Knowing When to Take a Step Back!

A truly healthy body knows its limitations. http://www.flatbelly-now.com

So many of us (especially when we start finding out just how enjoyable and invigorating fitness is) can really start to love pushing ourselves. We can literally get addicted to the feeling of reaching that next level, moving that much better, that much faster, that much stronger.
When this is the case, what often happens is that we learn to stop listening to our bodies. Both of us have done this in our own lives and we’ve seen it happen to our clients.

Your Body Knows Its Limitations.

Now, that doesn’t mean that limitations are absolute. A limitation can well be overcome with practice and time. It certainly shouldn’t be rushed.

Tyler got into a particularly difficult situation with an injury once. It was so bad that he couldn’t lift his arm past shoulder level. Having been so active for so much of his life, he found it incredibly difficult to stop moving and competing like he had for so many years.

But he had to. He had to recognize his body’s current limitations or risk injuring it even further.
The situation turned out to have a silver lining— overcoming this injury and, more importantly, finding the tools and techniques he needed to overcome this injury is what led to a lot of the methods we’ve incorporated into this program. http://www.flatbelly-now.com

Tyler figured out that he had only been focusing on bits and pieces of his fitness before – strength and agility in Cheerleading, for example, or strength and leanness in Bodybuilding.

Working through his injury and relearning how to work with his body taught him to focus on the “big picture” of his fitness. He got into corrective work and started seeking out certifications and improving his knowledge base.  He began developing workout solutions that worked for where he was at and what he was capable of— the very solutions we’ve included here in Flat Belly. He didn’t force himself into a mold, and let his body work out its injuries in its own way.

When he went back to the doctor to check on the status of his injury, he no longer had disk issues. He didn’t have any pain.  He had a full range of motion in his arm for the first time in months.  It was an amazing result considering the extent of his injury; plus, he didn’t have to spend tens of thousands of dollars on surgery.  It’s been six years since he had that issue and luckily he hasn’t suffered from it since.  And he did it all by tuning in and listening to his body, and with exercises he could do in his home— the very exercises we’ve included here in Flat Belly Programme.

Listening to Your Body

A critical factor in all of this is learning to listen to your body.  As you begin to make the necessary adjustments to your nutrition and lifestyle and begin to incorporate the exercises in Flat Belly into your way of life, you will begin to notice that you become much more attuned to what’s going on with your body.

As we discussed in the nutrition chapter, you become much more aware of how and when you need to eat or consume water. And, as we discussed in fitness, you become much more aware of what your body can do and how you hold yourself and move.

This somatic awareness is really key to Forever Body Transformation. It is this new knowledge and awareness that really creates the change necessary to help you lose weight and keep it off. http://www.flatbelly-now.com
