Recommendations:
Before beginning any fitness or nutrition plan, always consult with your doctor or health care provider. Also, these recommendations are not intended to diagnose, treat, prevent or cure any health condition.
General
Cellular Nutrition
Your body is only as healthy as the cells it’s made up of! Superior cellular nutrition is important in ensuring the success of your health and fitness plan. With so many choices for vitamins and supplements it can be overwhelming, and everyone wants the best for their body and budget. Products that are pharmaceutical grade and maintain good manufacturing practices are the ones of highest quality and integrity.
Hydration
The importance of hydration is invaluable and one of the easiest ways to get your health and fitness plan back on track. It is recommended to drink half of your body weight in ounces daily. So if you weigh 150 pounds aim for 75 ounces of water a day. If you are more active or live in especially hot climates you may need more.
Cardiovascular Training
Cardiovascular training is a key component in weight maintenance and healthy functioning on a daily basis. To get the most benefit for your heart, your lungs and your endurance capacity aim for most days of the week (4 plus days) for 30 minutes to 60 minutes total. If the goal is weight loss, doing something that gets your heart rate up every day is recommended.
Strength Training
For general strength gains, metabolic benefits and bone density improvement or maintenance aim for 2 to 3 times per week of resistance training. This can be with done free weights, weight machines, pilates equipment, bands, tubes or plyometric exercises. You need to rest the muscle ground one day in between before working it out again. The best time to workout is when you’ll do it so look at your schedule and incorporate strength training into your fitness program to truly change the shape of your body!
Flexibility Training
Flexibility training is an ageless training protocol and one that becomes more important as we mature. Stretching can be done every day in some form or fashion; whether it’s participating in a yoga class or just good old fashioned stretching, aim for at least 5-10 minutes everyday. For a full body stretch program you can do at home on your own, visit the products page to sample “Full Circle Stretch” audio CD.
