Nutrition 101: The Basics

Nutrition is something often overlooked by individuals trying to achieve a fit and healthy lifestyle. With so many fast food restaurants at ones disposal, it is no wonder why America has a case of the "Expanding Waistline." Many make the inaccurate assumption that exercise is where most results come from, not realizing that nutrition accounts for 80% of results, and exercise is just the icing on the cake. Texas adults hold a jaw dropping 64% overweight ratio according to State statistics. Bottom line, nutrition does matter. Taking small steps in your diet can amount to big changes later, and help transitioning to healthier eating habits become alot easier. Below are eating tips that you can slowly implement into your daily lifestyle to help you achieve your goals.


Do’s:

Eat plenty of leafy green vegetables.
Eat lots of lean chicken, fish, turkey, and lean beef.

Eat 5-6 small meals a day, drink an average of 8 glasses of water a day.
Try not to eat within 2 hrs of sleep.
Eat plenty of complex carbs(oatmeal, sweet potatoes, lentils).
Use low fat/sugar sauces for flavoring (mustard, salsa,balsamic vinagarette).

Dont’s:
Stay away from fast foods.
Stay away from greasy fried foods.
Eliminate sodas and high sugar punches.
Drastically reduce intake of simple carbs (cake, candy, chips).
Reduce Intake of high/fat/sugar sauces (mayo, ketchup, tarter sauce,ranch).

Regardless of goals, clean eating is imperative to a successful program. Treat yourself to a cheat meal once a week for sanity purposes, but understand great nutrition habits coupled 
with gret exercise habit is the key to results.

Fit Talk 101: Resistance (Weight) Training

Muscle is a very adaptive tissue and with proper training, muscles continuously grow stronger and larger which allows one to perform everyday activities more easily. In contrast, they can also become smaller and weaker if they are not used on a regular basis, therefore resistance training should be apart of every one's program. Weight training in the gym is something that has become very underrated in the world today. Many people make the false assumption that cardio is more than enough  to “stay in shape”, and tend to not understand that cardio and resistance weight training go hand in hand regardless of the goal. Though many are not fully aware, resistance training is a pertinent component to  a successful workout program. Many have reservations on lifting from fears of getting to big, injury, to being completely oblivious to correct form.
In order to ensure the most efficient weight lifting program is chosen, one must first identify goals.




Toning:

        
        Reps:15-20
        Weight: Light
        Sets : 1-3
        Rest: 30 s- 1 min between sets
        Type of exercise- Full Body Workout
        Type of Equipment: Machines, body weight exercises

Muscle Growth:
        
        Reps: 6-10
        Weight:_Heavy, Continuously increased every set
        Sets:3-4
        Rest: 30 s to 2 min
        Type of exercise: 2 body parts per day, or Full Body
        Type of Equipment: Machines, pulleys, Free Weights

Muscle Strength
        

        Reps:1-Failure
        Weight: Extra Heavy
        Sets-1-3
        Rest: 2÷ min
        Type of Exercise- Full Body, 1 body part daily,
        Type of Equipment: Machines, pulleys, free weights

Once goals are identified the workout should be executed accordingly. Resistance training is not an option, It is a vital component in order to allow your program to be a success. Rather getting help from a fitness professional or researching resistance training on your own, it is something that all are in need of.
