Fitness and health: 4 pillars for 2010
1.Work on self-motivation.
Everything starts from the mind.
We need motives,inspiration and adequate rationalisation.
We need example!
2.Social support: keep in touch with like-minded people and help/support/inspire each other.
3. Nutrition: it often makes the difference
-learn how to roughly check your calorie intake otherwise you will work in vain
-eat more often and lesser quantities-this is strategic!
Try to spread your daily caloric intake into 5-6 equivalent meals spaced 3-4 hours apart.
-minimize the consumption of processed/packaged/industrialized foods
-minimize your intake of sugar and white flour.
Avoid dead calories.
You cannot afford it!
-avoid the deadly trans fats at all costs!
-learn to distinguish among fats.
Read about the good fats and strategically intergrate them in your diet.
Demonizing fats en bloc is a coommon and huge mistake!
-consume vast quantities of fibrous vegetables on a daily basis

4. Physical exercise
- never omit weight training, preferably with free weights.Try weights circuit training.
Adopt short but really demanding workouts.3* 20′ per week is more than enough for amateurs.
- forget about conventional,long,slow and steady cardio.
Opt instead for HIIT and preferably for sprints.You can combine high intensity interval training with free weights in the same workout
-it is a huge loss of time to involve in exercises focused on your abs.
Just do the other things right and they will take care of your abs!
-learn about functional training and gradually adopt some of its principles.Start with some bodyweight workouts.
- do not neglect stretching
