Well I survived my 19 days recovery without exercise. Following on from my intial entry “Everyday the cells in our body change, my beard will prove it” I am sure you will assume that not much can happen to your body if you don’t exercise for nearly 3 weeks.

I have a nice photo here of how my face looked after those 19 days.

Now tell me, if not much can happen in your body in 3 weeks, how did all that hair grow on my face?

If all that hair grew on my face, what happened inside my body at that time?

Did I lose muscle mass? Did my aerobic capacity decrease? Yes, I definitely noticed changes in my body!

So the purpose of this little example is to prove to you that what you do to your body everyday matters. What you eat and drink will be used to manufacture new cells for your body as they regenerate everyday. So if you want to be healthy, eat and drink healthy. It isn’t possible to create healthy cells with unhealthy food!

If you want to be fit, you have to be consistent with your training. Taking days or even weeks off regularly is only going to send you backwards and will make your journey towards a fitter body seem like a long trip with no end in sight.

But it doesn’t have to be this hard guys, eat healthy 90% of the time and exercise 5 – 6 days per week and you could be living in your best body ever!

Please feel free to give me your feedback at the Forum, you know I love to hear what you have to say!
