The Protein Review

The other day I was reminded of something that I used to do that was holding back my progress. It was the assumption that I already knew everything that I needed to know to stay fit and healthy.

This is the worst mentality you can develop within yourself as it completely collapses all of your learning potential.

====================
Who Counts Calories Anyway?
====================
The internet gurus love to rave about how important it is to keep track of calories consumed. I’ve never counted calories, I couldn’t care less about it….. and I’m not fat.
I think the whole calorie thing is crap. Just watch what you eat and control the amount of food you eat. Is it that hard to do?

Fads come and go and the latest one I’ve seen is Bodyweight Exercise Programs. Let me show you that you don’t need to pay money to learn how to exercise at home for free. The thing with bodyweight exercise is that you won’t grow huge muscles. You will develop great health and fitness and, if you eat right, you can get lean. But you won’t look like your favourite actor or some secret agent. You’ll just look like you, but in a healthy way…

Active Recovery Training is rarely talked about… or thought of. I guess most of you will get by without it, but it really can make a difference to your overall health. You won’t be young forever, by starting now you can lay a foundation for excellent health and wellness in your future. Active Recovery Training doesn’t have to be time consuming. You can see by the example how well it can fit into your day.

Relaxation techniques are excellent for stress relief as well as coming down from a hard training session. There’s two strategies that I think provide the most value for what we do. One is purely relaxation and the other is a form of meditation…

HEY!!! You’re strong… but guess what? NOBODY CARES!
=====================================
It’s true. People notice your looks but they don’t notice your strength. What’s your mission? Why are you training? Why are you doing this?

Another dodgy placebo supplement hits the industry… well, they’ve been around for a while actually. In recent times their popularity seems to have soared. Most people are afraid of steroids, QUITE RIGHTLY TOO. But they think that these things will do the same and supplement companies cash in on this all around the world.

=============================
Do You Take Your Knowledge For Granted?
=============================
It amazes me how little people know when it comes to health and fitness. But… is it their fault? How much education do we really have in our society. Too often we are told to “play it safe” otherwise we might get hurt. People are left with a void and just don’t know what to do. Just the other day I was helping a guy who had never done squats before. It made me realize how little people know…. I have a mission now, that’s why I created this site.

The biggest failure in weight loss is the failure to start. The biggest losers are the non-starters. There’s always a reason, there’s always an excuse. But it comes from fear. The hardest part of anything is starting but some fear what will happen when they start. Are they scared of success??? Are they afraid it will be uncomfortable? Their fear is irrational and their lack of starting is the biggest failure they will experience in life.
