Changing our lifestyles not only causes us to accept the fact that 50% of the time, we’ll be covered in sweat from working out so much, but it also causes us to buy proper athletic wear. Mainly footwear. Having proper protection, comfort, and performance from our footwear is extremely important.

How does one decide on which footwear to choose from? Think some things through. First off, are you planning on doing a lot of running and jogging, or are you going to be doing more aerobics, weight training, and kickboxing workouts? That plays a big role in which shoes to pick. Other information to be aware of is the type of foot you have. Wearing the wrong type of shoe can cause us serious pain in out knees, and can cause early arthritis.

Let’s take a look at some options that are either versatile or perfect for a particular type of workout.

Somewhere between those 9-5 jobs, a lunch break is needed. Something quick and easy is normally the first option – but it’s not always the healthiest. It may seem easy to just stroll down the street and grab a quick meal made from a fast food restaurant. Even though you may feel full by the end of the meal, those nutrients you need to keep your energy up for the rest of your shift aren’t there.

Smoothies are a delicious, healthy option for breakfast and snack. They are loaded with nutrients and pack several doses of fruit and veggies in one serving.

But are you taking your smoothies to their full potential? Is there something else you could add to make them even more nutritious for you?

Have a look at this guide below and see how your smoothies measure up:

Always add greens – You won’t be able to taste them, but you sure will benefit from their nutrition profile. I add at least a cup of spinach, and often more to all of my smoothies, and also supplement with greens powder. Together these both ensure that I get my daily dose of greens . That way, even if I don’t eat as well as I planned during the rest of the day, at least I know I will get my greens for the day!

When you’re trying to lose weight, part of it is to eat more veggies and fruit, up your greens intake, and focus on lean protein sources. And of course, don’t forget to drink lots of water (try detox water), exercise and give your body adequate sleep for recovery and repair.
