Robert Corapi energized Day 5 with a session on exercise and nutrition. His presentation underscored Think Outside the Cell Week's holistic approach to personal development.
Robert gave the men a cornucopia of useful facts and information about nutrition--from what, when and how much to eat to the importance of eating breakfast and drinking water. When in doubt,he said, adhere to the practice of drinking one ounce of water for every pound you weigh, and drink water throughout the day.
He also helped the men determine their body type--ectomorph, mesomorph or endomorph--and provided helpful tips about the metabolism.
From there, Robert took the men through stretching exercises, both dynamic and static. He stressed the importance of both stretching and warming the muscles before working out. Using Reginald Parker and Bruce Bryant as props, he took the men through their paces.
Robert also talked about the imnportance of sports-specific training. For example, if you're a baseball player, you don't want to train like you're a bodybuilder or boxer. It's important to determine the best exercise and routine for your particular sport, he said.
"I live this," Robert said about the topic of health and fitness. "This is my life." Judging from his credentials, knowledge, enthusiasm and the impressive amount of ground he covered,he left no doubt about that.
