Motivational tip for meeting your fitness goals

Every goal in your fitness program needs to be a process goal. Meaning you need to focus on the process(performance), which you can control, and not the outcome which you have very little control over.

Focus on performing every exercise with full range of motion and proper technique.

Strech like a rubber band!

There are four different types of streaching techniques:

• Static
• Dynamic
• Ballistic
• PNF(proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation)

The most effective way to increace range of motion in your joints, and to prevent injuries, is to combine a mixture of static with dynamic streaching techniques, after your warm up activity, so that your muscles are plyable and relaxed.

Breath slowly and controllably, so that the streach reflex in your muscle don't activate causing your muscles to contract, therefore not achieving a full range of motion.   

Exercise increases insulin sensitivity and glucose utilization, thus lowering blood glucose levels!
