This is Rich Ford your fitness expert, and welcome to my new blog, FordFitness1 "Fit Tips!" Every Monday morning, I'll be bringing you some of the latest tips on training, nutrition, health news, workout videos and more! Why do I do this? Because I care about YOU! Just like my clients, I want each and every one of you to, "have life, and have it to the full." You might be asking, "But Rich, what does, 'have it to the full' mean?" (Glad you asked!) Having a full life from a fitness aspect is not waking up with those aches and pains when you get out of bed. It means going up the stairs at work with energy and feeling strong, not feeling winded. It's about looking great in that favorite dress, t-shirt, or pants that sits in your closet and knowing you look and feel strong, toned and ready to go when you step out the door. That is what FordFitness1 is all about. We all have different reasons why we want to get in shape; and with me as your very own, 'blog trainer', want to help you reach your goals. You DESERVE to have the body and vitality that life can bring you. There's a saying, "All great journey's start with a single step." Let's help you on your journey starting today. Which brings me to my first blog topic: Nutrition
One question I always get from clients of mine is this: "Rich, I'm always on the go..is there a way I can stay on my nutrition program and NOT spend hours in the kitchen?" Hey, I know how they feel. Between classes, camps, clients, and kids..it can be a challenge to go through a busy working day and trying balance nutrition to keep the waistline slim and trim! Thank God for protein shakes and smoothies! They're easy, quick to mix, and can have you on your way though the day and still keep you on track in your food journals.
So here's some of my favs you can try out. Are you a Choco-holic? I got ya back with some great choices! Need a pick-me-up in the morning? Try the Cheerio Breakfast Shake (love the Honey-Nut with that one!) Check em' out and let me know what you think. Got some great ideas for shakes or smoothies? Write some of your favorites in the comment section...Always looking for new flavors! That's all for today...Happy Push-ups!
