FITNESS TIPS<br />
FOR THE<br />
MODERN DAY<br />
GENTLEMAN<br />

Winter is OVER, Spring is HERE and summer is<br />
on the way. It’s time to shed those pounds from<br />
the previous and ready yourself for your “ Summer<br />
Body”. We all have an idea of how we want<br />
that body to look, however we all don’t realize<br />
the amount of hard work that it will take to make<br />
it happen. First thing we must do is START NOW!!<br />
Here are a few Tips from some of the industries<br />
leading fitness professionals.<br />
Stop neglecting your body! Schedule your workouts<br />
the same way you schedule everything else.<br />
Your health is more important than anything<br />
your doing. If you get sick or too out of shape,<br />
those things won’t really matter anymore. Workout<br />
when you have your most energy so that<br />
your heart rate can hit that fat burning zone<br />
faster. Drink a lot more water, workout with your<br />
favorite music, or find a partner to workout with<br />
and hold each other accountable. Your daily intake/“diet”<br />
is a bigger<br />
part of your fitness<br />
battle; Make sure you<br />
eat clean, healthy<br />
meals and avoid all<br />
the dead, fat gaining,<br />
junk food. If your<br />
schedule is super<br />
tight; get some of your<br />
workout in and home<br />
before you get to the<br />
gym. Even if you get<br />
on 30 minutes in....<br />
GET IT IN!! Breathe<br />
and watch your posture.<br />

friend or someone<br />
who shares a common<br />
goal. It has to<br />
be someone who will<br />
hold you accountable<br />
for hitting your fitness<br />
benchmarks. Reward<br />
yourself when you do.<br />
Punish yourself when<br />
you don’t.<br />

“Technically” summer<br />
bodies are made in<br />
the winter, so don’t<br />
run from the cold<br />
weather. Start focusing<br />
on your summer<br />
body and use that<br />
anticipation to fuel<br />
your winter workouts.<br />
As summer approaches,<br />
reduce your carb<br />
intake and start a high<br />
intensity training program.<br />
This approach<br />
is great for obtaining a<br />
lean and defined body.<br />
This health and wellness<br />
journey takes a<br />
tribe. Find a dedicated<br />
accountability partner.<br />

Stretch! To increase<br />
strength and increase<br />
size, it’s a good idea to<br />
take 20/30 seconds in<br />
between sets to stretch<br />
your muscle. Stretching<br />
loosens tight<br />
muscles, allowing you<br />
to eventually increase<br />
the tension on those<br />
muscles. As you increase<br />
muscle tension,<br />
you increase muscle<br />
mass over time.Want a<br />
