This is from a Triathlete at my gym!


Hi Cristian, 

I hope you’re doing well. Congratulations on your new goals! The blog’s name says it all, changingourlifestyles. Most people are always looking for the “quick fix”, so they try pills, crazy diets, surgeries, etc., and the reality is that those things don’t work in the long term if you don’t change your life style. Everything starts within you. Body and mind work together and you have to make changes in your mind so your body can respond in the way you want. Changes are always necessary, but you don’t have to make radical changes to start seeing progress. If you change,for example, the amount of fried food and sweets that you eat every day and start exercising at least 4 times a week, you’ll start seeing changes really soon. If you eat meat 7 times a week, make a change and eat it 4 times a week and the other 3 days introduce new foods like lentils, garbanzo beans, and different vegetables. Fruits, vegetables and grains are your friends. At the gym you can start with low impact exercises, like running in the pool lanes, the elliptical or the stationary bike. Make it a progression, you start little by little and build up from that. Feel free to email me and if there is anything I can do to help. You can count on me. Have a great day and I can’t wait to hear about your progress. Carlos
