Health And The Vaccine

As always, we at IM5 put it out there for you to make a conscious decision of what you want and what you do not want to do as an individual. First, lets just say that the vaccine and physical body health is one in the same weather you want too acknowledge that or not, your choice. The IM5 family focuses on the the body and health, let me just say on this subject of vaccination or no vaccination. We as human beings spend a lifetime of putting shit!!! into our bodies, some more or less than others. Just to clarify, shit is a detox discharge of the body. We smoke, we do Vap’s when the surgeon general puts a warning sticker on the package stating this can kill you. We take steroids which in the long term we know will kill you, and not to mention about alcohol too and the fucked up food we put into our bodies over a lifetime which has a part in determining your bodies longevity in the end. But you have a problem with a vaccine that will stop you from dyeing and protect others around you. REALLY!!! Until next time stay healthy and give 100% and stay at your best.

Vaccine Controversy

Lets talk vaccine, Now here at IM/5Fitness we acknowledge each and every individuals right to exercise their personal decisions. We are here to just give you optional thought and leave the rest to you. Her at IM/5Fitness, our specialty is fitness and we try not to veer from that although it gets tempting. No one regardless of race deserves to be shot down in the streets, it’s an equality, decency and morality issue. Back to what we do, the vaccine issue is definitely a health issue as well. Lets face that facts, as a country we have reacted to the virus in a poor way and in a very selfish way, that’s just the truth. We have minorities that question the vaccine with understandability but not knowing that minorities helped create it. Then we have other factions that do not want to take it also understandable. But as a country we need to get to herd immunity if for nothing else but to insure that the virus does not mutate and start effecting our kids, god forbid. So if you don’t consider taking it or will not take it, do it for the sake of your kids, no one wants to see our children go through what we have been through in the past year.   

Lets Have a Serious Conversation About Physical Health And Mental Well Being

One surmises Physical health and fitness as something that you get out and do or make effort to do that enhances your physical inner and outer appearance. But what we need to talk about is what enables each individual to have the opportunity to achieve it.

You have a job which affords you to have shelter which in turn puts you mentally at a certain ease. Your job in turn pays your bills which also gives you a certain mental relief. All this along with more puts you in a position to be able to use a certain amount of your time and effort to focus on your physical health. All the above is just another factor of the protests that are going on, for the right to to be able to be in a position to be able to have time to focus on physical health. This in turn allows you for mental well being, which everyone regardless of nationality has the right to be able to afford for them selves. For too long African Americans have not been given that right though out the system.

Covid Exposure

First of all our IM\5Fitness family would like to express our per found condolences to all the effected individuals and all the effected families world wide that have loved one’s that have past away due to the virus. We know here at IM5 that this is a trying time for all people on the earth and it is really a god and you time. We would just like for you too allow us to be in your life….. and tell us what you want at this time. But as you know everything takes a back seat to life right now.

We are still here for your questions and answers and we will, as always try to answer them the best of our ability.

The Covid Fitness Journey

It seems these days that everything around us is being tested. From our democracy and the way and how we live, our personalities and the way we react and communicate with each other on a daily basis. There is only once or just maybe twice in your lifetime that you reach moments that will not only define your here and now, but will also shape your future for decades to come. It seems like as humane beings, we are definitely at that point, so choose wisely.

The same can be said for your fitness. Mentally you have to be ready to take on the challenge ahead of you. Fitness wise this will probably be the toughest challenge that you will ever face. Not doing anything is physically and mentally neglect and may put you in a position that you may never be able to recover from. It’s not hard to see the effects of Covid on the majority of the population, more and more weight gain. You know the old saying ” If you don’t stand for something then you will die for anything. This time period that we are in can and will set your future in stone for the next twenty years. Physically and mentally push through with your fitness goals. Get creative and innovative to get through this time. The one thing that Covid has taught us is that the physically fit make it through it and god bless to everyone and wear a mask and be safe, from the IM/5Fitness family.

How To Mentally And Physically Prepare For Weight Loss

There is a difference that needs to be addressed when it comes to loosing weight. There is a big difference between just eating and eating because you are hungry and consuming more than your body needs to function and be healthy. We have put together some things that we think every person needs to keep in mind and you can incorporate for your journey.

Be Accountable

Track your progress but don’t get obsessive, weigh yourself every week and monitor your eating habits, how you eat and when you eat, learn your body and what works for you.

Create a Meal Plan That Fits You Not Someone else

only you know your eating habits, what triggers your body and where it goes. You know where you want to get too and how you want it to look. The key is what it is going to take to get there and realistically knowing your body is half the battle. Set reasonable perimeters that you know are achievable for the short term. This will help you to get to your long term goal and be successful.

Remember Be Patient

Mentally it is not easy when it comes to loosing weight, just remember no one is perfect and it is totally OK to loose your way at times. The consistency as much as possible is the key, just remember, anything done for a thirty day period becomes a habit. Always visualize your commitment and goals, trying three times, maybe, but consistently trying on an everyday basis means results that you can see and be proud of.
