A quick focus on your life goals and health/fitness desires/goals that you are going to achieve!

Nutrition and exercise are both equally important; you can't achieve your goals doing one and not the other. Saying this, the weight is on nutrition. About 80% of achieving your Health and Fitness/Weight goals is based on Nutrition, while around 20% is based on the activity and exercise (Vigorous), that you do.

A secondary note is that you can’t get fit, loose weight, get strong, and have great endurance if you aren’t healthy. If you aren’t healthy your body will focus its energy and life support on vital functions such as the brain and organs making sure they have adequate energy and support. It will do this to the detriment of most other bodily functions including but not limited to immune system, reproduction, skin/hair, energy levels etc..

Strive for Health. Ant goals you might have, physical, mental, academic, relationship, professional, if you’re healthy they’ll be easier to focus on, easier to generate the energy to do and ultimately easier to achieve.

So do we really want to achieve and are we serious about these Health and Fitness/Weight goals?

If we are.........

Make sure you start off with great unprocessed whole organic nutrition, fuel your body right and give your body what it deserves for health and recovery. I mean it gets you through tough stuff right? Work day, travel, workouts etc…
Time to give it something back, and help it recover and get you to optimal health before you make it work hard again! So let’s treat ourselves right, make the time and eat and snack on whole unprocessed organic food. Remember, spread the nutrition, about 5 meals a day, intake being in the shape of a triangle, the base representing breakfast the point your evening meal. More to start your day, less to finish it and sleep! Breakfast like a King, Supper like a Pauper.

Next, activity. Optimal physical health and fitness is achieved through 5 hours of vigorous exercise a week. That's 5 hours out of a possible 168 hours in a week, or 3% of your week. Not a lot really, we've just got to make the time for ourselves, no procrastinating, no excuses, just do it. There are no other ways around it, really what else can you become really successful at by only doing it 3% of the time?

So, in summary, if we are really being truthful to ourselves and not being in denial to ourselves, what we need to do is make sure we-

1) Ingest a variety of whole unprocessed food with a weight on fruit and vegetables, essential proteins, whole organic grains and quality organic fats.

2) Then completing at least 5 hours of vigorous activity/exercise for 3% of our week.

3) Remember the 8 hours of sleep for recovery-VITAL to reduce stress and that's important!

The numbers: 3+5=8

3- % of your week for vigorous exercise
5- Whole unprocessed meals a day
8- Hours of good sleep per night

Thank you all have an active healthy week, make the choices to keep you moving in the right direction towards your true real goals, what ever they might be, choose health.
