Get Physique-a-licious

Archive for October, 2008

Well, I was not ever privileged enough to take any kind of kickboxing or any martial arts when I was growing up.  As a matter of fact, I really was into basketball.  I know I have said that a few times.  As I look back I wish we would have had that sort of fitness in my home town.  I really should say discipline. Well, actually I wish I would have had some sort of self-defense art. 

Now, being in the fitness industry I been privileged to see all kinds of martial arts studio and gyms pop up all over the place in the USA.  But where do some of these disciplines comes from.

I happen to be browsing and a viewer wanted me to take a look at his website.  I was really fascinating by it.

This martial art of kickboxing or really a combination of both is called “Muay Thai” kickboxing.  As I read about this on their muay thai training I was drawn into this discipline.  Did you know that in muay thai kickboxing is also known as “The Art of Eight Limbs” because you can use eight points of contact versus the two points of western kickboxing.  I found this very interesting.  Also, I found out that muay thai kickboxing is mainly in Thailand, hence the name Muay Thai. 

If you go to Thailand, you might want to check out muay thai in thailand, and to be more specific on the island of Phuket.  There is the biggest muay thai training camp of muay thai boxing.  Just take a look at all the great photos they show.  These guys are very physically fit.  I do have to say they are very disciplined in their diet to look like that.  If you think you would be interested in muay thai or any other forms of martial arts at least go and get your inspiration from their website.  You might learn a few things as well.  I know I did.

Get a variety into your workout by spicy it up with some different forms of martial arts.  Heck, if you want to take a vacation to thailand as least make a stop by Phuket and check out the world’s famous Suwit Institute of Thai Boxing.

Please go by and check out the website and click on the Questions and Answers and the photogallery too.

Even if you are interested in learning a self-defense.  Something is better than nothing and left hurt.  How much is your health or life worth?  Priceless, I would think.

I am anxiously waiting for the mailman to bring me my new DVD on Tony Horton’s One-on-One Training DVD.  This new one is suppose to be “Just Arms.”  I can’t wait.  I don’t know why.  I guess it takes a while for each to come in.  Seems like it gets later and later in the month to get here.  Oh well, it is not like I don’t have enough to keep me busy.

I like it when new stuff comes in the mail.  It is like Christmas each month.  I am addicted to new and exciting workouts.  I love challenging myself.  I can only take so much, but I love it.

I am thinking about uprgrading my P90X or should I say incorporating the Plus system with the P90X.  Tony has come out with P90X Plus.  It has 4 additional DVD’s with 5 extreme workouts.  I am thinking about purchasing that real soon. 

Now, I have to say that I love BeachBody products.  One because they are affordable.  Second, the experts are really cool people.  I have met just two of them and I think they are great.  They know what they are doing.  Carl Daikeler  Co-Founder/CEO of Beachbody really know how to pick the experts. I am impressed.

The 10 Minute Trainer has some really good exercises on it too.  I will get that next as well.

If you want to get those DVD’s or any of Tony’s DVD’s at a discount.  Be a coach.  Go to milliondollarbody.com and sign up to be a coach.  It is well worth the discount that you will pay.  Sign up under me (pkayfit) and let’s become a team and get people motivated to workout.  This epidemic we are facing is really getting out of hand.  The epidemic itself.  I look around all the time and can not believe my eyes.

I will be back with what I think of the new DVD if I ever get it in the mail.

Have a great workout.  ;)  Always Bring It!

If Tony is a little extreme for you.  I will post another workout system that is awesome also.  These experts are going crazy with all this old school stuff that they are bringing back.  Things I did back in the 80’s just alittle more upgraded.  I love it.

American Heart Walk!

For those of you who really have a passion for fitness, I think the American Heart Walk Association is a great organization to be a part of.  Today is the day for our event.  I am so excited.  They have choosen me to lead the warm-ups.  Okay, so it is just a little task, but a chance to really get my name out there.  My time to show how much I care about people and the way they chose to life their lives and hope that because they are participating in this walk to keep going.  Don’t just do the walk and then that is it.  This could be a start of a new person to take up exercising to help fight heart disease.  The number one killer in America.

I chose to help live my life longer.  I do all that I can to help others. 

I shall return with pictures.

I have noticed in the past year that my eyesight is deterioating fast.  I work hard to try and not make that happen.  I don’t know if it is cause I have not eaten enough carrots or it just maybe be the age thing.  I am hoping it is the carrot thing. 

Since, I have been fighting it, it got me searching for some corrective measures and I can upon this cool website  www.pinhole-glasses.com.  I have never seen glasses like this before.  This is cool idea.  It is recommended for people like me who sit at the computer most of the day.  They say it can help people that are elderly.  Individuals who may suffer from refractive eye disorders.  Hmmmm!  Oh and the best part is that they are cheap.  Now, I paid over $400 for my Michael Kors.  I know, I am crazy but they was what was recommended.  I really wished I had know about pinhole glasses before I went and spent all that money.

If you are having these kinds of problems, I really suggest you go check out these cool pinhole eyeglasses.  At this website they tell you how your eye is suppose to work and how these glasses can help correct the problem at a fraction of the normal cost for regular glasses.  They also tell you the science behind these pinhole glasses, which is so interesting to me.  I did not know that this type of glasses have been around to hundreds of years.  Very good read and informative.  They also explain the near sightedness and far sightedness.  I always get those confused.

So, if you are having issues with your eyes, I do recommend going to this website of www.pinhole-glasses.com and really see if you might want to try them out.  It is the natural alternative to prescription glasses.  I think I will pick up a pair myself to have at the computer.

Happy Reading!
