You've heard about the key to a successful retail business: location, location, location!

We constantly hear about the importance of physical fitness in our Krav Maga training with ABD instructors: conditioning, conditioning, conditioning!

It is relatively easy to stay alive eating junk food, when you are young, as long as you stay active. As we get older, though, we often slow down. People accumulate extra weight and now the bad habits catch up with us. I noticed this in my early thirties. I was cycling and playing football, in the summer but I didn't do a whole lot in the winter. I was pushing 200 pounds, even as a vegetarian. When Alex and I started training in Krav Maga, we each lost about 10 pounds in the first few weeks, as we got into regular workouts, two or three times a week.

When we moved to a raw food diet, in April 2009, that is when the real weight loss began. I now weigh 147 pounds, with a BMI of 19 and a body fat figure of about 9%. We are still training, more and more vigorously, but it seems to us that we need to focus on nutrition, nutrition, nutrition! Nutrition plays a much bigger part in our health, wellness and physical fitness, than any of us expect.
