Smith Reserve in Hawthorn (just off Glenferrie Road) at 9am. Please contact us - 1300 13 41 10 - first to tell us that you're coming along. We want to be sure to bring enough supplies.
Hope to see you there!! Cheers, Adam. Saturday, September 16, 2006
Have you ever been sucked in by one of those infomercials claiming to have to answer to everything from dry skin to the meaning of life? Don't they just drive you mad?

Do you remember what you ate for breakfast today? How about yesterday? Last week?
How many chocolate bars have you consumed in the last month? Do you drink too much coffee? These are some questions that are fairly difficult to answer through simple recall. This is where the food diary comes in. And no, it's not something that benefits only those who are trying to drop a few kilos. It is important for anyone interested in obtaining (or maintaining) elite health & fitness to know what they are eating. It is even more important to know the effects food has on you throughout the day. Do you sometimes feel low on energy, bloated, have a rumbling stomach? Ever wondered what caused it? Maybe it's a particular food. By recording what you eat and how you feel throughout the day, you may be able to recognise which foods don't agree with you. Then you can take measures to fix the problem. Keeping a food diary has many other benefits: - it indicates dietary habits that you may not even know exists (like the regular 7am coffee) - it shows just how much junk can creep into your diet (Krispy Kreme donuts anyone?) - it shows if you are eating too much or too little - it shows if you are leaving too much time between meals So, what's stopping you from keeping a food diary? Try it for a week or two and see if you don't learn something new about yourself.
I am often astounded by how long people will spend working out in a gym. They spend so much time talking and wandering around and stopping for a break that sessions often drag on for over an hour. In this time, some people don't even raise a sweat.
Now whilst I am not for a single minute suggesting that gyms aren't a nice place to be, surely there is somewhere else people have to get to...work, home, the pub? In the true pattern of keeping things simple, I propose that the vast majority of workouts should be short and sharp. Ramp up the intensity. Do the same exercise but do them against the running clock. In the most simple terms: go hard, then go home. |
