Like Moving Through Clay

    Just got done with a great DDP Yoga workout doing his Red Hot Core and added in some improvised training to spice it up. Feeling awesome and the energy is flowing like a beautiful river. When you feel like you got your ass kicked but feel strong at the end at the same time you know you're doing something right. I love hardcore training at times where you just bust out and go into beast mode but hardcore doesn't always tough and rugged, it also could mean just sweating out a great workout and engaging everything and hardly have to move at all. Depending on the weather you may not always want to go somewhere if you want to get a workout in. It's cold as hell here in Idaho the highest right now is at best 28 degrees. I'm not a winter person, I'm from sunny California god dammit, so in the winter I tend to stay indoors and train but in the summer I'm hardly in the house unless it's way too hot out (gets into the 100's at times) but I'm out swimming, sprinting at the park, being out in nature and climbing a tree or two. However when it comes to certain training, DDP Yoga has a place just about anywhere.

 
    In the old days before steroids, supplements and artificial HGH, athletes built their bodies to the degree where if you wanted to build real muscle you needed real training methods. Some Weight lifted, did gymnastics, wrestled, play ball, did a lot of manual labor and other things of those sorts but often especially in the muscle building world the most common form of building natural muscle mass was the method of Muscle Control. You engaged the muscles to the point where you can flex and relax practically anywhere on the body from the neck to the calves. When you flex the muscle you're building pressure into the blood stream and when you relax it flows. When the tissue breaks down it has to repair itself but yet it doesn't grow back the same way, it has to get bigger in order for it to be useable. Now natural muscle building of this caliber may not make you look like a bloated bodybuilder but it does help create more blood flow, increase the metabolism to burn off fat tissue and naturally structure the body so when that unwanted fat is out, you have built an athletic style physique. In DDP Yoga this applies to many of the exercises in the system because as you move while engaging the muscles, you're building up the heart rate and your breathing becomes erratic. The breathing is the second most important, as you move through the exercises breathe naturally as possible with a good sense of inhaling and exhaling. A lot of people don't realize how their breathing because paying attention to it isn't in their common sense so usually when they hold a posture or go through a movement, they hold the breath which can lead to a series of problems you don't want like inflammation, high blood pressure, migraines and even hernias. Breathe and learn when and how to engage the muscles needed.

 
    In the program as he takes you through the exercises he tells you to adjust according to your body's needs and level of difficulty. Some of the exercises are insanely difficult especially in his Extreme program and even some of the advanced programs leading up to Extreme. Even if you can't keep up that's fine, work within your own level and do the best to your abilities. That's one of the great things about this system, you're not expected to be this elite trainee and there's no pressure on how you want to level up, it is up to you and making it your own. I love that and I love the philosophy behind it because it's better to be your own trainer than to have someone push you when you're not ready. I've seen some trainers that are complete jerks and don't really give a damn about how to progress someone, they push them until they can't take it and push some more. This isn't the fucking army, it's about making the best of your abilities and progressing at a level suited to the individual. I use to feel guilty because I couldn't keep up with some people and thought I wasn't good enough. After realizing that being true to myself and training according to what I want to do, I felt better and I progressed quicker in other systems. When you learn to intuitively engage your muscles into your exercise, you're getting a sense of how to train for you and understanding what works for you.

 
    Anybody can train if they put their mind to it, from the disabled to the elite pro athlete, it takes effort and commitment but there are possibilities. I've gone from being close to death at 14 months and broken legs at 20 to being able to bend spikes, do handstand push-ups and even throw in 1000+ Hindu Squats. Some people have had far more trauma than I ever did and they came back with a vengeance. You can do something if your heart is set on it and you have the drive to go after it. I've been overweight as a teen and at 20 and was skinny before being a teenager and now at 30 at 5'10 250+ pounds I've got enough muscle on me to do what I want to do and do things people close to me have said were impossible to do. You have the power my friend and you always have, question is how do you plan on getting it out and make the best of what you have and go even higher? DDP Yoga can give you tools you never thought existed before and take you to levels of fitness even superior athletes would be impressed by. Make it your own and get your hands on one of the best systems in the world today.

 
Happy Thor's Day everyone, be awesome and go for the BANG!!!!

Why Create Your Own Workout

    There are those who teach a fitness class, have a DVD, follow along seminar training and other ways to have people follow what you do. For most following along someone is all they'll ever do, I do it from time to time but for totally different reasons. To me at first it's just learning what I want to experiment with and what I'm interested in but I draw the line after that because my brain cannot process the idea of not just training but trying to keep up with the other person. Some people can do that and that's fine but you're also missing out building your own style of training that's not just physical but mental as well. This is part of the reason why I do things my own way, I have to build my brain differently because I cannot think or do things the general population does, things have to be broken down to the smallest detail that I can understand and if it's any interest to me than I progress quickly but if it's frustrating for from the very beginning I move at a much slower pace or I quit. I love learning and feeding my knowledge like a sponge but like some others I have a very different process system so I work within ways that are comfortable for me and challenging. Build your brain through movement at your own accord.

