Subject: Health/Ftiness Life Change With a 7MinuteWorkOut ?

I would like to share with the world today some thoughts on how we can all stay more

motivated,Healthy and Fit as we go through daily living.
It is a great time to focus on your health and well being,so do not put it off.

I know about health hang ups from a stroke in 94, so all of you out there that need sharpening up your daily routines should consider an exercise { It,s called working the muscles } plan that you can do at home in your own time frame.

Questions:
1. What sort of change can I make for exercise and diet and then stick with literally forever?

2. What methods helped {Chris Reid Partner Of a fitness program} and his students most during his 20 year competition career and 15 year coaching career. He has trained 2 world champions and several other International and national champions).

Regarding the 1st question. He met a great guy who told him he had lost 35 lbs a few years ago by

cutting out all sugar from his diet. The problem of course was the change was too drastic to stick with so he put the weight right back on. A lady who drastically reduced all carbohydrates, she lost weight but the reality was that she lost muscle mass at the same rate as she lost fat.....and again put it all back on.

The best method, follow simple balance diet. Reduce bad foods, enjoy energy foods and make sure you do not feel hungry. This can be achieved by simply adding fiber to your diet. Try a tablespoon of fiber supplement[your choice} mixed with water before lunch and dinner. It controls your sweet-tooth.

Choose a diet, nothing extreme but something that can be folowed permanently, enjoy a balanced one that does not completely outlaw the foods you enjoy.

This workout is the one people have the most difficult time accepting. Body maintenance routine is just 7 minutes, 3 times per week. You burn fat by redirecting calories, to feed muscle instead of fat!
The best part is that once this process starts and muscle starts to demand calories, you can burn fat 24/7!

Did you know that it takes 100 calories a day to maintain 1 pound of muscle? So if a 200lb person adds 5lbs of muscle (it will not look muscular, spread over the body 5lbs of muscle will simply have toning effects not the appearance of bulky muscle) you will burn and extra 500 calories a day feeding that muscle. Those calories used to feed fat but now the fat is being starved and the muscle is consuming the energy instead!

We need a balanced exercise routine where all muscles are strategically worked in order to keep muscular and skeletal health.This is vital with those who are not able to go to exercise classes someplace else.

This also helps the mind and heart to work for your well being.

With a good workout routine,you will notice how all the muscles in the body work with equal importance. Muscles are not just there to look strong or impress friends, they serve a function and while you will certainly see some aesthetic improvements,you will feel better than ever!

I hope this has given you some thoughts as to how you can change your routine to do this for your body,soul and mind..
