Balance in life is quintessential and unnegotiable

Life, as in all things existing in this universe, are exposed to corrosive forces that ends inevitably in decadence, as time passes by. In the physics realm it is called entropy.
There are, nevertheless, ways to appease deterioration or prolong the well being and proper flow of vitality with nutrition and workout.
That is what this blog and videos exposed here are all about.

Many scientific studies show how daily physical exercise not only improves cardiovascular and muscle performance, but it also increments immunological and mental capacities.

A sedentary life of office work is no good. Nor it is to workout all day. The key is balance. Just as one would balance legumes with whole grains and fish meat with fruits; workouts aren't negotiable, they must be performed in a regular basis, along with intellectual and affectional activities.

Once arrived at a certain performance level, workouts must be performed no less than that standard in a frequent fashion.

Varied food must be ingested in order to maintain healthy functionality of the body and the mind. It doesn't matter that one ate a cod liver oil one day in a month, it is only when it is taken on a regular basis that the mechanisms by which it operates, are actually effectual.

Lower abs and full body workout with resistance bands

Resistance bands, also known as elastic bands, are used by many professional trainers to increment the resistance in certain movements when doing gymnastics, bodyweight training, yoga, stretching, sparring and whatnot. There are many advantages of doing exercises on nearby parks:

• Outdoor training allows better oxygenation
• It can be a great occasion to meet nature
• Sun bath(if it is a sunny day)
• If it is cold, the sweating is less
• Zero expenditure(other than the elastic bands and cloth wear off)
• Refreshing

The Following video shows 4 types of exercise. All done at maximum capacity(up until exhaustion):

1. Supine single leg pull (alternating)
2. Supine knees to chest
3. Supine opposite hand to foot
4. Mountain climbers

Weight lifting VS Bodyweight training.

There is doubt in most people starting a workout regimen, what to do, whether to concentrate on the gym or on a park doing bodyweight exercises.

The following is a list I have compiled for you to evaluate which one is more convenient depending on your needs:

Weight lifting	Bodyweight training
Muscle hypertrophy(muscle cell size increase)	Muscle endurance and definition
Mild cardiovascular enhancement	Excellent cardiovascular and respiratory enhancement
High expenses due to equipment rental/acquisition	No expense at all, one only needs the body
Gymnasiums generally have instructors	Unless hiring a personal trainer, the exercises are done alone
Travelling needed to where the equipment is	Most exercises can be done anywhere
Designed for specific muscle or muscle group	Best exercises are full body workout

My preference is of course bodyweight workout because I spend 0 money and I can decide when to do it, rather than to be limited to when the gym is open. Bodyweight workout is also a great resistance/endurance mind tester, because repetitions are much more than when using weights. I recommend using music, and if it is high intensity interval training to use especially timed songs to train in a more fun way.

Setting one's priorities

There are many aspects in one's life that may deter people from engaging in the most healty activities.

For example, work at the office is frequently given priority over spending time with family and friends out in the park. Both activities are healthy, but staying in the office, sitting in a chair, watching a computer screen for 8 hours and hurrying to finish tasks produces prolonged and unhealthy stress.

Ideally, people should stare at computer screens for no longer than an hour. Eye exercises must be done in order to avoid eye strain:


Dispose a glare at null.


Followed by a constant extreme movement of the eye ball to opposite directions. The following diagram shows the final positions from left to right to up to down. You can change the order as long as the one that follows is the opposite:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Doing such set of exercises 15 to 20 times for every break should help maintain eye health. Half a carrot per day is an excellent eye maintainer as well.

How often should people workout their full body depends on various circumstances:

• Amount of time available
• Space available
• Desired results
• Nutrition

All of the above concepts can be sacrificed by something else. And since health should be your priority in life, all of them should be accomplished no matter what.

If you can work less, even if that means a sacrifice in income or secondary resources, will allow exercise sessions to be executed every day.

If there is no space because the storeroom is full and a bunch of books you will never read are taking the living room space for stretching your whole body, it is time to throw the useless books into the paper recycle bin and place the kept books and souvenirs in the storeroom.

Results will only be obtained if a constant perseverance and execution of the exercises is maintained. Fad diets and occasional exercise routines do not work. Exercising and eating effectively entails a lifestyle reform, not a whim indulgence.
