OK check this out it is fall, it is Sunday, I guess most of you are probably kick back on the couch watching football. Question? Are you ready for the week. For those of you that work a 9-to-5 job you are busy Monday through Friday and especially if you have kids it just makes it that much more interesting. How about this for an idea let's use Sunday for several different things: -Spiritual Rejuvenation -Family Time -Weekly Planning & Strategizing Now Go Be AWESOME!!
I work with and talk to numerous business professionals that typically tell me the same things whenever I do a consultation. Their lifestyles are sedentary, hours are long, lots of sitting in front of a computer screen and their health is diminishing. So why the same story from every corporate desk jockey?
One idea is that your job is making you sick. Hmmm…. So think about this for a second…
Some quick solutions would be:
Fitness Team Building to Improve Health & Corporate Culture Power Foods for A Powerful Physique When it comes to the infinite number of foods that you can put in your body, there are good foods and there are bad foods. Clearly, you know to avoid the bad foods whenever possible, but when it comes to choosing the very best foods for your physique goals, that's an even harder decision. FLEX is here to make it easier for you to find the best of the best--we call them Power Foods Just trying a handful of these can quickly improve your diet, along with helping you build muscle, stoke metabolism, boost immunity, and save your heart. Make a place for them on your plate today. OATMEAL Pour it into a bowl. Add some hot water. What you have is one of the best sources for carbohydrates, a quick burst of energy that will propel you through your training session. Oatmeal is great with vitamin-rich blueberries and strawberries. Quinoa Packed with 30 grams of carbohydrates per cup, quinoa, is not only a tasty choice, but it rich in muscle-building proteins as well. Almonds Anything associated with butter – as almonds surely are – usually leads to one dreaded three-letter word: fat. Although almonds are plenty fattening indeed, they’re also planters of a number of rich nutrients like potassium, zinc, and vitamin E. LOW SUGAR YOGURT It’s sweet. It’s smooth. It’s sensational. Just make sure you watch out for the SUAGR CONTENT!! It is not only a soothing refreshment for fitness fanatics, it also blends a healthy balance of proteins and carbohydrates. Highly recommended is the low-fat low-sugar version. SWEET POTATOES Sweet Potatoes are perhaps the best source of carbs you’ll find, packing some 30 grams inside of your average 4-ounce potato. They are filled with a ton of vitamins, minerals and nutrients. EGGS How do you like them? It doesn’t really matter because any way you flip them, boil them, fry them, or scramble them, the truth is that they’re loaded with protein. However, try to spare yourself of the egg’s yolk, for it is packed with fat and cholesterol. Crack open some eggs and get several egg whites per day. PROTEIN DRINKS This is a no-brainer. Why else would they have a juice bar at nearly every health club throughout America? The ideal protein drink, if you can blend it with a carbohydrate-rich powder, will consist of 25% protein and 60% carbs. CHICKEN BREASTS Chicken, in all forms, is loaded with protein, approximately 35 grams for a 4-ounce breast, However, we obviously recommend them grilled or baked as opposed to the fried version. And remember to peel off that fattening skin. Gym Craziness

CGFC can help you lower health care costs, reduce absenteeism and disability time, lower workers compensation rates, improve productivity, and improve the overall physical and mental health of your employees.

Healthy Employees Work Better (CGFC)-A Successful Wellness Program Going to the gym is great. We wish everyone did it. But we know that a large segment of your employee population has no desire to walk into a fitness facility and maybe never will. However, successful Corporate Wellness Programs are not just about exercising, although exercise is important. The most successful programs were designed to involve all employees and move them to adopt a healthier lifestyle. These programs have components that can address the needs of the non-exerciser as well as those that are involved, or desire to become involved, in fitness. Great wellness programs have many of the following items in common: •Nutrition Programs •Health, Fitness and Nutrition Information Resources •Health Screenings/Assessments •Personal Fitness Consultant •Individualized Fitness Program Options Want more info?

