Gregory Foster Fitness

Fitness and nutrition is my passion in life. I've spent most of my life involved in fitness/sports/coaching. Sports play a major role in my quest for better fitness and quality of life. It motivates me to exercise and to eat properly. At 43 years old, I need all the motivation and push possible. I participate in sports (mainly track and field) specifically for the fitness aspect and the friends that I meet along the way. Having said that, I train for the sport of track and field carefully. I avoid trauma to my body if all possible. i.e. weight training - no jumping squats, no maxing on squats; plyometrics - no weighted depth jumping, minimal lateral training, etc. I mostly do low impact plyometrics such as walking lunges. I'm pretty good about watching what I eat and drink. I eat more fish than chicken (even though I stopped eating chicken for about a year and a half in 2002) and I don't eat beef, pork, lamb, etc. Also, I eat lots of vegetables such as spinach, carrots, cabbage, etc and fruit. My beverage of choice is water....every now and then I'll have a Gatorade to keep my electrolytes in balance...I drink about 3 to 4 1.5 liter bottles of water daily.
