Weight Gain and Age

Posted by Admin on Mar Tue, 2013 in General Fitness | 0 comments Weight Gain & Age For many of us, weight gain as we age is inevitable, but highly preventable. It is not unusual for people to become less physically active as we age, which does cause weight gain.

Importance of the warmup and cooldown

Posted by Admin on Dec Sun, 2011 in General Fitness | 0 comments I am still surprised after so many years of scientific proof, that the majority of gym goers do not start their workout off with a brief warmup and then finalizing their workouts with a similar cool down. The overall intent of a warmup and cool down is to indirectly reduce risk of injury.   Starting a workout with a light warmup forces blood vessels of working muscles to dilate, thus...

Bootcamp Fitness; it’s here to stay… but it’s always been here

Back in the 70s there were all these vibrating belt contractions and...

Posted by Admin on Feb Wed, 2011 in General Fitness | 0 comments If you feel you’ll finally be happy when you get the body of your dreams,  you may as well just think again! Happiness won’t necessarily come when your body looks its best (a subjective term, anyways); it comes when you “feel” your best and that state of mind will have nothing to do with how your body looks nor what the scale says. Some of the skinniest women I have known...

Easy tips to speed up your metabolism

Posted by Admin on Feb Wed, 2011 in General Fitness | 0 comments I strongly believe in the theory that each person has an “optimum level” of metabolism where  it will function at a level adequate for survival, so that minor shifts do not stress the overall system, will maintain an adequate amount of body fat for that level of overall activity allowing for minor shifts for sudden changes in environment… hope that made sense.

Don’t mind most of the fitness calculators when it comes to establishing your RMR

Posted by Admin on Feb Tue, 2011 in General Fitness | 0 comments I have been blessed with the internet! Yesterday I went online testing RMR calculators to determine people’s metabolic burn and it’s funny how off they all are. First of all, they do not take into consideration how much of someone’s weight is fat or muscle. With muscle burning a whopping 30 to 70 times more calories than fat per pound, its no wonder they do not work. I...

HINTS TO LOSE FAT, TONE MUSCLES & INCREASE METABOLISM

Posted by Admin on Feb Tue, 2011 in General Fitness | 0 comments - Focus on behavior change and habits versus actual results. Results will come Think of the process as a ball rolling uphill with the top of the hill being your goal. Once you start, the ball starts to roll upwards. If you quit, the ball comes to a stop, then starts to roll backwards. - strength train all body parts once a week. Cardio 5-6 times a week !  I recommend high intensity cardio for...
