Do you find it to be a struggle to complete all your scheduled
workouts? You can usually get half of them during the week but not all.
What can you do to get better?
You'll benefit from better time management, planning, and an "accountability partner." Generally, if you've made it this far, you're probably not lacking in motivation.
You want to do this, otherwise you wouldn't care enough to be reading this right now.
What I usually see clients struggling with, is balancing the overwhelming demands that their work, family, and other responsibilities take on their lives.
Remember, if you don't put this (i.e. your health and fitness) as priority #1 in your life, you'll be no good to anyone else and much less productive in everything else you do.
You're no good to anyone by being a martyr. Love yourself enough to take care of YOU. Conversely, when you DO put your health and yourself first, everything in your life will improve. You'll feel better, and you'll be able to give more to everyone around you and be more productive in your career.
Now that I've hopefully got you pumped up, let's talk strategy. Morning workouts are generally the best idea for busy folks. It's a great time, when there is no work, no family, and no other social obligations. All you have to do is make sure you get to bed early enough to get up and hit it first thing before the rest of your day.
Also, you'll benefit from having an "accountability partner." This may be a coach, a friend, a workout partner, your spouse, doesn't matter, just someone that you report to and check in with on how you're doing with following through with your plan.
If your planned (scheduled workouts) aren't working, then you've got to make some changes. Don't give up, keep making changes until you've got it right.
Aerobic-this means "requiring oxygen." Aerobic metabolism occurs during low intensity, long duration exercises, like jogging.
Antioxidants-small compounds that minimize tissue oxidation and help control free radicals and their negative effects.
Body composition-the percentage of your body weight composed of fat compared to fat-free mass.
Calories-the unit for measuring the energy value of foods.
Essential fatty acids-fats our bodies can't make, so we must obtain them through our diets.
Fructose-the main type of sugar found in fruit.
Metabolism-the use of nutrients by the body. It is the process by which substances come into the body and the rate at which they are used.
Saturated fats-bad fats that raise cholesterol levels in the body. Examples include: animal foods and hydrogenated vegetable oils, such as margarine.
Unsaturated fats-these are the good fats. They include the essential fatty acids linoleic and linolenic. Main sources include plant foods such as sunflower, and flaxseed oils.
