tuesday fitness tip

Esta es la foto "before"

Hoy les dejo cinco comidas que pueden reemplazar las barras de proteína:

Dried Figs
They take top fiber honors for dehydrated fruit. "Figs will give you slow-burning energy to see you through a workout," says Cynthia Sass, M.P.H., R.D., a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association. They're also loaded with potassium, the muscle-repair mineral.

Sunflower Seeds
Buy them unhulled and you'll get a mini tongue-and-lip workout trying to pop them open. The tiny seeds also flex some surprisingly large protein muscle--5 grams (g) per half cup.

Soft-Serve Ice Cream
"The chief ingredient in hard ice cream is saturated fat. In soft serve, it's milk, which has more whey protein and fewer fat solids," says Sass.

Frozen Waffles
"Whole-grain toaster waffles have a near-perfect balance of complex carbohydrates, fiber, protein, and unsaturated fats," says Sass. The blend will boost your energy without causing crash-and-burn blips in your blood-sugar levels--a useful quality in any snack.

Chocolate Milk
A University of Washington study found that drinks that blend carbohydrates and protein, such as chocolate milk, are nearly 40 percent more effective than protein alone at helping your muscles repair themselves and grow after a workout.

También recomendamos: el cross-training es genial.

Te ayuda a buscar otras cualidades desde el segundo deporte y ayuda a combatir el aburrimiento, el enemigo #1 de cualquier plan de salud. Por ejemplo: nadar y jugar al fútbol; gimnasio y rugby; ir a correr y surfear, etc.

Fijate de siempre hacer dos deportes que usen el mismo tipo de esfuerzo: fuerza, velocidad o resistencia. Así aprovechás tu entrenamiento en un deporte al hacer el otro. De nada sirve tener una impresionante resistencia aeróbica si estás jugando al basket donde es necesario hacer esfuerzos medianos durante períodos relativamente cortos. Tus enormes biceps del gimnasio son muy prácticos si tenés que participar de un scrum, pero para correr una maratón no es muy cómodo cargar con esos kilos de más.

In its most general meaning, physical fitness is a general state of good physical health. A physically handicapped person's body may be physically fit (healthy), though its ability is likely to be less than optimum.

Physical fitness is a result of regular physical activity, proper diet & nutrition, and proper rest for physical recovery within the parameters allowed by the genome.

Physical fitness is often divided into following types:

* Flexibility
* Cardiovascular endurance
* Muscular strength & endurance
* Body Composition
