  4. You have only one body • Do they do body transplants yet? • Do you know anybody struggling with their health? • Do you know anybody that has died, due to health related problems? • How is your family health history? • Did you know you are only in control of a third of your health?

  5. Motivation • You have to find your own reason to train • Family • Friends • Personal appearance • Weight control • Health • Energy level • Job proficiency

  6. Organization is the key to success • Routine • Goals • Schedule • Contingency plan • Variety • Keep it simple • Keep it convenient • Keep it fun

  7. Not a diet, a lifestyle change • Diet dos • Graze • Eat when you are hungry • Fruit is natures candy • Nuts are natures chips • Go organic • Salads are not just for little skinny girls

  8. Not a diet, a lifestyle change • Diet don'ts • Don’t eat when you are board • Food is not for comfort • Fast Food doesn’t exist • Low fat doesn’t mean no fat • Processed foods are chemicals • Don’t eat until you are full • Don’t starve yourself

  9. It never stops • Fluid intake • H2O • Water down your sport drinks • Energy drinks are not a substitute • Find what refreshes you, stick with it • Before, While, After….IT NEVER STOPS

  10. Pre-Workout Nutrition • 150-300 calories • 1 hr before workout of an hour or more • Mostly carbs, w/ some protein

  11. Not a destination, a journey • Workouts • High impact • Low impact • Weight training • Minimum of 30 mins. a day solid cardio • Pre-workout nutrition • Get out of your COMFORT ZONE!!!! • Get a buddy or get music

  12. Not a destination, a journey • Recovery • Eat something within 30 min • Stretching is not for before or after a workout, it is for before AND after sleep • Bouncing is BAD • Warm up • Warm down • If it hurts, ICE IT and ELEVATE IT • Recovery is part of your workout, not if you have time

  13. Foot Drills • Prevent Injury, strengthen lower legs • Toes pointed inside (pigeon) • Toes pointed out (duck) • Outside of foot • Inside of foot • On heels • Backwards on toes • Minimum of twice a week, after runs

  14. Underrated…The most important • Rest/Sleep • 5 to 8 hours every 24 hours • Sleep in a bed • Quiet and restful • Don’t eat at least an hour before bed • Sleep in every now and then • Drunk sleep is not REST
