YOU CANT EXERCISE AWAY BAD EATING HABITS
Hey Gang,
With our next bootcamp starting a week from today I figured that we would talk about the nutrtion component of getting in shape.
Some of you may remember my post on my 4-3-2-1 Rule. If not here it is again.
4 servings fruits and vegetables
3 servings protein ( 3oz each)
2 servings whole grains ( pasta,Bread)
1 serving good Fats
And remember drink half you weight in oz of water each day.
This can be one of the easiest food programs to follow.
when eating a meal think of your plate as a pie.
1/3-protien
2/3-vegetables
stick with this program and the extra pounds should slide off.
Also make sure you take 1 day a week to eat what ever you want.
This program will bring you all the weightloss you desire.
It will take a little work in the begining but it will be worth it.
Favorite Chicken Recipe
3lbs chicken breast
1/3 cup Teriyaki Sauce
1 tablespoon minced garlic
5 dashes of Ms Dash seasoning
1/3 cup red wine
Chop chicken into bite size squares
cook in WOK or large frying pan
add Garlic
add Red Wine
Teriyaki Sauce
Ms Dash
Cook until done.
This should be enough for 12 servings
1 Night make chicken Quesadillas
1 night make chicken,Vegetables and whole wheat pasta
1 night chicken,Broccolli over Brown rice.
The options are endless
If you have any other ideas let me know.
If you know someone who would be interested in this post please pass it on

TV COMMERCIAL WORKOUT
Hey Gang,
Alot of people complain the never have time to workout but they spend hours in front of the TV. If you are one of these people you can do the TV Commercial workout. This will enable you to still watch TV and not have the guilt of being a couch potato.
This workout is simple and easy to do. Essentially you are doing 2 min intervals. The average commercial time is 2-4 mins. Most people cannot sustain an exercise for that long. You can do the following exercises for as long as you can while the commercials are on. Most hour shows have about six commercial breaks. Do the exercises in the order that they are listed.
a)prisoner squat(hands behind head)
b)diamond pushup ( fingers together form a diamond)
c)foward lunge
d)rear lunge
e) Regular p-up from your knees as many as possible
f)supermans
These exercises work almost your whole body and you arent stuck on the couch. Have your kids give this a try next time they are in fornt of the tube or give it a shot your self. Leave a comment and let me know what you think.
See you in camp

FIRE UP YOUR METABOLISM WITH 6 SMALL MEALS
Hey Gang I hope all is well and that fitness is still a part of your life.
Today I want to talk about the benefit of numerous small meals through out the day. When you eat small meals every 2 to 3 hours your body gets conditioned to burn calories faster and more productively. The body learns that every few hours fuel will be sent to the cells. This tells the body that it must burn the exess calories so it can accomodate the new fuel. The best way to do this is to always combine a protein with a complex carb at each meal. These meals dont have to be a sit down gorge fest.
Breakfast can be 1% fat cottage cheese with a nectorine or plum cut up along with some vegetable juice. It could also be oatmeal with wallnuts and dried fruit. Some people like buckwheat pancakes mixed with fruit in the batter. For a mid morning snack you could have a piece of low fat string cheese and an apple or peanuts and celery. There are alot of choices if you remember that a protien always goes with a complex carb. Your regular sit down meals should be 1/3 protein and 2/3 complex card or vegetables. By complex carbs I mean foods that are low on the gylcemic index. You can find a chart on the internet. Eating this way will cause the pounds to drop right off and keep your furnace on high.
I hope this was helpful. Please leave a comment and let me know if you would like more info along these lines.
