Tip of the Day: Muscle = pump = feeling. What?? So, when I first began weight training, my boyfriend was always telling me, “feel the movement,” which I had absolutely no clue how to do. For me, it was very difficult to feel my muscle stimulating because 1) I was using baby weight and 2) I had very little muscle mass to begin with. If this is sounding familiar to you, have no fear; continue focusing on these weight training movements, and over the course of time and building up lean muscle, weight training will start to feel more natural and muscle contractions will become more achievable. I often use that phrase – “feel the movement” – to prevent simply going through the motions: mind muscle connection.
Daily Dose of Motivation: Be in control of your life! Every minute of it! In every regard! So maybe Nicki Minaj isn’t as crazy as she appears – her message conveys the strength and power of self. Come to the realization that this is YOUR life and you are the shot-caller of all decisions to be made; you may not be able to control everything that happens, but you certainly can control your reaction to them. Always be in the driver seat when it comes to your life -your dreams, your decisions, your rules. You only have one life to live, so live it exactly how YOU want to!
