RE: Exercise Routine Do's & Don'ts for the Week: Concentrate on Form and Maximum Repetitions

What about 67 year-old men? (kidding in this of course) BUT good thinking for the mostpart. Perhaps I'd add that there are some of us wearing Zappos shoes who don't even put them to the test, much less get to the gym. So, I like that easy push you give me to workout without cheating, cheating myself.

Living healthy should begin at home. Healthy habits are ought to be instilled in a child during the childhood days. Teaching children as well as adults the importance of a healthy diet is one of the things that we should practice. A healthy habit when infused in oneself from the early years, only helps in the overall child development and turns him/her into a responsible individual. In like manner, exercise is also a good habit to be practice everyday to prevent illness. These are only a few ways on how to live healthy. Once a person is healthy then he/she is spared withdrawing bank savings for medical purposes.

All of these exercising techniques are true. People want to do different tedious exercises without thinking first of their capability to perform these activities. They don't even know how to breathe properly while performing their exercise routines.

I love doing the mountain climbing with friends. The only thing I hate about the mountain climbing is aching body afterwards.

RE: Living Healthy on a Budget: Stock Your Pantry

I like stocking up on organic foods from bulk item stores (e.g., Costco, Sam's Club) b/c it's a lot cheaper than most stores who sell organic produce. Local farmer's markets are great as well b/c produce is usually cheap and you're helping the little guy who's making his/her world a better place through organic farming.

RE: Workout Tip of the Week: The Power of Mini Meals

Well, think of your body as a fire - it constantly needs to be fed in order to keep on burning. The best thing is to have a good Breakfast, then three hours later have a snack, Lunch, then have another snack around 3pm and then dinner. A snack should be around 150-200 calories and I suggest cottage cheese, yogurt, an apple or any fruit of your choice and a slice of wheat bread, almonds, or a granola bar. So based on a 2000 calorie diet you should have 300-500 calories for each meal and 150-200 per snack.

Your best bet for weight loss, especially because you are working out is to not cut calories by too much. You can always look online and find a calories per day calculator to help calculate the amount of calories that you need to eat in order to maintain your weight, then it is suggested to take 500 calories off of that if your goal is to lose weight. And because your body needs so much energy to build muscle, cutting your calories by too much will actually prevent you from building muscle.

So, just looking at your daily diet, it seems like you're cutting your caloric intake by too much. So snacking will help you intake a few more calories and give your body the energy it needs to cut the fat and build more muscle. So if anything snacking on an apple or some almonds will help you accomplish your goals faster and healthier.

Hope this helps.

I keep hearing eat several small meals throughout the day, but what, exactly, constitutes a small meal? A 350 cal Healthy Choice Meal? A pkg of Starkist Tuna? A bag of Carrots? A sandwich?

Just my protein shake (includes a banana, 1/2 cup oatmeal, 4oz 2% milk) after my morning workout, a sandwich with an apple for lunch and a Healthy Choice Meal for dinner puts me at 1363 cal, 202.5 carbs, 28.95g fat, 80g protein 1600 sodium.

I honestly want to know what a small meal constitutes. I am already at a slow creep towards weight loss, which is fine, but seems like any more of any THING is going to wreck what I am accomplishing.

Thoughts?
