Lose Belly Fat With Ahmad

Below is a message that I copied and pasted from my youtube page this Saturday afternoon.  Read it please to change your approach, if needed, towards working out.

BronsonLinda:

I found you on youtube and love your work outs (week one). I was wanting to know? You say don’t push it. stay at the low end of your heart rate if your weight is like 240+ and not use to working out. So my thing is I love to push it. It makes me fill good to work out harder I weigh 260lbs I’ve lost 67lbs just from changing my eatting habets now I’m starting to work out on top of that so why cant I push it?

My response:

Hi BronsonLinda thank you so much for noticing detail. I want to explain that I am ALL for PUSHING…ask my clients…I say pace yourself so that you don’t burn out…I see every year with all size bodies…fast starts and quick stops…I want you in this for the long term buddy. Feeling your intensity from your words…I know you will make it. Keep doing this and extra…consider your health as your business…your profit is youth and energy…so glad you’re on the team~ahmad

I would like to go a little further with this. In the above, she also mentioned working out in your heart rate zone. The most important thing first, is to make basic cardio a regular daily habit, before focusing on heart rate zones. I am learning that the VERY FIRST THING TO DO is create a good habit of exercise.

Before starting your workout Monday, try to find a smart reward daily for your hard work. It is smart to do this. Sometimes it might mean for the first few days of restarting, just do the minimum. Ease into your fitness….don’t belly flop, OK?

Keep me posted on how this approach helps your week one, of working out online with me. Working out to me means more than just the gym. Try and use it as a way to have your ‘you’ time. Use it as a mental planning time, or just self check-up time. Hope this helps…

For me I use music as one of the things that KEEP me in the gym. In my ipod I have songs that make me want to move. The best.

Hope the above helps,
ahmad

I am figuring out how many carbs I can take in. Finally. I see that your fuel intake is the boss. Eating and drinking smart will help keep your blood sugar balanced. Your energy will be just right. You will find it best to stay with a balanced blood sugar level. How do you feel when you eat too much or too little sugar?? Well from now on, try your best to feel the opposite! You will feel better if you begin having 5 small snacks/meals a day. These meals can be fluid, or solid. They must contain GOOD FATS, FIBROUS CARBS, AND DESIGNER PROTEIN. Add with this plan a great multi-vitamin designed for an athlete such as yourself.
Oh yeah, add this clip in daily…complete 4-5 times, ok?

I made this for a few that I know have lost a little steam. Hope this is the boost you need….~ahmad

Guys my friend Diana is such a blessing to this whole project. When I think of her, this quote comes to mind:

“You’ve got to get up every morning with determination if you’re going to go to bed with satisfaction.”

Check out her before and after video. Let’s start documenting our progress. It creates more fire and passion to reach your goals.

Did you know that Olympic distance runners wear cooling vest to fight over heating before an event? Pre-cooling has been proven to improve performance during sprinting or faster pace events too. I found this study pretty cool…:)
An Australian study, showed that wearing cold towels around the neck, and icing your quads and core for 20 minutes before training in 90 degree heat, at moderate intensity, covered 14% more ground than those who chilled out in the shade. So, as stated by Rob Duffield, Ph.D., before a game or serious cardio session (MINE), ice your quads and core and apply cold towels to your upper body. Try this and let me know how things improve.
