    organic supplements

    I'm trying to make organic supplements and mostly vegan protein supplements one of the major themes of my workout regiment. i can say that i can feel the difference. it feels more holistic, and at the same time i am seeing major results. it might be because i go the gym every chance i get free time but that isn't what i'm trying to say. i want to give the simplest advice to those who are trying to get fit or get in even better shape than their already great or good shape.

    if you go to the gym 3 times a week, go 5 or more. make sure u get at least 20 grams of protein in ur body within 30 minutes of ur workout. use natural proteins if you can. in my experience creatine or whey protein can make ur body dependent on that source. build it naturally and ur progress will be there when you are forced to take extended absences out of the gym. make sure you constantly mix up ur workout so ur muscles dont get acclimated. that means have 2 work outs plans for each muscle alternating on days.

    watch ur calorie intake and ur calorie use in a day. get a pedometer if you need to my. my rule is on a slow day at least 10k steps. remember 3000+ is one pound of fat. also, the u get out of the food u put in ur body is what u get out of it. so eat organic and eat in moderate amounts.

    drink tons of water. if u drink enough water in a day and avoid processed foods and get enough sleep ur body will not need caffeine.

    keep this in mind, its all about pushing through barriers. dont feel like ur making progress if ur doing the same amount of cardio each time you go. keep making it challenging in small incremental amounts.

    yoga and stretching make a difference. if it wasnt for childs pose and downward dog i wouldnt be able to put that much stress on my core everytime i go.

    dont skip abs!!

    im sorry for the incomplete and random advice. it seems like theres alot more that im not giving away than i am putting out there. but it really comes down to this. envision what you want to accomplish and your body will start looking better. my goals mainly revolve around my basketball game but one of my goals was to put up 225 on the bench 10 times. i weigh 166/ 5'11". i dont carry extra weight around and have a smaller bone structure so that is a challenge. but because of that goal ive started making other goals in my work out as i noticed my progress very closely.

    i feel good, better than ever and it took a few months to start noticing changes. ive been working out for the last 6 years consistently off and on because of work or whatever but now that is built in to my daily routine its hard to keep me away from doing something.

    just keeping pushing urself.
