Seyi Ajirotutu On Why He Lives The BodyFly Lifestyle

Seyi Ajirotutu On Why He Lives BodyFly

Hello, my name is Seyi Ajirotutu and I’ve been a part of BodyFly for 4 years. I’m a 6 year NFL veteran playing the position of wide receiver. What BodyFly means to me is nutrition and knowing your body.

In the NFL not every player eats right. Most guys do and they know it’s important. When you have a good physique you don’t have to eat that well, you can lean off of your athleticism. However, there are a lot of players and stories where they can’t lean off of their athleticism and they have to be strict on their diet.

For myself, I’m 28 going on 29 years old and it’s all about nutrition and my daily regimen. It’s the additional one percent, the extra attention to detail I invest in myself that sets me apart from the rest.

Back when I was 23 years old, I didn’t really have to eat as well as I do now. I was able to rely on my youth and athleticism but as you get older, it changes a little bit. Also, as you get older you become wiser and learn what works for you and what works for you is the best thing for you.

I’m a clean eater and when I eat poorly I don’t feel the same and my body doesn’t function the same. If you give a Ferrari unleaded fuel it’s not going to run the same as when you give it that super unleaded 91 premium which it needs.

Treat your body as a Ferrari because if you treat it like a taxi cab, you’re going to get taxi cab results. And that’s not what we are aiming for with the BodyFly lifestyle.

Tupac Shakur said it best, “if we change the way we eat, if we change the way we live, and we learn to change the way we treat each other, this world would be a better place”. That to me is what the BodyFly lifestyle resembles.

Nutrition is huge, it’s big, if it wasn’t big, I wouldn’t be talking to you right now. I want you all to stay present, stay hydrated and most of all, StayFly!

How To Do A Chair Dip Exercise Properly

Learn How To Do A Chair Dip Exercise Properly By Watching This Video

So today I’m going to show you how to do a chair dip exercise properly right from the comfort of your office. First you need to grab a stationary chair. You don’t want a chair with wheels or anything that can slide out from underneath you.

Let’s get started, for beginner dips, keep your knees bent and feet flat on the ground. Inch your way to the edge of the chair with your hands near your glutes. Bring your shoulders back and stick your chest out and scoot yourself to the edge of your chair and then drop down into your dip.

Then, you want to drive up and while doing so flex and concentrate on your tricep keeping your head up. Go ahead and do multiple reps and get as many as you can, do 3 sets of as many reps as you can pump out.

For you intermediate fitness fans, go ahead and extend your legs all the way and repeat the exact same process keeping good form throughout. This increases the intensity just a little more and gives more of a burn. And, for the advanced workout people, go ahead and elevate your feet, even putting them on your desk and repeat the same process.

Remember, self-work increases self-worth, stay hydrated, stay present and always remember StayFly!

Learn The Correct Way To Do A Push Up

Thanks for coming back FlyFam, today you are going to learn the correct way to do a push up. 

We are going to be working on the floor doing proper pushups so go ahead and grab yourself a comfortable mat.

For all the beginners out there who aren’t familiar with how to do a proper push up let’s start with the basics and doing them from our knees. Go into a planking position with your knees on the mat and as close together as possible. Your hands should be directly under your shoulders and shoulder width apart.

Next, elevate your feet and with your back straight, lower your body to the mat. Bend at the elbows and lower your body all the way until your chest comes within inches of the mat and rise back up. 

Repeat those pushups for as many as you can or at least 10 repetitions and do 3 total sets.

Now, for a more advanced pushup, get into an extended plank position with your feet close together. Your hands should be shoulder width apart and lower your body to as close to the mat as possible without laying on it so you get that stretch in your chest and drive it back up focusing on your tricep.

Do 10 repetitions or as many as you can do to start and do 3 sets. Progressively build on the number of repetitions and sets you can do each time on push up day.

How To Do Squats Correctly Without Weights

Hey FlyFam, it's Drei and today, I'm going to teach you how to do squats correctly without weights. 

So, today is leg day and it's about squats and having the appropriate form. This tutorial on squats was designed for newbies that need to know out about appropriate form to avoid potential injuries.

So, get yourself a chair and we are going to do some lightweight squats today. The chair will help keep your thighs parallel to the ground. We should keep our knees at a 90 degree angle as well as go no further to avoid any type of potential injuries.

Your feet positioning is vital in doing squats with proper form. You need your feet straight under your hips and shoulder width apart. Now, to do a correct squat you should see to it that your knees do not head out past your toes, that's crucial as you want to protect against unnecessary injuries.

With our hands out before us, sink into a bodyweight squat and go all the way down until your butt touches the chair and then come right back up. Repeat this for 10-15 reps and do 3-4 sets.

Remember, self-work increases self-worth, remain hydrated, stay present as well as always, stayfly.

Best Shoulder Workout Routine For Beginners

This Is the best shoulder workout routine for beginners

Today we’re going to do some light shoulder exercises. Specifically, we’re going to do some upright rows, shoulder presses and lateral and front rows. 

If you don’t have any weights at home, no problem, you can use something as simple as your water bottle as seen in the video.

Starting with upright rows the goal is to raise your arms up with your wrists together until your elbow is at a 90 degree parallel with the ground. Grab your water bottle and let’s do three sets of 8 repetitions. 

Remember, whatever you use for weight should stay centered in front of you moving from your waist to under your chin. Hold each rep at the top for a count of one second.

The next exercise we’re going to do is shoulder presses. Keep your elbows 90 degrees parallel to the ground to start and press each arm up overhead. Go ahead and do 3 sets of 8 reps keeping good form.

Let’s end with some lateral raises and alternate with front rows. Do 4 lateral raises and then switch to 4 front raises for one set of 8 total repetitions, repeat that 3 times.

Until next time, remember self-work increases self-worth, stay hydrated, stay present and always StayFly!

How To Properly Do A Plank Exercise

Learn How To Properly Do A Plank Exercise With No Elbow Pain

Hello FlyFamily, guess what today is, it’s core day and I’m going to show you how to properly do a plank exercise!

First, go grab yourself a yoga mat, towel or blanket as you’re going to need that to prevent unneeded elbow pain or discomfort for the planking we will be doing today. We want the focus on our core today and not on discomfort in our elbows.

Now, when getting onto your mat, make sure your hands are parallel with your shoulders. Drop down to your elbows on the mat which will take the place of your hands. Once you have a solid base, you want to kick your legs back slowly and one at a time.

When both legs are back, you are now in a plank position. The key about being in a plank position is to make sure your back is straight. You want to make sure that your core is engaged which means you should be feeling a burning sensation in your abdominal area.

Stay away from your butt being too high in the air where it looks like you’re building bridges or too dipped where it looks like your arching your back. Keep it nice and straight and hold it. Hold your plank for 15-30 seconds if you are a beginner and progressively increase the amount of time for each plank.

Set some goals for yourself, this is a fantastic core exercise which you should look at doing at least 3 times a week.

Remember, self-work increases self-worth, stay hydrated, stay present and always, StayFly!
