Core strength is critical for a healthy back.

Planking in any of its variations should be included in every workout.

Discipline and consistency can be very boring, and at times may even feel ineffective.

But showing up, everyday, while giving your best, not only in fitness, but in everything you do in life is how we build a life of good health and abundance.

Whether we are going through a financial or emotional crisis, or we are in the best time of our lives, small consistent steps lead, eventually, to massive future results.

And the best time to start is.....today.

Get out and Get Fit!!

Here is another secret today that has me in the best shape of my life, in my 50s!  

You know I go hard with my workouts (intensity is key!). But here's the real game-changer: about a third of my training is pure Pilates-type exercises and stretching magic.

I'm talking high-intensity strength and cardio sessions followed by slow, controlled movements and deep stretches.

And honestly? This combo has been my literal back pain miracle. 17 years ago, I had major back surgery – disc replacement and fusion. And thanks to this routine, I'm fully recovered, and even healed another troubled disc without surgery!
 
So, what's the deal with Pilates? It's all about low-impact moves that build core strength, flexibility, and killer posture.
 
We're talking deep breaths and super focused movements that fire up your "powerhouse" – those deep abs, lower back, hips, and glutes. Basically, it builds strength from the inside out!

Check out a few exercises enclosed, some for beginners and some for more advanced enthusiasts. 

Go easy and slow and always listen to your body.

Remember, slow and steady wins the race. Focus on your form and breathe! Or, just hold those planks, and extended legs until you feel the burn.
 
Let's get out there, get fit, and have some fun with it!

Nueva fecha y más calorcito!

Hablaré sobre mi experiencia en el fitness y mundo corporativo, (hint, si es posible trabajar full time y estar fit), mi inspiracion para mis record Guinness, mi experiencia después de una operación mayor de espalda a los 40 años y mi fórmula única y personal de entrenamiento que me ha dado resultados extraordinarios a lo largo de los años y que me ha permitido estar en mi mejor forma en los 50s.

Seguiremos con una clase de fuerza y cardio en intervalos 4 x 4 con stretching para terminar. Solo necesitan traer su mat y botella de agua (es al aire libre!!)

Todo lo recaudado por el evento será a beneficio de la fundación Corazones of Courage que asiste a mujeres víctimas de abuso de genero.

Los espero!

Let’s talk about hip mobility—a game-changer for your fitness routine in 2025!

Hip mobility is one of the most overlooked yet essential components of physical fitness and aging well.

Your hips are the foundation of almost every movement your body makes—walking, running, squatting, bending, even just sitting.

When your hips are stiff or immobile, the rest of your body compensates, often leading to lower back pain, knee problems, and poor posture.

Here’s why hip mobility matters:

• Improved Range of Motion: Flexible hips allow for smoother, more efficient movement, reducing strain on surrounding joints and muscles.

• Injury Prevention: Tight hips create imbalances, forcing other parts of your body to take on extra stress. Mobility work helps prevent injuries, especially in the lower back and knees.

• Enhanced Athletic Performance: Whether you’re lifting weights, playing sports, or practicing martial arts, mobile hips provide the foundation for power, stability, and explosive movement.

• Aging Gracefully: Poor hip mobility is one of the top reasons people lose functional independence with age. Maintaining mobility ensures you stay active, pain-free, and vibrant for years to come.

Below are some of my favorite yoga poses to improve hip flexibility, mobility, and range of motion.

These exercises have been a cornerstone of my routine after every strength training session, and I can confidently say that my hip mobility and flexibility are better now than they were 30 years ago.

Take the challenge:

Commit to these poses daily—just 15 to 30 seconds on each side for each pose—and watch how your body transforms over the next year.

I promise you’ll feel like a whole new person!

TIP: To build muscle you need protein.

Here a guide to keep it simple: try to eat around 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight every day.

So, if you weigh 150 pounds, eat around 150 grams of NET protein per day.

Important to note that grams of protein doesn't mean the actual weight of the meat. Check the graph for approx net protein amount per 100 grams weight on each type of meat.

Every year, millions set fitness resolutions, but only a few make them last. Here’s how you can join that group and turn your goals into lifelong habits.

💪🏼Pro Tip: Think of fitness as self-care, not punishment.

When you focus on how great you feel after moving your body, staying consistent becomes second nature.

Ahh and remember, becoming fit and staying fit is a marathon not a sprint.

The secret is to start gradually so you don’t burn out, or worse, get injured, and also making sure you do an activity that you enjoy.

As you feel better, fitness and staying in shape will become part of your lifestyle.

Have a great 2025!

Last corporate session of the year with this Oil & Gas client.

Some of the participants were colleagues during my time working in the jungles of Africa, and Milan, where we managed to stay healthy and in shape in less than ideal conditions.

Great people and friends.

Ready for 2025!

If you don’t make your health a priority now, life will ensure it becomes your top priority later on.

Here is an insight if you think you are too old to push your limits. What makes you old is not your age, but your ability to function, move, stretch, and lift (Fun Fact: the oldest person to reach the Everest summit was 80 years + 223 days old, so almost 81!)

Exercising and common-sense nutrition are probably the easiest ways to help your body stay highly functional and healthy as we add years to our life.

And yes, in case you wonder, it is scientifically proven that your biological age can be 10 and even 20 years younger than your chronological age.

So, no excuses, Get Out and Get Fit!
