Staying in shape and being healthy

I was having a discussion with my former strength coach at Hammond High School, about how to stay fit. Thought I would share key points

Chauncey- What types of things keep you in shape?

Coach Bill Robinson- I try to eat the right things as well as have three square meals a day.  Staying active is the key, whether you take the stairs instead of the elevator or walk down the street to the store instead of driving, little things.

C - So i can assume that you don’t eat out much?

CBR- I try to stay away from fast food but other than that i will go out for the occasional meal at restaurant.  Many restaurants have alternative meals or different options based on nutrition.

C- Do you exercise?

CBR yes i work out about 2-3 times in a week

C And if u dont mind do you maintain a steady weight

CBR yes if i gain its because lifting and building muscle

C- what advise could you give to somebody trying to get in shape?

CBR- Create a regiment and stick to it,the internet is a wonderful resource if you dont know where to start. See what works for you and be consistent. 

i couldn’t agree more, anybody that has fought for anything knows this to be true
