Fitness refers to your heart, and the harder you exercise, the more fit you become. But every time you exercise vigorously your muscles are injured, and the harder you exercise, the longer it takes for your muscles to heal. Muscle biopsies done the day after a person exercises vigorously show bleeding into the muscles and disruption of the Z-bands that hold muscle filaments together. You are not supposed to exercise vigorously again until the muscle soreness disappears.

Most competitive athletes set up training programs so they exercise vigorously enough on one day to make their muscles feel sore for the next day or two and then after the soreness disappears, they exercise vigorously again. You can use the same

principle in your exercise program to achieve a higher level of fitness. You can exercise vigorously on one day and easy on the next few days or until the soreness disappears, OR you can train in two or three sports. This is called cross-training, and it can make you very fit and help to prevent injuries.

My name is Greg Ryan. For the last twenty years I have counseled thousands of personal trainers, fitness directors and gym owners on how be successful in the health and fitness industry. No matter where I go in the world, no matter the size of the gym the biggest reason for their lack of success is all the same.

self employed and make a six figure income consistently. Here is how:

Even the guys who play golf for a living and get the best golf instruction in the world still struggle to improve their golf swing and they practice each and every day. When your golf swing is off and you’re playing golf badly it isn’t a lot of fun, but you can change it if you apply yourself. Golf is a difficult game to master and most golfers just don’t have the time it takes to practice, practice, and practice to significantly improve it.

Golf requires tough mental fitness as well as physical fitness and this is often overlooked. Keep the good positive energy flowing and don’t give in to any negative thoughts. On the golf course focus or

concentrate totally on your swing and you’ll get the best score. Don’t let unrelated thoughts slip in. Say to yourself ‘be here now’ to stay focused. As you swing, visualize exactly where you want the ball to land.

Whitesands hotel in Mombasa Kenya

Accommodating up to 700 people, this is the largest resort hotel on the Kenyan Coast. This low-rise complex is widely spread out on well maintained and spacious grounds. There is a clean and exotic flavor to white sands-yards of cool white marble, rows of arches and a wonderful use of water. Public areas seem to float on aquatic gardens, bridges cross meandering swimming pools, and birds dip into lily ponds, shattering arabesque reflections.
There is an attractive beach wide front with lawns and tall palms. Many of the rooms overlook the ocean and the beach.
