Not Just Any Yoga

Whether they have tried it or not, most people think they know what yoga is.

Some people with a little more knowledge are aware that there are in fact many different styles of yoga out there today.

Actually there is one brand of yoga that is different from all the rest - different from everything else you have seen before - with benefits you would not think to realize from your typical yoga class.

Its called Prasara Yoga.

Check it out:

Developed by international fitness coach, Scott Sonnon, Prasara brings movement and flow to traditional yoga practice.

Scott drew upon his years of research of cutting edge modern exercise science around the globe and deep investigation into the original ancient forms of yoga to create Prasara.

Here's Coach Sonnon himself demonstrating some of the sequences:

 

 

This is far from your typical yoga class. This is an evolutionary leap in fitness.

Its not about "stretching" or "flexibility".

It is about:

- mobility

- absorbing and retranslating force

- gaining real strength and functional muscle

- compensating for chronic chains of tension in the body

- moving freely, pain free, all the time

- finding your flow

 

 

 

 

Writing Your Story

A quick thought for today:

Purpose. What are you living for?

Truth. Are your beliefs grounded on reliable data?

Action. What are you doing to align your day-to-day life to your ultimate purpose?

These are the elements of your story.

Does your story move you? 

Take time, in quiet solitude, to examine your life.

Are you really living with a purpose that inspires you?

Can you articulate the truth you base you life upon?

Are all of your actions in accord with your intentions?

Take charge of your story and live it to the fullest!

 

Breakout of the Rut - Get Intu-Flow

You may realize it, but when it comes to your fitness you may be literally stuck in a rut!

Here's the simple rule about joint mobility - if you don't move it, you WILL lose it!

Like so many Americans you probably spend most of your work day doing repetitive tasks. Maybe sitting in front of a computer for hours on end.

Don't forget you commute time seated behind a steering wheel. Plus your off-duty time at home sitting in front of your TV or with your laptop.

Even if you do workout, again if you are like most folks you are moving in a narrow and linear fashion compared to the possible full range of motion of your joints. Maybe you run, bike or hike - again repetitive tasks.

Is it any wonder we get stiff and sore and find that movement that was easy when we were younger is no longer accessible to us!?!

We have created our own movement "ruts".

This is to be expected because the body is very good at adapting to stimulus. In this modern age we have trained ourselves well to be locked into a track of immobility.

 

Here the good news - there is a away to breakout of this downward spiral!

You CAN restore movement, energy, mobility and vibrant health to every joint in your body.

The Intu-Flow program is the time-tested method uses by countless thousands of people just like you who wanted to be set free from pain and reclaim their birthright of graceful movement.

The results you will achieve using this program just a few minutes each day will amaze you.

INTU-FLOW Complete Package

I have been practicing Intu-Flow daily for four years and I feel better, move better and AM better than I was in my twenties (I'm now 41).

Bodyweight Exercise: The New Fitness Trend

The latest hot trend in the fitness industry is bodyweight exercise.

The benefits are tremendous:

- Train anywhere, anytime - no gym membership required!

- Develop a 'total package' of attributes - strength, endurance, fat loss, and yes, even muscle mass

- Sophisticate your movement palette - gain complete freedom of movement without pain!

 

This is not just simple calisthenics. There's so much more to this than simple push-ups and endless sit-ups.

Start gaining the benefits of bodyweight training by learning the core routines of Circular Strength Training: Be Breathed, Forward Pressure and FlowFit.

These DVDs are so packed with exercises in varying levels of difficulty that you will find enough to challenge you for months. Plus you will gain the benefits that only CST offers.

Considering all you are getting, the modest investment in the Golden Three of CST will be well worth it.

 

Fitness for Warriors

Cœur de Lion / Heart of Lion

Traditionally the lion symbolizes the ancient noble values of courage, strength and bravery.

These timeless virtues are just as important in our modern world as they were in the 12th century for King Richard I - the Lionheart.

There is a way to find your inner strength, to conquer your ego, and be prepared to face any challenge with grace and in the end prevail.

   

After all . . . What are your reasons to be "fit"?

Sure, we all want to look good, eliminate fat, have toned, visible musculature.

With Circular Strength Training you can gain all that. But why stop there?

There is so much more to gain if you go deeper. Only CST offers you the progressive plan to take you where no other mere physique-centric workout routine or worse, random cocktail of exercises, possibly can.

