Physical Workout of the Day:

My Rounds = 5 + 15 Jumping Lunges

Shauna’s Rounds = 4 + 14 Push-Ups

Mental Workout of the Day:

LOVE Meditation

Today’s process will be a practice in loving yourself. Start with your heart on your eyes closed in a comfortable seated position. This is simply because you want to be awake for the majority of this meditation and lying may cause you to fall asleep.

Place your right hand over the center of your chest where your heart is located. Place your left palm facing upward, resting on your lap. Close your eyes and feel the breath move down into your belly as you inhale. As you exhale, feel the belly fall and the rib cage simply depress. After 5-10 breaths, take your attention to where your right hand is on your heart. Focus on the warmth you feel between your hand and your chest. This is going to be your place of focus for the remainder of the meditation.

As you breath, feel the connection between your hand and heart. Affirm to yourself, “my heart is the core of my physical body and the reminder of who I am and why I am here.” This will remain your affirmation. Go as deeply as you wish with this meditation, allowing your hand to almost feel as if it is on fire with the love expressed from your heart. You can remove your hand as soon as you feel that you are finished, do not put a time limit on this meditation, it could be 2 minutes, it could be 20…just go with it. ❤

Physical Workout of the Day:

This workout is done just as the song is sung. On the first day of christmas my true love gave to me 1 40 meter sprint. On the second day of christmas my true love gave to me 2 push presses and 1 40 meter sprint. This workout will continue as such. In total you will have completed 12 rounds and the final round will consist of every exercise listed.

Shauna’s Time = 24:20 (65 lbs, 30 lb KB, 10 lb ball)

My Time = 27:33 (95 lbs, 50 lb KB, 18 lb ball)

Mental Workout of the Day:

Gratitude Meditation

For today’s workout we will start by setting a timer for 15 minutes and finding a comfortable sitting position. Place your hands on your lap with your palms facing upward and close your eyes. Gently, take your awareness to the movement of your breath in and out of your nose. Do not force the breath, but rather let the breath be and let it move you. As you breathe in you will say silently to yourself, “I AM,” and as you breathe out silently say to yourself, “grateful.” Do your best to maintain this mantra for the entirety of the meditation. If thoughts come into your awareness, recognize them and then return your focus to the mantra. You may even begin to change the words and begin replacing “grateful” which is completely okay and a natural process of the meditation.

My Rounds = 6 + 1 K2E (24 inch box)

Shauna’s Rounds = 6 + 6 BBJ (18 inch box)

Spiritual Workout of the Day:

Mantra Meditation

Today’s workout is for aligning with a single pointed mindset through our meditation. The 3 mantras to choose from during this meditation will be “I AM,” “I am Love,” or “I am protected.” For this meditation find a comfortable sitting position or lying position. Set a timer for 15-20 minutes and start it. Uncross all of your limbs and close you eyes. Bring your awareness to your breath and begin feeling the rise and fall of your abdomen, breathing in and out through your nose. Your focus for the first few minutes will be on allowing your breath to move from your chest and into your abdomen. Do not control the depth or speed of your breath, allow it to be, yet simply guide its movement from the chest and move it into the belly. Once the breath has moved into the belly you will begin your mantra. For the first mantra, as you inhale you will say “I” and as you exhale saying “AM.” For the second and/or third mantra, as you inhale you will say ” I am” and as you exhale you will say “Love/protected” depending on which mantra you choose is right for you today. Continue with that pattern until your timer goes off.

 Inspirational quotes, life coach reno nv, Zach Tavcar

Daily Affirmation:

“You have the ability to change your life. You have the ability to change the world. This ability comes from your ability to allow. to allow Love to be your dominant intent. To allow Source to move through you. to allow all the blessings waiting for you to move into your experience. For when you are connected you thrive and those around you thrive.”

Ecstatic Dancing…

Ecstatic dancing is a mindfulness meditation. Put on your 3 favorite songs, close your eyes, and dance. Move your body with the rhythms of the music. Don’t worry about what is happening, just allow your body to move as the music infuses the cells of your body. You can do anything you want, no one will be in the room other than you. All you have to allow yourself to do is move and feel free. When the 3 songs are done just stand and feel your feet connected to the ground. Feel the energy of your body connecting you with the energy of the earth, Gaia. Stand there and feel the support of your Mother as long as you like and then you are finished with today’s workout.

Heart Breathing…

This is a simply heart meditation/breathing technique which enables you to ground yourself and consciously connect to your heart and intuition.

Start by finding a comfortable sitting position. Close your eyes and place your right hand over your heart. Keeping your mouth gently closed begin breathing in and out through your nose. Allow your breathing to naturally move into your belly, feeling your belly expand as you inhale and relax as you exhale. Once you feel your abdomen moving with your breath, focus your awareness on your heart. Begin to feel your heart breathing you. Feel your heart expand as you inhale and relax as you exhale. Maintain your awareness on your heart, expanding and contracting with each breath. Continue as long as you would like with this meditation, but at least 5 minutes.

Physical Workout of the Day:

  • Every Minute on the Minute for 10 minutes of:

Set a timer for 10 minutes and have it beep on every minute interval. Complete the 11 burpees within each minute and rest the remainder of each minute. If you are unable to complete any one of the minute rounds, the penalty will be 25 squats per missed round. If you would like to scale this workout, choose a number of burpees that you can complete within one minute with less than 30 seconds of rest. Choose a number of no less than 7 burpees.

