Perfect Conditioning and Eating Habits to Get Into Shape

What to Eat.

The key ingredients for staying in shape are lots of excercise and most importantly eating right.

Breakfast- The most important meal of the day. Eat something light, preferably something that will get you until lunchtime. Eat maybe a bowl of healthy cereal with a side of mixed fruit and a nice glass of orange or apple juice. Some good fruits would be just about any of them, especially bannanas because of their potassium, a mineral which helps to control blood pressure and reduce the risk of stroke, and 15% of our recommended daily Vitamin C. Maybe even an apple which also has potassium and also boron, and is an essential element that helps make bones healthy and strong.

Lunch- For lunch make a sandwhich and a healthy but tasty side like carrots. You can make any choice of sandwhich, but probably shouldn’t put mayo if your a mayo person because it is fattening. Your sandwhich should be on whole wheat bread, put a meat of any kind on it so you get some protein, lettuce, sliced tomato, and cheese if you like. For a side have maybe some carrot sticks or a bag of cherry tomatoes, anything small and you love to eat, and only if its healthy too!

Dinner- At dinner you might want to eat light if your not going to be active afterwards because all the food with sit in you. If you are going to excercise of be active afterwards then eat until you feel satisfied. For dinner you could eat something like grilled chicken and bell peppers or whole wheat macaroni with light pasta sauce. If you are in the mood for some meat make sure its grilled and not fried because fried foods will ruin the purpose of eating healthy.

What to Do.

First- Go somewhere like a football field, some where big and open. If you can go to a football field then just do all of this running around the block or your neighborhood. Make sure to bring some water or possibly gatorade, it’s always important to stay hydrated, a small snack if you get the munchies, bring a stopwatch of some sort, running shoes, extra clothes, and a towel if you would like. 

Second- Stand at the end of the end zone, start your stopwatch and do hopping suicides to the 50 and back, 45 and back, 40 and back, do that until you get down to the 5 yard mark. When you get to the 5 stop the stopwatch. They key of the stopwatch is after you are done doing the second step, that time is now how long you have to do each other excercise individually for. If at home run around the block four or five times and use that time.

Third- Soon after determining what your time is and getting a sip of your beverage, go running up and down the bleachers until you have done it for your set time. If at home use stairs and don’t stop until the time is reached.if

Fourth- Have a friend hop on your back and run around the field with them until the time is met. Do the same at home.

Fifth- Back to the bleachers! jump up to the top and run down to the bottom. Hopping every three steps and running down normally for half of your time. Do the same at home.

Optional, 1- Get a wheel barrel and put something heavy in it or another person and run around until the time is met.

Optional, 2- Get a wheel barrel without a wheel, put your friend or something heavy in it. Then get something like a jump rope and have them hold the ends and you put the loop round your waist and drag them along a field (preferably grassy) until the time is met.

At Night.

Easy excercises

1- Do about 50 sit-ups a night and gradually increase the amount per week or month (whichever you feel comfortable.)

2- Do about 10 push-ups a night and gradually increase the amount per week or month (whichever you feel comfortable.)

3- Get a good nights sleep for the next day.

It takes dedication to keep doing all these routines weekly and staying fit.

Just eat right everyday, do the major work outs 1, 2, or 3 times a week, do the “At Night” every night and you will be in great shape before you know it!
