Uplevel Your Massage
What do you and elite athletes have in common? You both need to build familiarity with being relaxed, and build awareness to be able to tap into the feeling of being relaxed. You should be getting massages more often; to spend time being relaxed – benefits your nervous system and thought patterns build familiarity with being relaxed – so you can be more relaxed more often by choice. Improve blood flow to low flow areas. Increased oxygen and efficient energy. Uplevel your massage ; Become more aware and in control of your tension/relaxed states. Become more present with ‘no expectations’ of pain/discomfort. Uplevel your ability to control your perception with each tight spot touched. Every time you overcome the tension and overcome the expectation of tension, you are increasing your brains ability to control your perception of everything you experience. Build awareness in the present – be aware of the connection between mind and body, and the change that occurs when you quiet your mind. An integral part of becoming a better, healthier higher performing human is building the awareness of your mind and body, when they are connected as one. If you would like coaching to build this awareness and all other aspects of preventing injury, improving energy, losing weight, breaking performance limits, then contact Pete or Jaimielle. email Hello@liveyourownfit.com Find out more about LYF Performance here https://liveyourownfithealthandperformance.practicebetter.io/#/5ea248732a9c240a8cf8de6c/bookings?step=services

Carbohydrate | Pros & Cons
The main point to remember throughout this podcast is that everyone has a different level of aerobic capacity, and everyday one individual can have a better/worse aerobic capacity [tolerance to carbohydrates]. Everyone is different to everyone else, and everyone is potentially different to themselves each day also. I give a few examples that might help you solve an issue you’ve had, but if it does not make sense I can explain it personally to you so you can get the aerobic benefits of having increased oxygen all the time for better recovery, performance , less aches, more energy all day, lower health risks, less excess weight and so many other potential improved symptoms. If you want to feel better, contact me here and set up an consultation for health and fitness gains https://liveyourownfithealthandperformance.practicebetter.io/#/5ea248732a9c240a8cf8de6c/bookings?step=services   Carbohydrates CONS Carbohydrates are not essential. Carbohydrates replace more nutrient dense foods. Carbohydrates can lower your aerobic energy production more than other macronutrients. PROS Carbohydrates can increase perception of energy during exercise. — Perception of energy – – feeling safe – state of growth – happy hormones – -relaxed – efficient. Carbohydrates can assist in performance through energy production during exercise.   1 . What problem are you trying to solve?   During exercise?   Improve health? i.e. low aerobic capacity & nutrient deficiencies?       How much can you handle depends on how aerobic you are?     Have you ever not taken carbs during a race because of fear, or out of spite or dogmatism? Listen here to learn how to approach life and carbs with a more rational thinking process.

How to Run Slow to Run Fast
Stop wasting your time running without knowing exactly how to improve. If your running still needs improvement after listening to this episode [and to my previous podcast on technique linked below], then it is time to send me your run video and have a talk about it 🙂 It could be your aerobic capacity, or technique, or tension, and I’ve got a million ways to approach how to improve your running performance and enjoyment. Contact me @petejjacobs through social media, or through www.liveyourownfit.com https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/live-your-own-fit-lyf-performance/id1403266236?i=1000459088848   Running slower – it’s harder technically, and easier to relax mentally and physically. You want to improve your running speed at the same effort, or you want to be able to run longer with less fatigue. You also want running to FEEL better mentally. If you cant run slow efficiently and relaxed, then you are limiting your running ability. Running slow with efficiency is not easy, it takes a lot of focus Running at your default pace and HR and tension physically and mentally is damaging. Running slow TRAINS you to release tension during running, to become more aware, relaxed, and in that state it is EASIER to improve technique. Observations from running with a client – runs with tension, swings arms low, default pace, cant run slow with same technique. Look at the African Elite runners in their EASY runs. See the link below they are joking, running 5-6min /km, or 9min/mile, and SSOOOO relaxed. https://youtu.be/-4etokKIcvQ?t=13   And then look at the best marathoners racing, they are also incredibly relaxed and efficient. In this video you can see Cherono looking the most efficient, with hands up high, a relaxed thoracic region twisting, relaxed face, etc. and he goes on to win by bringing in power with a bigger arm swing in the final 200m’s. https://youtu.be/w5RmIyDKElw?t=379   If you are tense running slow, of course you could never run at a high output without tension. Practice running slow. Really Slow. Really relaxed. PJ

Training a Competitive Mindset
If you only train in a certain way, with a particular mindset to practice being “present, calm and confident” does that mean you will find it hard to do anything but that same response in competition? In this episode I talk about the benefits of using my approach to training your mind and body to connect at high levels of power, efficiency, performance, and why this approach is best for most people. And the flip side to this conversation is how you can then still tap into the aggressive or adrenaline response of “fighting” in competition when needed. Key points are a trigger phrase I use and recommend – “No effort, just movement” Increasing your level of mental and physical thresholds require a very controlled approach You can’t train out your instincts and stress responses when you change your story, you will respond as per your story This is a quick recap of some conversations with clients, but the pathway to understanding and implementing the benefits and further understanding the techniques and bigger picture is much broader and longer. Take the journey with me, I will help you understand performance and health like you never thought possible, but only if you dare 😁. That’s what the discovery call is for, to see if we align. www.liveyourownfit.com

Aerobic Health & Performance | How To Improve It?
If you have ever done ANYTHING to follow lifestyle improvements, breathing or mindset techniques, ANYTHING that is considered a healthier choice (by me haha) you are unknowingly doing something to either increase oxygen levels in the cell, or at least doing something that reduces oxygen levels by the least. Your poor lifestyle and habits are lowering your cellular oxygen. Low oxygen levels create a more ANAEROBIC environment in your mitochondria, where energy production occurs. The worst thing for health, for all living things on earth, is chronic low levels of oxygen. Aerobic is Health | Anaerobic is increased stress products, poor health, & inefficient energy. Oxygen is Key to Life Inflammation lowers cellular oxygen Stress lowers cellular oxygen   Very brief anaerobic exercise can be good (for some), but I’m talking about long term aerobic or anaerobic environments.   If you want to feel better, get fitter, be healthier, or perform better in everything you do, you need more oxygen in your cells. I let you know how I got ‘fitter’ without even exercising. I explain deeper theories around aerobic and MAF exercise, and how breathing rate is more important than heart rate.   1 Breathing influences cellular oxygen 2 inflammation lowers cellular oxygen 3 Oxidative stress lowers cellular oxygen 4 Stress lowers cellular oxygen   All life on earth needs oxygen. At the top of everything your lifestyle habits are trying to change/improve, they are all under the category of “ways to increase oxygen in your cells and mitochondria”
