My favorite personal trainer icon-Jillian Michaels

Staying active with cycling, golf and a strong aerobic and strength training program helps me to stay in shape and have fun.

Over the years I have found success with, Jillian Michael’s online program, losing it with Jillian.  Her online program gives me flexibility with my work out, from the time that I chose to work out to the variety of workouts that incorporate interval training needed to burn fat and build muscle. 

Jillian Michael’s online program also provides other needed tools such as, journaling that enables you to keep track of your calorie intake, your level of energy you had during a particular workout and to journal about your accomplishments.  Her online program also provides you with a weekly grocery list so shopping is based upon healthy meal planning.

Staying focused on your fitness goals takes planning and preparation and with Jillian’s online program you will be fully prepared for the road to success.

Thanksgiving Healthy Eating Tips

You know what they say, “Don’t go shopping hungry,” well Thanksgiving is no different.  Don’t come to the dinner table hungry

·         Fill your plate half with veggies, one quarter with meat and the rest with starches

·         Limit your side dishes with smaller portions

·         Make substitutions with foods like sour cream and chicken broths and instead use yogurt or fat-free items

·         Drink at least 8oz of water an ½ hour before dinner to reduce over indulgence.  Drinking water will add a sense of fullness

·         Skip seconds, there is always tomorrow

·         Eat breakfast and have your normal fruit and vegetables snacks to reduce over eating when the main event begins.

·         We all love pie but the pie crust is where all the calories are so explore; find recipes that maybe gluten free, dairy free or fat free and cut some calories

Enjoy and indulge responsibly so your fitness regime doesn't have to include restarting your fitness goals and ending up having to buy new workout clothes.

Asana

Breathing techniques, poses, movements and meditation, known as yoga is an ancient form of exercise that develops and improves physical, emotional and spiritual health.  Think of the union occurring between the mind, body and spirit or the practice of physical postures or poses, this is yoga.

Yoga is really about creating balance in the body.   Developing both strength and flexibility through the performance of poses or postures and each having its own physical benefits to your kidneys, intestines, nervous system and other pelvic organs.  Lung capacity is improved as well as posture and will leave you feeling less fatigued.

When beginning yoga you should work with a certified instructor and confer with your physician prior to beginning.  Round out your workout with the proper yoga gear, such as mats, blocks and fitness attire.

Do you use fitness apps?  I do, only one.  I do a set of sit-ups a few times a week from a free app.  Sit ups gradually increase your endurance and cardiovascular health.  The strength built in your abdominal region will continue to grow as your maintain a regiment that varies every few weeks.  Include a formula that allows you to burn more calories than you take in and you have the perfect formula to develop great abs.  Show off those great abs in some of the inspired fashions at wearitoutfitness.com.  See ya there.
