Proper Nutrition-is 80 % Of Your Workout Success

August 25th, 2010 by admin Leave a reply » Proper nutrition is 60 to 80 % of your work out success. Nutrition is always overlooked. Most people working out always go with the more is better line of thinking.

Working out tears down the muscle fibers and when they heal they become a little larger and a little stronger each time.

However, appropriate nutrition, what they should eat. Placed miracle grow plant food when the plant is a good example. This is because proper nutrition is provided, will be twice as fast and twice as large.
And so is by increasing muscle. If you feed them good healthy foods and supplements that will grow faster, bigger and stronger. You should eat 5-6 small meals a day. Why, because small meals are easier to digest. Your body burns and do not store them as fat.
A good example is like when you throw a large log on the fire. It will just lay there and smolder all day. All you get is some smoke and occasional pop and crackle. It doesn’t make much heat.

But if you throw on small pieces of wood ignites and produces a large flame, with much warmth and light. And in a few minutes until it is burned out. And so it is with your metabolism, you eat a large meal, your stomach is full, and you must push open a few times and unbuckle your pants and stretch out and take a nap.
It makes you sleepy in your intestinal meal. Recall Thanksgiving and Christmas, but will say it all. Remember all the great food, heartburn, indigestion, hiccups and those annoying fart? Of course you do.
That big meal put out your fire. It’s not burning up; it’s just sitting in your belly smoldering. It’s not producing any heat, and now your sleepy lethargic and miserable.

But the power of that body five or six small meals a day and each meal will burn in your body rather than stored as fat. Small meals are easy to digest and will have greater nutrient absorption.
What’s that you say? You can’t make that many meals everyday?These meals do not have to be 10 course meals. A small meal could be a bowl of cereal for breakfast and a boiled egg. I used to take 3 boiled eggs with me to work everyday as one of my small meals. You can put them in a baggy with salt and pepper and shake up the bag and get them seasoned.

A dressing can be a small meal of small salad spoon. You can add turkey or ham protein sources. Apple, banana, mixed nuts, fruit cups, canned pineapple or peaches are healthy and small meals, lunch one point some good ideas is a good choice. A meter-long two points can make up your little meal.
When it is time to portion size you choose remember that your stomach only about the size of your fist. It does not take much to fill it. But most people eat more and stretch the stomach. The more you feed on, the more it expands. Then instead of 2 piece of pizza you wind up eating the whole thing.
It takes about 20 minutes before your brain sends the signal to your stomach telling you that you’re full, so eat slow.

Remember nutrition is 75 to 80 % of your workout success and hard work is rest of the formula.

a motivational tip for the Fit X Nation

What can you do to keep motivated to work out?

This list is not all inclusive but it does have some things you can use to keep yourself going to the gym long after the New Year’s crowd has quit.

1. Photos: Pictures can be very inspirational! Regardless of what you think of those magazines, having a picture to look at is helpful in letting your mind capture an image of what you want. Once your mind has the image, you will start to take actions in life to accomplish that.
2. Set small goals: Sometimes it much easier to think of getting around the next corner then it is to look at the big picture. A technique you can use at the gym. Set weekly goals (1 lb a week) rather than looking at what you want to accomplish in a year from now.
3. Music: A classic motivator. If you like music and it doesn’t bother you at all, and then consider it for an extra boost when you don’t feel like working out. Music can easily put you into the mood.
4. Workout partners: The best motivation is somebody else with a like goal that wants to accomplish what you want as well. When you feel down and out and not really into it, this person might pull you along. When you can’t get that last rep out, they are there to give you a spot. It’s so much easier to have a training partner you can trust that motivates you.
5. Classes: Many people want to workout but feel without structure, they just get lost and bored. Being in a class can really help focus in on your goals with structured objectives in mind. If you don’t like working out alone, a class might be an idea option. Especially when you don’t know where to being and you like the idea of instruction.
6. Personal trainer: Some times they get a bad rap, but if you find a good one, then paying for a mentor is precisely what you need. They can help push you and adjust your program for progressive resistance and growth. Not only are you accountable (spending money) but a good personal trainer can help design you a program and nutritional plan that meets your needs. Everybody should have a personal trainer at some point. Their watchful eye on your exercise form is critical as well.
7. New routines: When your routine becomes boring and stagnant, there’s nothing like trying new stuff to spice it up and keep you interested. You are engaging in fitness for life. That doesn’t mean you have to do the same old boring routine for the rest of your life! Having a new plan of action can keep you mentally fresh and your body challenged.
