fitness and fashionBeing fashionable is not exactly referred to as a behavior of necessity.  People like you can live without being too much fashionable.  In fact, you might even save more money if you won’t buy fashionable clothing and accessories so much. And yet, being fit to become fashionable somehow makes it to the top of the list of priorities for the average person.  Why is this, exactly?

Well, for one thing, if you are fit and fashionable, then you are cool and healthy. Plus, not many people attain that good body structure and healthy well-being in order to make a strong fashion statement.  Those who are too young to wear fashionable clothes but practice a healthy lifestyle are already in the right track.  Those too old and are putting their health at risk by engaging in unhealthy lifestyles, no matter how beautiful they may look, will ultimately suffer in the end.  In short, the combination of being healthy and fashionable has a mass appeal.  They carry an image with them; an image of a person with a comfortable and healthy lifestyle.
If you are both healthy and fashionable, then you are able to earn the respect and confidence of your colleagues because of your fantastic physique and excellent fashion sense. Thus, you are able to encourage others to become healthy and fashionable themselves and improve their self-esteem along the process through the establishment of smart and achievable health goals and objectives.

Again, health is still the most treasured and sought-after wealth. What you do to yourself is related to the condition of your health. Accordingly, you must protect and preserve your well-being. Besides, money and other miscellaneous earthly desires cannot totally bring back the perfection of your body mechanism. In general, health among individuals should not only be based on physical wellness or in the absence of diseases, rather mental, social, intellectual and other miscellaneous determinants of health should also be considered.

This is the workout the actors from "300" had to go through. No machines, no expensive equipment. Just old-school brutal force to build muscles and cut fat in record time. A training aimed at real strength and performance, not even close to the "pussies" bodybuilding. The looks came as a by-product. Quality above quantity: a true bodytweaker spirit!

Few key notes:

  • The workout was designed to create strength and power the actors would need to BE real spartan warriors.
  • No muscle group concentration: no curls, no extensions, no any of the crap you will be taught in an average gym. Through full-body exercises your neuromuscular system is taught to use all muscles together as teamplayers for real-world tasks.
  • Dymanic training. No workout was like the other. New exercises, variations and combinations kept the muscles stimulated.
