THE BARE ESSENTIALS EDITION

Too many people get caught up in the "hype" or the next "best thing"...There IS a reason why the BASICS work, why certain things ARE recommended, and why through time, no matter what else evolves or comes out, they are turned to time and again, included in WITH the "latest and greatest".

In this month's 'Training' section, I have made a few notes on getting back to BASICS re exercises that should form the core of your training programme and from which everything else can be created around.

In this month's 'Nutrition' section, I have given a few tips on how to set up a nutrition plan without having to get all complicated about it.

This month in the 'Training' section, I have given several simple tips to ensure that you do NOT have to skip your training, regardless of what is going on in your life.

THE MOTIVATION EDITION

The Olympics are the pinnacle event of any athlete's sporting career...even such elite athletes have times when their motivation drops, when they might wonder what they are doing everything they do for, when they need to rejuvenate and refocus themselves, inspired and remotivated to press on as hard as ever.

THE STRESS EDITION

NO one is immune to stress, although some manage it better than others. Life is stressful, some periods more than others. When you get stressed, exercise can stop being important and you miss training because you don't feel like you can fit it in, losing out on the endorphins released and stress-relieving benefits it offers. Nutrition can sometimes become a coping mechanism, leading to overeating, gaining unwanted body mass...

This month in the 'Training' section, I have suggested some ideas on short training sessions you can do when you feel pressed for time.

In this month's 'Nutrition' section, I have given several tips on what you can do to minimize your "stress" eating or the damage done by it.

Fitness should not be a "quick fix" or temporary "solution" in your life, but a LIFESTYLE. YOUR lifestyle. Something that you live and breathe and simply DO EVERY day. Fitness is NOT about looking good. It is about HEALTH and making your body the BEST it can be. It is about creating the optimal environment for your soul to live in, aiding in the prolonging of your life.

This month in the 'Training' section, I have explained how to go about making fitness a part of your daily routine, and no, it does NOT have to be hours of exercise every day.
