Coach Chris Check-In!

Hey Team!

This week I started the 2^nd phase of my P90X2/Asylum hybrid, the strength phase! I was certainly ready mentally for the transition and last week’s recovery prepared my body. The schedule is pretty grueling, you can check it out here: P90X2 Asylum Hybrid Schedule, and I hope that my body doesn’t break down during this phase. If it does…well, then I’ll add a recovery week somewhere in the middle of the 6 week phase and just pick up from there. I’m also working up a review of the first phase and hope to have that out there next week.

You have to listen to your body!

Do not neglect what your body is telling you; TAKE A BREAK. 2-3 days of active rest is not going to derail your goals. Sure, it may delay it a couple of days, but if you don’t listen and continue on, you are more likely to get further into an overtraining situation and possible injure yourself in the process. This will definitely, set you back, possible worse than you think.

A nagging injury can affect you in a couple of ways. Obviously, it is going to prevent you from performing your workout for the day or possibly require that you use improper form during a specific exercise. The latter could result in not only further injury, but introduce additional injuries in other areas. Another affect an injury may have is on the emotional and/or motivational side. Without proper rest and treatment, a nagging injury can really start to wear on you and your mental state.

So…Listen to your body and adjust accordingly. HOWEVER, don’t let something minor like simple muscle soreness or just feeling lazy be your excuse… Now, you are just looking for reasons to mail it in for the day.

STOP IT! GO WORKOUT!

Have and awesome weekend everyone!

Don’t Be Confused About What to Drink After a Workout
Some members on my team have asked about post –workout supplements/drinks and what to look for in them. I put together an article that discusses the benefits of a post workout supplement and the different products that are available today.

Here is the intro to the article:
“All of the energy that you have exerted during a workout can be tough on your body and it needs recovery! You have a short time frame once you have completed a workout to replenish all of the nutrients you just burned. So, if you are not sure what to drink after a workout, I am going to try and give you some ideas on a good post-workout drink.”

I am looking for your Success Story!
I have made this request in the past, but I would highly encourage those that are willing to provide and share your success story with me! Many of you have been busting your butts and I want to recognize your efforts! Shoot me an email with your success story and photos (if desired) to: coachchris@yourfitnesspath.com

Let’s help others and pay it forward!
How many of you have/know someone that you think would benefit from being a part of this group? We all probably know SOMEONE that may be struggling with health and fitness.

Who do you know that has high cholesterol, blood pressure issues or blood sugar problems? Do you know someone that needs to lose weight, tone up or gain weight?

If you think you know someone, even if it is just one person, let me know and let’s get them plugged in. A little friendly competition is always beneficial to those involved.

Got a question?
I also wanted to make sure that everyone on my team is aware that I am here for YOU! If you have ANY questions related to health and fitness, don’t hesitate to contact me directly either on Facebook or via email (coachchris@yourfitnesspath.com). I am always willing to provide feedback and suggestions on ways that you can get the results that you are after.

And 2 favors that I ask:
1) If you like the hard work I put into writing my articles and videos, PLEASE help me out by sharing them. Click the share links below them and share them on FB, twitter, etc. It really helps me get more exposure and grow our team!

2) Also, as always, remember that the way I benefit from being your coach is that I earn a commission from any Beachbody products that you purchase, as long as you buy them through my site, www.yourfitnesspath.com, or by logging in to www.teambeachbody.com to do your shopping (If you buy from the plain beachbody site I get no credit). It helps with the amount of time I spend answering all your questions and helping you out.

Thank you! I really appreciate it!

Keep bringing it and inspiring others to do the same gang!
