I visited the Harlem YMCA and spoke with Personal Trainer Donte Jones about what foods were good for helping the body as well as foods to avoid. Donte said stick with the fruits and vegatables, stay away from sweets and fatty foods, fast foods, cakes, pies and donuts. Also drink plenty of water. We then proceeded to go around the gym and work on several workout machines. I have posted a link to video interview and workout demonstrations. In the video Donte gives instructions on how to use the machines effectively.
