Bare Foot Running on the Snow???

Bare Foot running is becoming popular in United States. Some people may think this is another fitness trend, but I think in general people are becoming more aware of being in touch with their bodies and nature. People want to be healthier and mobile. As we can see, many people are now eating organic foods and approaching a more holistic and natural way of life. Bare foot running is another way for us to recover this sort of natural lifestyle and a way to become more comfortable in our skin. As an example, check out this link to see what people are doing in Boulder Co.

Build Muscle & Lose Fat through Strength Training

Total Body Motion will help you build muscle and lose fat through strength training. You’ll learn o how to get stronger using weight lifting & body-weight exercises so you get the physique you want.

Why strength training?

Because more strength is more muscle and more muscle is more calories burned. Strength training lowers body fat, strengthens joints & bones, increases cardiovascular fitness and much more.

Your possibilities are endless: go from skinny to muscular, get stronger without getting bulky, build six pack abs, It doesn’t matter if you’re skinny, fat, teen, elder, man or woman as long as you’re ready to do what it takes.

Strength training is hard work. You won’t find get ripped quick schemes on this site. Total Body Motion is about building the habits of exercising & eating healthy. Long lasting habits for permanent change, physically & mentally.

Although the promise of Adriana at Total Body Motion is to help you build muscle and lose fat though strength training and although your physique will improve as a result of your training & diet, Total Body Motion is not a bodybuilding website.

It’s not about looking strong without being strong
It’s also not about training 6x week to isolate each muscle
And it’s absolutely not about counting on supplements to do the job

Too Much Sitting Can Be Hazardous To Your Health

I am always trying to encourage you to get off your butt during those long days when you sit all day long. I always insist that the two or three hours of amazing, high energy expenditure workout with me does not make it up for those sedentary 112 weekly hours you stay either watching TV, driving your car, eating your meals, working on your computer, or simply being hedonistic and indulging yourself playing video games, having your nails done, getting a haircut, coloring your hair, chatting with your friends, going to the bathroom, (unless you go pee Italian standing style) etc. How many other “activities” of your every day life can you think of you stay sitting??? Doing laundry or the dishes is not the same it used to be because we live in an automated society and we have all the devices and machines to do the chores for us. We also have another 56 hours a week (at 8 hr per day) of sleeping which could be very beneficial if we actually went to bed early instead of watching the late night show. Anyway, I can not reinvent the wheel neither I can write better than the amazing articles I find at reliable websites. Please stop being in denial and get the scary data and useful advice from the following article.

Bare Foot Running

It’s seems like plantar fasciitis, Iliotibial syndrome, knee problems, shin splints are becoming an epidemic in America. One of my female clients has a major plantar fasciitis case and she told me she observed that most people were being treated for the same condition at her Physical Therapist office because of the same condition. Why is it that the more “advanced” running shoes we wear, the more injuries are reported in America? and Why the Tarahumaras, a mexican indian tribe or other native groups in Africa, South America, Australia among others who run pretty much barefoot don’t seem to have the same kind of injuries that Americans do? I will refer you to a very interesting website where you can find more information about it.

How to front squat with the proper technique

shumdesign — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 14:23:30 +0000

The Front Squat is a variation of the Squat with the barbell resting on your front shoulders rather than on your back. Front Squats are the best replacement for Squats when you can’t do these for whatever reason.

Like every other strength training exercise, proper Front Squat technique will help you achieve bigger weights while minimizing risks of injuries. Here’s how to Front Squat with Proper technique.

What’s a Front Squat? The Front Squat is a Squat done with the barbell on your front shoulders instead of on your upper-back. Put the barbell on your front shoulders, bend through your knees & come back up.

The right is a video of French weightlifter Venceslas Dabaya doing the Front Squat. Don’t worry about the weight & the bar falling on the ground at the end of the set. Dabaya is gold medalist & thus experienced. You’ll start light.