 
    It doesn't matter if you a favorite program or a favorite exercise, if something is interesting to you and you want to learn at your own pace than do it. Learn the exercises that seam pleasing to you and challenging enough that gives you the drive to be better because if you just go through stuff you hate, you're not going to make the progress you want. Bruce Lee said it best "do what's useful, discard what doesn't" it is very simple yet most make it more complicated than it has to be. It's understandable to not realize what you may or may not want to learn but something will trigger you and you'll be interested in it or you'll hate it. I have learned hundreds of exercises over the years (17+) and yet only a fraction are the ones I really do that make me happy and interested. Nobody in their right mind would do exercises they completely hate and someone once told "it doesn't get easier." If you want to get the best out your training, find the real exercises that are challenging and interesting to you, here's what I say "Nothing gets easier, but it can get interesting" that's a more positive note and feeling less like a failure and feeling like you're winning a competition against yourself.

 
    Nobody knows what you're really thinking except you. You have different goals, different thought process and you progress differently. In order to get to that optimum level, you have to challenge yourself, not others so when you have built a foundation for what you want to focus on, create something around it that is suited to you. Mix and match your own routine, do challenge workouts that you are willing to do and take your progress to a level that is within your own reach. Nobody can do your goals for you, you can be inspired and influenced but if you want something and it's the best, you have to go and get it yourself. Focus on what's important to you and educate yourself. This is the type of thing I have learned throughout my life in everything I do, even in college most of the classes I took were in fitness and some of the things I did didn't appeal to me so I tweaked them to my liking and I was better at educating myself by learning who I wanted to learn from and use their influence to build my own thing. I do want to get better at becoming certified in certain areas but I've also had some cool experiences training people and learning my own physiology and anatomy.

 
    One athlete I admire that made a living after his athletic career is Diamond Dallas Page of DDP Yoga fame. He has done a hell of a job turning an ancient art into a cardio busting, strength building and conditioning style of training that is fun, interesting and different. A motto of his is that "Make it your own" where you progress at your own level and do the best of your abilities and if you need to rest every now and then do it but keep challenging yourself and push when you're ready to push. I have followed this motto for nearly 10 years before I even heard it from the guy so it appealed to me right away. Learn with the best intentions and create what you want instead of others telling you what to do. Progress at your own pace, find things that are interesting to you and challenge yourself so you can get to that next level. Encourage others instead of putting them down, you have one mind and one body so use them to what works best for you. Study who and what you want to know and learn. Make opportunities for you and create your own destiny because nothing is sweeter than building something that you have done and made an impact on it.

 
Happy Tuesday everyone, hope you all got your shopping done for xmas and had a wonderful holiday weekend. Be awesome my friends.

 
    

Bad 45: Fat-Burn, Muscle-Gain, Energy-Increase. Visible results in 1-2 weeks!

A Scientific System that can help you to get in best shape at ANY AGE - without a Gym, without Pills or Powders, WITHOUT PAIN, and even with a Demanding Travel Schedule!

Have you unsuccessfully tried different fitness program to shed some unwanted pounds?
Are you trying to get in shape, but your busy schedule makes it hard to go to a gym or maintain a workout routine?
Do you feel that you need more energy?
If you answered Yes to any of those questions please take a few minutes to read this message.

I have discovered an absolutely unique fitness program based on the revolutionary approach to burning fat, building muscle, and enhancing your balanced energy throughout the day. This program exploits cutting edge discoveries in exercise endocrinology. And it does not require any special or expensive equipment; you will need only your own bodyweight and a pair of dumbbells!

BAD 45 was designed by Coach Scott Sonnon. Who is he? He was proclaimed by Men’s Health magazine as the creator of the World’s Smartest Workout. He is the Flow Expert, whom Men’s Fitness magazine named “one of the Top 25 Trainers in the World”. His methodologies are recognized by Men’s Health magazine as “guaranteed to build muscle and burn fat anywhere, anytime” Simply put, Scott Sonnon is the Real Deal!

