Introduction

Hello Everyone!!



Firstly let's get the excuse of being "too old" to get in shape out of the way.
For me my birthday is just a date on a calender as i have competed for over a decade against competitors half my age. How you might ask? By having the knowledge of how the body functions and just as importantly how to get the most out of your workouts, i will pass on my wisdom & tips to you my fellow bloggers and followers.

The "Key"(s) to exercise is having a variety. First not allowing the task to become boring and/or cumbersome as you must keep the brain guessing thus eliminating the plateau effect. Also when changes are not immediate one tends to become frustrated and feels like quitting, so we are going to change this with the blog to keep the routines far from boring and productive.

Secondly i will pass on knowledge regarding nutrition and water which is critical. You can work out all you want but remember what you do during exercise is tearing down the muscle and if you don't repair and hydrate you are just wasting your time, this aspect is probably 60%+ of the equation to a healthy body

Within the continuation of this blog, I will show you how to improve your health, change your shape and improve your game.... from the serious athlete to the weekend warrior. There will be video's of weight bearing exercises per body part and routines that everyone can fit in to their schedule and lifestyle no matter how hectic it is.

And remember, there is no point in having an empire if you are not around to enjoy it. Your body is a temple!


Yours in Fitness,

Another Enemies.......Soy Protein and High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS)



 Since everyone can relate to the automobile....if you continue to put cheap oil in to the car one day it will roll over and die, not good. So with that in mind here are two more foes against us;  Unfermented Soy Protein and High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS)   Oh i can hear it now; soy is good for the heart and it can lower LDL cholesterol but i am here to say that too much soy can result in more fat.... why?  It can spur the formation of fat cells from two natural chemicals found in soy and the scary part its hiding in everything from french fries, cookies, to salad dressing plus some chicken and fish are fed with soy. Then with too much soy your body builds up an estrogen dominance ( read the last blog on Organic Foods to explain) and so now you can see why  we need to reduce the intake  Now with high-fructose corn syrup ( its used for a sweetener because of its cheaper cost to raw sugar) its found in everyday items from bread, ketchup, cough medicine etc ( check your labels bloggers, if it contains HFCS well you know what to do...to the curb lol)  Studies say it tricks your brain into craving more food even if you don't need it plus of course too much "sugar" will contribute to more calories which is a weight gain, Type 2 Diabetes and risk of heart disease. Now its recommended per day that females have only 100 calories ( 6 teaspoons) and males 150 calories ( 9 teaspoons) of
added sugar that comes from any source, so easy to see how we can go over these amounts easily with HFCS added to our grocery list. So be diligent people when at the market and read the labels or how the product was fed as ultimately it ends up in your gas tank.
