*THANK YOU for your recent video content requests!!! So....Sports conditioning ain't just for those sportspeople out there...it's also a great way to train that anyone can enjoy...why? Well let me tell ya...A) We all want to be the best version of ourselves right? Well sports conditioning helps us to 'unlock that inner athlete' meaning we can be stronger, fitter, faster but also move better with heightened purpose. Otherwise we risk becoming a gym monkey ๐ who's only good at push/pull movements...there's so much more to being human! B) At the top of our training pyramid sits our high intensity work, we all know about HIIT but breaking down high intensity training into specific movements for specific outcomes can have a profound effect on our performance levels. Don't 'just' rely on those HIIT classes when you can be more specific! C) Biomechanics - your body is designed to move in a multitude of remarkable ways. As mentioned earlier, reserving only a repertoire of push/pull moves in the gym is limiting your full potential...not to mention the imbalances it can bring if not practiced in a measured manner. So get your body to move as a whole! D) Its exhilarating...you may well be surprised at what you're capable of ๐๐ป๐ #conditioning #hiit #fatburn #sportsperformance #nike *only perform exercises that you have received medical clearance do so #TrainToLive #FaFitSake

#5 Creating Clarity & Passion - [How To Increase Motivation In Sport] - Motivation is thought to be a combination of many thingsโฆ the drive within us to achieve our aimsโฆ the outside factors which affect itโฆand the aspiration to prove โsomethingโ to ourselves.
With this in mind, motivation is considered and divided into two forms, intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation.
What is Intrinsic motivation?
This is motivation considered to come within [โinโtrinsic]โฆ the desire to perform and succeed andโฆ
โข The desire to overcome the problem or task
โข Develop of skills and habits to overcome that problem
โข Rehearsal of successful habits until they are perfect
โข A feeling of pride and enjoyment in performing the skill
โข Repeated goal setting in order to progress and maintain motivation
Extrinsic motivation
Extrinsic motivation comes from a source outside of the performer [โexโtrinsic]. These are things, which can encourage the athlete to perform and fall into two groups:
Tangible rewards: Physical rewards such as medals and money.
Intangible rewards: Praise, recognition and achievements.
Motivation, Arousal and Performance
Motivation is related to the intensity and direction of behaviour. That is, the level of arousal and the way in which we behave affect our motivation and hence performance. There are currently two theories which try to explain this link:
Hull's Drive Theory:
This demonstrates a linear relationship between performance and arousal. This means at low levels of arousal, performance is low and performance increases in line with an increase in arousal.
Drive theory
This theory also explains that novices to the sport often do not perform well under pressure and their skill level decreases due to poor habits and techniques. Habits are described as the performance, which is dominant within each person. Experienced athletes tend to perform better under pressure due to their superior skills and the use of stress management techniques.
Performance = habit x drive (arousal)
Inverted U Law:
This law states that arousal improves performance up to an optimal point. Past this point, performance begins to decrease.
Inverted U theory:
There are three rules, which surround this theory
Activity: Some sports are better performed at low arousal, mainly those which require small, precision movements and control, e.g. shooting
Skill level: Beginners to a sport require all of their attention to be focused on the task in hand and so do not cope as well with over-arousal. Highly skilled individuals have the skill well practiced and so do not require such high levels of concentration meaning they can deal better with the arousal level.
Personality: Extroverts perform better in high-pressure, high arousal situations. Introverts tend to do better in a state of low arousal. This is thought to be connected to part of the brain called the RAS or reticular activating system. Introverts have a highly stimulated RAS and so avoid stressful situations, whereas extroverts need high arousal situations to stimulate the RAS.
The RAS is something that youโll hear me talking a lot aboutโฆ
Anyways, I hope that this has helped and please remember to follow the full series on YouTube.

Lisaโs 3 Simple Steps to Increase Your Metabolism & Lose Weight This Week! Part 1 of 2!
Having a high metabolism will give you more energy and make you feel better. The higher your metabolism is, the more calories you burn and the easier it is to lose weight and keep it off. With these three tips, you can lose 2 pounds this week!
1) Make the simple swap!
Make simple adjustments by swapping out those high sugar and fat dressings and condiments for healthier alternatives and replacing industrially processed seed oils with avocado oil in the kitchen. A great alternative to sugar-laden dressings and condiments is Primal Kitchen!
ยท Salad Dressings are big offenders when it comes to added sugar, highly processed oils and other additives. Primal Kitchen's line of salad dressing is so delicious, made with avocado oil and real ingredients, minus the added sugars!
ยท Primal Kitchenโs ketchup is organic and unsweetened- amazing in both the flavor and nutritional profile. Itโs made with California-grown organic tomatoes and organic balsamic vinegar.
Bonus: Swap out sugar-laden bars & snacks for Primal Kitchen Collagen Fuel Bars and Shakes to increase your protein intake!
Backed by Science Fun Fact on High Protein:
ยท Those on a high protein nutrition plan will lose more weight than higher fat or carbs due because protein has been proven to increase your energy expenditureโyour bodyโs burning efficiencyโpromoting a greater degree of weight loss and increased metabolism! Reducing excess sugar and carbohydrates will reduce your appetite, lower your insulin levels, and help you lose weight without hunger!
You can find Primal Kitchen condiments in this area at Whole Foods Market, Mom's Organic Market, Giant, Wegman's and so many other retailers. Check out their store locator for a full list at https://www.primalkitchen.com/
2) If you're not doing strength training and high intensity intervals, start right now!
It has been scientifically proven that weight training with high intensity intervals will result in more weight loss than cardio or diet alone or in combination!
Invest in a Prism Fitness Medicine Ball to jumpstart your strength training and lose weight. With the ball, you will:
ยท challenge your muscles and increase your heart rate
ยท burn more calories during each workout
ยท burn 25% more calories post workout โ itโs the after-burn effect!
The Prism Fitness Smart Medicine Ball has exercises printed on each ball for easy references.

After progressing past the cartesian cross gaze stability drill, we like to build our patient's limits of gaze stability father in all directions. This is where we start to use the linear diagram to assess and work on people's ability to hold the eyes stable on a target that is farther and farther away from neutral.
Because we are starting to play with more and more complex visual drills it is always important to remember... YOU NEED TO BE ASSESSED BY A COMPETENT PHYSICIAN WHO IS TRAINED IN VESTIBULAR / OCULAR REHABILITATION!! You will not improve or may even worsen if you just start trying these rehab exercises without the proper assessment.

I tried shilajit for two weeks to see if the claims about shilajit are true, is Shilajit legit? And to also try and answer the question, does Shilajit work? What is Shilajit and how to use it?
I wanted to look at the benefits of shilajit see if Shilajit works as a supplement for better focus, concentration and energy - there are also claims that Shilajit boosts testosterone naturally and is used by some as a men's health supplement. I'm going to see what all this is about.
A viewer actually messaged me and suggested that I look into Shilajit. I hadnโt even heard of it before at all. The first thing youโll notice about shilajit is that itโs a thick black substance or a resin with quite a strong smell, thatโs meant to be ingested.

Being creative as an athlete can be a great thing. It is something that you can actually work on, and develop. Meditation is one of the ways we can do so, given that it helps to put us in a state of consciousness that aligns with increased creativity.
