Sunscreen

I never used to care about applying sunscreen to myself during outdoor activities. I landscape during the summers for the last three years of college and never used sunscreen. I went to Cancun Mexico this summer and I then is when i began to think of how important this process was. If you would go outside at all you would need to apply and it was weird to have to remember every time because I never used to put it on. The affects of not using this are very serious. This will cause sun cancer later on in life and lead to unexpected bad news. You should always apply some when you will be in the outdoors doing any activity.

Muscular Strength

It depends on what you are looking for in a workout but there are two big questions to be answered. Would you rather lift heavy weight for less times or lift lighter weight for more. If you want to be cut and have it show then you are going to want to do more repetitions and less weight than heavy weight less times. A strong man competition would have all the men doing heavy weights for maybe only two or three times so the workout including more repetitions would do no good to these competitors. Personally I changed the two types in to one, meaning I will change it up from time to time. I want to look good, but also have the strength to lift heavier weights. I also like to be conditioned and be able to lift a weight for ten to fifteen times.

Eating Healthy

I think the best way to eat right is to proportion your meals. Instead of starving yourself through two meals a day and then at night you are starving and eat unhealthy before bed time. If you eat small amounts throughout the day and keep eating you will keep your metabolism ruining and burning. Since you only eat a small amount by the next time you go to eat you already burnt off the previous meal. One thing that is tough is in the beginning, the small amounts. every time i ate I would not feel full and want to eat more. I would have to keep strict and not eat any more. after a week or two of eating small meals you get used to it and if you do eat a lot in one sitting you get more full than you used to and feel sick. I feel your stomach gets used to small meals and will get accustomed to it.

Running/Jogging

I have been jogging a lot lately to try an get into shape for my own health. Also I have been mountain biking a good bit and want to get in shape to make it easier to ride the trails. Each day so far is a different day while running. I am running the same loop each time so far and it is very close to 5 miles. My legs will be different each time meaning one day they are sore and it is tough to run while others are easier. I am looking forward to the day my legs are used to the running and I have no problem walking the next day.
