Be Consistent to Reach Your Health and Fitness Goals

Sean — Sun, 10 Apr 2011 03:37:30 +0000

One of the best things you can do to reach your health and fitness goal is to be consistent! Working out and eating healthy food is great, but if you don’t have consistency it won’t matter. Working out twice a week and eating nutritious foods once in a while won’t get you where you want to go.

I know. You are thinking, “It’s hard to be consistent!” We all deal with that as life has a tendency to get in the way. But so do our poor excuses and laziness. Here are a few things you can implement to help you stay on track:

Set Goals – Set weekly goals to follow. Start out with “baby steps” and work up to bigger ones. Keep them realistic to avoid disappointment.
Get a Partner – Try to find someone that wants to embark on your journey with you. You can then keep each other accountable for you workouts and diet.
Empty Those Cabinets – Throw out (yes you read that correctly) all your junk food at home! Take away the temptation and it will be much easier to succeed!
Make Small Changes to Your Diet – Most people’s diets fail them because they try to abandon their old eating habits all at once. Some people may be all or nothing but not all. Slowly work more fruits and veggies and healthier meals into your daily routines.
Schedule Your Workouts - Give your workouts priority! Our lives are very busy so schedule in time for your workout just like any other important meeting or appointment.
Keep Your Workouts Fresh – Change up your workouts and try new things to stave off boredom. Most people quit because they are bored or plateau. Keeping things new and exciting will keep you interested and motivated.

These are just a few things you can do! Remember CONSISTENCY IS KEY! Being healthy and fit isn’t an overnight process. It takes time and energy but is one of the best investments you can make.

Exercise Rest and Recovery – Why You Need It

Sean — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 17:12:01 +0000

I get many questions from clients about rest, recovery, and stretching after exercise. How much rest do I need? Do I really need to stretch? Both are vital components in your fitness regimen. Let’s take a look at rest first.

Your body needs time to repair and recover. Especially when it comes to extreme workouts like P90X and Insanity. Sometimes a rest day is the best thing you can do for your body. When you workout, you create microscopic tears in your muscles. When you are resting, your body will begin to repair these tears utilizing proteins and amino acids that you are hopefully providing with a recovery drink after your workouts. This is what will lead to building lean muscle.

Rest doesn’t just include days off from training. It also includes sleep! The body does most of it’s repair work when you are sleeping. So be sure to give yourself a minimum of six hours. Eight is the optimum number but just not a reality for some.

Stretching is also key and should be implemented into your workout routine. There are many benefits to stretching no matter what age or fitness level.

Here’s a few:

Reduced muscle tension
Enhanced muscular coordination
Increased circulation of blood to various parts of the body
Increased energy from the increase in circulation

Stretching doesn’t requite a huge time commitment. Simple stretch techniques can be done while watching TV or before bed. If you are weight training you can stretch between sets as you don’t increase your gym time.

Daily stretching should be done even if you aren’t working out on a regular basis. It can lengthen your muscles and increase range of motion thus preventing injury and making daily activities easier. Also a post-workout stretch can help reduce muscle soreness and speed up recovery.

Implement these two important components into your daily routines to get the maximum benefit out of not only your workouts but also more importantly your body!

Home Workouts: Cost and Time-Efficient Fitness Solution

Lisa — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 00:58:23 +0000

Not doing home workouts yet? You probably think working out in front of your television is strange and you won’t feel comfortable doing it. Well think about how uncomfortable it is working out in front of tons of people at a gym full of judgment. That’s one sure fire way to quit your exercise program! Although there are many benefits to working out at home, here a just few important reasons:

If you have children, you can set an example. With the growing trend of childhood obesity in our county, showing your children that working out and staying active is important. There are too many parents out there that let their children sit in front of the television or on the computer and don’t encourage physical activity. This can lead to many diseases that normally wouldn’t affect a person until much later on in life like diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

Who wants to pay for an overpriced gym membership? I know I don’t. When you do home workouts, the fitness programs and equipment you purchase have a one time cost, many of which are very low. Gym memberships charge a monthly fee. And many have a nice contract you have to sign so if you stop going to the gym, you still have to pay for the membership that you don’t use!

Working out at home is a time saver. People are busy these days! There isn’t any driving to the gym, sitting in traffic or waiting for equipment. It’s all right in front of you at your own home and you can workout at your own pace.

