3 ESSENTIALS

Nutrition, Rest, and Exercise
    It’s quite simple when you think about the order of importance. In a 24 hour period, nutrition flows through your system all 24 hours. It is also very important for you to get at least 8 hours of sleep in the same 24 hour period and most people who exercise, do so about 1-2 hours in the same 24 hour period. The point that I’m getting at is so many people exercise and train really hard, some to the point of over training, and wonder why they are not getting their desired results. These people have their priorities mixed up.
   You can workout and train as hard as you want to, but if you are not eating right and getting enough rest, your results are going to be minimal to none.  

Nutrition
   Whenever you put your body through a vigorous training regimen, you need a healthy nutrition plan to maximize your results. Water is your most important nutrient. It cleans and rinses toxins from your body. It also allows your kidneys and liver to function more efficiently, which allow your body to release fatty tissue. You also need a balance of proteins, carbohydrates, vegetables and fats.
          

Rest
   When you exercise, you are breaking down muscle tissue. It is similar to getting a bruise. The only way to allow this to heal is to rest it. That is the reason that you don’t work the same muscles everyday. After muscles are broken down they need time to recover and rebuild. Rest


Exercise
     Exercise is an essential element because it is how you structure your body. Exercising helps you to build muscle, which protects your bones, joints and ligaments. It lowers your cholesterol levels, speeds up your metabolism and burns fat. People who exercise are less likely to get heart disease, high blood pressure and other common illnesses.
