What’s New At Wellness Word?
I would like to welcome you to the all new Wellness Word “Interactive” Newsletter! As stated in the previous edition of Wellness Word, we have decided to create a community based interactive format for Wellness Word. Along with giving the subscriber base the power to talk back, with your suggestions, we have also decided to make the newsletter shorter, and publish is weekly, instead of bi-weekly.
Each edition will feature either a video, or audio that we encourage you to comment on, and share your personal experiences. The days are long gone of me presenting material without letting you “sound off.”
Wellness Word Newsletter is now a community of like minded individuals sharing knowledge, and experiences. We at Wellness Word would like to get to know as many of our world wide subscribers as possible.
Together, we can all shatter our health, fitness, and bodybuilding goals!
Don’t be shy! Go ahead and talk to me. I will be reading all the comments. Let us know what country, or state you live in.
TODAY’S AUDIO - High Reps/Low Weights, or Low Reps/High Weights? Which is better?
Follow Me On Twitter, And I Will Follow You Too
Have you heard of the new FREE service taking the internet by storm? This free service is called TWITTER. In an attempt to get to know my subscribers I have joined TWITTER. By using TWITTER I can share my daily personal thoughts, fitness tips, and whatever comes to my mind. You can too! Therefore, I can read your thoughts, just as you can read mine.
Twitter is like a mini-blog. It is real cool! You can even text message your thoughts that you wish to share with your selected friends. On Twitter, you build a network of friends who can keep up-to-date on what you are doing. An example would be a post by me such as… I’m just finishing up a glass of Chateau Montelena before I put my 20 month old daughter to bed. All my friends, including you, will get my personal update. If I follow you, I will get your update. I feel this is a great FREE TOOL I can use to keep all my Wellness Word friends informed, and also enable me to find out more out them.
Go check it out. Here is a step by step of what you need to do to follow me.
1. Go to http://www.twitter.com
2. Sign up for a FREE account. (Create a username, create a password, and give you email)
3. Once you sign in go to http://twitter.com/fitnesstrainer
4. You will find a FOLLOW button underneath my picture.
5. Click the FOLLOW button underneath my picture.
6. You are now following me. You will get updates almost daily.
7. Once you follow me, I will FOLLOW YOU so I can get to know more about you.
It will be fun. See you on Twitter!
Wellness Word Fitness Question Of The Week
Q - My 14 year old son is petite; just 5 feet and 89 pounds (maybe). Are there safe protein drinks for his age group that may help him to put some bulk on? His sport is baseball and on 3 teams right now and always playing basketball in our driveway so he is very active. Do you have any suggestions?
A - It seems like your son is very active. That is good. However, it appears he is challenged by a fast metabolism, and high activity level. Since he is only 14, I wouldn’t rely on protein drinks to gain weight, but food. Your son needs to eat a balanced diet of all the basic food groups. I would make sure he gets a snack or two each day, preferably after his physical activity.
Ask him what type of foods he likes, and encourage him to not miss meals, and snacks. Increase his calories through food. There is no magic in protein drinks.
