Fitness Tips and Tools

There is no "quick fix" for losing weight, toning up, or getting in shape so stop looking!
Here's the not-so-secret formula:

You have to want to do it.
You have to set achievable fitness and nutrition goals.
You have to decide how important your goals are.
You have to analyze your priorities.
You have to determine what you are willing to do to achieve success.
You have to find a way to make it happen!

The most efficient fat burning workout strategy is to incorporate a mixture of cardiovascular exercise and weight training or resistance exercise. Cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise burns calories during the workout whereas weight training or resistance exercise (anaerobic) continues to burn calories for hours after the workout. The surgeon general recommends 30 minutes of aerobic exercise 3-4 times per week for cardiovascular health .

Do the math... 90-95% of people who lose weight with diet gain most of the weight back within 3 to 5 years. Often times more body fat or weight is gained back due to yo-yo dieting. Permanent changes in eating habits and exercise are required for sustained weight loss.

I'm not saying that it is going to be easy... but are you willing to do what it takes to improve
your health, body composition and overall quality of life? If you're not sure how to start, I can help...

Bodyweight Exercise of the Month

Single Leg Romanian Deadlift

Summary:

Here's a good standing exercise for your hamstrings and hiney. The romanian deadlift has been around for many years. This single leg version will challenge your balance and stability in addition to working your hamstrings and glutes. Variations of this exercise can be performed with 1 hand or both hands and you can add the resistance of a medicine ball, 1 or 2 dumbbells, or a barbell if you want to make it more difficult.

Count: 2 count

Description:

Description: Stand on your left foot with your right foot raised behind you and your arms hanging in front of you. Keeping a natural arch in your spine, push your hips back as you lower your hand (or both hands) and upper body. Squeeze your glutes and press your heel into the floor to return to an upright position. Complete your reps on one leg before repeating on the other leg. Keep your knee slightly bent throughout the exercise.

Target: legs and butt (hamstrings & gluteus maximus)
