Health is Wealth

Hello everyone! My name is Adriana Gil and this is my blog. I am 21 years old and I pride myself in being a relatively healthy individual. Our health is composed of things like exercise, diet, and many other things. By taking care of our body (or as I like to say--our temple) we can live long lasting lives. It is important to follow up with your doctor's visits, consume a well-balanced diet, and incorporate exercises on a weekly basis. I hope you learn more in-depth about how health really is wealth!

https://www.journalreview.com/stories/anytime-fitness-open-for-presales,126156People have a variety of options to choose from when it comes to selecting the right gym. Whether it’s your local Planet Fitness or YouFit, some ridiculously over-priced gym, or something in between. Personally, I have been a member at Anytime Fitness for over a year. Some of the amenities at my gym include: a 24 hour access key, a stair master machine, 2 bathrooms with private showers, and optional personal training packages. When it comes to signing up for the right gym it is important to keep in mind what your budget is, how far are you willing to drive, and whether or not 24 hours access is something you desire. Some things I enjoy about Anytime Fitness are the encouraging signs posted around the gym. It makes me feel motivated while I’m releasing endorphins!

The Nike Training app is available to iPhone and Android users. I have personally used this app, especially while we were in quarantine, to get effective at-home workouts. The exercises vary from yoga, weight training, high intensity interval training, and much more. All workouts come with a step-by-step video of an individual showing how to complete each exercise, including doing the proper form. Moreover, it will show you the reps or duration time. The app has a feature that allows you to track your completed workouts and it even shows what day you completed it and how long it took you to finish.

This is the official website that Personal Trainer, Zoe Rodriguez, created for individuals looking to get fit. On her website you can purchase her workout program(s) here, look at some of her client’s body transformations, and even download her app. Additionally, if you purchase one of the programs through her app you can get video demonstrations for how to properly execute the movements, as well as meal plans and a macro calculator. You can either pay annually, quarterly, or monthly. I have personally purchased an annual program from her app and I found her exercise set up to be useful especially if you are someone looking to grow your glutes. You can even buy some of her merchandise (fitness attire) from her website!

In this video, Kara Corey, a registered dietitian, gives her viewers an educational overview on how to eliminate decision fatigue. In the course of the video, she shares why meal prepping is important. She also provides some easy meal prep options like oatmeal for breakfast, slow cooked chicken breast for lunch, pineapple for a snack, and ground lean beef for dinner. Additionally, for each meal she provides a caption with the grams of protein, fats, and carbohydrates. Lastly, she recommends drinking flavored water whenever you feel you need something besides water. I found that after watching this video, I learned about some healthier recipes I can implement into my diet.
