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,

The "X" Factors

.

Unknowingly we are allowing chemicals from plastics and metals to enter into our body's which studies has shown mimics estrogen and allows you to gain fat. To avoid this situation just follow these simple rules;.

A) Never use plastic in the microwave/stove as in will leach into your food.

B) Try to avoid plastic wrapped meats.....when you are able have the grocer wrap it in paper.

C) Try to avoid canned goods like tuna and produce and replace it with over the counter fish and frozen veggies/fruits in bags.

D) Avoid plastic and styrofoam cups
plus check your water bottle on the bottom....give it the field goal kick if it has the #7 on it.

So there we have it as we are getting rid of plastic entering our body, but how about recycling and lead by example to save our planet...why?  Well they end up in our oceans and since they are not biodegradable they only break down into smaller pieces with all the toxins ( PCBs, DDTs, etc which can't be absorbed by the sea). So we end up with these small chemical pellets that make their way through the food chain then into fish and ultimately  to us humans. So start a local movement to recycle plastics as its not difficult.   The World will be a better place for it and future generations will thank you
