Sort your eating out……….the little things matter

The little things always add up to the big thing so its time to fix your health once and for all.

You may have changed your diet considerably for years and that has been a very good effort.

The final step is the little things, the sauces, the salad cream, the mayo, in other words the condiments.

We are talking about the stuff you have in the kitchen which i wouldnt consider eating, if you want to be at your best that is.

Now that i am without those products in my life, i dont wheeze, i dont cough and splutter so much, i dont have any shortness of breath.

This is exactly what happens when i put these items in my life, and im deadly serious, perhaps i just “got used” to them, in a bad way! Now im very glad they are out of my life, never a truer statement made!!

 I have seen countless people go through massive changes in their lives, and the key element has always been changing your way of thinking and for some its either massively changed or changing slightly for some even. After changing the fundamentals in your diet, the little do things DO matter and im so convinced im going to really bag on about it!!

This is the statement you need to think about

“IS WHAT IM ABOUT TO EAT/DRINK ALL NATURAL AND IS IT GOING TO DO ME ANY GOOD?”

If you can honestly answer this as YES 80% or more of the time, then you’re going to be in fantastic shape full stop!!!

This means you can still have your moderate amount of wine, and moderate amount of anything, just that the majority of the stuff you have has to be natural and of good nutritional value.

So the little things will do you no end of good and it will take you 2-4 weeks to get used to it. The results with the cholesterol, blood pressure, resting heart rate, circulation and everything will be tremendous!

lets go over it again, no mayo, no margarine, no butter, no salt, have i gone on too far already? Yes, butter and margarine, these are NEEDLESS calories. Flora is a huge multi-national brand, but it is full or rubbish!! They say its better for you than butter or other maragrine, but what if you didnt eat ANY of them!!

Try it out and let mow know the staggering results you will achieve!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please try it out, you can do it and save you lots of calories every day, no excuses, come on lets do it and take yourself to another level!!!

Have a great weekend and let me know how you get on?

“Women shouldn’t lift weights”……..don’t talk rubbish!!!

This statement is wrong on so many levels its not true, but lets set the record straight once and for all!

In most gyms, you only see women near the CV machines, the bike, stepper and treadmill mainly, and never seeing them pushing any kind of weight.

First of all, if they don’t start lifting weights, they will NEVER reshape their bodies effectively. If you just do aerobic exercise, you may be likely to get smaller but the shape you want will never happen.

Your metabolism won’t be raised as much either, if you do aerobic work your metabolism will be raised for around 12 hours, if you do some weights and aerobic work, your metabolism will be raised for 36 hours, huge difference right there and a great reason to include resistance training in your workouts.

Women in recent studies have been found to be twice as likely to suffer from depression.

It has been found that intense weight training or intense resistance exercise has been found to get rid of many of the symptons associated with depression. The same results were not found by doing aerobic work alone. This can be a massive change and uplift to anyone’s mindset and is very recommended.

All women i have trained hard with weights always look more feminine, and never bulky. You get toned with resistance work and not “bulked out” like so many people say, that only happens if you consume huge amounts of food daily as well as illegal steroids, which leads into a whole new world of negatives.

Don’t forget the bone strengthening benefits of resistance training, in these days of osteoporosis and osteoarthritis, there has never been a better time to do your resistance work, any doctor will tell you that. I have seen some serious results first-hand so i know it works in a big way!

You will get an enormous amount out of resistance training, and do wonders for your appearance as well as your mindset. When you get used to lifting weights, you will become more confident and it will feel very good to be thata much stronger and much more toned.

In short weight training and resistance work will benefit you in every single way, so lets get on with your workouts and incorporate resistance at least twice a week!

Tuesday feels good!

After a weekend away, not training and eating things you shouldnt at times, its great to have got in a big tuesday of work, plenty of sessions, some running and some great cycling!

This feels great i can tell you, and it feels even better because i hadnt really done anything since friday morning, i did a brief workout last night but as i had a slightly unsettled stomach, i held back a bit so hit a 15 minute all the basics workout, one set of everything.

Now that i can hold my food down, i feel energised that all the blood is flowing and my naturally good energy levels are well and truly back, and im motivated to have a very good week with eating and training!

Don’t you feel like that sometimes? Or am i the local lunatic who should sent to the asylum as soon as possible!!!

So if tuesday seems like a drag for you, really appreciate how you do feel when you are able to do workouts, you’re able to go to the shop and make some great fresh choices!!

If i want to feel bad and low in energy, i will call down the petrol stations, get some ice cream, chocolate, a bottle of wine and then moan about it tomorrow. no choice really is it?

You don’t have to do your favourite workouts or anything special this week either, just do SOMETHING and you’re going to feel so much better, trust me please?

Let me know how you get on, and did the whole experience make you feel better or worse? I will bet on the answer!!

England are out!!!

Apparently, England are expecting a heroes welcome today, their flight home has been diverted to Glasgow airport! That was on Talk sport this morning which is an english radio station but thought that was really funny!

Jean asks why was Rooney looking so slow etc and i think that most of us are fed up of the “bigging up” by the press, the england team are either rubbish and unpatriotic, or they are world-beaters! Clearly they are no world beaters so this probably leaves england amongst the weaker nations when it comes to international football.

The question that has been asked is why these players play so well for their clubs and they are so poor at international level.

There are a number of reasons i suppose and im not an international football coach, but playing players out of position doesnt work, the english players are not technically as good as the germans, the germans “wanted it” much more and were prepared to run all day to make opportunities to win the game.

The likes of rooney, terry, gerrard are obviously over-hyped and were taken to the cleaners by this relatively unknown German team, these unknowns are now household names now in germany and is a testament to their youth policy. You have to say they were the best team.

In this country, the focus seems on getting the best foreign talent in and not developing our own. This probably means that club football is far more important than the international game, and really exposed when england gets such a hammering and end up being a disgrace.

A lot of people are saying get rid of Capello and bring in Harry Rednapp.

As i stated before on here, Rednapp seems a much better man manager and seems to have the knack of getting the very best out of players, many of whom were previously heading to the scrapheap! He is also full of passion and drive, and its great to see he is getting the recognition he deserves.

Getting people to believe in themselves is more than half the battle, Rooney doesn’t become a terrible player overnight, after all he was voted the player of the Premiership this year. He clearly has lost confidence, perhaps his injuries caught up with him, whatever the reason, there was no excuse for not chasing every ball down and no trying your best, at times it did seem many of the English team were not as committed as the Germans clearly were.

England need a huge inquiry into their performance and need to create a centre of excellence, like most successful nations have. However it appears the FA are about as pro-active as the Lawn Tennis Association, plenty of talk but on the results front, pretty useless and a national disgrace, always have been and always will be.

Wales v South Africa

Wales versus south africa today is a strange occasion. Normally a huge game, this perhaps means a little less to most because technically we are out of season and it may be that we have had enough of rugby for this season!!

The season used to be septermber to april if you were lucky, now it seems as if it goes on all year with summer tours etc.

Anyone who plays the game knows though that the game really goes on all year, with training and pre-season going on throughout the summer, with some pre-season’s actually starting now. No player can afford to be off-season anymore, its all about improving your conditioning year in year out and improvement being the operative word.

You should be having the same attitude too, being in shape all year round is tough, but being in generally good health all year should be no problem for you now!! You have all the tools to stay in shape, you have the motivation and you know what to do.

It comes back to the same old saying “there’s heck a lot of difference between knowing what to do and actually doing it”!!

Enjoy the game!
