Sept is here and now is a great time to get in shape and think about eating healthy!
Consider eating less fast foods and more low -soluble foods such as bran flakes, v8 juice, apples, grapefruit etc..
Try to aim for at least 30-45mins per day of exercise that gets the heart rate up, biking, running, bootcamp, swimming, kickboxing, etc..

Here are the top 10 nutrition mistakes commonly made by active people.
Skipping breakfast. Experts agree–skipping breakfast just means you’ll be hungrier later, which can make it more difficult to control both your diet and your weight.
Not eating before a workout. Providing the body with food for energy allows for a better, more productive exercise session. Try eating a pre-workout meal consisting of carbs, a little fat and some protein.
Waiting too long after exercise to eat. One of the best things you can do to prepare for your next workout is eat a small meal that includes both carbohydrates and protein within two hours of your last session.
Replacing meals with energy bars or replacement drinks. Many energy bars offer little more nutrition than your average candy bar and replacement drinks may lack adequate fiber. There’s really no substitute for healthy whole foods.
Eating too much protein and not enough carbs. The current popularity of low-carb diets has many people trying to fuel their workouts with poultry instead of pasta. But carbohydrates are essential to effective workouts.
Trusting the accuracy of dietary supplement labels and claims. Because the supplement industry remains largely unregulated, manufacturers can make unproven and untested claims about their products. Do your homework before putting anything into your body.
Not consuming the right amount of calories for the amount of activity you do (i.e., too many or too few). Your caloric intake should be sufficient to support your active lifestyle, but not so abundant that weight control becomes a challenge.
Believing that exercise means you can eat whatever you want. Whether you exercise a little or a lot, you still need to follow a healthy, balanced diet and watch you portion sizes.
Not drinking the right amount of fluids. Dehydration can be a serious problem, especially if you exercise in hot, humid environments. Drinking fluids before, during and after exercise will help you maintain adequate hydration levels.
Jumping on the latest diet craze in search of that elusive “edge.” It’s tempting to believe there is some magic formula out there that will dramatically improve our performance or lose weight, but the best approach is to stick to the basics and follow a healthy, balanced diet

It has been a while since I posted!
Not like me, but hey I am extremely busy and that is the life of a man with 3 kids, 1 business, 2 other jobs and 20-35 hours of training at the gym, bootcamps and martial arts!
I wrote about New Years Resolutions in this year.
Mine is almost here! My goal was to get at least 1 world record this year!
In 13 days, Feb 21st I will be setting a world record and for stepups with a 40lb backpack on, 15" step and for 1 hour!
I will update the blog and as I am feeling not the best right now it is good. Because I will be feeling good in a few days and recharged to kick the world record to a new level!

New Years is a great time of year! There are parties, get-togethers and all sorts of events to celebrate the New Year that is coming up!
It is a great time of year to reflect on all the positive things you have done this year and focus your sights on achieving even greater things for the upcoming year.
A lot of people set themselves goals as New Years Resolutions....this is important to help you not only have focus and a reason in life but it is also needed to keep you on track. Everyone has different goals and dreams however the one common goal remains; to accomplish something positive in life this New Year.
In order to keep your goal realistic and achievable you need to set yourself some smaller attainable goals on the way to accomplishing the BIG GOAL.
Write your goals down and when you accomplish part of or the whole goal write it down and reward yourself.
If your goal is fitness and health related then you need to track your progress and motivate yourself by looking at your goal when you feel like giving up!
Put your goal on the fridge so you can look at it everyday! It works...I do this myself with my goals and it is a foolproof way. Everyone has to eat so when you go to the fridge you see your goal and you can reflect even if for a few minutes!
All the best to you and good luck with your goals in the New Year!
Yours in Health,
Arran
