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,

Nutriton and Wellness Tips


Fruit or Veggies; Having a hard time getting your family its daily allotment?  Use a blender to puree it into meals and nobody needs to know but the K-Man  (lol)
Fiber;  Looking for something tasty and packs a punch towards your daily recommended needs?  Dates.....just 2 contains 3 grams of what your looking for, sweet deal!
Heart Health;  Lifting weights allows more HDL ( good cholesterol ) to stay in your system as pushing the iron prevents the enzyme from removing it......nice!
And another reason to get off the soda train.....having  a pop a day will raise your stroke rate due to its sweeteners and coloring that's added
Red Wine; Besides having antioxidants to fight disease, tests shows its slows down the growth of fat cells. Now that's something to toast too!
Weight Loss Supplements;  Are you kidding me!!...all they do is raise your blood pressure, heart rate and other side effects. Don't be looking for a shortcut, train and eat smart.
Pass the Fish and Smile; Omega 3 oils found in our friends from the sea will lower your chance of gum disease
Trouble Sleeping?  Try some kiwi's before bedtime with its serotonin ingredient to help you doze off
Protein Power;  Anchovies pack a punch of 1 gram per and only 7 calories plus have niacin which helps burn your fat.....that my friends is a win/win.
Give a boost to your antioxidants by squeezing a lemon wedge into your green tea because of the acidity......hey, see all lemons aren't bad
Dark Chocolate Magic ( at least 70% cacoa)  Besides helping your heart, tests prove a lowering of the mass index, so have an ounce daily

Perfect Food the Egg White;  In addition to the fat free protein, it also contains amino acids with high levels of antioxidants

Looking for another reason to be fit?  Every 4 inches you put on that "spare tire" of yours,  you increase your risk of Type 2 Diabetes by a whopping 95%
