Tone Your Arms With These 3 Bicep Moves

As a personal trainer and avid athlete across many sports I really enjoy the benefits of strong and tone arms. Many times at Energy Fitness personal training studio Downtown Memphis we get phone calls of clients stating they want to work on their arm strength and have toned arms. I have included in this post 3 bicep exercises. One exercise with a cable that is available in most gyms or fitness facilities, one with a resistance band and lastly one with a dumbbell.

This one is great as facing away from the stack you are less likely to cheat or round the shoulder forward. Try 2 sets of 8 heavy and do negative or try 2 sets of 10-12 reps at count of 4 (2 seconds up and 2-4 seconds on the down motion). Keep the shoulder blades back in their pockets and assume good posture and breathing throughout the whole exercise.

1 Arm Bicep curl – pictured with a resistance loop. Can also be performed with a band with two handles stepped on with both feet so you can do a double bicep curl. With bands typically you will want to do more reps. Try 2 sets of 20 reps resting 1 minute in between sets.

 

The first two bicep curls are in the supinated position (where your forearm is rotated in the palm up position). This works on the short head of the bicep which is the muscle that pops. You also need to work on the second head of the biceps (hence bi in the word bicep) so you can have muscular balance and all around definition. Be sure to not rotate the shoulder forward. One tip is to keep your elbow in the meaty part of the leg, specifically the vastus medialis and press your leg in towards your elbow as you curl the weight to the top position. Be sure to breathe and go at an even pace. If you are going heavier then use the other arm to slightly help get the weight in the up position and let go and use the muscle in the down position. Notice the position of my hand-this is called a DB hammer curl. Try 2 sets of 10-12 or go heavy and assist with the other arm for 2 sets of 8 reps.

Stiff/Tight Muscles is Fuzz Buildup…The Fuzz Speech

Energy Fitness loved recently hosting and attending Rock Tape FMT (Functional Movement Techniques) Basic & Performance Certification in our personal training studio Downtown Memphis. The instructor showed a very poplar video called “The Fuzz Speech”. If ever there was proof that you need to stretch and move your body this is the evidence.

This 5 min. video is both educational & entertaining and a must see. Dr. Gil Hedley makes complex facts seem simple with quick views of what happens under our skin and muscles when we don’t move our bodies everyday. I know I don’t want to have “the old person stiff walk/waddle now or later in life”..How about you? What lies below our skin between layers of fascia is what he likes to call the Fuzz. I’ve heard students clamor at the chance to take or attend one of his human anatomy lab classes. During my Advanced Kinesiology Lab at grad school I studied on a human cadaver. At first it was creepy but then became really fascinating.

If you have read any of our blog posts or trained with us then you know our holistic approach to health & wellness. We love to geek out by teaching and inspiring individuals on many layers and modalities ranging from better self-care to extreme self care routines with our personal training, nutrition & supplement coaching, massage therapy and detox wraps. If you stretch, use a foam roller or get body work-this video will help make sense of it all for you.

No one is gonna force food into or out of your mouth or physically grab your limbs and move the weights or cardio modes for you!

You have to be proactive and make healthy habits
happen stick or for this post about fuzz…Unstick!

MOVE YOUR BODY…We can help with Personal Training & Massage Therapy

Facial Massage & DIY Rolling Tools For Healthier Skin

Energy Fitness personal training studio in Memphis is more than just a training and nutrition coaching studio. We are about helping clients feel and look their best. We asked our Massage Therapist Mae Jensen, LMT to do this post on facial rolling and massage so you can be in the know and put your best face forward. These little inexpensive tools can be a great addition to your body and skincare routine. In early May if you live in the Memphis area you are very aware of the Tennessee snow (cottonwood) in the air and undoubtedly feel or have felt the toll it takes on your sinuses.

Let’s take a minute to talk about facial massage and our lymphatic system

The lymph system is kind of like the trash collector of our body, gathering up toxins and taking them to removal sites, our kidneys/liver and urinary system. Unlike our cardiovascular system there aren’t any valves or pumps to move things along so sometimes things stay stagnant. Did you know that weight lifting naturally helps to stimulate the lymphatic system? Massage offers benefits by using light pressure and rolling motions thus helping flush out the pipes and get rid of the symptoms of a backed up lymph system such as:

  • fluid retention

  • puffy/red eyes

  • breakouts

Here are two tools that you might want in your facial care toolbox! Left is Jade roller. Right is Rose Quartz Acupoint Tool Set. (click on images to see on Amazon)

So how do we start?

