tissue and fat tissue.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The lean tissues
include bone, muscle and organs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Muscle and
organs are considered metabolically active, whereas fat is metabolically much
less active.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This means that muscle and
organs help to increase your metabolism and burn fat and calories, while fat
tissue does almost nothing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Therefore,
it is essential to maintain muscle tissue while losing fat, thus the additional
movement will increase your metabolism.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

compact than a pound of fat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is
helpful to think of a pound of fat as a pound of feathers, and a pound of
muscle as a pound of iron.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The pound of
feathers would clearly take up a lot more space than that same pound of
iron.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By gaining lean body mass (water,
bone and muscle) while losing body fat, you will look and feel lighter, your
clothes will fit better and your overall sense of well being will improve.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In summary, body weight is only one of the

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Managing food cravings is a simple
but difficult process. In my experience, I have seen that when an individual
makes a emotional judgment and gives into eating when they are not hungry it is
often do to temporarily losing sight of their goal(s) and/or continuation of
habits.<br />
<br />
First, understand that there are physical needs during stressful times. Your
body is burning sugar and your cravings are present so you will replace
immediate energy stores. Also know that an Apple is a better choice than junk.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Second, understand your role in the
habits and choices that you have created. You <b>MUST</b> own your choices and
your result. Look past your immediate desire and play out in your mind how
you will feel while eating this "much needed" food. Play out
the after effects. How do you feel once you've finished? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Before you begin to feel stressed is
the best time to focus on how you are handling your day. Monitor your stress
levels. If you are becoming "STRESSED!!!" it is time to take a break,
contemplate your thoughts and actions and choose your next action. This 2-3
minute <i>reset</i> of thinking and breathing acts to calm you and allows you
to retain focus.</span></div>

long as everything is going well. Their choices are sound, their thinking is
pure and their mood is good. However, as soon as one area of life causes stress
this creates a spiral of negative thinking and their mindset goes from "I
am in control" to "This isn't working, I quit!". The stress
could be a work conflict or poor food choice or a missed exercise session. </span></div>

<li>improved energy</li>
<li>increased vitality</li>
<li>feeling proud of yourself</li>
<li>doing good things for your body</li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
Many people use the term "dieting" generically. If your daughter is following a sensible eating plan that incorporates whole grains, fruits and vegetables with plenty of variety and minimal restrictions then I would say to congratulate her.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
If, on the other hand, she is focused on dieting as a means for weight loss it would be important to steer her in the direction of the benefits to changing habits for the long-term.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
Depending on your daughter's age; she may understand the consequences of her actions, but battling marketing and hype that surrounds so many restrictive diets cna be difficult. I believe that by being supportive and by getting involved in a healthier eating plan together you could lead by example. Here a a few more tips for a successful outcome:</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<li>schedule family dinner time 2-3 times per week</li>
<li>cook healthy, great tasting meals together</li>
<li>speak about a few of the unhealthy habits you are focused on changing and why.</li>
<li>have plenty of healthy foods and fruits and vegetables available for the entire family</li>
<li>purchase less "junk food"</li>
<li>create healthier dessert recipes together</li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
Speaking to your daughter about the long-term effects of these beneficial habits and how they are better strategies than a restrictive diet plan will go far in aiding her in making better choices for the rest of her life.<br />

<b>Food Journal = Success</b></h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
* Researchers from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer
Research Center in Seattle studied the eating behaviors of 123
overweight, previously inactive women for a year. Women who kept food
journals and consistently wrote down the foods they ate lost about six
pounds more than women who didn’t.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
*Women who reported skipping meals lost
almost eight fewer pounds than women who did not, and those who ate out
for lunch at least weekly lost on average five fewer pounds than those
who brought in their lunch.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The study appears in an issue of the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.</div>

