In the eight-plus years Solid Rock Personal Training has been in business, we have helped literally thousands of people of all ages and body types in the Norman and Moore areas get in the best shape of their lives.
Our approach is simple, but not easy. Most join a fitness program thinking it will solve all their issues. This is a great first step, but there are two missing pieces. The other two pieces to round out a well-thought-out training program are nutrition and accountability. Fitness, Nutrition and Accountability are the three pillars we use to transform lives every day.
The pillar I specifically want to talk to YOU about today is Nutrition. This is the hardest thing for most people to master. We understand that there is so much confusing information in the marketplace, so we want to take the guess work out of it for you. The simple answer, ultimately, is that good (and bad) health can be laid at the feet of one’s daily habits.
Here are the four habits involving nutrition that the healthiest people on earth have mastered:
1) Drinking half one’s body weight in ounces of water daily
2) Eating whole nutrients (fruit, vegetables, fish and lean cuts of meat)
3) Controlling portion sizes
4) Following the 90/10 rule.
The 90/10 Rule
On average, most people partake of three meals a day, or 21 meals a week. Under this rule, you may partake of two meals weekly that are not whole-nutrient meals (aka “cheat meals,” such as chips & guac, pizza, cake, alcohol).
If you are serious about changing your life, you must learn to play the long game instead of seeking instant gratification. If you commit to these four habits and execute them consistently, you are going to see your health change drastically. You will start to drop body fat and your energy is going to go up significantly.
If you want to turn it up a notch, add strength training three days per week and walk approximately 10,000 steps daily. This will also set you up for a better quality of life in your later years.
Here at Solid Rock Personal Training, we are on a mission to help transform our community to LOOK GOOD, MOVE WELL & FEEL GREAT! We even offer a free initial workout session to get you started!
