Workout Guidelines and Tips
There are a few really common and simple concepts that can be followed everyday to
improve health and maximize your workouts. Eat right, drink lots of water, get enough sleep,
and exercise a minimum of 2 times a week. Make sure while choosing foods that the total
consumed has fewer calories than is burning in a given day. In order to adjust the bodies
metabolism and stimulate it, eat a combination of lean proteins (Fish, Poultry, lentils) and
healthy carbohydrates (whole meal bread, brown rice, whole grain cereals) every few hours
throughout the day to speed up fat loss and maintain stable energy levels. The best results
occur when meals are split in to six small meals a day. In three hours if hunger sets in, the food
portion sizes are correct. If hunger sets in sooner, then increase food portion. If in four or five
hours, hunger has not set in, portions are too big. It is recommended that other avenues of
research be investigated regarding proper nutrition and meal plans.
