Ocala Karate and Fitness

  Hello everyone,

   I just wanted to go over some of our many different Programs that are available to everyone here at Ocala Karate & Fitness, along with just a few of the many benefits that are associated with each one.

   First off, with the Hollidays just around the corner everyone is going to have to start paying attention to what we are eating.  Unless your already actively exercising on a routine basis, this is something EVERYONE needs to pay close scrutiny too. 

Holliday Food

We’re soon to be getting bombarded by every diet plan on the market.  With the New Year around the corner, your going to begin hearing, and seeing on TV, radio, internet, or bookshop every diet plan on the planet.

   Now I know that your going to hear about all the success rates that these plans have, but what you have to ask yourself is this.  Do you really want to go on some extreme diet, even though they will all tell you that they are not, and half starve yourself not of only food, but of all the daily nutrients that your body really needs?

Do you really want to have to watch everything to the point that you can’t eat ANY Carbs, or ANY Protein, or ANY fat ! !  I don’t know about you but that sounds like a ton of work, and not very much fun either.

 The truth is this.  Exercising 3x per week for a min of 20 mins per session will provide better results than any of these diets.  Now this does require you to eat sensibly though.  But I when I say sensible, I mean to use common sense.  Try to cut down on your calorie intake.  Try to stay away from fried and fatty foods. 

   Or better yet, if you try to use a diet and combine it with exercise you will see results even quicker.  But the key here is you have to exercise.  Exercise not only burns more calorie’s, but it it makes you stronger.  It makes your heart healthier and will allow you to live longer.  It will help your joints, and range of motion.

You will notice big changes in almost every attribute with your body.  As you get stronger, you will feel better about yourself.  And this is no trick.  This is no fancy diet plan that “Researchers have developed”  This is something that we have always know.  The human body was designed to work.  When it does not, it literally begins to  fall apart.

Staying Healthy

  So we have to make up our minds now.  Do we want to spend our final days confined to a body that seems to be broken and only continues to get worse every year, or do we want to do something about it while we can?   And we’re only talking about 20 mins per day.  The amount of time it takes you to drive across town in traffic.

   Our future as a country and culture depends on us to make this change.  Through technology we have been granted things that our grandparents thought would never be available.  But the flip side to that is how much easier it has made our life style.  Too easy. 

  Our lifestyle has become so easy that it is now having negative effects on us.  So make the choice now ! !  Quit looking at those people that you call or stigmatize as health nuts as being crazy.  They have made the choice to live healthier and longer than all the others. 

Staying Fit

We all know now what smoking does to us.  It Kills ! ! Because of this people have dropped the habit, and it seems less and less people are smoking.  Well guess what.  Eating a horrible diet with no EXERCISE is killing us too ! !  It’s no different.  And do you know what the really crazy thing is?  It is way, way more difficult to stop smoking than it is to get into an exercise routine. 

  If people can quit smoking everyday, then EVERYONE can start exercising.  So make the choice now and live to see your grandchildren. Wait, don’t just plan on seeing your grandchildren.  Plan on enjoying them ! !

                                           More to come on this subject soon.

                                                                          Yours in health
