Workouts and Results
I have learnt a lot through my own workouts and training’s for marathons/ ultra marathons. I have also learnt by observing and training members over close to a decade. Here are some of my learning’s
- People who workout or train regularly and love what they do are most successful
- The human body is phenomenal . There is no limit to what it can achieve. Its your mind that needs to be strong.
- Our bodies can be conditioned with consistent training to achieve seemingly impossible feats
- Pushups are the best upper body workout. No machine can beat this workout and it can be done anywhere
- Most people do not lift intensely enough to make stronger muscles
- The older you get, the more you need to work on your muscles
- Most people do not focus sufficiently on getting a healthy and clean diet
- Throw away your whey protein. Eat plenty of meat and eggs
- Muscle size does not relate to muscle strength. Most of the muscle is glycogen and water
- New fads are created to sell more equipments to gyms. Simple body weight workouts, lifting, throwing, running has been there for hundreds of years and they still work
- Aim high. Do not settle for mediocre. Try to achieve more than yesterday
- Sugar is not our friend.
- If you are losing more than 2 kilos per week, its not all fat
- Training expertise comes by working with real people, not by downloading new fads from the internet
- Take control of your life. No matter what life throws at you
