Diet and Exercise

[The Matt]

I forgot one of the most important parts of my diet...No soda, no juice, only milk and water to drink.

I don't eat a lot but I do not eat that healthy either. Part of dealing with my work schedule combined with my wifes who works 3 or 4 days a week for 14 hour shifts. We have conditioned ourselves to basically one big meal a day. So you spend most of the day feeling famished and then bloated after eating.

I'm not overweight because I DO work out a bit and my total calorie intake for the day isn't outrageous, I'm just saying it isn't the healthiest lifestyle.

I've been working out since I was a teenager, and I'm 51 years old. I cycle over 5000 miles annually, and enjoy a good weight lifting routine. I believe people have approached diet the wrong way. Yes, diet is important, but exercise is more important.

For instance, your heart is a muscle. Good diet will help, but exercise is what will condition the heart, increasing the hearts ability to pump nutritious blood and oxygen to the vital organs, muscles, and bones of the body. Exercise also causes the ABPM (Average Beats Per Minute) to decrease, allowing efficiency at the resting and maximum heart rate.

Also, when a person exercises they become concerned about their diet automatically. Dieting alone doesn't yield the same affect, but because exercise gives a person such an overall affect in the body, concern, awareness, and the vivid change motivate one to eat well. Not only have I proven this myself, the countless other people I've trained with agree.

One more thing: nothing will burn fat like exercise, NOTHING!

I wholeheartedly agree with everything said here. The overall feeling of wellness can be addicting. And that's a good addiction to have. Getting on the bicycle and pedaling 70 miles rocks.

hey is there any way to link, well, normal pages to here, randy?

[The Matt]

I work out sans music. I suppose listening to I'm a Pentecostal and I'm Gonna Dance My Troubles Away would pump me up, but alas, no cds of either.

Have you tried pasting the link in the message box? It might automatically link it...

Ugh...crunches and pushups tonight. Any of you know any ab workouts that don't require equipment?
