How can a habit change your mind

I use to hate to go to gym, to see it as a chore. Anyway, all this changed when i took a personal coach, and i start to train at high intensity. Before, in the gym, it was a kind of unfocused, lazy exercise, that i would do only in my comfortable limits. With a mentor, the situation change. I start to have very powerful trainings, that sometimes will leave me with no energy left, done at 105% intensity. I mean, at the moment I was completely exhausted, I would still have 1-2 series until the end. It was different, being kept accountable by somebody else, I achieved in 3 months more than in 10 years of know-it-all training. At home, using nothing else than my body. No fancy monthly payments, not gym, no sauna. no protein supplements. It was an interesting experience. More than that, becoming a habit, I used my total immersion to anticipate the challenge, to feel like a legend every time I would finish my training. I start to like it. I applied the same strategy with running. It is still work in progress, but it is working. If you can, learn from an expert, even if that mean to pay him for a month. It is worth it, in terms of performance. Believe me.

I hope i inspired you, see you soon!

One year plan "Pathway to excellence"

As a result of achieving the brilliant and extraordinary body fat percentage of 30% and 85 kg, i decided that it is time to make a change. I become proactive and i made a plan for one year, to became a better version of me.

What i decided to do:

1. Training
-one yoga session daily, with yoga postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama) and meditation
-high intensity training - meaning the one promoted by this website, 3 times per week, mainly for building strenght and stamina
-medium intensity training - which could be running, freerunning or parkour, martial arts (mainly Wing Chun)

2. Energy boosting - a clever use of supplements and exercise
-fasting - 24 hours once per week
-supplements - plants and herbs, aromatic oils, magnesium, omega 3/6 rich food, ginseng and bee pollen, cocoa, tea
-memory enhancing techniques - as i write a book about them, i found them useful to master it, for various reason (easy to learn, easy to remember stuff, easy remind lost memories - anamnesia)

3.Life enhancing strategies
-writing every day - books and blogs, poetry and text
-alkaline diet - 70%, plant based diet 70%, no chemicals, additives, sweeteners and such, minimum of sugar and last. I am also exploring the ketosis process (ketosis is sometimes referred to as the body's "fat burning" mode, using fats instead of sugars, on low card diet)
-proper hydration - 200ml every 2 hours.

This is what i got until now, i will review it every end of the month, so my first review is at the end of this month, as i am in the day 23 of my plan.
