Why did you start fitness training?

I enjoy following a healthy and active lifestyle that enables me to feel both mentally and physically fit!

What type of workout and diet program do you follow?

Muscular strength/endurance:

I workout each muscle group every 5-8 days

Variety is the key to a successful weight training program (i.e. I constantly change my program- number of set or reps, speed of reps, different exercises, etc.)

Cardiovascular Endurance:

I do 30-60 minutes of cardio, 6 days per week

Variety! Each day I perform a different cardio activity (bike, aerobics, powerwalking, etc.)

This shocks my body and produces better results

Flexibility:

I always stretch after every workout and I hold each stretch for 20-60 seconds

Fitness Routine:

After each cardio session I perform 1 full fitness routine

Diet Program:

I always focus on being as healthy as I can be

My golden rules are:

Drink lots of water
Eat six small meals per day
Each meal should contain:

Protein – 20 – 40 grams (chicken turkey, seafood, powder)

Carbohydrates – 20 – 40 grams (fresh fruits & veggies, multi-grain oatmeal, brown rice and pasta)

Fat – 0 – 5 grams (extra virgin olive oil, flaxseed oil, EFA's)

Stop eating 2 hours before bed
Take a good quality multivitamin

Rest:

Take at least 1 day off per week

Sleep 8-9 hours per night
