Exercise and Nutrition- The Perfect Combination
Combining a healthy diet and exercise routine may be one of the hardest things we will ever face when it comes to living a fit and healthy lifestyle. A properly designed exercise program helps manage your daily food caloric intake and a properly designed diet program gives you the nutrition you need to fuel your body during exercise as well as ensure proper recovery.
Dieting simply means eating healthy. You do not have to spend a lot of money or consume strickly salads. A healthy diet means eating the right foods in the proper amount. The three necessary macronutrients for a fit and healthy lifestyle are protein, carbohydrates, and fat. These three macronutrients should not be consumed in equal amounts. The daily intake percentage for each depend on your fitness goal. For example, if you live a very active lifestyle and your goal is to tone up and build lean muscle mass, your daily intake percentage for each should be about 55% protein, 35% carbohydrate, and 10% fat (this is my diet count).

What's your fitness goal?
Whatever it is, write it down. Stay committed to it. There will be days when you want to change your mind or make an easier goal for yourself because it gets too tough, but keep going. Each day might get easier, it might get harder, either way do not settle. If you never feel like giving up, your dream may not be big enough. Don't sell yourself short. Strive to be the best that you can be.
"If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader."
-John Quincy Adams
