In order to reap the benefits of ongoing health, fitness needs to be a lifelong commitment. This can be a daunting thing for those who want a quick fix, but it highlights the importance of choosing a mode of exercise and a nutrition plan that you enjoy and that is geared towards your specific goals.
Starting with today’s post on exercise, I will note my simple rules for creating a custom exercise and nutrition plan focused on ensuring long-term adherence. I have tried to fuse what we are taught in the texts and what I have learnt through practical application and experience in what has worked best for my clients. I hope these suggestions are of some use to you.
