Stretching

One small daily exercise that can be done to improve overall fitness is stretching. Stretching is beneficial to everyone no matter your age or fitness level. Some of the benefits of daily stretching are the following:

· Muscles will lengthen (increasing flexibility and mobility over time)

· Day to day activities will become easier once you start to stretch

· Improve muscle coordination

· Decrease tension in muscles

· Reduce lethargy

· Increase the blood supply to all parts of the body.

Many aches and pains can be cured or improved by daily stretching. Most people that suffer from back, neck, and knee pain will notice a fast decrease in pain from simply stretching.

Most assume stretching is something you do before and after a workout. However, stretching will benefit you even if you never do strength or conditioning training. A lot of people stretch first thing in the morning or after a warm shower. The important point is that you stretch daily. Remember some of the smallest changes will give you big results as long as you stay consistent.

Noble Fitness

Noble Fitness Let me do my part.... So many people talk about how hard it is to live a healthy lifestyle. They claim its too expensive, and overall too time consuming. I was told by a very intelligent woman years ago, "we make time for what’s important." Working out and eating right is more important mentally than it is physically. I guess the real question is when did you give up? I mean really? When did you look at yourself and allow yourself to believe being out of shape was ok? How did rationalize it so it made sense to you? Did you know 55% of the time our cravings to over spend, abuse food, alcohol, and drugs stem from the way we physically feel about ourselves. We use these items as mental getaways from reality. You feel down and depressed...one of the previous listed items seem to always make us feel better.... which intern leads many to addiction. A large portion of our populations are food addicts....addicted to sugar, salt, and caffeine. So with that said, I am starting a service Fitness Counseling service. This service will supply you with training, cooking, and fitness counseling for 5 week period. Since physical exercise is only about 20% of the fitness battle, I will not only create workout plans for you I will teach you how to eat right and the importance of good fats and essential oils. I will take a look at your daily practices, lifestyle and rest patterns and advise you of the proper changes needed. There will be no gimmick diet or workout plans. I'm going to teach you practical lifestyle changes that the average working adult and family can operate by. I will be available to talk 24/7. You have a food craving? I can either "talk you down off the ledge" or give you a health substitute. WE will work out together 2 times/week and I will cook for you and your family 2 different times/week. I will only work with 5 families/ individuals per each 5week period. E-mail me for more details. Coreymac317@gmail.com

Eat Healthy!!

People alway complain about how expensive eating health is yet never look at the money we waste destroying our bodies through drugs, alcohol, and horrible eating habbits. We dont realize the reason insurance and meds are so high is because THEY know we have lost the knowledge and ability to care for ourselves through natural means.... Eating healthy isn't expensive....but eating what the say and mark as healthy is.... Here we have: Green, and Red leaf lettuce Kale Chinese okra Garlic Ginger Dragon fruit Finger hot peppers Bananas Pinto, Black, Cranberry beans Granny Smith apples, Strawberries....... ************************ All for a grand total of $25.82...

Abs... what we are all looking for..

People ask me all the time... "what exercises do you do to keep your midsection cut up." Well folks, I'm here to tell you it has nothing to do with the exercises I do, and everything to do with the bad sugar I don't consume. For men and women excess sugar intake equals midsection and lower back fat. Also remember carb not used in a positive way in the body turn into sugar. So if you want a flat stomach...consume all of your daily carbs before 2pm each day.... and stop drinking sodas, fruit juices, and all thoes other suger filled drinks you love....Here's a crazy idea....DRINK WATER!!!
