Hello and Welcome to my website!
I run a health and fitness
website called www.yojofitness.com.
It promotes fitness and health related products and things
that have to do with it.
I also coach little league
baseball and just came off a pretty good season. We just finished
playing in our last tournament and finished second. I am also
a jogger and try to jog 30 miles a week. So between work and
coaching I have a busy schedule, but enjoy every bit of it.
Below are some tips to help you begin a fitness program to
enhance your health and well being.
As you explore my site, you'll find many stores and products
that you won't find everywhere else on the internet.
Thanks for visiting
and enjoy shopping!
Fitness Tips Part
1
No. 1
After years of jogging
and through trial and error, I found out the best way to jog
and prevent injuries
Find the best shoe that
fits your foot. The key here is finding the best shoe for
you. I have talked to a lot of people and they tell me that
this is a great shoe or that one is, but when I try the shoe
out it doesn’t work for me. Almost always I can tell right
away if the shoe will work or not. Remember everybody is built
different so when buying a running or walking shoe, find out
what type of foot you have first. A great way to do this is,
with a bare foot wet the bottom of your foot and then step
on a piece of paper. This will tell you if you have a foot
will very little arch medium arch or a high arch. Now when
you want to buy that pair of running or walking shoes you
can look for a pair that fit your style of feet.
No. 2
Change your running or
walking pattern. Running or walking the same routine every
time also causes injuries. When we run or walk outside our
pavement or surface we are on is never even or perfectly flat.
I found a route to jog on and loved everything about it but
for some reason my right knee started bothering me after a
couple of times jogging on it. I thought what was different
about that route compared to the other routes I jog on. The
thing that was different was, it had a slight slope to it
and that was what caused the pain in my right knee. So I jogged
the opposite way the next time and now I alternate every time
I run.

If you have been out
of fitness for awhile, getting back into the fitness routine
is a slow process. Our bodies are not used to the work out
you are going to start doing. That is why we start out slow
and gradually increase your work outs as you begin to get
your body use to the routine. For everybody that is different.
Like I said before, our bodies are all different and everybody
responds different. Get a feel of how your first couple work
outs go and gradually add more from there. In no time you
will be surprised how fast your body responds to adding a
few more minutes to your work out. I found out that I feel
a lot better and have more energy when I work out.

One of my favorite work
outs is my Cross Country Ski Machine. Cross Country Ski Machines
gives you a variety of work outs. They come with different
settings for resistance to make it easy or hard. You can also
change the difficulty level of the ski machine. A lot of them
come with different inclines. I set mine at level 2 so I am
going up hill throughout my work out. Great for the hamstrings
and gluteus maximus which is a problem area for a lot of people.
So if you are one of those with not a lot of time, try the
Cross Country Ski Machine and you will watch the inches melt
away.
No. 1
A lot of my days in my
busy schedule I have only a little amount of time to get my
work out in. When that day comes along I work out on my Cross
Country Ski Machine. It is one work out that works everything
at one time and I get the most out of my work out. A lot of
people tell me that it is hard to use and get the coordination
down.
No. 2
Start out with just using
the skis and hold on to the pegs and not use your arms until
you get comfortable with that. Once you get that down start
with just one arm swinging at your side as you ski. When that
feels comfortable, hold on to the handles and start skiing.
It takes some time to get use to, but when you do it is like
riding a bike. You will find out that when you first start
using your ski machine that if you make it 5 minutes you are
doing good. But if you keep at it you will be up to 20 minutes
in no time. This is my favorite work out for someone with
not a lot of time. 20 minutes is that amount of time I go
on my ski machine and it doesn’t take up a lot of my day,
but I still get a great work out.

People don't think pets
and fitness go together. But have you looked around your neighborhood
lately? I bet almost on every block on a given time, someone
is walking a pet. I have talked to a lot of people and they
tell me that if it wasn't for their pets, they wouldn't get
any exercise at all. I have a dog named Gunner that went with
me whenever I went jogging. There were days I didn't really
want to go but if it wasn't for Gunner I wouldn't of. But
if Gunner did not get his exercise, he would be full of all
kinds of energy and would not sit still in the house. By taking
him out for a walk or run would settle him down and give me
the exercise I needed for the day. So if you need another
reason to exercise take your pet for a walk or run.
