PEAK PERFORMANCE

Hello everyone! Welcome to your health and fitness RX!
Over the past 8 months we have covered alot relative to fitness and experiencing a healthy life style. We have looked at various ways to exercise...all the way from the beginner to the accomplished athlete including my exercise program for the Senior Olympics. Today I will highlight some of the "roadblocks" to health and fitness.
Roadblocks to a healthy life style:
1) eating the wrong foods...the proper diet is not a punishment, but rather a reward for making the right desision. No fried foods, sugar, gravy, syrup, white bread and flour and processed foods.
2)not getting at least 8 hours of sleep.
3) stress...in my opinion, the #1 cause preventing good health. Stress causes so many other ailments. Some people have endured stress most of their lives, so much so that they feel it is "normal" to have chronic aches and pains. It is not normal!
4) not having a regular and consistant exercise plan.
5) lack of preparation both physically and mentally.
6) a lack of goals and writing down your progress.
7) lack of exercise preparation...warmup and stretching. As an athlete, my #1 fear is injury. I now need at least 20 minutes of stretching before starting my exercise program or a competitive event.
A HEALTHY LIFE STYLE DOES NOT COST...IT PAYS!