BAD45 is different from other fitness programs available on today. Nothing on the market was designed for PORTABILITY, EFFICIENCY, SIMPLICITY and EFFECTIVENESS like BAD45. Imagine that you had access to the Coach of a USA National Team, or the Trainer of a Special Operations Unit, or the Instructor of a Federal Agent Academy. What would those three experts have in common? They all need to be able to provide time and space efficient solutions that anyone could simply perform without in-person supervision in any conditions or environment, and achieve and surpass all of the targeted results. That is precisely what you get with BAD45.
Furthermore, there is NO other program on the market which considers the hormonal impact of your training.

BAD45 was designed so everyone can benefit from it with 5 different levels of access:
1. RESTART - for those who've been away from exercise for a long time.
2. REBUILD - for those who've taken a short break from exercise.
3. STRENGTH - for those who've been exercising, yet are not getting the results they want, and are ready for the next step.
4. MASS - for those who had been getting results but have plateaued and can't continue to grow.
5. REFINE - for those who've had a consistent exercise program, but who are really looking for the next step in hormonal optimization for that last 20% of results they've never been able to (re)gain.

Finally a Program Which Considers the Hormonal Impact of Your Training

Unsuccessfully trying to lose weight?
Try this program that can burn fat, build muscle and increase energy, with initial visible results in 1-2 weeks!

What would you say if somebody told you they found the ultimate new program to get in shape? Chances are you will say that you are not interested or feel skeptical about another program promising results.
The reality is that there are so many 'best and fast solution' systems on the market, which unfortunately do not work, that many people lost interest in them, and are very skeptical when they hear about a new approach

BUT WAIT. Before closing this email please read the few sentences below. They just may put you on the path to an improved quality of life.

Coach Scott Sonnon – proclaimed by Men’s Health magazine as the creator of the "World’s Smartest Workout" - has introduced a revolutionary approach to burning fat, building muscle, and enhancing your balanced energy throughout the day. It has been Beta tested and the results have been documented and speak for themselves.
And now this unique fitness program called BAD45 is available to you!

Did I mention all that is required for completing BAD45 is your own bodyweight and a pair of dumbbells.

BAD45 exploits cutting edge discoveries in exercise endocrinology, which gives you entrance into three critical windows for your optimal performance: the catabolic, or fat burning window, the anabolic, or muscle building window, and the metabolic, or energy enhancing window.

Your biochemistry cycles once a day - your circadian rhythm - and several times within that day - your supradian rhythm. If a program is not based upon these rhythms, no matter how hard you work and regardless of how clean your diet is, you will not get the results, or you will not keep them for very long.

There is NO other program on the market which considers the hormonal impact of your training. Exercise is a biochemical event. Your muscles are merely doing the work, but it's your biochemistry which gives you the results.

Again, there's simply NO other system which has been designed with optimizing your hormones for fat-burn, muscle-growth and energy-increase like BAD45.

Do not hesitate. Try BAD45. The fat-burn will be noticeable within the first 1-2 weeks and the muscle gain not long after!

Cutting Edge Fitness Program from the 'World's Smartest Workout' Coach

Hey guys,

I have exciting news to share with you.

But first, please consider if any of the following apply to you:

- Have you exhausted yourself to frustration with the inability to lose fat, increase muscle mass, and increase your vital energy throughout the day?
- Are you tired of programs, which result in inevitable fat gain, muscle loss and energy decrease?
- Are you interested in diversifying your fitness training?
- Are you bored from practicing the same repetitive exercise routines?
- Are you new to exercise and looking for an Ideal Program for beginners?

If your answer is Yes to any of these questions, then you need to take a look at an all new program:

BAD45: The Ultimate Home and Travel Bodyweight and Dumbbell Workout System to Optimize Hormones for Fat-Burn, Muscle-Growth and Energy Increase.

BAD45 was designed by the "World's Smartest Workout" Coach Scott Sonnon, Tactical fitness advisor to the US Departments of Justice, Homeland Security and Defense.

This is a revolutionary approach to burning fat, building muscle, and enhancing your balanced energy throughout the day.
There's simply no other system which has been designed to optimize your hormones for fat-burn, muscle-growth and energy-increase like BAD45.
By hitting the three critical windows in your cycle of recovery - the catabolic, the anabolic and the metabolic - you only need to follow the turn-key daily calendar to achieve results you haven't been able to access before, even when working your hardest and spending an enormous amount of money on the "perfect diet."

To make this system as accessible as possible to the widest range of people, Scott Sonnon – whom Men’s Fitness magazine named “one of the top 25 Trainers in the World” - has designed BAD45 to use the most basic resistance training tool currently available around the world: the dumbbell, and your own bodyweight. No matter where you are, you have these inexpensive (the dumbbells) and free (your bodyweight) tools.

Save yourself money by eliminating enormous fees on gym memberships. Avoid facing months and years of frustration not getting your desired results, or temporarily getting results and then losing them due to regress, pains and injuries.
