Where do you go to when you enter your gym? The free weights? Machines? Treadmill? Aerobics? What about your diet. What are you eating? Does anything go or are you more restrictive?

For some people training and nutrition are a religion all there own. They are constantly aware of what they are doing when it comes to what they are doing with their bodies. They want to be the best that they can make themselves. The best thing about these people are that they are disciplined.

Starting about a week ago I began a very restrictive diet, no overeating, no snacking, no alcohol, and I have been eating a balanced diet with vegetables, fruits, and lean meats. Eating clean is something that I can feel my body adapting to. You have to be very disciplined to not snack when you are bored, and it takes real strength to get the salad when you are looking at the pizza.

It was also a week ago that I changed my workouts from strength training, to cardio and aerobic exercises. The first time I went running, I was shocked with how poorly I did. I ran about a miles and was winded. They say that it only take four days to lose your running endurance, and after two years of little cardio I was dying on the treadmill.

Since my one week of dieting and running, I can already see results. Last night I ran three miles strait at eight minutes a mile; I felt super accomplished, and far less dead, that I had in a long time. the healthy eating made it so my body was not hitting the same walls that I was in the past

There are lots of ways to change how your body is doing things. Mine was restrictive eating and cardio, I know others who will eat whatever they want but only they can only eat within a ten hour period. I know others who wont even work out but if they don’t eat fast food for a week then they lose weight and feel better. No matter how you want to switch it up it is good to reset and shock your body by changing what it is working with.
