Fit Tip 10/21/2011 - Stress

Stress-

The problems of stress levels in our society are well documented. In fact, I’ve read that stress is responsible for up to 80% of disease. There can hardly be anyone who does not identify with the feelings of being 'stressed out'. On a long-term basis it is understood that stress is not only cumulative, it is actually causing us serious physical damage. So how do we cope with it?

A healthy diet comprised of fruits, vegetables, meats and nuts coupled with 3 to 5 days of exercise will help overcompensate for many of the negative side effects of stress!

Regular Massage is generally considered part of complementary and alternative medicine. It's increasingly being offered along with standard treatment for a wide range of medical conditions and situations. Many studies have found massage helpful for Stress relief.

Tip of the Week - 10/15/2011

An extremely important part of your fitness program is being able to measure your progress. Body fat testing is not painful, nor is it expensive. Simply schedule an appointment with one of the trainers. It's also a good idea to take before and after photos and post them somewhere you'll see them every day.

Fit Tip-

Rest and recovery is not the same as skipping a workout. Successful athletes and fitness enthusiasts on every level build this crucial component into their training programs.

Positive overloads cause the body to respond with increases in strength, cardiovascular capacity and flexibility. This positive overload, balanced with rest and recovery is the optimal training formula.

If you attempt maximum effort workouts every day, you risk overtraining. This can lead to staleness, exhaustion and injury. Rest and recovery, built into your workout program will keep your workouts productive and your body healthy. Here’s how to do it:

1. Use “active recovery” to maximize time and avoid over training. Active recovery or active rest is productive recuperation performed between exercises or even between workouts. For example, yoga between boot camp or personal training will allow you to rest those hard working muscles without requiring total inactivity. Cross-training with fun, lower intensity recreational activities between formal workout days will help you to recover, but still keep you active.

2. Vary the intensity of your workouts throughout the week. 

3. Vary the activities or exercises within your program. 

4. Take at least one actual day of rest each week. This is important for both mental and physical health. Massage is a proven method to unwind the mind and sooth the muscles.  We’ll even relax your wallet by giving you 50% off your first massage through October 1^st. Purchase a massage package and I’ll buy you a facial with Mellissa!!!!

Fit Tip Sept 5th

We all have habits for how we work, how we eat, how we drive, how we do everything. What makes a habit good or bad is whether it moves us closer to or pushes us away from our goals. 

For those of us who have established years of un-healthy habits that push us away from our goals. Let me assure you I’ve personally had the privilege to witness new, healthy habits form in as little as 4-weeks. That’s right. Four-weeks. A few workouts a week is all it takes to get started. Add a little walking in between, get some nutritional guidance and in a few weeks your down 10 pounds, your blood pressure is a little lower and your not only looking and feeling a lot happier and healthier but you will have replaced bad habits with good habits.

It doesn’t  matter who you are or how old you are, you absolutely have the ability to be healthy. Quit making excuses, find some reasons (there are a lot of them) to become healthy and we’ll help you follow through.

Happy Labor Day,

Jeramy Price

Fit Tip

One of our clients brought a bag of elk meet to the gym last night. My 3-year old son had no idea what an elk was, as a result I YouTubed (is that a word yet?) elk videos so he could see what he was eating... thinking he may actually eat his dinner for once.  The best videos were of bull elk protecting their harem. These bull elk are so attracted to their cows that they fight to the death to protect what is/was there’s. Whether it be humans or animals... the law of attraction is natural. It seems that having a sense of focus on something or someone is a daily occurrence for anything that lives and breathes. 

In our business, we want to attract adults who want to lose wt, get off the meds, increase their energy, learn how to exercise and eat right.  We are a results driven club. When people get results, there is nothing more “attractive” to us as trainers.

I absolutely believe that nothing could be more pathetic than owning a gym that doesn’t have the staffing necessary to deliver great results.

Like a pretty smile attracts a friendly response, “Better Bodies” will absolutely help you break through your plateau, set goals and create a plan. All you need to do is call us at 731-1668 so we can help.

See you in the gym,

Jeramy Price

Fit Tip of the week, August 21st

 “Outside-In/Inside-Out Approach To Aging”

The old saying goes,” you can't always judge a book by its cover”, but when it comes to your health, what shows on the outside is a reflection of what’s on the inside. 

One of the many changes in our society in recent years is that we no longer accept the obvious signs of aging as unavoidable. Entire areas of scientific research are dedicated not only to preventing aging from an outside-in approach but from a wellness inside-out method.

Our outside-in approach promotes, anti-aging treatments, skin maintenance programs, treating dry, brittle, normal or damaged nails and hair color restoration. 

The wellness approach to anti-aging encourages us to devote time to ourselves, to eating healthful foods and to regular exercise. In years past, we considered these as luxuries; it is now apparent that achieving balance in these areas is a necessity for prevention of pre-mature aging caused by the various internal and external stressors experienced in today’s society. Our inside-out method includes massage, free nutritional consultations, one-on-one fitness instruction, group fitness, yoga, pilates and spin.

Rejuvenate yourself inside and out with a quick 30-minute workout, 60 minute massage, Me facial and shampoo blow dry for just $249. 

Take Care Of Yourself,

Jeramy Price
