6 STEPS to succeed by NUNO COBRA


Nuno was the personal trainer of Ayrton Senna for ten years, 
he also coached Mika Hakkinen, Rubens Barrichello, Gil de Ferran and Christian Fittipaldi, among others, from professional athletes to business men, like Abilio Diniz (Pedro's father).  
I read the book in the past when I was still in university, and although I decide to share some of his advices, I have already incorporated some of the practices into my daily life. They're only small things, little changes in our routine/practices. Simple changes can make a big difference in your life and your results. 


1. Our brain is "dummy". Tell him the right things and he will believe. 

2. The sleeping time is the basis of human life. 8 hours/day is the min (from around 23:00 to 7:00). During the "deep" sleep our body produces the complex hormons and substances. Sleep less and your body will suffer.

3. Eating habits: drink a full glass of water first thing in the morning, before breakfast.Then drink 2-3 liters/day. Choose a quiet place to eat. If you have time, rest for a few mins before eating lunch. Smell the food, chew slowly, and don't go without eating something each 3-3 hours. And of course, eat healthy stuff, specially fish. 

4. Working out: If you don't work out, start slowly. really slowly. painfully slowly. Walk for months before jogging, jog for months before running. Develop your heart before working your muscles. Use your own body weight for lifting or use free weights, avoid machines that do some of the work for you.

5. Reserve a few mins every day to meditate. Find a silent place, think good stuff, breathe. 

6. Believe, you can!!!
