NUTRITION 101

Our lifestyle is a direct reflection of our state of mind and our quality of life.

Common health and fitness myths:

“I don’t just want to lose weight and not gain muscle, I don’t want to be big”

One of the most common myths especially amongst women. Goals differ from person to person but even for general health weights are absolutely necessary to prevent such things as arthritis, muscle, tendon, ligament strength and improved mood. A health program is never complete without some form of weight training. You will not turn into Mr. Universe unless your specific program is geared toward that goal.

“I train so much and have a healthy diet but I don’t see results!”

I have heard this many times as a trainer for many years I have found that the reason for this is not entirely the program itself but is the consistency of that program. This is precisely why diets should be looked at as long term and the reason why it should be sustainable for this person.

“I don’t have time to exercise, lift weights or eat healthy.”

This is the ultimate statement of failure. Our physical health is absolutely vital for us to be in out best state of being. Our minds will never be at our best and our lives will never fully be lived unless we physically take care of our bodies.

Our lifestyle is a direct reflection of our state of mind and our quality of life. Those who exercise regularly, eat healthy and prioritise self growth, emotional intelligence and are consistent live fuller and happier lives. Never forget what we put in our bodies is what fuels our minds and performance.
