Ashford University asked a critical question I could barely stop myself from talking. My assignment I turned in tonight: My current approach to exercise, nutrition, and overall health is maintaining a Certified Personal Trainer certificate and quarterly modules to maintain knowledge. I work out in the morning before breakfast, because this sets your metabolism on fire. I maintain a mixture of aerobic and anaerobic exercise, working abdominals and cardio daily, because this maintains rounded health. I eat a protein-centered breakfast, take a multi-vitamin and post workout supplements to help speed recovery, fruits, and vegetables and a protein drink for lunch good carb and protein for dinner, and a large very green salad before bed, this sets your metabolism on fire as well. Nutrition has many useful strategies that improve and maintain health, but twice as many that are faddish and stupid. For instance counting calories or diets that drop your calorie intake, the fact of the matter is that upon beginning a workout plan your calorie intake needs to increase in order to compensate for the excess calories burnt. The nutritional strategies I use are prioritizing foods for each meal and increasing protein intake. The key to success is prioritizing foods for each meal, when to eat the right type of foods, increasing protein intake to remain in a recovery phase, formulating a plan to achieve your planned goals, and maintain discipline to go beyond the first month of your new year’s resolution. Exercise can be broken into two categories, aerobic and anaerobic. I prefer to engage in bodybuilding, running, hiking, parkour, cross-fit, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, and Muay Thai. Anaerobic exercise improves physical strength, muscle memory, and muscular endurance where aerobic exercise improves cardio vascular strength. The strategies that I use for these forms of exercise are muscle confusion and overtraining. Muscle confusion is a strategy used to mitigate plateauing. Muscle confusion is achieved by planning a variety of workouts so to attempt to avoid plateauing. Plateauing eventually will occur from your body getting used to the same exercises, which is where overtraining comes in. Overtraining is a strategy used to push your body beyond its normal means in order to break through a work out plateau. Among the many benefits of a well-balanced diet and regular exercise lies increased neurological activity. Numerous reports and research supports the fact that increased exercise and a well-balanced diet can actually improve your memory, logical thinking, critical thinking, focus, and understanding. More research is conducted annually, but none of it derails the train of information supporting the benefits of a well-balanced diet and regular exercise.
