No such thing as" Natural" Vitamins

Most vitamins on the market today are synthetic. They are pure chemicals created out of a food base. Many supplement companies put the word "Natural"
on the container becaues it sells. For example most vitamin C is made from corn. It is basically chemically converted to sugar, which is converted to synthetic L-ascorbic acid.

Whole grains only because......

Refined grains lose 90% of nutritional value thru refining process.

I'm Back!!!

It has been a while since my last blog post.... I am gonna try and be consistent with writing on here. I get caught up in life...and well you know how it is.

My biggest pet peeves

One of my biggest pet peeves is people that do not re-rack their weights in the gym-How hard is it to put your weights away- If you cant re-rack your weights you should not be in a public gym-Have consideration for other people! Another huge pet peeve is LOSERS that dont pick up after their dogs-No, dog crap is not organic - and there is no such thing as the "poo fairy" that is going to come and pick it up. I just thought I would get that off of my chest

One of my favorite quotes

"Fitness is a journey, not a destination.It must be continued for the rest of your life." Kenneth cooper, MD

Exercising during the Holidays

"Tiz the season" for Christmas parties,dinners,drinks and lots of deserts.Don't go crazy over analizing everything bad that you have consumed.Enjoy yourself in moderation, remember this is not the time to analize your eating.Don't feel guilty about eating desert or having a few extra drinks.Enjoy yourself, but remember now is the time to keep up on your workouts. Try to get to the gym regularly, even if you skip a day during the week, then go on a saturday or sunday.Get up a little earlier and go on an hour walk at a fast pace. If your gonna have that cookie or piece of cake ,which I always do, remember to step it up on your workouts.

Working out for thirty minutes three times a week

Just 30 minutes three times a week, lifting weights can build muscle mass. What's more, working all that muscle burns calories, making it a great way to lose your gut, as well. Don't have weights? Try lifting yourself: Pullups are the most valuable muscle-building exercises as well as squats and pushups!
