Fitness Forecast

By Mac Dodds

 

I know a lot of you like to workout indoors or out and planning your week of exercise can be pretty daunting. Well it's one more hurdle that can make exercise just a little harder, or an excuse you can use to get out of exercising. 

 

So. . . I am going to be doing something called the fitness forecast for the east bay area every week and you are welcome to check in every week and plan out your exercise routine for the week with me. 

 

The cool thing is, even if you don't live in the immediate area, you can take some of the ideas and fitness concepts I provide and use them in your area. 

 

I hope you can help by sharing this with your active friends and use it to get healthier, more active and get more out of life.

 

Live Good,

 

Mac Dodds

Bone Broth The New Kale?

By Mac Dodds

Have you heard of this popular beverage/meal that are using as a healing aid? It's essentially a broth made with bones of animals, water and vegetables. The collagen released in the cooking process is supposed to help joints heal as well as provide other health benefits.

 

Here is a link to more on this new trend that healthy people are adopting.

Quick Workout

By Mac Dodds

 

When you need to workout but you don't know what to do. Think of these 3 basics. I call them the big 3, and between them you can cover all of your bases as far as muscles are concerned.

 

Push-ups

 

Pull-ups

 

Squats or Lunges.

 

Modify them anyway you know to make them harder or easier to adjust to your level.

 

Have Fun.

 

Live Good,

It tells you exactly how much and what exercises to do to get ready leading up to the big event. Remember that the race is almost 13 miles with obstacles so training on time and the right way is very important. Click Contact Mac to get a copy of the first 4 weeks of training for yourself.
