June is Men's Health Awareness Month

Summer is now actually here. We’re in it right now! Hopefully all you ladies are already on the path to or perhaps have already arrived at a bathing suit body so since its men’s health month, let’s talk about men. After all, men want to look good in their bathing suits too, especially if they want to snag that hot babe on the beach or keep up with their children and already smoking hot wives. Here are a just a few helpful tips on your journey to manly fitness.

• Don’t go hungry!
• It seems easier for men to stave off hunger all day when they’re busy, but you’re really doing yourself a disservice. Hunger in men increases their desire to eat a quick and easy salty or sweet snack. Chips and Snickers are not going to win the fitness race. Pack yourself a lunch and healthy snacks to take to work every day so that you don’t binge on something bad when you get home. For a list of men specific snack options, check out the following link, but feel free to avoid the thing about oysters for two reasons: (1) it’s hard to pack oysters as a snack, and (2) they’re kind of gross. http://www.webmd.com/men/features/food-men-10-foods-boost-male-health
• Now is the time!
• With the long summer days upon us, this is the perfect time to grab your health by the horns. Your energy levels are up and so is your desire to make the most of the day. When you get home from work, it’s still daylight and there is no reason why not to get outside and work in the yard or go for a bike ride.
• Gamble on yourself
• This has been mentioned before, but it can be most beneficial for men because it strikes a chord with their competitive nature, so why not make a fitness bet? Competing with a spouse or a friend can be a huge motivation to stay on a fitness regime. Better yet, try getting into weight loss teams! No one wants to let their teammates down, so you’ll have to make sure that you’re holding up your end of the bargain. And besides, even if you lose, you win.

Now, I could go on about the importance of exercise and provide exercise tips, but the fact is that other than the amount of weight you’re lifting, men need and can use the same exercise techniques that women utilize. If you've read this newsletter before, then you know what to do. If you haven’t, then go read them because there is some good stuff in there! Now go get your fitness on.
