❤️Learning to Learn: Mindfulness
I am a certified in many types of wellness: Mindful Wellness Coach, Yoga Teacher, Pranayama Breathing Instructor, and Tai Chi Chuan Practictioner. Furthermore, I practice Mindful Samurai Walking.
I am going to introduce how to do weight training in a mindful manner. Always do some warm up before, and the key element to keep in mind is breathing deeply and slowly . . . or Pranayama exercises.

❤️Shaolin Deep Breathing: Go Slow
Remember, a Yoga master brought these forms to the Shaolin Temple in China. Choose a variety of weights and never use heavy weights.
COUNT SLOWLY

Move like a snake or in a sense the way you stretch. I was a gymnast in high school, and so I move differently, and I have worked on yoga since I was a kid.
The key is to count to eight as you pull or push and eight as you relax. Breathe in slowly and then breathe out slowly.Perform three sets of 8–10 repetitions.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Warm Up: About 10 minutes
As you warm up, practice breathing to the count of eight (1–2–3–4–5–6–7–8) in and out. Each breathing cycle is eight seconds. Pause between for about 2 seconds with no breathing.
. . . 1–2–3–4–5–6–7–8. . . . . . .
. . . . . . . 1–2–3–4–5–6–7–8. . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . .1–2–3–4–5–6–7–8 . . . . . . . .
Focus on the breath, and try not to think. However, if you think, it is okay. Count slowly as you breath. This is mindful meditation in the gym with weights.

❤️Ready to Start > > Dumbbell Overhead Presses
- Relax your body and take a deep breath in slowly to the count of eight, (1–2–3–4–5–6–7–8) and be sure to think of something positive. . . .
- Slowly push the weight up overhead to the count of eight in one continuous long breath out (1–2–3–4–5–6–7–8).
- Pause just for a mindful moment and perhaps say to yourself to release negativity: “Let It Go.” “Let It Go.” “Let It Go.”
. . Let it go. . .
. . . Let it go. . .
. . . . . Let it go. . .
- Now slowly allow the dumbbell to come down to the count of eight and breathe in (1–2–3–4–5–6–7–8), on continous long breath.
Do three sets of eight. It is okay if you cannot count to eight for on long breath. You may have to build up. Some can do one continuous breath to the count of 15. They are Shaolin.WOW.
This way of exercising may seem easy, but it is not if you do it for a least 25 minutes and to the count of eight.I find my muscles are tense and in pain.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤️Cool Down: Calm Down
After completing 25 minutes, perform a cool down for about 10 to 15 minutes. Again try breathing to the count of eight slowly: (1–2–3–4–5–6–7–8). You can visualize positive things as you cool down.
Drink some water, coconut water or something. Always try to relax. Never feel pain. If it hurts, stop.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤️Journal Work out: Variation, Variation, Variation
In a gym, there are different types of weights and exercise equipments. You want to exercise different parts of the body. Never pull a muscle. Always use light weights.
Go with the Flow > > >

Keep a journal of what you did. Do this about 3 times a week and take a break and repeat. Allow the body to heal.
