Gold’s gym located in Culpeper, VA is a very spacious gym especially with the new addition just recently opened.

I would like to introduce my new friend Alex, who is a personal trainer at Gold’s Gym Culpeper. This young man is a big encouragement to me and, obviously a knowledgeable trainer of building muscle displaying his whopping 17 inch guns hanging from his barn door wide shoulders.

 

Our conversation was very refreshing this morning as Alex & I swapped fitness ideas, however my favorite “take-away” was the point of how Alex stresses to his clients(& this old fitness nut) how important of the quality of our food intake dictates ANY workout routine.

“You can’t put rotten gas into a old classic sports car and get the top performance.”

If anyone is looking for a personal trainer, stop in Gold’s Gym Culpeper and ask for Alex.

The human body is a quite remarkable machine of flesh and bone however it still has limitations.

Human Body can go 32 days without sleep (Everson et al. 1989), but how long without water. Please read the statement from Randall K. Packer, a professor of biology at George Washington University regard this question:

 It is impossible to give an answer to this seemingly simple question because many variable factors determine a person’s survival time. Under the most extreme conditions, death can come rather quickly. For example, a child left in a hot car or an athlete exercising hard in hot weather can dehydrate, overheat and die in a period of a few hours. An adult in comfortable surroundings, in contrast, can survive for a week or more with no, or very limited, water intake.
