#Fitness - Selecting The Best Place To Workout -

Working Out on a regular basis is essential for a healthy lifestyle alongside a healthy diet and taking effective supplements. There are different types of fitness activities from strength training, to cardio to group training like CrossFit or Boot Camps. But what is the best place for you to workout. It depends on your goals and what environment you are comfortable in.

- Picking A Fitness Facility

There are different levels of fitness facilities from that "country club" version with all the bells and whistles and then the full-service gym to those "hotel gyms". It depends what you are looking to do. Those "high-end" gyms are great for networking and being able to do different workouts from sports to swimming to free weights. A full-service gym is better if you focus on strength training w/ cardio and a class here and there. A "hotel" gym is best when you just want to stay in shape but have less variety in options.

If time is an essence or maybe you are that introvert, a home workout would do. A combination of using resistant bands and your own body weight can be a very effective workout routine.

- Working Out in a Group Setting

You heard of Boot Camps, Cross Fit etc. They are great since you are working out with people with the same goals as you. Unlike working out alone at the gym, you are able to try different routines and are able to influence the people around you. It is also always good to hit your body with different exercises you don't normally do at a regular gym.

Finally as always I recommend talking to a fitness expert to help determine what is best for you. Always understand your goals and stay consistent, and you will notice amazing results.

Professional Networking Is About Mutual Conversation, It Is Not About The Transaction

You hear this a lot, even from me! “You should be networking more.” 

If the thought of networking makes your eyes roll, your heart race, or your stomach churn, maybe a change of perspective can help. Think about it, would you be willing to take the chance and step outside your comfort zone if you thought you could build a mutually beneficial relationship and help the other person just as much as he/she could help you? 

 Many of us are so caught up in our own circumstances and desires that we fail to stop and consider how we might be able to add value, contribute, or help the other person also. 

 So here are four quick tips to make the most of Professional Networking: 

 - Strong relationships take time. Let go of the expectation that one conversation or one meeting is all you need. Relationships evolve over time and require tending. Invest appropriate time and energy with your connections to cultivate trust, reliability, and mutual respect. 

 - Successful relationships involve give and take. Networking relationships are no different. While you may have time-sensitive needs, remember that the other person likely has some needs too. Don’t get too caught up in your own agenda that you forget to ask thoughtful, open-ended questions of your new connection to learn about his/her journey and current challenges. 

 - Healthy relationships grow and evolve. In our personal lives, we don’t expect brand new acquaintances to do big favors for us or fulfill significant requests. The same goes for new professional contacts. 

 - Good relationships require patience. The old saying “timing is everything” is also true when networking. Be mindful that people have a variety of demands on their time and are often juggling multiple priorities. Nobody ever said networking was easy, but it most definitely can be worth it when you focus on the relational aspects of meeting new people and expanding your network.

The Longer The Shelf Life, The Shorter Your Life

A recent study concluded that cutting down on the amounts of ultra-processed foods could help us live longer. They defined ultra-processed foods as ready-to-eat and microwaveable foods such as these popular choices.

- Breads - Breakfast cereals, - Instant noodles - Chicken or fish nuggets, - Chocolate bars and candies, - Artificially sweetened beverages

Researchers found the more ultra-processed foods eaten, the higher the risk of a heart attack or stroke. The people who ate the most processed foods were 23 percent more likely to have cardiovascular issues than the ones who ate less processed foods.

Where to Begin? Drinking less sugared drinks and more waters or teas may be a great place to start moving away from unprocessed choices. Follow that with all of the fresh fruit that you enjoy. Berries, apricots, apples, pineapple, bananas, cherries, and grapes are just a few of the choices to include in every meal. Add them to breakfast, include them with lunch sandwiches and salads, and make room for them at dinner in fruit salads, side dishes or tarts. Then start expanding the number and variety of vegetables that you eat. Try new ones, find more recipes for your favorites, and make sure they are there for breakfast, lunch and dinner. A veggie omelet, multi-vegetable lunch salad and dinner featuring veggie lasagna, black bean tacos or white bean chili might be good starting menus.

Wherever you are with processed foods, consider making more room for fresh whole foods to enjoy better health.

Why Weight Loss Diets Are Not The Answer and Healthy Lifestyle Is For a Healthy Life

Whenever someone wants to get healthy, the first thing they do and say is "I am going on a diet". 

So what really is the definition of a diet?

Diet is defined as a person's regularly consumed food and drink or it can mean regulating food intake to lose or gain weight. An example of diet is the eating of only vegetables. An example of diet is the cutting back to precisely 1800 calories per day.

A weight loss diet in particular is not the healthy route. By why?

Biologically, dieting can lead to unhealthy changes in body composition, hormonal changes, reduced bone density, menstrual disturbances, and lower resting energy expenditure.

19 Victim Versus Leader Distinctions

Leadership has less to do with authority and more to do with a mindset. Where the victim sees a problem, a leader sees an opportunity. 

So here are 19 comparisons of a Victim Mindset versus a Leadership Mindset.

What are you?

#1. Victims talk about people. Leaders talk about ideas

#2. Victims procrastinate around their goals. Leaders execute on them.

#3. Victims enjoy watching things (like TV and video games). Leaders like making things.

#4. Victims are distracted. Leaders are concentrated.

#5. Victims abhor change. Leaders Adore change.

#6. Victims read what everyone reads. Leaders read what few do.

#7. Victims associate with other victims. Leaders spend most of their time with superstars (and thereby dramatically elevate their productivity and success).

#8. Victims are stuck in the past. Leaders are inspired by the future. 

#9. Victims resist hard projects. Leaders seek them out (knowing it refines their chops).

#10. Victims work at mediocrity. Leaders view work as an opportunity to pursue Mastery.

#11. Victims give most of their time to leisure. Leaders spend a ton of time on their learning.

#12. Victims tear people down (because it makes them feel better). Leaders lift others up.

#13. Victims are rude. Leaders are polite.

#14. Victims practice negativity. Leaders are unreasonably positive.

#15. Victims can’t wait to retire. Leaders are afraid to retire (why retire when you’re having so much fun building something important, growing more leaders and producing value for the world?).

#16. Victims waste time. Leaders exploit time.

#17. Victims achieve things for the applause. Leaders achieve them for the fulfillment.

#18. Victims sleep late. Leaders rise early.

#19. Victims view work as a means to pay the bills. Leaders view work as a way to change the world.

When Is The Best Time To Workout?

This is one of the most common questions we get. We prefer mornings for many reasons, but the real answer is "It Depends" Working out in the morning — especially on an empty stomach — is the best way to burn stored fat, making it ideal for weight loss. That’s largely because the body’s hormonal composition in the morning is set up to support that goal. Also, early workouts often lead to fewer distractions and increased productivity throughout the day. An afternoon workout can also be a great way to avoid an end-of-the-day slump. The Journal of Physiology study found that exercising between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. can shift forward your body clock in the same way as an early morning workout. When it comes to exercising in the evenings, the most significant benefit is that most people have more time. This can lead to better focus, longer workouts and better exercise adherence if you’re working out with friends or participating in an exercise class. The drawback about evening workouts is if you have trouble with your sleep patterns.

Do when is the best time to workout? Well, it depends. I prefer mornings but of course it depends on your sleep schedule and health goals. Check out our video on the DeSocial Connector You Tube Channel -