<br />
Food journalling is extremely important. Consider this: can you accurately recall every single thing that you ate and drank exactly one month ago? We didn’t think so. <br />
<ul>
<li>The more frequently you track how much you move and how much you eat, the better decisions can be made regarding your solution. Ask yourself this: Is my goal short term or long term? If you answered long-term then guesswork has no place in your solution. </li>
<li>Journalling is necessary if you do not have a complete understanding of food amounts and need counseling on making better choices. </li>
<li>There are multiple levels of compliance with food journalling. Some clients track everything from foods eaten, calories, protein, carbohydrates, fats, and meal timing, while others just jot down the foods eaten.</li>
<li>Innovation Fitness Solutions recommends journalling of some sort for the first phase to gain insight into your habits (good and bad). </li>
</ul>
Being aware of your habits and choices and having actual data can help you immensely in attaining your goals.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Tips for creating your food journal:</b></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
• Write down what you’re eating throughout
the day, rather than saving it up to log at the end of the day. Also,
jot down how you are feeling when you eat, and how what you eat makes
you feel.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
• Record your level of hunger along with the foods you eat.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
• Be honest. Measure portions, read food labels, and write down both your slip-ups as well as your better meals.</div>

<h3>
How to do it - </h3>
<b>Phase I</b> - An effective method that I have employed with numerous clients is to have the client journal everything that is eaten and drank for 14 days straight. This gives the client and the coach valuable insights into their habits and choices. From there, the client can choose 2-4 days per week to journal for the next 4 weeks (this helps to maintain the consistency and aids in taking ownership over the new habits being created).<br />
<b>Phase II </b>- The next phase would be to journal on Fridays and Mondays (book-ending the weekend) every week and an additional day of the week to insure that old habits are not creeping back into our day.<br />
<b>Phase III </b>- Finally, the last phase would see the client journaling at least 1 weekday and 1 weekend day for at least 2 weeks of each month. This maintenance journaling plan insures that food portions are not increasing over time.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Franklin Gothic Medium","sans-serif";">You need to be more focused than just thinking “I’m going to try to do better”

</span>You need to select up to three specific daily changes you intend to
make, and you need to commit to making these changes a part of your daily
routine for the next 30 days.<span> </span>It is only
a month, and you chose the changes in part because you thought they would be
easy for you.<span> </span>Promise yourself you will

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Overcoming Obstacles</b></span></div>
<br />
<b>Don’t Look Back</b><br />
Everyone has failures or mistakes from the past. To have success, you
need to learn from your past and value those difficult lessons but do
not every dwell on the past. Simply move forward and make better, more
educated decisions from the lessons learned.<br />
To succeed, you need to have dreams and aspirations. Be honest with
yourself as to what you want out of life and what you want to give of
your life. Allow your mind to dream and think big. Aiming low and
hitting the target is not a good goal.<br />
<br />
<b>Create a plan of Action </b><br />
Create a Business Plan as your very first step if you are planning to
build a business. Whether you will be searching for investors or not,
this plan will be the blueprint to your success. The Business Plan will
consist of market trends, financial planning, competitive analysis, exit
strategies, marketing and promotional options, everything about your
goal. When going before an investor, you will be required to have a
Business Plan. This is by far the most important document of all. If
your success were something personal, you would not need to create a
Business Plan although a project plan would be a good option to allow
you to keep track of everything involving your goal. I am not personally
a fan of a complex business plan. Keep it simple and be able to modify
as needed.<br />
<br />
<b>Persevere </b><br />
To reach success, you have to persevere. Even Thomas Edison had to
learn this. When he was creating the incandescent light bulb, it took
him more than 10,000 times to get it right. Keep striving even when it
becomes challenging.<br />
<br />
You need to have determination. With good intentions, there may be a
close friend or family member that feels it would be better if you
focused your attention in another direction. Uphold your unstoppable
attitude, determined to succeed.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="answerContent">"Giving in" to food cravings is
frustrating for anyone. It represents a loss of control. I have found
great success in controlling your mind and your environment to aid you
to better outcomes.<br />
<br />
Look past your immediate desire and play out in your mind how you
will feel while eating this "much needed" food and then play out the
after effects. How do you feel once your are finished? <br />
A few "rules" I have my clients to focus on is:<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="answerContent">
</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="answerContent">
Keep temptation out of sight. That means clean the counters and
kitchen of "junk" and actually create a scenario where you have to go
purchase the items you want so badly. This will act to slow down your
reaction.<b><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Know WHY you are eating what you are eating</span></b><br />
<br />
Are you hungry or bored or is it just a habit? Or have you convinced
yourself that you deserve it? Play the scenario out to the end again.<br />
</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="answerContent">
Managing food cravings is a simple but difficult process. In my
experience, I have seen that most often when an individual makes a
emotional judgment and gives into eating when they are not hungry it is
often do to temporarily losing sight of their goal(s) and/or
continuation of habits.<br />
Try these tips for controlling food cravings:<br />
<ol>
<li>Develop a mantra. Something like: "I feed my body and my needs, not my taste buds." </li>
<li>Ask yourself questions like: "Why am i going to eat this? Is
it because I actually want it and need it or am I re-actively
responding to an immediate desire?"</li>
<li>Keep focused on your goal. Post it in sight at work and at home and refer to it often.</li>
<li>Drink a glass of water to slow the decision making process
down. Water can make you feel a little fuller AND it will give you
something to do while deciding if you are actually going to give in to
your cravings.</li>
</ol>

