I hope everyone is enjoying the summer months with family & friends.
Vacationing does not mean to vacation from health & fitness. There are independant programs that you can implement while traveling. The most effective for fitness & conditioning is stretches & calisthenics.
Start with the upper body then lower body stretches. Remember to hold a stretch for at least 60 Seconds.You only need to stretch a single body part once! Then move onto the next region. After you are properly stretched then it is time to begin your calesthetic workout:
- Sit-ups
- pushups
- squats
- lunges
- pull-up
- chin-ups
I recommend each performed as one set to exhaustion.
The next item is nutritional intake. We want to be able to enjoy a healthy and energetic summer vacation with proper nutritional food intake.
First, understand food and the importance of proper food combinations and structured intake times.
Fruit is highly beneficial to the digestive system in the morning hours of the day. Eat fruit as your first course. Within 20 minutes it completes its digestion and begins to supply the body with nutrition.
Breakfast / Lunch & Dinner always remember to properly combine your meals.
Never combine protein and carbohydrates since this slows down the digestive process.
Meat with vegetables or vegetables with carbohydrates.
Drink water as a natural method of hydration!
Enjoying the summer months through proper exercise and nutrition compliments a healthy lifestyle.
Yours In Health,
