You can get inspiration just about anywhere to keep your stretching routine exciting. Recently, I had a massage session for several muscle knots in my back. These kinds of troubles had started some discomfort in my hip and I was told that I needed to begin stretching my hips to avoid the muscle knots from reforming. My problem is that is KNOW I need to stretch, but why can't I stay motivated whenever it happens to come to stretching? The reason that came to mind I believe immediately seemed to be how that is actually the most monotonous part of my work out and usually I just bypass this. Now I Have to begin a stretching routine and i also wanted a method to allow it to become entertaining.

I require fun and flexibility … immediately I think of cheerleaders, although without the actual cheerleader present, monotony would certainly set in very quickly. For that reason the next notion was regarding UFC fighter BJ Penn hopping around on a single foot while some dude was in fact raising the other foot well over his head along with Joe Rogan announcing BJ can place his leg at the rear of his noggin without making use of his hands. So I don't know if you've ever tried to put your foot at the rear of your head, but I found that to be a hopeless job. Check it out now. Could you achieve it? We had to check out the video online to be able to wrap my mind around the way you could possibly attempt it without the need for your hands.

When searching for ways to carry out my adoration for mixed martial arts straight into my own stretching routine, I discovered this training video of Eddie Bravo on: Flexibility and Work Ethic.

He will be exhibiting precisely what he requires someone to receive a black belt out of him at 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu. He exhibits easy methods to stretch the groin and hips in numerous ways, including the lotus position. He mentions how your knees, hips, and groin all ought to be stretched and to continue a stretching program as a way to retain that standard of flexibility. I won't be getting a black belt from Eddie Bravo any time soon, but it really does give me a goal to reach pertaining to my overall flexibility.

Determination
When I need a bit of determination and also ideas for any new exercise I always take a look at MMA fighters that train on the highest possible level of competition. They have tremendous cardiac endurance and core flexibility, which is exactly what I'd like from my own workout sessions. The flexibility these guys have got is undoubtedly the thing I will be attempting to imitate at some point.

I don't believe that I'm going to need to kick a person in the head or execute the Jean-Claude Van Damme side splits to punch an attacker in the crotch, but the truth is never know, right? All kidding aside, this won't ever take place, however improving your range of flexibility will increase your swiftness as well as balance while reducing your risks for several sorts of sports injuries.

What are you interested by that may be converted into your everyday stretching routine? Whenever you take a seat and watch Television at night? As Eddie Bravo refers to within his video clip, this is the superb time to improve your own overall flexibility and you will start seeing the advantages in your normal work outs in no time! Adhering to your own stretching routine is going to be less difficult and much more fun if it incorporates anything at all you find useful or even anything you like working at.

Who knew that radio would die a slow death and podcasts would skyrocket? I guess Steve Jobs did. He is a smart one. I think he’s going to go places someday.

Lately, I have become quite the podcast listener. For me, it’s that sweet spot of passively listening during certain activities. Rarely, am I doing nothing and just focused on listening. I’m usually in the car or on the treadmill. I’ve turned into that guy who drives down the road with his ear buds in. Is that legal? I’m not sure.

I digress. I decided to give you my top picks for the podcasts I listen to. So, in no particular order here we go.

BEST INTERNET/BUSINESS/ENTREPRENEUR PODCASTS

6. 37 Signals – This is a podcast from the people who created Base Camp, Camp Fire and Back Pack. They are super smart people who will teach you how to distill your business down to what works and eliminate what doesn’t.

So there you have it. My podcast favorites.

I heard Dave Asprey speaking on the Joe Rogan experience podcast a few months back talking about putting butter and coconut oil in coffee and calling it bulletproof coffee and since then he has popped up on quiet a few podcasts that I listen to so I decided to give it a go. The idea behind the beverage intermittent fasting in order to loose fat, the coffee contains caffeine which is a thermogenic which basically means that it turns up the temperature of your body and it needs fuel to do this and uses fats to do so. All fats are not created equal and some are better for you than others and there are even some fats, taken in the right amount will burn more fat! Butter is a good fat, it contains omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, the coconut oil contains MCT with is one of those fats that help burn fat. So the combination of 3 ingredients is the coffee which contains the caffeine is the fire, the butter which is the fuel and the coconut oil which is the primer. The intermittent fasting I always thought was not eating for a day or a couple of days, but its more to do with the space between your meals, so if your last meal at night is at 9pm and then you have regular breakfast (cereal, toast , carbs etc) at 8am then the gap between your meals was 11 hours. So if you change the normal breakfast for bulletproof coffee you now have your first meal at lunch time, and the gap between meals will be longer, up to 16 hours, this will enter you into ketosis which means that our bodies are using fat for energy instead of having to burn off the carbohydrate that we would get from a regular juice and cereal breakfast. What Dave Asprey claims is that all coffee is not equal and most coffee has a mold growing on it that is toxic and this is what give us the jittery buzz and the coffee crash associated with the drink. He had sourced his own coffee beans that did not have this mold and thus not give you the crash but only the cognitive advantages.

