Tom Brady asks for just 12 minutes of our time (TB12).
This is part two charting my progress along the TB12 route. A 12-minute sequence designed to support my muscles, mind and sleep. Developed by the highly successful NFL player and his body coach.
Charting my movement the morning routine is beginning more established. The hydration: we have been without a drink for a long period of time so this is important is simple and goes with morning medication anyway. Water is the best option even if you need your caffeine fix afterwards.
The gluteus/core exercise and breathing are both in. The smoothie still missing but the two spoons of berries in porridge and cranberry juice remain. Plenty of fruit and veg throughout the day.
Sweet potatoes and spinach are two additional from the ‘shopping list of great foods. Kiwi and grapes at night increase melatonin to aid sleep. The sequence of lower body stretches added to my sleep management plan in the evenings. Apparently, a good way to get those muscles ready to relax and recover overnight.
Even some of the best are tapping into this. In an interview on Channel 4 prior to the last Grand Prix of the season, Sir Lewis Hamilton talked about his negativity. Pushing it to one side. Looking for the small positives that day and the challenges it brings. The opportunity to move forward. Afterwards, Mark Webber (ex-racing driver) lauded the fact this was the influence of Tom Brady and had an impact on the way in which Hamilton was ending the season mentally, having struggled after dramatically loosing out to Max Verstappen in the World Championship a year ago.
