.  Just think about how hard it is for your body to move the blood from leg muscles to chest muscles for example.

Nutrition Tip of the Day

Essential Fatty Acids

EFAs are crucial to fat burning.  IF you are not eating alot of EFAs you are limiting the amount of fat burning you are experiencing.  The truth is that there are actually 2 types of fat – Good Fat and Bad Fat.

We must avoid saturated and trans fats like the plague. However there are good fats we need to eat which include oily fish such as salmon, trout, mackeral and also other sources such as nuts/nut butters and avocados.

If you just increase consumption for the next week you will become leaner that alone!!
