Nutrition (again)

It is too easy to eat a lot of junk food this time of the year. One tip is before going out to the party, or bar, or club, eat something healthy like an apple or a small dark green salad. You won’t be as hungry because your body will have taken in some nutrient rich foods.
Remember: five servings of fruit and veggies daily will go a long way at keeping hunger at bay.

Winter Insulation

In the winter our body wants to put on fat for insulation. Sorry, there is nothing we can do about human evolution. SO what I recommend is to make the next month or two the time to lift heavy and put on muscle. If you’re going to gain weight anyways, why not make it productive weight. Add in some plyometrics and I think when spring time rolls around you will be happy with the way you feel and the way you look.

Absence

I know I have been slacker in updating my blog, but the past six months have been pretty hectic. A good friend and student passed away suddenly in August (check out his tribute at http://completefitnessconcepts.com/tf.htm). I also had some nasal surgery followed by a sinus infection. Add that to work and school and I became overwhelmed.
But hopefully from here forward as I get revelations I will be more disciplined in posting.
