Eating for Fitness

Georgia Personal Training makes a difference in the lives of those we serve

There are so many challenges we are all faced with. Often we reward ourselves by indulging in food and drink that is so pleasing that it makes us feel better about the difficulties we are faced with. While this is common and understandable, the long term effects of eating foods that are on the list of harmful, sometimes make the the short term feeling of pleasure turn to regret. Georgia Personal Training teaches and encourages the practice or displine of Eating for Fitness.

Our owner, Matt Lein, who himself is a certified and talented personal trainer, has summed it up well in a previous article. When it comes to nutritional self discipline, he and his wife, Co – Owner Brandi Lein, are as dedicated as they come. Their ability to stay true to a healthy nutritional diet helps them to educate and encourage their clients to do the same.

“God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference.” Whether you are religious or not, this statement has special meaning for everyone because we all struggle with the need to change ourselves. And, that includes how we look and feel. While we can not change everything that impacts us, we can make changes to ourselves like the shape of our bodies. All it takes is focus and commitment.

Honoring Your Body

Your body is your temple. It means that it is a place you should hold in high esteem. While we obviously do not want to worship ourselves, we do want to care enough about ourselves to take care of our bodies so we can enjoy a long and happy life.

There are many ways you can honor your body. The most important way is by eating healthy and opting to avoid taking in large portions and reducing our sugar, fat, alcohol, and caffeine intake. Another way is to exercise regularly and continue to move throughout the day. The worst thing we can do to our bodies is to have a sedentary lifestyle because it does not give our body, including muscles, the movement necessary to perform well. There is a saying that if you do not use it, you lose it, and that goes with flexibility, balance, stamina, and coordination. Those all go away after just a few months of sitting all day and night.

Move and Stay Positive

Another way is to exercise regularly and continue to move throughout the day.

There is a saying that if you do not use it, you lose it, and that goes with flexibility, balance, stamina, and coordination. Those all go away after just a few months of sitting all day and night.

Lastly, it is important to stay positive in the face of all the roadblocks and mishaps that life throws at us. There is stress on a near daily basis and unexpected things that can go wrong. Rather than sweat the small stuff, focus on the small and large gains that you make by changing your lifestyle for the healthier.
