Rincón, Puerto Rico - A town known for surfing, whale watching, beautiful sunsets, and world-class snorkeling. The place of my birth, where I spent the first 15 years of my life. A place most people dream of visiting, but I was fortunate enough to call home. I’m stoked to make my first Travel Destination about my laid-back little corner of paradise, there’s no place like home, especially when that home is Rincón.

When it comes to weight loss, nutrition plays a huge part, more than you would think. About 80% of it is nutrition and the rest is your weight training or cardio routines. It’s also very important to note that the key here is going to be consistency, my good friend and personal trainer Hans told me this and it has stuck ever since, it takes 21 days to make a habit and 90 days to make it a lifestyle. This is a great rule of thumb but keep in mind everyone is different and it can take people up to 200 days to fully form a new habit, the takeaway here is: commit to it. No matter what, just commit. This is where a lot of these apps come in handy. You can use them to track your nutrition, set notifications, and reminders to help you get off the couch, compete against yourself to achieve your next PR (Personal Record), the list goes on.
