How To Make Traveling Less Stressful


Travelling is a lot of fun but it can also be very stressful. However, you can keep the stress to a minimum by following these tips
Do your research- It’s always a good idea to research the place/places you are planning to go to. Therefore you know the timings, what they offer, where to go and how much it will cost. Also if you have any dietary restrictions it’s a good idea to research the places you will be eating at to make sure they have items on the menu that you can eat.
Talk to people who have already been there- It’s hard to get all the information you need off the internet. Instead if you know anyone who has been to the place/places you plan to travel in talk to them about the area and find out more information about it.
Keep some medicine/extra clothes with you- ALWAYS keep medicine for stomach problems and colds with you just in case as well as an extra pair of clothes in case you end up losing your luggage or you end up having a random stop over that was not planned.
Don’t overthink it- A lot of the stress of travelling is also psychological so remember that travelling is supposed to be a fun experience and don’t over think it too much.

Ectomorph, Endomorph and Mesomorph

“What are the 3 body types?”

Ectomorph, endomorph and mesomorph are the 3 types of body types we as humans can possess. An ectomorph body type is usually someone who is skinny, small frame with muscle and light build. Their body is always very thin. An endomorph body is someone who is overweight, low metabolism, high body fat percentage, and has a soft body with very little muscle mass. Last but not least we have mesomorph. A mesomorph body is someone with a low body fat percentage, athletic body type, high metabolism and a lot of muscle mass.

“What’s the best workout for my body type?”

For ectomorphs, you’re going to want to focus on strength training. Hit heavier weights and complete 4 or 5 sets of 12 reps. REMEMBER, it’s the quality not quantity that counts! Your body is going to have to be put through that stress to go above and beyond. Find yourself a workout plan that will be best for you and dedicate yourself to it!

For endomorphs, you’re going to want to do what’s called HIIT for 2 days a week for 30 minutes. You are also going to need to incorporate strength training. Good news for fellow endos! For a lot of people who are overweight, it actually is easy to put on that muscle however, having a slow metabolism and high body fat percentage makes it harder to maintain that lean muscle.

For mesomorphs, you guys have dense muscles. Therefore, strength training 5 days a week with no more than 30 second rest between sets will definitely help you maintain that muscle. Perform 8 to 12 reps of 4 sets for each exercise. Super sets and body weight training will also help build your metabolism up . It is also recommended that mesomorphs do light weight and higher reps.

Vegan/Vegetarian Bodybuilding

For those of you thinking about going vegan/vegetarian, you are probably worried how this will affect you in the gym and your bodybuilding journey. The key to healthy eating when you are on a no kill animal diet is eating whole plant foods. This consists of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds etc. Chik peas, black beans, kidney beans etc will also be a huge help in vegans/vegetarians meal plans. 60% of your calories should be carbohydrates, 20% should be fats and 20% should be protein. This will also depend on what you are trying to achieve in your fitness journey. If you are someone that is in need of any kind of specialized meal plan, find one that works for you. It doesn’t matter if you are a vegetarian, vegan or meat eater GET YOUR PROTEIN INTAKE! The more protein your body consumes, the better! When it comes to snacking stick with fruits and nuts. Don’t listen to stuck up individuals that don’t know anything about a no kill lifestyle! It absolutely is possible to bodybuild on a vegetarian/vegan diet!

Start Baking Your Food Now!!!

Stop frying your food and start baking your Food right now instead. Although frying is a lot more faster and less time consuming, frying not only adds calories to your food but also fat and salt. Baking is not only healthier, but is also a lot more juicier in taste for meats. So do yourself a favor and STOP USING THE DEEP FRYER! Eating fried foods often can lead to kidney problems, and heart disease. If you’re someone like myself who doesn’t have much to cook their food and meal prep because of life responsibilities, make the time!

How Many Day’s a Week Should I Workout?

This is a common question from a lot of individuals. The answer is, 4-6 day’s a week. This will vary on age, goals and how active you already are. If you are a 40 year old male who has no health issues and has a skinny fat body, you’re going to want to train 5 or 6 days a week. This will not be the same for everyone. Your body may react differently and you may have to train less or more. Separate your workouts like such:

Monday: Shoulders and Chest.

Tuesday: Arms and Back.

Wednesday: Legs and Glute.

Thursday: Triceps.

Friday- Sunday: Rest.

Try to avoid doing full body workouts everyday. It is important to rest your body and change up your workouts so you put your body through a good challenge.

Good Cholesterol vs Bad Cholesterol

Theres 2 types of cholesterol our body’s contain. That is HDL and LDL. HDL is your good cholesterol that will most likely not end up in your arteries. Having a higher level of HDL is good because it will lower your risk of heart disease and stroke. You will also have a high density lipoproteins. LDL is known as the bad cholesterol. Having high LDL means build up of plaque in your arteries that can result in heart disease and stroke. You will also have a low density of lipoproteins. STOP SMOKING NOW!!!! Smoking raises your LDL cholesterol as to where smoking lowers your HDL cholesterol.

Stop Cardio and Start Strength Training

Are you tired of walking 5 miles a day and not seeing any results? Are you seeing your results regressing? Stop doing cardio and pick up the weights! What your body is doing is not only burning fat, but muscle too. Whether your looking to build muscle or lose weight this is going to apply for all. The more muscle mass your body has, the more calories your body will burn just by doing nothing. Consistency is key in your fitness journey. For the one’s who are afraid of weights because they don’t want to get “big” don’t worry. It takes months if not years to bulk up.
