Take a moment for yourself

Hi guys hope you had a great weekend! It's other week in front of us, wish you a great one! I'm not sure where is this blog going, yet. The first idea was that I make something serious but I didn't want to be too serious so I added recipes, traveling of course there are few series themes and I'll always add more. Especially when I feel like I need to explain few medical tricks. As you know I'm soon to be a doctor so medicine/health is my priority. 

I wanted to make a blog that will simply relax you and the kind of blog that you can't wait for another blog post. I like to read so I was starting from myself; When I'm free and taking time for myself I usually make coffee or tea and enjoy reading something new and interesting weather its blog, magazine or book.

I wanted to create something that will make you lost in the words and the blog which will make you stop for a minute and relax. I wanted to make something which will be a base of positivity for you/ as my readers.  I'll do my best to make it interesting!

So, ARE YOU READY? 

A long time I was training in the gym and closed spaces now when I'm near the sea its shame not to train in the nature. I'm getting back to running. To be sincere, I'm not a huge fan of running lol :) but I do it anyway because I feel better after it. I tried lot of things but for my body the best results I saw in the gym; Anyway I wanted to make a nice change. Fresh air, sun, nature its all perfect :) 

I need to warm up my body before the workouts so I run. Daily I run 3-5km I think it's enough, because my training lasts for an hour.

My Training from yesterday :

Yesterday, I've been running for 15mins and 45 min of arm and ab work out. I've done 4 series of 10 push ups (wide and narrow), 3 series of 10 triceps bench dips, 4 series of 15 glute extensions on a bench (donkey kicks), plank for 30 sec. I usually mix elbow plank 10sec, left side 10sec and right side 10. Do it 3 to 4 series. And again to heat it up, I ran 10 min. After it I've done plank with a leg raise 3 series of 20 sec.( I do it 10sec with each leg raise), walking plank (elbow-palms) 3 series x 10 reps. 

And the last something for abs ; I've done 3 x 15 alternating curls, 3x 15 push through, 3x 15 food to food crunch (or side to side what ever you call it JUST DO IT!).

Don't forget to stretch after every work out!!!

Be nice to your muscles! :)

I hope I don't need to point out that you need to relax 1,5 min - 3min between every exercise. Forget about those myths you're cooling down or have to push it through, burn your calories that is crap. The "relaxation" time is for your muscles because they need to prepare for next round. Maybe you've noticed that when you don't make pauses every next circle you have less and less energy. So, give your muscles a time. I usually make 1,5-2min of pause between every repetition. 

Other thing, remember you don't lose calories when you train, you are using the fuel of your muscles (energy) and after the training when you are relaxing and sleeping etc. your muscles are recovering; so they use carbohydrates and fat to build stronger muscle fibers and that's how you become stronger with every training (with every day) !!! There are lot of metabolic changes occurring which in whole resulting YOU ARE GETTING STRONGER and of course getting healthier and fit!

That's why is important to realize why you need to eat healthy. Because your body needs a RIGHT fuel! Of course we all have need for junk food, Ok you can have cake or pizza or french fries from time to time in normal portion not super sized. You can have everything you want just take care of your body and it will thank you later. 

I'm not one of those you can do it shit; I have my own struggles. It's not perfect. You just have to get use to it. I take piece of cake and it becomes everyday piece of cake and then I return to no cake. See! We all have those moments. It's up to YOU to make RIGHT CHOICE!!! I'm not starving and it's not a struggle. I'm always looking for healthier versions of what I like to eat. I'm trying to fuel my body with vitamins and minerals instead of carbs and fat from which I don't have anything useful. 

It's still summer and you can work out in nature. It's not just good for your body it's for your mind too. It clears your head and makes you fly. It makes you feel like you can move the mountain.

This is the right moment DO IT NOW!