So here is my own experience on drinking bulletproof coffee for over a month on a daily basis. Firstly I have to say I only ever used coffee as a drug before training and never as a beverage as I am quiet sensitive to it and most of the time would make me wired and secondly I did not use Dave Asprey's brand of coffee. I also ate breakfast of 3 whole eggs, a tomato, garlic and handful of spinach first. I found I was more cognitive and organized in the morning with out being jittery, I also lost fat and was not hungry for another 4 to 5 hours. I really like the way I feel on it and would recommend you give it a try. By the way it tastes great, that was something I really didn't expect, but it is creamy and smooth. How I differ on how it works is I think its the high fat content that stops the wired feeling of the caffeine and not the brand of coffee, but having said that FDA food regulations in the US differ to Europe so just might be better grade in Europe. A way to really test this is just take caffeine pills one morning and then the next day take caffeine pills and some butter and coconut oil and see if there is a difference

If you are a business owner then this list of the top 10 business podcasts is a must for you.

As a business owner/ entrepreneur, we all know that maintaining and growing a business can be extremely difficult and taxing at times.

In order to keep growing and moving forward with our businesses, we have to constantly learn and develop new skills. That doesn’t sound too difficult in theory but with the daily pressures of operating a business, it’s not always easy to find the time to learn these new skills.

There’s only so many hours in the day so we need to be smart about how, and what we spend our time on.

A great way of achieving this is to maximize our downtime by listening to podcasts. Even busy business owners have downtime (walking the dog, going for a jog, commuting during the day etc) so it’s a perfect opportunity.

So now you’ve decided to check out some business podcasts where do you start? Well finding the right podcast can be tough, anyone with a microphone and a computer can basically record a podcast so let me show you the best business podcasts so you can cut the fluff and get straight to the gold.

There you have it. The best podcasts to get you fired up and ready for action!

If you are serious about getting in shape, learning how to fight, and maybe even becoming a professional fighter, then it is vital to get the best training your area has to offer. Natural talent and a good physique are great, but once you step in the cage it's a whole new game, and there is no running away. If you are going to workout and train in MMA, then you must seek out a good school, and perhaps even more importantly, a great instructor. Below you will find 4 of the most respected MMA training centers and Martial Arts schools in the United States.

American Top Team

The main American Top Team Academy in Coconut Creek, Florida has built a solid reputation and has been praised by both Joe Rogan and UFC President Dana White. It originated as a real fight school with a big emphasis on grappling, although it has now spawned a number of other franchise locations around Florida at different levels of certification. The school mainly promotes itself by being the "home" to a lot of big name fighters, such as Kimbo Slice.

The Pit

The Pit was founded in 1986 in California as a professional training gym for serious MMA fighters. It has now moved to Arroyo Grande, California and is also known as 'KuZen' in an effort to attract a wider student following. The Pit was founded by John Hackleman and is probably most famous for top student Chuck 'The Iceman' Liddell, as well as for training Tito Ortiz. At the Pit you can learn Hawaiian Kempo – a blend of kickboxing, judo, western boxing, Kempo, western boxing and Jiu-Jitsu. It is definitely worth dropping by if you are in town and are a fan of Chuck Liddell.

UFC Gyms

The new UFC Gyms may not have been around long enough to really establish themselves as producers of great fighters and top level training, but they can offer a lot for a beginner. If you take a look around the website for the flagship UFC Gym in Concord, California, you would think UFC Gyms are really not that much different than your local LA Fitness or Bally's if it wasn't for the octagon and the big name on the front, but they are worth keeping an eye out for.

The Lab Mixed Martial Arts

The Lab Mixed Martial Arts academy in Fredericksburg, VA is one of the best choices for real MMA training and is ranked as one of the best MMA schools not only in Virginia, but in the entire United States. Head Instructor Chad LeBrun has a formidable record as an undefeated MMA fighter and is a Jiu-Jitsu black belt. At The Lab you will not only find the only cage in the Federicksburg area, but you will discover superior MMA striking training from an instructor who has also provided training to special law enforcement and military groups. If you are ever in Virginia, you have got to stop by.