1. Apply an oil or lotion to you face to help reduce friction, you can use an SPF lotion in the morning and a nice collagen or vitamin E oil in the evenings to help protect from sun damage and wrinkles.
2. Using your fingers or a Jade roller start at your inner cheeks, by your nose and stroke towards your ears. Most skin care professionals suggest doing each motion 10 times or for one minute
3. Move on to the forehead next, starting at your eyebrows and moving upwards to your hairline then sweep outwards at the top, repeating 10 times or for 1 minute. (I like to additionally roll the eyebrows because all those moments furrowing at the kids to do chores seem to tighten this muscle creating deeper forehead lines. Tonya) 
4. Next starting at the center of your chin move outwards and up along the jaw to help naturally lift the skin, repeating 10 times or for 1 minute. (I like to additionally roll the jaw muscle to alleviate any TMJ tension, Tonya)
5. Once you’ve finished the face its time to move all the drainage to your main lymph nodes. Locate the jawline, at the end of the jawbone use gentle downward strokes moving to the mid collarbones, taking care not to massage your carotid artery.
6. Finish off by gentling tapping all over your face, like you’re playing a piano to stimulate you skin and wake up the lymph system.Image result for facial rolling map

Take this time to really connect and thank your body for the protection it offers us.

Don’t forget we offer an amazing facial upgrade to any of our massage services with Mae using the all natural products from the M’lis skin care line.

The M’Lis face wash wakes your skin with natural caffeine from green tea, followed by an invigorating exfoliation with apricot seeds, we then tone and tighten with natural collagen and clay mask. Lastly we give your skin a deep moisture treatment using Apple stem cells and a cool jade stone roller to seal and protect your pores. Be on the lookout for some amazing new skin care products coming this summer. We’re all about natural products!

True Hunger vs. False Hunger & Pink Cloud Syndrome

Our personal trainers at Energy Fitness downtown Memphis have had countless conversations with clients about hunger, meal planning and making better nutritional choices more consistently. Many actually admit that they are emotional eaters and don’t know how to stop. Do you know those super annoying people (uhh…I’ve been accused of being one) that say they eat for fuel and stay in the healthy zone 80% of the time with little or no effort? You also probably know those people that cave to cravings, food pushers or yo yo dieters that “feel they’ve worked hard..been good and deserve something not on a supportive eating plan”. You may even be one yourself. Eating when not actually hungry is called hedonic eating? Aside from caloric intake and hormonal imbalance obesity and overeating can also result from eating that is not driven by hunger. Recent research found that excess food intake is largely driven by the palatability of food and the pleasure derived from eating.

Lot’s of busy, bored or stressed individuals regardless of socioeconomic, gender, religion or willpower perceive what feels like physical hunger when is not that at all. Instead it may be emotional or spiritual hunger, such as a need for affection, affirmation, understanding, competency, accomplishment, or a deeper connection. Or maybe what first seems like hunger is even something else, such as anger, loneliness or tiredness. A tool called HALT can help you reclaim your brain/body connections.

HALT METHOD

 

 

  1. Pause for a moment.
  2. Ask if you're feeling hungry, or is it anger, loneliness, or tiredness (HALT?)
  3. Go deeper: Is there something I need or want that I am not getting, in this moment?

By recognizing the signals that your body gives you, you can prevent the loss of appetite regulation, hedonic eating, chronic overfeeding, and a rising set point weight. Not every pang of hunger needs to be treated with food. 

You’re not going to starve by missing a meal or a snack. There will be another meal. Tuning in to and discerning the messages you get from your body about hunger can help you shift to a place of balance between the left and right hemispheres, and develop a more peaceful and satisfying relations with food, brain, body and a set point. (Brain Body Diet, Sara Gottfried, M.D.)

Have you heard of Pink Cloud Syndrome?

My husband Mark recently heard and told me about something called the pink cloud syndrome as relates to weight quitting alcohol or drugs and can be applied to weight loss as well. An addiction can be many things which is simply called your drug of choice: food, drugs, shopping, alcohol, work, exercise, social media. In addiction recovery, the “pink cloud” is a term used to describe a high-on-life feeling in one’s journey to recovery. The Pink Cloud Syndrome is a curious but often short-lived phenomenon. Many people, after detoxing, feel too good about their recovery, as they’re finally able to see the real world behind a curtain of pills, drinks, and needles. An addict’s life is a roller coaster of emotions, and emotions are what trigger an addiction in the first place. Like any roller coaster, it’s not possible to stay joyful and delusional all the time: eventually, you’ll come closer to the ground, and that can bring too much disappointment to handle. The real world and all the problems that you are still facing can hit you, and that can be the first step to relapse. Many people in early recovery think that they’ll never face any pain and that they are cured. Addicts can feel too confident and may start to believe that the key to recovery is only in their hands: they forget that recovery is a long process, and not an on-off switch.(www.addictionresource.com)

In Summary

Simply being aware is at least the first step in the right direction toward your best body and brain. You’ve heard it a million times and here it is again. Mindfulness and tuning in to your body and it’s signals it gives you can bring you in line with optimal health. ONLY YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT GOES INTO YOUR MOUTH! REGAIN CONTROL!!! Have you tried journaling your feelings as you progress through your journey to lose weight, tone up, train for a race, or put on weight? Before and After pictures are only one piece of the puzzle the other is what’s in your mind and journaling may be just the insight you need to stop self sabotaging.

