There is a great article about the SWAT workout that looks great. I am sure that anyone who tries this out is going to be able to trim fat and gain muscle.

Go Over there and check it out. ->The SWAT Fitness Plan

It is a circuit based plan that is designed to condition your entire body.

Conditioning isn’t about how many push-ups you can do,” says Orlando-based swat commander Tom Stroup. ‘It’s about preparing for everything else you do in life.” In his line of work that means anything from rappelling down office buildings to bailing out of speeding boats. For us civilians, being conditioned means we can lug a 70-pound backpack all day or skin up that powdery slope — and have energy left over when we’re finished. Stroup’s SWAT workout (swatworkout.com) builds cardiovascular and muscular strength in one intense 15-minute routine. Interval workouts burn calories faster than your average cardio workout, and the high reps tone muscles and abs.

Well it seems that my schedule and that of the trainer that I have used before are not going to mesh. So I think that I am going to take a stab at making up my own schedule and plan for the beginner stages. The beginner plans that I have read and seen over the years are not that complicated. Basically you use the beginner stages to train you muscles on how to workout and make the movements.

I am going to be hitting the gym 3 days a week, and like every other person out there I am going to pick Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Monday will be Chest and Biceps, Wednesday Back and Triceps and Friday will be Shoulders and traps.

You may have noticed that I am not doing legs. This is on purpose. What I didn’t mention is that I am going to be starting my running at the same time. I think that my legs are going to be sore already so there is no need to over train them.

As for the specific movements, I am not sure what I am going to do. It really is going to depend on what is busy at the gym when I go there. I am going to be doing as much free weights as I can.

For my running schedule I am going to get 3 days of this in too. I think that the best would be Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. I am not sure exactly what this is going to entail but I am sure I will figure that out easy enough. There are a lot of great websites for runners.

I am going to be doing my training in the mornings. This is a two fold reason. One is that I am getting up later and later and that means I get less done every day. The other is that the gym is usually packed in the evening after work and even later on into the evening. The morning however, it is nearly empty.

I am going to stick to this schedule for about 4 weeks. By that time I should be able to get into and talk to my trainer friend and set up a specific training schedule that will be tailored to my goals.

Being a healthy eater requires you to become both educated and smart about what healthy eating actually is.  Being food smart isn’t about learning to calculate grams or fat, or is it about studying labels and counting calories.

Healthy eating is all about balanced and moderate eating, consisting of healthy meals at least three times per day.  Healthy eaters eat many different types of foods, not limiting themselves to one specific food type or food group.

Eating healthy requires quite a bit of leeway.  You might eat too much or not enough, consume foods that are sometimes more or less nutritious. However, you should always fuel your body and your brain regularly with enough food to keep both your mind and body strong and alert.

A healthy eater is a good problem solver.  Healthy eaters have learned to take care of themselves and their eating with sound judgement and making wise decisions.  Healthy eaters are always aware of what they eat, and know the effect that it will have on their bodies.

When someone is unable to take control of their eating, they are also likely to get out of control with other aspects of life as well.  They could end up spending too much, talking too much, even going to bed later and later. 

You should always remember that restricting food in any way is always a bad thing.  Healthy eating is a way of life, something that you can do to enhance your body or your lifestyle.  If you’ve thought about making your life better, healthy eating is just the place to start.  You’ll make life easier for yourself, those around you, and even your family. 

It’s flu shot time again: Just a little jab’ll do ya and I hope that all of my readers that need one are getting one. The flu is something that can be VERY dangerous to those very young, very old, or with a depressed immune system.

So if you fall into any of those categories be sure to get out there and get your shot.

I just got back from vacation and I have a cold. I think that I got it when I was walking around in the rain, I was not going to stay inside on my vacation just because it was raining.

Anyway I think that my feet got wet and now I am paying for it. I have a sore throat and head cold. Now I am eating the foods that can be found in the article Food to Combat a Cold.

This is one of the things that I take serious, I am sure that one of the reasons that I got the cold in the first place is that I was not eating right the week before and the week of my vacation. So now I am trying to make up for it by eating as healthy and fresh as I can. I went to the market yesterday and bought apples, pears and grapes to snack on while I am at work. While I was there I also got some symptom relief stuff like ginseng etc.

I will not be going to the gym till I am feeling better so there is going to be a delay on my updates, but I will be sure to keep everyone up-to-date on what I am up to….
