There was lots of drama in the gym today. MTV was shooting a comedians reality show. See what you have to endure if you live in Southern California. There was even a great big bulletin posted on the gym entrance stating anyone entering the gym could possibly be on television. Therefore, train at your own risk. Too much drama for me! nbsp;Lately, I have noticed one troubling issue in the gym. People are completely unfocused, and only getting a small percentage of the results they could be getting, in half the time. They walk around wondering what is coming next. They don't seem to have a purpose. Their intensity is far below the level to achieve sizable results. It is sad because they are not getting maximum results for the time they are investing in the gym. Why? There are a lot of reasons, some of which I touch upon in the audio below. After witnessing this trend, I felt I needed to address this in my next audio. After all, I don't want a Wellness Word subscriber walking around lost in the gym. I want you to have focus, desire, and purpose.

Back Fromnbsp;Thenbsp;110 Degree Las Vegas R #38; R After cranking hard for 6 months straight my wife, Rachel, and I (no 20 month Kylie) decided to jump in the car and headnbsp;for Vegas. As I was driving I was wondering what happened to the $1.89 gas? Those daysnbsp;are long gone, probably in our lifetime. However, when on a little mini-vacation you really don't want to worry about gas prices. Therefore, we didn't. However, I did notice Nevada was 40 cents cheaper than Los Angeles. It figures! Overall, Vegas was steaming hot at 110 degrees. Thank goodness for Hoover Dam being able to keep Vegas cool. Can you image if the whole city lost power. Yikes! We had a fantastic time getting away for our 3rd wedding anniversary! Hey, I even worked out every morning. I guess I had to after consuming thousands of calories. Food is everywhere!

Wellness Word Fitness Question Of The Week Q - My 14 year old son is petite; just 5 feet and 89 pounds (maybe).nbsp; Are there safe protein drinks for his age group that may help him to put some bulk on?nbsp; His sport is baseball and on 3 teams right now and always playing basketball in our driveway so he is very active.nbsp; Do you have any suggestions? A - It seems like your son is very active. That is good. However, it appears he is challenged by a fast metabolism, and high activity level. Since he is only 14, I wouldn't rely on protein drinks to gain weight, but food. Your son needs to eat a balanced diet of all the basic food groups. I would make sure he gets a snack or two each day, preferably after his physical activity. Ask him what type of foods he likes, and encourage him to not miss meals, and snacks. Increase his calories through food. There is no magic in protein drinks. ------------------------------------------------------------- If you would like to ask a fitness, or bodybuilding related question post them here http://www.askjimoconnor.com . ------------------------------------------------------------- If you are not receiving yournbsp;FREE subscription ...
