MUST READ: Body For Life


This was my first book on nutrition, exercise and health and it's the BEST book on the subjects for those who are seasoned as well as those who are just starting out. It is extremely motivating and it gives the tools necessary to DO IT! There are tons of people who have done it...what better way to convince yourself that YOU CAN DO IT??!! The information on HOW to do it, both including exercise and nutrition is in this guide.

I'm a big reader too! Especially when it comes to fitness/bodybuilding! Another book you may check out is "Eating Right 4 Your Type" It's all about specialty diets for your specific blood type. For example, I'm Type A, and they recommend that we eat more veggies and reduce the amount of protein but still are able to gain muscle this way. IT WORKS FOR ME! :) I liked reading it, it was mega interesting!

Another cool thing I've learned is about the different types of muscle fibers and how to train to specifically target the ones that you have more of. I have more fast twitch fibers, so I train heavy with low reps to gain muscle...it works like a charm!!! :D

Take care girlie!

We are the same in our quest to learn about this stuff...I just wish there was more time in each day! I should read about the blood types. My husband and I are both O and know that the book says what we already know about ourselves...protein, no carbs for us! I should really read the whole book though.

Any good ideas on references to read about muscle fibers? Any ideas on natural supplements for me to help build? Do you recommend creatine? I'm only taking protein, L Glut and L Carnatine now. But, I think I need to supplement more.

About This Blog

I am Tori (FITori) and welcome to my blog!!!

I created this blog from the encouragement of my best friend who pushed me to start a blog about my passion, which I am always talking about! It started as a way to inspire others the way I have been inspired and to share what inspires me. I also want to share with you what I have learned through my years of research on health and fitness.

For me, this blog is a great place for me to document my fitness journey. I decided to compete this year, but have transferred that goal to next year so that I can bulk and compete in Figure. This blog is my accountability and hopefully I can get some advice and tips along the way. I am hoping that I can learn from you all also as I post what I am learning along the way. If I am wrong or there is advice for me, I want it! I want your theories. What are you doing differently?

I'm also looking for accountability to keep this up and inspiration from you all. I read your blogs and get inspired and knowing you're reading mine keeps me going!

Thank you for your support!!! Let me know if you have any special requests for blog posts!
