Want to know how to build stamina? Maybe you’re just starting a fitness program or you’re returning to your  fitness program after a long illness or surgery. Whatever the reason, here are some tips to get you back on your fitness track.

The definition of stamina – the ability to endure prolonged physical or mental strain. There are a few things you can do first to make sure you have a good foundation.

First, just like a car needs gas in it to make it run, you need good food to give you the vitality you need to have stamina and endurance.

Eat three healthy meals throughout the day and a mini-meal of 200-300 calories about 60-90 minutes before exercising to give you the energy to “go”! If you exercise on an empty stomach, it can cause dizziness and fatigue which is exactly what you don’t want to do if you’re trying to build stamina.

Good choices for the mini-meal are low fat yogurt and a banana, string cheese and an apple or peanut butter (no trans fat) and crackers. If you don’t have time for that, even a small snack 30 minutes before you exercise can help. A simple carbohydrate is your best bet such as jello or a piece of fruit. Read more

Healthy Living for Moms has been gone a while. I said “Adios” to my old web host and have spent the last couple of months since then trying to find the right format for a new and improved Healthy Living for Moms.

It took me a while of wrangling with other content management systems to realize that I’m most comfortable with a blog so here we are!

This blog will be devoted to healthy living for moms, of course. A lot of moms are looking for ways to lose the baby weight or get back in shape as they get older so look for ideas I’ve gathered for your consideration.

I’m constantly looking for the best in healthy living ideas and products so you’ll see that here. Look for links to my friends’ blogs who are also concentrating on health but maybe for a different group of people – not just moms or women.

And, of course, there’s spiritual health. I’m a christian and my desire is to always give glory to God for my health and for all the ways He helps me to grow in my physical and spiritual health!
