Now that I have started the intermediate level of Turbulence Training and combine Insanity on my off days, I knew I had to work on my diet next. I don’t consider myself a terrible eater but I could really stand to clean up my act. The working out is really fun for me and it became a habit for me years ago. However, my eating habits were something I never really pushed myself too hard on. Now that the summer is approaching and it will be officially beach season soon, I figured I can take this opportunity to make healthy eating a habit just like exercise.
Something Clicked
Years ago when I was a couch potato, and proud of it, something inside of me just clicked and I started to go to the gym on a regular basis.

One danger of falling out of a regular fitness routine is boredom. Exercise is often viewed as boring which is just another excuse that is used to get out of doing it. Although I’m at the point in my life where I enjoy exercise, even I need to add some variety to my workouts to keep things fun. I’m currently doing the beginner level of Craig Ballantyne’s Turbulence Training workout. I’ll be moving on to intermediate level at the end of the week.
I also began sampling the Insanity workout which I am now a huge fan of.

I’m sorry.
I hate to be the one to have to tell you this.
But you should always listen to your mother.
What I’m trying to say is, make sure that you eat plenty of vegetables, especially if you want to get a better value out of your workouts. According to recent research published in the February 2011 issue of Cell Metabolism (you can find a summary in Science Daily at ), the nitrates in vegetables — especially green leafy vegetables like spinach, parsley and kale — can make the mitochondria in body cells work more efficiently, causing people who consume more nitrate to take in less oxygen while they are exercising.
If you are interested in bodybuilding, you probably already know that mitochondria are organelles inside the body’s cells.
