Today I will be recording a public service announcement at
Univision 34 Atlanta. Mark your calendars for the first Latin Walk on Sunday,
April 7th at 8am, starting at the Latin American Association and
ending at Plaza Fiesta. Join me, Univision 34 Atlanta, and The Hispanic Health
Coalition of GA on this walk. Bring the entire family and let’s walk for a
healthier community!
Not too long ago I finished one of my Soccer Camps for kids
ages 5-8. At the end of the camp I always give rewards for outstanding
participation and team effort. In this case one of the kids did not take the
reward and gave it back to me saying, “No, you keep it”. I was confused by his reaction and I replied
saying that he had great sportsmanship and he should keep the reward as a good
memory of the soccer camp. He looked at me with watery eyes and without crying
said, “Coach, I want YOU to keep it, so you can always remember me.” Wow! That
moved me. For sure I will never forget that moment. In a short couple of weeks
I definitely mentored a kid that was hungry for learning a new sport, being
active and discovering the fun of exercise.
So, my friends, YOU can become a healthy mentor as well for
your little loved ones. MAKE the time to
exercise together, help with sports practice, or just teach the basics of
healthy eating. Kids are full of energy and eager to learn about sports and
fitness. Remember… Exercise is FUN!
Busy lifestyle? No problem, we can always make time to
workout. Try to get up 20 minutes earlier and workout before going to work. Use
your lunch time to workout. After work do not turn on the TV, put your tennis
shoes on and go for a few minutes run/walk. Find a friend to workout with, so
you can motivate each other. To add more physical activity during the day use
the stairs when possible, walk the dog, and park at the car as far as you can so
you can increase the walking distance.
Exercise is health, do not try to find time to workout. Make the
time!
Hi there! Today I will show you how you can get your
six-pack in 3 easy steps.
Step 1: Watch your diet and minimize foods high in calories
like alcohol, sugar, and fried foods. Alcohol is the worst enemy if you are
trying to lose weight because it is high in calories without nutrients. Sugar,
unfortunately, is hidden in many items. Always read the nutrition label of the
items you consume and select items with the least sugar. Fried foods are also
high in calories and excess consumption can lead to health problems. So, start
minimizing the consumption of these items if you want to get results faster.
Steps 2-3: Combine cardio with your abdominal workout.
Cardio will burn the fat that is covering the abs and the ab workout will make
your abs stronger. Once you start following these steps you will begin to see
your six-pack.
Here is a video where I explain how to do it. Let's begin!