<span style="font-family: Perpetua,serif;">The known, inarguable rules to how people gain and lose weight
have been established for years. We at IFS will spend time educating you on
what it will take for you to be successful now and in the future. Most weight
loss methods focus on one of the F’s leaving you to fend for yourself on the
other two aspects. These attempts by the dieter are well meaning but
incomplete. The IFS Body Transformation System will make sure that you are moving the right amount, doing
the most effective and efficient workouts possible while creating a food plan
that is Realistic, Progressive and Maintainable. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Working out improves your health, fitness and
longevity. Initially, when you begin a workout regimen the physiological changes are significant. Your Nervous System is working incredibly
hard to figure out how to handle all of these “new, unaccustomed” stimuli that
it’s experiencing and you will burn significant energy performing the work <u>AND</u> adjusting to the work.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">

significant amount of extra calories every day in an attempt to recover from
this new experience. The downside is
this does not last long. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Our body is designed
for survival. That means that it is
great at conserving and storing energy.
This is a true disadvantage to those of us trying to reverse the amount
of stored energy that we have. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Here are a few suggestions to maximize your exercise time and results. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Chances are you have or will experience most
of them. The good news is you are not
the first person to experience them, and we now how to deal with it.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://innovationfitness.blogspot.com/2012/03/does-being-in-shape-make-you-fit-to.html" target="_blank">Who should you be taking Fitness advice from?</a></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The strategies:</div>
</div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="-moz-font-feature-settings: normal; -moz-font-language-override: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"></span>Bottom line to weigh less: E IN vs. E OUT. If you are attempting to lose weight/fat you
need to expend more calories than you consume.
If you are not losing weight you are not in a deficit. Stop coming up with reasons or excuses and
review your intake in its’ entirety, then review your exercise plan to insure
that you are maximizing your efforts in the gym. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="-moz-font-feature-settings: normal; -moz-font-language-override: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"></span>You need to understand that Weight Loss is different than Maintenance of Muscle while losing Fat. These are two significantly different methods to two significantly different outcomes. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Working out <u>initially</u> burns a significant
amount of <u>extra</u> calories. </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="-moz-font-feature-settings: normal; -moz-font-language-override: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> Your body is an adaptive machine. It's goal is different than your desires.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="-moz-font-feature-settings: normal; -moz-font-language-override: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"></span>Working out for the goal of LIFELONG Fat Loss
is different in methodology from working out for Fitness and Health.</span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Your results slow down after 1-2 months. It is natural. </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="-moz-font-feature-settings: normal; -moz-font-language-override: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Many people will experience a rise in hunger and
appetite as a result of initiating a new workout plan. Understanding what you are eating, when you are eating it and why you are eating are keys.</span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="-moz-font-feature-settings: normal; -moz-font-language-override: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> If you do not connect the dots of FOOD - FITNESS and FOCUS, you will spin your wheels.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Exercise increases the need for nutrients. If you are simultaneously dieting and exercising then the body needs nutrition that is extremely difficult to attain from food alone. If you are in
a nutrient deficit and a calorie deficit, this can begin to
