A year later
11:17 in Uncategorized by Mike
A year has come and gone and what can I say? I feel amazing. I haven’t written much for blogs lately as work is keeping me pretty busy at the moment. However, I am still finding that working out for 7 minutes at a time 3 days a week really fits in with my schedule.
What a year this has been. I am now in the just about the best shape of my life. At least since I graduated from basic training in 1988.
I don’t get fatigued. I have lots of energy. I am sleeping very well. I feel more focused and more aware of my surroundings.
I really enjoy the workouts. I am looking at changing my intensity level again, or I may add weights to my workouts. I really enjoy everything that the exercise has done for me.
The exercises are very well portrayed and very easy to follow.
Now that I have pretty much reached my goal, I am more focused on muscle tone and increasing strength. I don’t have any unrealistic goals for fitness. I just want to continue getting fitter.
Of course, there is more to fitness than exercise. You also need to take care of your emotional and psychological needs. If you are hurting inside, then your fitness wont be successful.
And with those needs, comes the nutritional needs. Eat healthy and your goals will come in to place. I am not going to repeat what Chris relayed in his presentation on emotional eating, but I will say that you are what you eat. I know that is cliche, but if you only eat garbage, (i.e highly processed foods) then you wont get far with your fitness goals.
Always remember that protein is key. Many people cut protein when they are trying to get fit. Your body needs lean protein. You need to balance your nutrients.
Have a great day,