When I say getting ready I mean I usually wake up and try to read my devotion and then onto a couple inspiring Bible scriptures and motivational quotes. This particular morning of the video that I posted, I was just pressed with the notion of BEING BOLD and when I say being bold I mean like things that would normally scare me to do.....that is where my mind wandered. As I went down the list of things that I was pressed to do and even pulled to do at this point, I thought to myself........ well I only have one life to live and the worst that could happen is that I get rejected (if I get rejected I'll just end up back where I'm at now lol). The real work started to happen and that is the conclusion that I came to of the ideal. What if I just decided to do nothing.............WOW. God has placed something special inside each of us and its something that we are either gifted at or have a natural knack for and to be constantly pulled in the direction of your gifts and to do nothing about it is almost like living but being dead inside. I understand that my boldness could lead to a blessing for others and for me to just contain my gifts and not express them or work towards my dreams would be selfish of me because I would ultimately it would mean holding someone or some people back from receiving something great from within me. TODAY GO OUT BE BOLD......MAKE THAT PHONE CALL......SEND THAT EMAIL..........DRIVE TO THE STUDIO. Even if you get the rejection......let that reject push you to improve and come back as a better version that no one would be able to deny!!
Back it Up 🙌 Check Out This Back routine!! Many people neglect their back routine mainly because many guys only define progress by the muscles that they can see when facing the mirror, but the muscles of the back are ooohh so very important to the muscles that we see when we are facing the mirror. In order to increase your bench press and create a more shapely and picturesque body you must have a solid back to provide support and stability. Muscles all work together in some way and strengthening the muscles of the back will help to produce a well rounded physique. The muscles of the back assist in stabilizing your entire frame and accentuate the muscles of the core even better. So lets strengthen your back!!

I typically turn my body to where I'm facing the shoulder press machine and place the heel of the palm of my hand against the handle. The shoulder press machine gives you a really good mechanical advantage to where you are able to isolate one side at a time while keeping your core nice and tight. Anymore questions or any additional help email me at fitemmett@gmail.com
What's up! Here I have two exercises that are done with the TRX suspension system that are absolutely cool. The reason why they are so cool is because you can transition from one exercise to the next and really get an intense burn in the rear delts and into the traps. With the TRX you want to be careful not to add in too much momentum because it takes away from the actual exercise and stimulating the muscles that the exercises are supposed to help strengthen. Check it out! More to come..... Any questions or additional help email FitEmmett@gmail.com also visit www.fitemmett.com So a question that I get a lot from gym peeps and people that are wanting to get in shape is "How do I get to a point where I can do more pull-ups". So I usually tell people to start where ever you are. Don't jump onto the bar and just expect that you are going to just knock out 50 pull-ups just because your friend has a similar build and can do a ton of pull-ups (side note don't compare yourself to anyone, the only comparison you should make is between you and yesterdays you! #EverydayGettingBetter). Who knows he/she may have started doing pull-ups earlier (more practice of course). In regards to pull-ups practice makes better. One theory is the more you run the more you run. You don't just start out at 3 hour marathon time you work your way towards it and the same goes for your Pull-ups. You don't just start out at 50 pull-ups unless you are a genetic freak. Pull-ups are one of the best upperbody exercises to build strength, add definition and add the nice hour glass shape for the ladies and nice lat with for the guys. I have listed a couple ways to modify and build your way up to doing more pull-ups. Also, just say No to Kipping Pull-ups please. You can build muscle more effectively through maximizing your range of motion with standard pull-ups and the modified options listed below. Inverted Rows/Inverted Pull-ups How To Do It: Using the Smith Machine
Assisted Machine Pull-ups The assisted pull-up machine uses counterbalance weights, which means the higher the weight you set the machine, the easier the exercise becomes. Set the weight to 20 pounds less than your weight, complete three to five reps, and then adjust the weight accordingly. For instance, if you weigh 130 pounds, set the machine to 110 pounds. Here's how to safely use this machine.For traditional, lat pull-ups:
Hopefully the information that was provided was of some help. I have attached a quick Instagram video that will hopefully guide and motivate as you continue to be awesome on your fitness journey.