Mental Workout of the Day:

Sing & Jump…

Today’s mental workout is for the releasing of any stagnant energy. Turn on your favorite song, or favorite song at the moment, and sing your heart out! There is a reason they say to sing your heart out and that is because in the expression of your creative energy you are aligning with your heart. You are unifying the creative energies of the mind, body, and soul and giving the gift of expressing them out into the ethers, even if it happens in your own room. As you sing I want you to jump around and dance. Shake all the stuck energy out of your body and just let it all out! If you feel that you’re acting silly, good! You should act as is appropriate to you! Today is just about letting go, and that will happen through the expression of song and dance! ❤

 Inspirational quotes, life coaching reno nv, personal training reno nv, Zach Tavcar, www.zachtavcar.com

Daily Affirmation:

“There will be times in your life when you are fearful. When you accept that fear is a signal that you are not in alignment with your Spirit, you have then taken back your power. You can then direct your thoughts which bring forth feelings of love. Then you will know you are the creator of your own experience.”

You can see yesterday’s workout for a wonderful process to help ease your vibration into a state of allowing the well-being that is natural to you by looking for things to be grateful for 🙂

Mental Workout of the Day:

100 Things I’m Grateful For…

Today’s process is strictly to help raise our vibrational rate so that we can allow the flow of love and appreciation to dominate our cells and allow the law of attraction to bring us more things to be grateful for, and to begin to restructure the neuron cross-bridges in our brain.

Get out a piece of paper and expect to do this process for roughly 10-20 minute. At the top of the page write, “100 Things I’m Grateful For…” and begin. You don’t have to be elaborate with what you’re grateful for but do your best to specific, such as “My ability to move my body and exercise,” rather than just “health” or “exercise.” Write until you have your 100 things to be grateful for. If you just can’t think of things to be grateful for, write as many as you can and then come back to it later in the day. This process moves your attention toward points of gratitude, and by the law of attraction, this will bring other thoughts similar to it into your awareness. Also, this will soften our vibration so that we open the door to the things we have been waiting for, and that the Almighty has been pushing into our experience.

Daily Affirmation:

“Find God within your Self…know the Kingdom of Heaven as your very being…herein you are free.”

Mental Workout of the Day:

3 Acts of Random Kindness…

Today’s process is to do 3 random things which benefit others. Acts of random kindness help bring energy, chi, prana back into our body systems. By giving freely to others we receive 10 fold from the universe as a whole.

These acts do not have to be outlandish, they can be as simple as opening the door for a stranger, complimenting someone on their eyes, or handing someone a pretty hand-picked flower. This process should simply be a way of getting out of our own way and helping uplift someone else in a genuine way.

 Inspiratinal quote, best life coach reno nv, best personal trainer reno nv, zach tavcar

Daily Affirmation:

“Sometimes it’s hard to face our past hurts and wounds. But I believe the Presence that guides us will always be there to heal us, if we are strong enough to be vulnerable.”

“Wouldn’t It Be Nice If…” Game

Today’s mental workout will be focused on playing the “wouldn’t it be nice if…” game. Set a timer for 10 minutes and close your eyes. Say to your self, “Wouldn’t it be nice if…” and finish the sentence with what it is you are desiring. Play this as if you are imagining all the possibilities you have ever desired. Start with the things that you don’t have a lot of resistance against, such as “Wouldn’t it be nice if someone told me I had a nice smile.” Things that really you don’t have a lot of resistance against. As you do this, really feel what it would be like to have someone tell you that you have a nice smile. After you have begun to feel more uplifted move on to the things that you are REALLY desiring. You could say, “Wouldn’t it be nice if I met the perfect partner for me and had a nice conversation with them.” As you play this, remember that it is key to FEEL the feeling of being in the situation, experiencing what it is like to be in actual circumstance. Continue playing this until you are truly feeling better or until the timer goes off.

Mental Workout of the Day:

Alternate Nostril Breathing

Alternate nostril breathing is a great way to balance the mind and body. Personally, as a result of doing 5-8 minutes per day of alternate nostril breathing, I feel I have more balance mentally and am much more calm throughout the day.

Today’s workout will be to do 9-20 cycles of alternate nostril breathing followed by 5-10 minutes of meditation. One cycle is as follows:

  1. Sit comfortably, preferably with the spine upright, either in a chair or in a cross-legged position.
  2. Place the right index and middle finger between the eyebrows, while the left hand faces upward resting on your thigh.
  3. Press the right thumb down on the right nostril and exhale though the left nostril.
  4. Inhale through the left nostril and then press the right ring finger on the left nostril exhaling through the right nostril.
  5. Inhale through the right nostril, then pressing the thumb against the right nostril exhaling through the left nostril.
  6. You have completed one cycle of alternate nostril breathing.

Remember that the breaths should be natural and not forced. After you have completed as many rounds as you feel comfortable with, sit in meditation for 5-10 minutes.

“You are united with the origins of life. The Spirit that fills every molecule is the Presence which you truly are. There is no exclusion, there is only inclusion.”
