Exercise and Diet

Right...

I'd like to become Fitter, Stronger and have more Energy during the day.

I think that if I improve my diet, do gym-type exercise in my room and perhaps increase my cycling, I can achieve this.

Can anyone recomend any books or websites which have suggestions or guides either to diets or some sort of exercise reigeme? Anyone have any suggestions of their own?

I currently cycle to and from Uni every day, and do quite a bit of physical labour when I am there. (I'm building sets for Theatre at the moment)

Cheers,

Craig

healthy balanced diet. cut down on meat though as its bad for you, eat more fruit, veg and drink fruit juices. eat more organic stuff and stay away from hydrogenated fats.
a good 8 hours in the sack every night.
no binge drinking.
excercise doesnt have to be strenuous gym workouts, cardivascular stuff can be cycling as you are or walking. I would stick to cycling, very very good excercise indeed.

best of luck.

Meat is actually good for you.

I would say cut down on the carbohydrates like bread, pasta and rice etc... and also use normal butter (dairy) rather than stuff like flora which is made using vegetable oils, which are bad for you (our bodies find it hard to break them down....animal fat is more natural and would be better).

Obviously try an eat fruit and veg with your meals as well and make sure you drink lots of water, rather than fizzy stuff.

A the moment I am going to the gym 3-4 times a week and doing 30 minutes of cardio and about 20 minutes of weight training. It's all working, having a little muscle development. But I can't lose my belly, why? Cause I still eat and drink too much. But i'm physically fitter than I was when I was skinny. So I am not worrying too much. Smile
