Macronutrients are substances in our food that provide living
organisms, such as ourselves, with the energy we need to survive.
Proteins, carbohydrates, and fats are macronutrients that can be found
in different types of foods and are all part of a healthy, balanced
diet. This article is the third, in a series of three, about foods
you can eat to get the recommended amount of macronutrients in your
diet. There are many delicious ways to get the recommended amount of
carbohydrates in your diet; check out the three suggestions below.
Who else went straight to french fries? If only it were that simple.
The grease and salt in your french fries might negate some of the
positive benefits in your potato. A classic baked potato with some
salsa might be a good alternative to fries and will definitely be a
great way to get some nutritional benefits. A medium sized potato has
about 110 calories and 26 grams of carbs. Not only that but potatoes
are packed with vitamin C and fiber which are imperative for utilizing
all the nutrients your body needs throughout the day.
When choosing healthy carbohydrates, go for those that are minimally processed like those mentioned above and add variety and color to your diet by experimenting with different grains such as Couscous, Amaranth, Spelt, Quinoa, and Buckwheat.
Carbohydrate is used as a bad word sometimes, but it’s important to remember that food makes us stronger and smarter, providing nutrition to fuel our bodies and minds. Food is not a burden but a necessity. If we make balanced choices with our carbs, proteins, and fats then all of our food choices will work together to make and keep us stronger and healthier.

There is no sport that explosive lower body power isn’t a requirement. Power training has even been shown to help the elderly prevent falls and improve their quality of life! These three exercises focus on everything you need to decrease your time off the line, get to the ball first, or add some heat to your fastball.
The squat/lunge combo with the MostFit SYN Rings will prime your nervous system and wake up your legs and core. The quick step with the MostFit Band and jumping lunges with the MostFit Suspension Strap focus more on explosive speed and raw lower extremity power. When performing in a circuit, keep your reps between 5-10 and rest a minute between exercises to get the most carryover for speed. Or on the other hand, these exercises can be performed one after another with minimal rest for a calorie burning superset!

Most people at some time in their lives have had low back pain, or are suffering with it right now. If this sounds familiar, here are 5 of the best core exercises and stretches to do to help your back be awesome.The bridge is going to help your back by strengthening those big gluteus muscles that help to stabilize the pelvis.
The abdominal rollout will work on your rectus abdominis, transverse abdominis, and obliques in a safe position that will not put excessive stress or strain on to your discs or the vertebral bodies of your spine.
The problem with a tight anterior hip capsule and/or tight hip flexors is that they cause the pelvis to be tipped down in the front and up in the back. This causes increased stress to the discs, joints and vertebral bodies. This stretch will get to both your hip capsule and your hip flexors, most specifically your iliopsoas muscle.
The modified MostFit™ Suspension Strap prayer stretch or child’s pose is an excellent back opener. It provides traction to your back and gives well needed space between the joints. Until we can figure out how to turn off gravity, this is the next best thing. If you sit more than a few hours a day, you should be doing this stretch. Period.