You will start with General Physical Preparedness (GPP) - increasing overall work capacity

Then move to Specific Physical Preparedness (SPP) - train selected energy systems and attributes for your individual needs

Progress to Skill Specific Preparedness (SSP) - simulate the movement customized for your particular goals and create a safety zone for when beyond normal deviation occurs.

Finally you will reach the level of Mental/Emotional Preparedness (MEP) - where you will face the toughest challenges, confront your inner demons, and emerge victorious on the other side. Only the most brave dare tread here.

Become the warrior you are.

Fitness Anywhere

Sometimes less really is more.

So many fitness gadgets and gizmos on the market. So many silly infomercials. So many huge commercial gyms with big shiny machines.

Yet none of that will do the work for you to get you fit.

I am realizing more and more that some of the best fitness tools are the simplest. In fact what is quickly becoming my favorite tool is no tool at all - bodyweight only.

No gym memberships. No flaky, gimmicky equipment. Workout wherever and whenever you want.

But simple tools don't necessarily mean simple methods. You still need to sophisticate your movement. You still need a protocol to chart your progression. Endless sets of the same old push ups and sit ups are definitely NOT the way to go.

 

Through programs like Bodyweight Exercise Revolution and TACFIT Commando I have achieve huge gains in many fitness attributes - strength, power, endurance, as well as amazing physique benefits.

Move your body folks! In the end that's what is important -not the tool but the movement - that is fitness for your whole life.

 

Want to Have It All?

There are a lot of books, magazines, DVDs and websites out there promising the latest and greatest tips and "secrets" to becoming fit. Think for a moment what routine you are using now. If you are like many you have collected several different little exercise routines and just kind of mashed them together. Maybe you have become so confused or so cynical about what is out there that you've given up even trying to make sense of it all.

There is a better way. A way that is complete, comprehensive and with certified coaches to help you along the path.

You can find it at RMAX International.

- Joint Health

- High Level Conditioning

- Physique Building

- Sophisticated Training

- Cutting Edge Weight Training Tools

- Compensatory Movement Techniques

- A Worldwide Free Forum to connect you with professional guidance

Stop "Cutting & Pasting" your fitness plan. Don't go it alone.

Go to RMAX International and get it all in one place.

 

FREE TACFIT Commando Workout Routine

Here is a new announcement from RMAX introducing their hot new TACFIT program:

BIG things are happening in the RMAX world, and we can’t wait to share it with you!

Scott Sonnon has teamed up with RMAX Faculty Coach Ryan Murdock and CST Head Coach Adam Steer on a project that will change the face of bodyweight exercise, and raise the bar for downloadable training courses.

If you’ve been around RMAX for a while you’re already very familiar with Coach Sonnon’s educational resources. He’s built his reputation by producing programs that are innovative, cutting-edge, and that work better than anything else out there. Scott is one of the true innovators in the world of health and fitness.

As a member of the RMAX tribe you may also be familiar with Ryan and Adam’s work. They’ve built an incredible following with their CST bodyweight exercise resources and their recent Clubbell Training Black Book—their materials are known for their tremendous value, clarity and ease of use.

Getting these three guys together on one project is bound to be big news.

The launch of the full TACFIT Commando program is still a week and a half away, and we’ll have a lot more to tell you about that in the coming days—we plan to share some cool articles with you, video interviews with the guys, and other fun stuff. But before we get started, we wanted to give you a taste of what’s in store…

For the next few days, Scott, Ryan and Adam are giving away their brand new “Israeli Special Forces TACFIT Challenge” exclusive workout for FREE.

The entire program is bodyweight-only and can be completed in about the same amount of space you’d need to lie down in.

It only takes 20 minutes, but it’s endowed with an intensity and fat melting power most athletes don’t tap in a full hour of training.

Coolest of all, it doesn’t just include Mission Impossible style moves. It also focuses on the energy systems involved in tactical response. Training that burst-recover-burst with complex movements means you’ll keep thinking and improvising solutions while everyone else is gasping on the floor in a panicked mental shutdown.

There’s no catch and no credit card. Just flat out amazing information about what it takes to sculpt a shredded, functional commando physique that looks great on the beach but is also serious “go muscle”—not just “show muscle”
