I don’t find traditional upper body lifting to be that demanding, compared to lower body (arghhh!) but combo moves make upper body exercises more taxing…

Today I turned 43 and I feel like a young 30-something. My abs are ripped. My muscles are as big and full as they’ve ever been. And I feel great!

In a few minutes I’m going to do a little exercise, a morning walk and run with some intervals thrown in to burn some fat. It’s beautiful outside today, warm and sunny with bluebird skies. It feels great to be alive!

I’m in a good mood so I may just throw up another fitness muscle building video post on YouTube today. :-)

“Thank you very much what kind of foods should i be eating after a workout like this?”

Answer:

Eat 5-6 smaller meals a day with protein. Eat within 2-3 hours of waking. Try to eat a meal or snack every 2-3 hours throughout your day. This will increase your metabolism greatly. In school it’s a little difficult to eat every 2-3 hrs.

Save one of your snacks for pre-workout (15 min to 60 min before) and have another snack (with protein and simple sugar like juice)immediately or within 15 mins afterward.

The 2 snacks pre and post workout are very important as is eating evry 2-3 hours. :-)

In less than 3 weeks with just ONE video posting about building ab muscles and firming up your core, I have 850 views, 13 subscribers, 5 comments and 4 ratings.

To be honest I didn’t expect such a great response. I am thrilled to say the least.

More muscle building and fat loss videos to come…