Rob’s 12 wk & 1 year Transformation. Who else want’s it?

Energy Fitness Downtown Memphis loves it when clients follow our advice and implement lifestyle changes. This client contacted us for Nutrition Coaching and then later for Personal Training advice. Rob Clark may have what most would consider a stressful job, Chief Government Affairs Officer of St. Jude and he doesn’t make excuses for finding times during the week to get in exercise. We coach individuals to empower themselves to commit to eating healthier and moving more efficient in their exercise programs.

In his video testimonial below Rob discusses since childhood how he has had a condition called Ankylosing spondylitis (pronounced ank-kih-low-sing spon-dill-eye-tiss), or AS, is a form of arthritis that primarily affects the spine, although other joints can become involved. It causes inflammation of the spinal joints (vertebrae) that can lead to severe, chronic pain and discomfort. He has always known that keeping active helps the symptoms.

Be sure to scroll down for before/after pics and videos

Rob decided he wanted to tap the breaks on poor nutrition choices and make healthier and more considerable lasting lifestyle changes. He is already very active on his own doing strength training circuit classes at the Y twice a week and running a few other times a week but he just wasn’t getting results he wanted. He contacted Energy Fitness to be prescribed the most effective exercises, stretches and meal plan(s) for his body. We initially did Nutrition Coaching and didn’t take pictures but after 6 months of Nutrition Coaching he wanted to again take it to the next level. He purchased a few private personal training sessions which is why we have the pictures dated October. We also did the Titlest Performance Institute Level 1 Functional Screen as he wanted his golf game better. This screen revealed most helpful limited range of motions in his body which was helpful in creating the best program for his goals.

We are sharing in this post his assessment numbers hopefully to inspire you to make a change and inspire you to create better habits. We now take pics even for clients that just get Nutrition Coaching with us. Pictures help us track alignment and posture as well as body weight changes.

Specifics to his exercise programming:

We focused on exercises that were going to tilt his pelvis under to provide a posterior tilt and better his range of motion and hip hinging. We gave him plies (sumo squats), Stationary Lunging back, 1 leg dead lift and specific ab/core exercises that are the same ones we prescribe to clients that have diastasis recti (a separating of the abdominal wall ) which isn’t only applicable to women post baby. Many men have this and are doing the wrong exercises to flatten and strengthen the abs.

Rob Clark’s results

April 12, 2018 to May 2, 2019 (age 57, height 5’11)

  • Went from 207 to 180.5 LOST 26.5 LBS (4.5 pounds from original goal)
  • Lost 4.75 inches (notice this number is not as high as others which is acceptable as he gained muscle and lost body fat) Abdoment was 38.25 now 36.5
  • Body Fat -went from 28.2% to 18.7% LOST 9.5% (abdomen fat in millimeters went from 43 to 28 and illium/love handles went from 23 to 12, back went from 28 to 17. Where each of us holds fat reveals a cascade of hormonal, insulin, carb intolerance, etc about what’s happening in our body.
  • Flexibility (modified sit and reach test) – went from 1 to 2.5 THAT’S 150% IMPROVEMENT in hip hinge movement)

 

 

We are still tracking Rob as he calls us for follow up assessments and continued coaching. We’re so proud of your results Rob and look forward to your continued success. Thanks for allowing us to share your story.

Stretching..try this Breathing technique & micro movements instead of time

As a personal trainer and torturer of my clients and myself I am often guilty of not stressing the importance of consistent stretching. At Energy Fitness after all we can only squeeze in so much during our 30 minute strength training sessions. If alas our clients and YOU know the many aspects of flexibility you may be so be inclined to add  stretching to your daily routine of self-care.

Stretching often is an afterthought or something people only feel that is needed to be done occasionally when there is an ache or pain to be stretch out.

“I’m all for being efficient with tasks in order to be more productive but let’s face it you can’t grunt and force your muscles into submission in terms of flexibility and lengthening the muscle.”

Each of you are unique in how much range of motion you are capable of for different muscles. Stretching is not like doing a bicep curl and forcing one more rep out.

Bend your mind to rethink stretching.

Wise words from our Sensitive Sage, Reiki Master/Intuitive Healing Practitioner/Yoga Instuctor Diana Sullivan:

  • The breath is the remote control of the mind.
  • It takes 8-12 breaths for your body to finally relax and achieve the full stretch
  • Theta waves are proven to heal the mind and body, and the way to get the brain into that space is via the breath.
  • Science is now showing that long deep breathing with the head below the heart slows the adrenal response and can slow the symptoms of an oncoming panic attack. 
  • For the sufferer of neck or back pain, learning how to access this relaxation response may be used in the short term to cope with the pain or discomfort of an attack, by helping the relevant muscles relax.

