Flexibility And Stretching

Our body is a flexible machine. It needs to be flexible so we can pick things up from the ground, reach overhead or out in front for an object, and even scratch our own backs. Stretching is often neglected by people, especially at the end of a training session. The common reason... fatigue. And when stretches are done, they are often rushed through because we want to get it over with. This does not allow us to get the full benefits of stretching.

Zone Diet

I am currently on Day 6 of the Zone Diet. Unfortunately I can't determine whether it is helping me or not other than seeing my weight drop on the scale. I am nursing a cold so my overall production is less than normal. Still trying to keep up with the workouts at CrossFit Kingston with hopes to "sweat out" this cold.

I started off the Zone Diet by doing the prescribed 1:1:1 (carb:protein:fat) ratio with hopes of leaning up a bit and shedding a few pounds so I can build from there. After calculating my lean body weight and physical activity, I have to consume 5 block meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and 3 block meals for snacks. So the first few days were challenging with measuring, weighing, and determining what combinations of food to make.

New To Blogging

Well this is the first blog I have ever set up. I'm hoping to be able to share some helpful information that I read or discuss with others. I hope that this can be an informative site where people can obtain information on nutrition mostly. But I may have a few rants that may get posted. However, they won't be anywhere near as brilliant as Jon Gilson's of Again Faster.
