The Naked Truth About Fitness

Be Open and Be Honest...Here's one of the greatest misconceptions about being fit-it's all about the time you put in at the gym or running through your local neighborhood. The naked truth about fitness is first being honest with yourself that you have to commit to living a healthy and fulfilling live. Secondly you have to be honest enough to figure out your strengths and weakness when it come to working out and eating healthy.
Sure Liz, it's easy for you to say because you are fit...Well here's the naked truth about that- it takes work- hard work on my part but I've learned to condition my mind, body and soul that this is the lifestyle that I was designed to live. I often say that my body is my temple so I don't want to defile it with being unhealthy either physically or spiritually. I work to be fit because I've discover "The Naked Truth about Fitness."
Truth is...when you can look in the mirror naked and have that one-on-one conversation to either decide to change or stay the same- then and only then will all the work matter. Bottom line- at the end of the day you have to love you for who you are and like the journey you are about to embark on.

Workout Tip: Truth is you can loose just as much weight by controlling what you eat, but to promote a healthy body incorporating cardio and strength training into your life can make the difference between developing secondary health conditions.

CARDIO WORKOUT: Try walking for 30 to 40 minutes on the treadmill doing a elevated brisk walk. Allow yourself to work up to a moderate pace where your heart-rate is raised and reach the max elevation you can tolerate...You want to be able to comfortably lean forward and manuever the hills. After the time has elapsed...do at least 3 minutes on zero elevation for a cool down. Remember to stretch and drink plenty of water.
