Mentally Tired vs. Physically Tired

Winter = cold = achy = miserable = not training!

When you wake up from a long nights rest, and it feels like a 20 minute cat nap it just means you are like the rest of us! No one hears an alarm, pops up with a smile and goes with their day... There is that moment of 'do I hit the snooze', 'it's morning already?', and 'I don't want to get up yet'! 

In the midst of cold/flu season and heavy snowfall, it is almost impossible to tell if your body is sore, hurt, or sick! The easy way to handle this is to do NOTHING! But who gets better doing nothing? NO ONE!

When you are mentally tired, it is easy to conceive that your body needs rest and to skip training. Unfortunately your body does not agree, if you take days off your overall health steadily declines rather than  improve! 

So, what should one do? 

If you are physically tired, one workout will prove that your body needs rest!

However, if you are mentally tired..... One workout will prove that it was all in your head. The buzz that comes from training, the over feeling of well being, the mental fatigue, all a thing of the past! 

What does this prove to us? Training provides positives not only for your mood, but high functioning/performance of energy systems in the body! Not to mention continuing to train will further elevate your chances of success in sport!
Never skip a day!

It is time for Nicola Performance Training to become a household name! To become a movement for inspiration and success! It starts with an idea, and quickly burns itself to action! Don't waste one second on your dreams, attack them because no one will hand them to you!

These Hands - Part 2

'Tuff Hands' are frowned upon, but everyone must realize that these same hands that people do not like are earned through blood, sweat, tears, and sacrifice! Hands do not come standard at birth, those hardened an callused palms are a result of HARD WORK!
 When meeting someone with hard hands you should ask them a question or two because you might learn something from them. These hands built the skyscrapers, the bridges, the roads, and the railways you use every day! These hands are the only thing that make us the superior race (on land) and these hands will continue to work for us! Today we make a salute to hands! Without them...... We would be elephants!
