Fitness Support
Posted by (0) Comment
When you are trying to get in shape, it is very important to have a support staff around you along the way. Whether this is family, friends or coaching, it is an invaluable tool to ensure your success. This means a person or group of people that respect your fitness and health goals and not tempt you into the wrong food choices or try and derail you from your fitness training plan. Remind them how important this is to you and you need their support and encouragement and who knows, they may end of training right along side you.

A recent article in Health News states that we, typically ignore the advice on diet and nutrition that we get almost daily now. Why is that? You would think, with nearly 2/3 of us being overweight, the light bulb would have gone off by now. Obviously not. What is it going to take to make us realize that the unhealthy ways of fast food and fast lifestyle are going to play a large role in our downfall?
Please, please, please…..I’ve said this before, take care of your body, if not for yourself than for your family! You only get one and you usually only get one chance to set an example without the need for extremes. Take advantage of this. Eat better and exercise daily. Start today!

Eat More Food…..Really!
Posted by (0) Comment
How many times have you starved yourself into either not losing weight or even gaining the weight back from your latest diet plan. Most diets and most people make a huge mistake and cut so many calories out of their meal plans that they put their bodies into what we call protection or starvation mode. Yes, your body is defending against you starving it. It is a natural occurrence in all people and it can be the biggest nutrition mistake you can make. Remember to EAT, but make sure that you are doing the following healthy meal plan tips.
a. Reduce caloric intake no more than 500 from your maintenance levels.
b. Eat more early and less later – Breakfast should be the biggest meal of the day.
c. Eat 5-6 small meals daily
d. Eat every 3 hours
e. Do not eat at least 3 hours before bedtime
f. Balance is the key – Not too much protein, fat or carbs
g. Eat high quality lean proteins – Fish, lean Poultry and very lean red meats
h. Eat high quality Carbs – 100% Whole Grains, high in fiber
i. Drink plenty of Water – Green Tea and Low or No calorie fluids
j. Keep Sugar to a minimum – Use Splenda or Stevia as a sugar alternative
k. Keep sodium in check – No extra salt added to your meal plan
l. Eat foods from the most natural state possible – Processed foods tend to have lots of preservatives, sugar, salt, fat, and those things that make you gain weight.

Interval Cardio
Posted by (0) Comment
Instead of setting your machine or your stride at the same pace and just going at it for half an hour or so, use interval training for better results and less boredom. Start each cardio session with an easy pace on the machine of your choosing, then, after a 3-5 minute warm-up, increase your difficulty level every for a period of 30 seconds before dropping back down to your original warm-up level for 30 seconds, then repeat.
We suggest beginners start with 15 second intervals for their “fast” pace and 45 seconds on their “easy” portion of each interval, working to reverse that order incrementally with time. Always remember to end each interval cardio session with a cool-down of 3-5 minutes as well.
Interval training can be used for any type of cardio, whether done indoors on a machine or outside with no equipment. It is the BEST means of cardio available to provide a lean, strong body!

No Missing Meals
Posted by (0) Comment
The age old phrase “Three Squares a Day” is OUTDATED! Just like so many other “rules” passed down from generation to generation, this one has in fact been proven to be inefficient. You must keep your body fed often in order to keep your metabolism and energy level revved up and to do so, 3 meals a day is just not enough. Your real goal should be a meal or snack every 2-3 hours. Failure to feed your body continuously will cause fat storage and a decrease in energy. Even if you are not hungry just yet, pick a small, healthy snack every 2-3 hours. You’ll feel and look better, both now and later.

Be Realistic from the Start
Posted by (0) Comment
It would be great if you could train for a week and see magical results, but that’s not how Getting in Shape and improving your health works. Just like Getting out of shape does not happen in one day, you will not see results immediately when you start any type of fitness training program. Be Realistic, Be prepared and Set Short, Medium and Long Term Goals. When you make your fitness goals realistic and attainable you will ensure a greater success for sticking with your fitness program for life.

Exercise
Posted by (2) Comment
The best exercise is the one that you will do. Walking is considered one of the best choices because it’s easy, safe and cheap. Brisk walking can burn as many calories as running, but is less likely than running or jogging to cause injuries. And it doesn’t require any training or special equipment, except for good shoes. Walking is an aerobic and weight-bearing exercise, so it is good for your heart and helps prevent osteoporosis.
The term weight-bearing exercise is used to describe exercises that work against the force of gravity. Weight-bearing exercise is important for building strong bones. Having strong bones helps prevent osteoporosis and bone fractures later in life. Examples of weight-bearing exercises include walking, jogging, hiking, climbing stairs, dancing and weight training.
Weight training, or strength training, builds strength and muscles. Calisthenics like push-ups are weight-training exercises too. Lifting weights is a weight training exercise. If you have high blood pressure or other health problems, talk to your family doctor before beginning weight training.
Aerobic exercise is the type that moves large muscle groups and causes you to breathe more deeply and your heart to work harder to pump blood. It’s also called cardiovascular exercise. It improves the health of your heart and lungs. Examples include walking, jogging, running, aerobic dance, bicycling, rowing, swimming and cross-country skiing.

Iron
Posted by (0) Comment
If you feel sluggish, you may not be getting enough iron in your diet. The RDA is 8 mg for men and for women over 50. Younger women need 18 mg per day. You can get this through snacks like yogurt with almonds and berries, a whole grain wrap with chicken, cheese, and spinach, or cottage cheese topped with sunflower seeds.

Warming Up & Stretching
Posted by (0) Comment
Start every workout with a short warm-up. This will make your muscles and joints more flexible. Spend 5 to 10 minutes doing some light cardio and stretching exercises. Do the same thing when you’re done working out, until your heart rate returns to normal. Stretching should only be done during or after your workout, never before. Stretching cold muscles is not recommended. Lastly, pay attention to your body during exercise of any type. Stop exercising if you feel very out of breath, dizzy, faint or nauseated, or have pain.

Getting Started……
Posted by (0) Comment
Talk to your doctor about how much exercise is right for you, especially if you have any health problems, or if you’re pregnant or elderly. A good goal for many people is to work up to exercising 4 to 6 times a week for 30 to 60 minutes at a time. Remember though that exercise has so many benefits that any amount is better than none.
