“To make a fighter you got to strip ‘em down to bare wood: you can’t just tell ‘em to “forget everything you know”. You got to make ‘em forget it in their bones… make ‘em so tired they only listen to you, only hear your voice, only do what you say and nothing else… show ‘em how to keep their balance and take it away from the other guy… how to generate momentum off your right toe and how to flex your knees when you fire a jab. How to fight backing up, so that the other guy doesn’t want to come after you. Then you gotta show ‘em all over again. Over and over and over… till they think they’re born that way.” - Million Dollar baby.

5 Things To Do Before, During and After An Intense Workout!
- Fuel up: Exercising on an empty stomach won’t make you burn more calories, but it can make your workout much more difficult. Don’t set yourself up for failure; eat a small snack beforehand in order to perform your best, but make sure it’s the right kind of foods. Here iseverything you need to know about choosing a pre-workout snack.
- Combine and save time: Even if you’re just running on the treadmill, you can still make the workout more efficient. Add high-intensity intervals, weights, or inclines to all types of workouts to build muscle and burn more calories while you sweat.
- Stay hydrated: Exercising without being adequately hydrated can lead to fatigue and worsened performance and can be dangerous, especially as the temperatures rise. Make sure you have water readily available as you work out, and don’t be shy about stopping to get a drink if you’re feeling thirsty while you exercise.
- Cooldown: Don’t skip out on the stretching part to save time. Stretching only takes a few extra minutes and will ensure that your muscles stay flexible and loose.
- Post-workout refuel: After exercising, you probably don’t need to be told that you should eat as soon as possible. Having something with protein and carbs within two hours of your workout feeds your grumbling stomach as well as keeps your tired muscles strong. (After an intense workout, however, it’s important to eat something within 30 minutes to help the body recover and reduce sore muscles.) For ways to refuel without undoing all your hard work, here are 10 post-workout snacks under 150 calories.

Fact: The less junk you eat, the less you will crave it.
Fact: If you eat crap, you will feel like crap.
Fact: Treat your body better and it will last longer.As much as I believe that you should feel comfortable treating yourself once in a while and that everything is just a matter of moderation, this is a really good perspective to form. If I can start thinking of maybe whipped cream and strawberries as a treat instead of a chocolate bar, I think it will be so much easier to take care of myself.
