Motivation and Destruction

There are 2 important fitness and health details I remind my clients of:
1- Abs are made in the kitchen
2- You get stronger when you recover.

Abs are made in the Kitchen:
You can spend all day doing P90X, reV abs, or any other great workout program, but it if you don't eat properly for your goals then you will probably give up before you achieve your goals. We all love a "come from behind" story but you do not want to put yourself behind from the start. Seek a professional to help you get your eating in order. If you just have no power over bad food in your house then you should not bring that food into your home. If you smell Mc Donald's french fries and you "have to" stop in then find a different route to where you are going(you will burn extra calories just thinking about the new route).

You get stronger when you recover:
Have you ever picked up a weight that is light at first then gets really heavy after a minute or less? Of course you have at some point. That is how the body works; we lose strength as we exercise. the amazing thing about getting weaker during your exercise is that you get stronger when you recover properly. Your body will see that a stress has been placed on it, magically produce either more muscle or more energy producers withing the muscle cell and you get stronger next time. (There is a lot of Real science behind recovery but most readers don't care to know). As the muscles recover you have more strength, more energy, and more endurance than before.

The complaint I hear from most beginning exercisers is that they are so tired after working out that they don't have the energy for anything else. I tell them to be patient, it takes about 2 weeks of consistent training for your energy level to improve. As you begin to exercise remember to clean up your eating as well. Cleaner eating will make the results come faster.

Look at your eating and exercise habits to find room for improvement. There are quick and easy ways to make your life healthier: Deep Breathing can be done anywhere, drinking enough water is simple, sneaking in exercise is as easy as sitting down 10 times instead of just once each time you sit down at your desk.
To clean up your eating start with Shakeology, "the healthiest meal of the day", to fill the holes in your diet.

be healthy out there, there are toxins everywhere.
