How to avoid the Flu

As most of you know I have been down and out all week with the flu and boy it is as bad as they say it is. This is perfect for this weeks newsletter, I would like to talk about flu prevention! You can not stop the flu virus from hitting you but you can take plenty of precautions to slow the flu down and get over it much faster. The first preventative method is pretty obvious, make sure you wash your hands immediately after every workout. The gym is full of all different types of germs and bacteria, so avoid touching your face while in the gym. A second preventative method is eat a sound diet. Eating properly has many great effects for your body but all that aside, eating a diet full of fruits and vegetables will build a strong immune system which will keep you strong! Two staples of my diet are green tea and sweet potatoes both are prime for fighting the flu virus. Green tea contains powerful antioxidants which help fight off bad cells in the body. I recommend at least One glass per day (please keep in mind that green tea contains caffeine, so if your sensitive to caffeine look for decaffeinated). Sweet potatoes are another great food, sweet potatoes are loaded with Vitamin A which help fight off free radicals in the body also! These free radicals cause harm to our body and causes us to get sick. The third preventatives is exercise. Exercising regularly builds a strong immune system. Exercise can help to fight many other different types of sickness. Living a healthy lifestyle has so many other benefits other then just looking good! Despite living a healthy life there is still a chance that you can still get the flu. If you happen to get flu remember to stay hydrated. Drink plenty of liquids, its very easy to get dehydrated while being sick.

How to determine how many calories you need

Hello everyone, So little update first, I finished the little home gym I set up. Now I will be able to do some detailed workout demonstrations and other cool new videos! I already filmed a couple but here are the first two: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtvdtkEhXP4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sJjbXuP6WE Hope you all enjoyed that little video! I also wrote a article on my site about the importance of fishoil to help speed up body composition change. You can find that here: http://www.antbevfitness.com/freearticles.html So for this newsletter I want to discuss how many calories do you need per day to lose weight? This one of those questions I get often, so here is a general way to figure it out. Again you need to remember that every person is different and that the answer you come up with here might not be 100% accurate but it is a good estimated start. Step 1: You need to first calculate your Bodies resting calorie burn amount...you can find that here http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/ Step 2: You need to figure out your activity level, basically how you would classify your daily day of activity...choose 1 below Sedentary (desk job) 1.2 Moderately active (workout 1-3x per week) 1.4 Active (4-5 workout per week) 1.7 Very Active (Job that is not sedentary such as a mailman or construction worker and works out 4or more times per week) 1.9 Step 3: Multiply your BMR from step 1 with your activity level from Step 2 Step 4: In order to lose about 1lb of pure body fat subtract 500 from the number from step 3 Thats it...thats how simple it is to figure out how many calories you would need to lose body fat Heres Myself for example Step 1: 2050 calories burned per day Step 2: Activity Level 1.7 Step 3: 2050 x 1.7= 3485 or round up to 3500 Step 4: 3500-500= about 3000 calories per day to lose 1lb of fat! These numbers can be tweaked to each individual AND PS for my clients....I do this all for you and customize it further ;) Hope you found that informative and that it answered some of your goals! Please remember to share my page so we can grow my newsletter and my new site. The more it grows the more info I can pass along to you guys!!! Thank you everyone...I will leave you all with a quote to motivate you "A great physique is 60% training and 80% diet. Yes that adds up to 140%, because that's what you should be giving it. Change the inside, and the physique will follow". Until Next week Stick to your goals, Anthony Client Highlight of the week Male Client: An older gentlemen that I train (61years old) squatted 225lbs for multiple reps breaking parallel each rep!

Newsletter

Hello Everyone, I want to first take the time out to say thank you for joining my newsletter. I will be doing this newsletter weekly so your feedback is greatly appreciated! So its the third week of January and where are you with your new years resolutions? This is the point where I see people drop off. I really urge you to STICK WITH IT! Remember bodyfat is hard to lose as your body does not want to get rid of fat. Fat is an easy tissue for your body to maintain. Its in fact that its harder for your body to maintain being lean. Remember 80% of what we see in the mirror is based off your nutritional habits so if your not happy with the way you look you really need to reevaluate your daily day of eating. If you set a goal to lose 20lbs and you have not lost that 20lbs yet, do not get discouraged. You are constantly fighting your body, this is a fight I can help you win! The point of making a resolution is to take yourself to the next level, giving up would not bring you to that next level. So whatever your doing to help you get to your goals....STICK IT OUT...You can do it, I believe in each and every one of you!
