Currently my favorite recovery workout is 15-20 miles on an Electric Skateboard.
60 mins of Shred-Flow.

Nuts!!!
A good source of Complete protein and other vitamins.
Be careful not to over consume as they are high in calories due to the healthier fats.
Loads of Variety and everything in moderation.

🚨Attention Everyone who is fairly Fit 🚨
(This is specific to people who have had a consistent training regimen for more than six months, this does not represent a Heart Rate Response of anyone who is brand new to exercise)

Your Warm Up is Extremely important!!!
A greater cardiovascular capacity requires a longer progressive warm up.
it should be a gradual progressive warm up that during the last 1/3 you’ve achieved 85-88% heart rate max in the middle upper yellow zone.

Do you find yourself getting frustrated doing strength training sessions with your heart rate monitor because it seems like your heart rate isn’t elevating as high as it should be?

Are you trying to do high intensity interval training but can’t seem to get your heart rate out of 50-65%?

Here’s a few examples of what happens throughout your training session if you get a proper warm-up first, versus no warm-up.
Check out the overall calories burned, particularly how much more I burned with an appropriate warm up.

After an appropriate warm-up, my heart rate is exactly where I want it to be for my strength training session.
without a warm-up, my heart rate stays in gray or blue most of the time, and I reach muscular fatigue prior to significant cardiovascular elevation.
Without an appropriate warm-up I burn way less overall calories throughout my training session and it physically does not feel like I’m doing as much work. They heavier loads seem even more challenging because my heart is not transferring gases and energy as quickly as it could be.

Your Ideal High Intensity Range is anywhere between 68-93%. (it doesn’t have to be loads of red, in fact it shouldn’t be, because the red zone is where you lose your technique, so it should be used sparingly for particular exercises).

Below are some Suggested warm up durations based on a consistent training regimen over time.

0-3 months: 5 min warm up
3-6 months: 10 min warm up
6-9 months: 15 min warm up
> 9 months: 20 min warm up

Hopefully this made you think of a few questions ?
Go ahead and ask👍🏼

Also remember that if you’re really interested, I wrote a book called, The Ultimate Heart Rate Training Guide. It’s available on Amazon.

Even Vegetables have complete protein!
Protein is found in almost every plant.
It’s in smaller quantities per serving, but it’s important to remember…
…It All Adds Up.
(Not to mention all of the other great vitamins and minerals we get from Veggies.

It’s a lifestyle, not a phase.

The Question I get most, when people find out I switched to Vegan a few years ago.
“But where do you get your protein?!”
…Complete Amino Acids are found in almost everything we eat… Beans are a great source.

People don’t remember what you say, but they always remember how you made them feel. How you consistently treat people, that’s who you are.
25 years later, I’m still consistently willing put in extra effort, while being aware of myself and those around me, kind to others, because people need more kindness in their lives.
