On Health and Fitness

Diet is 85% of where results come from…..for muscle and fat loss. Many don’t focus here enough, says Mike O'Donnell, a personal trainer, professional health and fitness coach.
His other tips for personal working out include:
•Pushups are the best upper body workout,but working out too much doesn’t lead to good results
•It’s never too late to build muscle, but you need to lift heavy enough weights.
•Dependence on gyms to workout may be keeping people fat, people do not realize that just walking does the street could be effective. The fittest people keep active doing what they enjoy.
•Never listen to any advertising telling you what is healthy….as they are just trying to sell you something

These advices could apply only to Mike O'Donnell though:
•Supplements were are waste of a lot of money for me. Same about Whey protein
•The best performance enhancing thing I know of….is a cup of coffee 30min before a workout/playing sports.
•Many brain functions may be vastly improved with a diet of no sugar/higher fats (esp DHA from fish/fish oil)
•80/20 rule is so true…..80% of your results come from just 20% of the exercises, 20% of the food in supermarkets, and spending 20% of your time working out.


And finally, this applies to all of us:

•There is no one right way for anything…..as 20 different ways can get you results…
•There is nothing new in health and fitness…..just ideas that resurface that are long forgotten
