Legumes are an excellent source of soluble fiber, which is important for keeping an athlete’s blood sugar and energy levels stable. As far as plant foods go, most legumes are relatively high in protein and are a good source of slow releasing complex carbohydrates. This is great for providing a more stable and longer lasting supply of energy for working out. Legumes can be eaten in chili, stews, and soups, and are also enjoyable when served cold in bean salads. Some of the more common legumes found in the U.S. include pinto beans, kidney beans, navy beans, lima beans, black beans, chickpeas, lentils, and black-eyed peas. Legumes can be purchased dry, canned, and sometimes frozen.

Dig in!
Even the most modest effort can be enough to change your momentum from negative to positive. But why settle for just a modest effort? When life seems overwhelming, dig in and go to work.
Just because there is much to be done, is no reason to give up. To the contrary, the more burdensome the challenges, the more of a difference you can make.
Dig in. Tackle one task, and then another. Keep going. You're making progress. Momentum is on your side when you make the effort to make a difference.
Welcome the exhilaration of confronting the challenges that face you. Solve problems, plan, organize, build, create value. Make the world a better place in your own unique way.
Live the adventures that those overwhelming challenges bring. Dig in, go to work, and make it happen.

Skin Care for Exercisers
Exercisers are prone to numerous skin problems caused by
increased moisture or friction or damaging elements like
cold, sunlight, and infection. Many skin afflictions,
however, can be prevented by keeping the skin dry,
clean, and protected.
INDOORS
Let's start with the gym. The key word for skin at any
time is hydration, but when it comes to aerobic exercise
in a hot, stuffy environment such as a gym, drinking an
adequate supply of water is not so much a matter of
comfort as a matter of urgency. Without vigorous
exercise, you normally lose about 2 liters(4 1/4 pints)
of water a day, only some of it through perspiration.
Adding a good sweaty session at the gym will
significantly increase the volume lost.
