#MOVEMBER HEALTH TIP 1: health numbers.


No matter your age, one of the most important things you can do to stay healthy is to know and track your key health numbers. Tracking these and keeping them in the healthy range will lower your risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and many types of cancer.  
The health numbers you should watch: 
- Body Mass Index / Weight 
- Waist line 
- Blood pressure 
- HDL Cholesterol (healthy cholesterol) 
- LDL Cholesterol (unhealthy cholesterol) 
- Blood Glucose (sugar)

Bodyweight Exercise: Perfect for vacation time. Better with added resistance tights by Physiclo.

Image
Staying on track with your fitness goals can be difficult while on vacations. This doesn't really have to be the case. Whenever I go on vacation I try to pack up my ab-roller wheel, some rubber resistance bands and my running shoes. But since last year I have added one item to my "travel fit" item list: Resistance tights by Physiclo.   Training with Physiclo's revolutionary workout gear challenges your body to work harder, boosting heart rate and calories burned by up to 14%.  The extra push you get from training with Physiclo compression pants activates key muscles like the hamstrings, quads, and glutes by an additional 23%. I  usually begin the workout with a mile run or a couple sprints to warm up, then perform a series of bodyweight exercises. The workout here is perfect to do it at the beach before getting into the water. It will take you about 25 minutes. The added resistance with Physiclo will actually make your workout time be work 35-45 minutes, B

Mexico City 21K - 1st of 4 halves this Year

Image
Mexico City, May 6, 2018. There is not a better place to begin the season. It was the beginning of a season I really wasn't sure what would be about. I definitely knew what I needed to do to make it through! I learned that it is common practice using a race to train for another race and since I started training with Adidas Runners NYC I have been running 9+ miles every Saturday that is why when my friend GG, who actually is the one who got me into this running fever all together, told me about the possibility of getting us into Mexico City half marathon I pushed for it. training began and we got ready! Mexico is an incredible country I love the food, I love the music, and people are great. Funny thing, it seems in Mexico City they are not used to see many black people roaming around, and definitely not running a half marathon filled with mostly locals. It was incredible. The only challenge was the altitud so getting started was somewhat hard, but I would say the second ha
