The Missing Ingredient To My Workout Regime

I’m always looking for ways to maximize my workout. I’ve discovered what works for me time wise isn’t the most efficient body-wise. A mid afternoon workout is my best scheduled time but it is in the morning that my body co-operates the best.

I’ve analyzed my routine and found that short bursts of aerobic exercise between weights gives me maximum benefits as well as breaking up the “sameness” of it all.

The biggest obstacle that I have been working on is keeping my energy level up throughout the entire workout. After all, what is a workout if it’s not working out?

 I’ve always had a healthy and hearty breakfast and followed fitness advice to drink plenty of fluids (16 – 20 oz) a couple of hours before my workout. However, I found that 30 minutes into the workout my energy level went way down. It wasn’t just tiredness either.
I even experimented with a little snack of fruit about 30 minutes before to keep my blood sugar levels up. This helped a little.

What has really made the difference is drinking a juice made from a green fruit called TAHITIAN NONI® Juice. I’ve read that marathon runners, surfing champions and professional athletes drink it for energy and for after competition recovery. There must be something to it.

I discovered it really does work! I followed the directions on the bottle, drinking 1 oz of TAHITIAN NONI® Juice first thing in the morning. But I found that if I drink another 1 oz about an hour before my workout it made a significant difference. If I workout every day of the week I will drink 2 oz in the morning on the heavier workout day and then 1 oz the next day (my lighter workout day). The 2 oz does give me a quicker recovery time. My muscles aren’t as sore and I don’t feel as spent.

All in all, I’m satisfied. Discovering the right time to workout (when possible), the best workout routine for me, the right type and amount of food to eat and drinking TAHITIAN NONI® Juice for energy and recovery has pushed me forward in results. I’m starting to reach the goals I once only dreamed about.

Horse Training For The Trail

More and more people seem to be training their trail horses to plow carelessly thru all sorts of obstacles instead of permitting the horse to show some of his natural good sense in evading those things which might prove dangerous to him. Who wants a horse that will dive into water without first trying to find out how deep it is? One show I went to had an obstacle that was a narrow aisle of poles, between which they set down several cardboard dress boxes! I never found out whether the horse was supposed to step on or over the boxes. Some stepped over, as mine did-which made sense I thought-and some stepped on them without batting an eyelash.

As for the concept of changing hands on the reins for the gate obstacle, I feel this should not be considered a fault. When you go out on a real trail ride, do you always know which way a gate is going to open? No! And if you come to one that opens the “wrong” way for the hand you are using, what do you do? You change hands and use the one most convenient.

Leaving the beaten path can be one of the great pleasures of horseback riding. I would like to suggest that common sense and preparation should guide us in developing these training programs.

Here’s hoping that a specific set of rules will be set up to eliminate the uncertainty and inefficiency of trail riding classes so that there will be trail classes that really do present obstacles that truly simulate the hazards found on a trail.
