Advanced Preparation is the secret to setting yourself up to win. Having a plan maximizes the odds for winning. When it comes to achieving your commitment of health & fitness, advanced preparation applies to the five components of sleep, exercise, water intake, nutrition, and supplementation.
- Nutrition - Preparing your meals in Advance is the most practical way to stay on track with today's busy lifestyle. Taking one hour ever three to four days to prepare a variety of food for your meals. Chicken, Turkey, hard boiled eggs, cut up fruit and vegetables, cooked brown rice, baked yams, etc. can all be made with little effort. Through them in zip-lock bags, or Tupperware and you are good to go for 3-4 days at a time.
- Water Intake - Drink 8 oz of water per meal, and 8 oz between meals to create optimal hydration in the body. Advanced Preparation would be to have water always available by having it delivered to the house on a set schedule, or carry a filled water bottle with you while on the go.
- Supplementation - Taking a multi-vitamin, essential fatty acids, digestive enzymes, protein powder and probiotic are supportive to receiving the correct amount of nutrients, digest efficiently, and boost the immune system. Establish a daily routine of making these supplements easily accessible and taking them as recommended.
- Exercise - At least 3-6 Days per week of Strength, Cardiovascular, and Flexibility Training will yield optimal results. Setting specific times that allow the least bit of confliction with your work/family schedule should be set weekly.
- Sleep - 7-8 hours sleep each night is what is recommended for optimal mental and physical health. This is easily accomplished by setting a specific bedtime each night that will allow for optimal sleep.