There are many more reason to get your workout done at home, the list can go on and on. Stay home, get fit, save time and save money - transform your body in the convenience of your home!

Health and fitness is one of the biggest challenges people face all year long. We all know we need to eat right and exercise but very few people do it! Why? It all comes down to habits.

You may be looking for a quick fix to your weight problem but there is none! It took a long time for you to in your current health condition and it take time and work to improve it.

Fitness Tips – 6 Ways to Stay Motivated

Lisa — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 18:05:17 +0000

Fitness and health – we all want it! To get fit and healthy, you need to stick with an exercise program and stay motivated for long-term success! Here are 6 fitness tips to stay you stay motivated and effective. Now, get moving!

Set realistic fitness goals
Losing weight and getting fit takes time. If you have a special event and want to lose 25 pounds in 1 month, forget it. It’s not going to happen and you should not expect it to. Be smart – losing 1 to 2 pounds a week is the healthy way to go for lasting results.

Focus on being healthy, not thin
Shedding pounds is often temporary if you just focus on being thin. Instead, learn how to eat healthy and incorporate your new eating habits into your lifestyle. When you start living a healthy lifestyle, you will likely lose weight and start feeling better.

Get your proper sleep and rest
Rest is as important as exercise! When you workout, you tear down your muscles. Rest helps you recover from those tough weight workouts! You also recover faster from exercise when you eat proper nutritional foods.

Do not overtrain your muscles
If you are just starting out with exercise, don’t overdo it! Ease into your new exercise routine so your muscles have a chance to adapt to your new lifestyle. If you get over-enthusiastic and over-train your muscles, you will get burnt-out and your muscles will be exhausted.

Be disciplined
Are you committed to your exercise program or just interested? Committed means you stick with it while just interested means you will do it whenever. To reap the benefits of your fitness program you must be disciplined and do it!

Track your progress
When you track your health and fitness progress, it helps you see results and keeps you motivated! Weight loss is not the only way to measure your progress, there is so much more! For example, you can take your measurements, write down the weights you use and how many repetitions, or take a new photo of yourself every couple of weeks!

Getting Lean with HIIT Workouts – High Intensity Interval Training

Paul — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 17:23:45 +0000

HIIT, also known as High Intensity Interval Training, wind sprints, fartleks, whatever you like to call it is a form of exercise that has been proven to burn more fat. It’s different than traditional cardio, ie 30min of jogging, elliptical at a moderate intensity. HIIT is basically short bursts of high intensity exercise separated by periods of lower intensity effort. It is the bursts of high intensity periods that brings the results.

You can find millions of pages on High Intensity Interval Training workout plans, but it all does the same thing. I like to keep it simple. High intensity bursts, then low intensity. I usually perform it on a track. Since I live about half a mile from a school, I would jog there and be warmed up for my HIIT workout. I sprint the straight aways and jog the turns, simple. I aim for 8-10 laps. By the 8th lap, I’m beat, I sometimes have to walk the turns for the last couple of laps, my lungs gasping for oxygen and my legs feel like jello, by the time stumble back home I feel like a zombie. I’d have my Shakeology and a scoop of P90X Whey Protein Powder , take a shower, and I’m ready for bed…

But running could be hard on my joints, plus it gets boring and could be un-motivating, so I often switch it up my routine by doing INSANITY workout on days that is too cold, raining or just don’t feel like running. Insanity is definitely a TOTAL body HIIT workout, especially the Max Interval Circuit DVD, excellent alternative and nice change of pace. I get the same satisfaction as if I get home from my track workout, except it’s my whole body that is beat. The only stumbling is to my kitchen, have my Shakeology + P90X Whey Protein Powder, take a shower, and I’m ready for bed…

Lisa suggested that I try the recently introduced TurboFire, She said that TurboFire is a HIIT gem, adding another option to my workout routine. I will definitely give that a try. Plus Chalene is more pleasant to look at than Shaun…

Long and slow is how a 30lb overweight person finish a marathon, great feat indeed, but our goal here is to burn fat in the most efficient manner, not run a marathon. So if you want to have the ability to raise your metabolism and fat burning capability, HIIT is much more valuable than just a cardio workout or a simple calorie deficit. Whether you try my track workout, Insanity, or the new Turbofire , you will burn more calories for many hours post exercise and more of it will be fat compared to low intensity cardio.