Do it more mindfully!

  • Breathing rate increases with breath holding so instead TRY ‘taking a deep breath in before re-stretching’ to signal the body that you are about to stretch further.
  •  As you hold each stretch incorporate micro movements to by seeing how you can move your body by either rotating the hips, torso, pelvis or shoulders to get just a little more range of motion?
  • Change your breathing patterns during different phases of the stretching process to help your body and mind learn the essential relaxation.
  • The best way to achieve better stretch results is the teach your muscles to behave as you wish, and use the C–R (contract-relax) approach combined with a focus on breathing. This method works great for the hamstring lying on your back stretch in which case you would flex your quad for 5-10 seconds then relax and pull deeper into the stretch and exhale.

The side bending stretch pictured above is more than just stretching the sides and lats but it’s additionally allowing your obliques to be elongated helping your hips to have more movement. Imitate the picture and try tucking your pelvis, shifting your weight, lengthen your abdomen, push out your chest, rotate your shoulder, stand taller. All of these micro movements can allow you to deepen the stretch. Each time you do a new movement take a breath and then exhale. Now, look at the shoulder and hamstring picture. Can you see how tight my low back is? Focus will be to rotate the pelvis forward like I’m dumping water out of a bucket or rotating the sacrum upwards towards the ceiling.

Other stretch positions may suggest you to breathe out as you get into the position. Usually, this will be to empty the lungs momentarily to facilitate bending forward or twisting.

In today’s stressful world were all running around in the flight or fight stage much to often and for extended periods of time. Muscles that are pre-stressed for one reason or another are often the muscles of the neck and upper back in which case the stretches shown may help.

Together with stretching and strengthening exercises, improving the relaxation response forms a highly efficient, multi-stranded approach to increased overall health.

All about that lace… (shoelace)

Did you know that there are over 50 ways you can lace your shoe to help with comfort and performance? From high arches to a wider foot; here at Energy Fitness downtown Memphis, we have hand selected a few options that can help with some fairly common complaints.

 TOE PAIN

To easily relieve pressure on the toe cap, the loop closest to the toe is connected diagonally to the eyelet at the shoe’s ankle so the front is easily adjustable with one quick tug.

  1. String the shoelace through one eyelet closest to the toe.
  2. Take that end and feed it through the opposite eyelet nearest the ankle.
  3. Using the other end, weave the lace across to the other eyelet near the toes.
  4. Continue to criss-cross the laces as usual.

The diagonal lace can be easily lifted to give toes more space.

WIDE FOOT

Here’s how to give your feet some extra breathing room.

  1. Begin lacing normally with a criss cross.
  2. Next, skip one or two eyelets on both sides.
  3. Continue to skip an eyelet as you move your way up the sneaker.

HIGH ARCHES

You’ll want to open up the middle of the shoe to give yourself a bit more wiggle room.  This lacing method relieves the mid-foot of pressure to help stabilize your feet for standing, walking and running.

  1. Lace shoe normally starting with a criss-cross.
  2. Keeping each lace on the same side of the shoe, skip an eyelet and weave into the eyelet above it.
  3. Continue to lace the top portion in a criss-cross until you reach the tongue.

RUNNERS LOOP 

For a truly comfortable instep, make a loop. This allows for a snug fit that will prevent the foot from sliding around inside of the shoe.

Exercise mantras

If we can use mantras for our personal well-being and for sticking to our nutrition plan, then we can most certainly use them for staying on track with our fitness as well.

If you missed the other posts I wrote about personal mantras and food mantras, go check those out, too!

Food Mantras

Personal Mantras

Using mantras helps us to create new behaviors automatically. It helps us to not have to think about working out, it’s just what we would do (like taking a shower).

Watch the video above to get some examples I personally use to create my healthy lifestyle. It’s something ANYONE can do.

Here are some additional tips:  try to squeeze in some type of exercise throughout your daily routine. Skip the elevator and take the stairs up to your office. When you go to the grocery store, park far away from the entrance to get in some extra steps. When you’re sitting in traffic, think about pressing your lower back into the seat and engage your abs. Every little bit helps!

Saboteurs

Have you ever had this happen? You’re doing all the right things–eating right, exercising, changing your mindset–and someone you care about says something negative about your transformation?

It happens a lot more often than you’d think. We call them saboteurs, or “crabs in the bucket.” So how do you handle it? Check out the video below to get my tips on how to handle these people. OR, if you are a “crab,” how can you change that?

Most importantly, know that you are not alone and that you can overcome these negative comments.

Keep your eyes on your own paper and forge ahead. You’ve got this!
