Some people making lifting weights their life - nothing wrong with that. Others strength train as a means to enhance their athletic or recreational performance...and that's good too. While others use strength training to be more functional and a "part" of their overall exercise program...and that's great. But remember,... regardless of your reason for training, it's all about improving your health.

Hydrating

Here's the first of what we hope to be many more videos to come from Clinical Nutritionist, Tom Mantos and myself. Tom and I joined forces to develop the Jersey Shore Health & Wellness Group and are planning on doing an ongoing series of tips and information on nutrition, exercise and all aspects of health. Here's Tom talking briefly about the need for proper hydration.

What's More Important?

A question I often get is "what's more important, good nutrition, strength training or doing conditioning work?" and my answer is usually the same, "what's more important to a car; gas, the engine, oil, wheels, the key, etc., etc"...

If you give it some thought, all aspects could be argued in favor of or against, especially when the individual is keen on one particular area, but the truth of the matter is, I don't feel that you can, nor do you need to separate and distinguish one over the other. Like the car, they all work in unison to support each others functions and in doing so, enable you to have a healthier more functional lifestyle. - Fred Fornicola 908.433.4542