ruin your ‘metabolism’.</span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="-moz-font-feature-settings: normal; -moz-font-language-override: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">The body strives for “the path of least
resistance”. This means that it likes to
be efficient. This is counter-productive
towards any Fat Loss goal. Mentally, you
are striving to burn more calories; physically your body is trying to figure
out how to burn less…</span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="-moz-font-feature-settings: normal; -moz-font-language-override: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">If you are exercising for the same amount of
time and at the same intensity on the same machines for more than a month you
are allowing the body to become efficient.
(S.A.I.D. Principle)</span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="-moz-font-feature-settings: normal; -moz-font-language-override: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="-moz-font-feature-settings: normal; -moz-font-language-override: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"></span>Consuming a meal (Breakfast) is entirely
under-appreciated and the importance of said act is way too overlooked for Fat
Loss. </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="-moz-font-feature-settings: normal; -moz-font-language-override: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Most people weigh themselves too
frequently. You will most likely not
lose 2 ponds of fat overnight, nor will you gain 2 pounds of fat. We all experience temporary and frequent
fluctuations. Weigh yourself every week or two for an accurate measure of what’s happening.</span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="-moz-font-feature-settings: normal; -moz-font-language-override: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="-moz-font-feature-settings: normal; -moz-font-language-override: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"></span>Many people never maximize their effort. I am a huge advocate of coming to the gym
frequently. It burns calories, maintains
tone, and improves overall health. All
of these are great! But, if you are
attempting to alter your body composition it takes a bit more than just showing
up. An all out effort as frequently as
possible will increase your calorie burn per minute. When you don’t have what it takes to give a maximum effort then show up anyway
and work out. When you do have that
‘tweaked’ mental state – use it! Lift
heavier, run faster, jump higher, do more repetitions. As NIKE says: Just Do IT! RIGHT NOW!</span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Make frequent changes to your workout. Workout changes prevent boredom and increase the challenge to your body. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Utilize Strength Training. It helps to maintain muscle tissue, which will help to keep your metabolism higher, it maintains "tone" and it burns more calories than cardio does.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">When doing strength training be sure to use "bang for your buck" exercises that use multiple muscles and motions. If your goal is not to be a bodybuilder, then do not train like one.</span></li>

determined that you have a professional, caring, well meaning and highly

is one more thing left to determine if they are the right trainer for you. Do you like them? Personality types should not be ignored,

a week with this individual. I have
listed a few Personal Trainer Personality Types so you can familiarize yourself

How to choose a Personal Trainer</h2>
<br />
Let’s discuss the absolute necessities when hiring a Personal Fitness Trainer as well as some warning signs of what to avoid. If you make the choice to hire a trainer but more importantly to take the time to hire the right trainer for your personality and fitness goals it can have a huge impact on your life.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<strong>Education:</strong> Most consumers cannot differentiate between a qualified and an unqualified trainer. A starting point is to be sure your trainer is certified through a reputable fitness organization. There are literally hundreds of certifying bodies for Personal Training in The United States. The National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) is an accrediting body in our industry. Make sure that your trainer has at least one accredited certification such as NASM, NCCPT, ACSM, ACE, NSCA or AFAA. An exercise science or other related college degree is helpful but is not necessary. However, the more education your trainer has, the better your results may be.<br />
<br />
<strong>Experience:</strong> I recommend that you choose a trainer with <em>at least </em>two years of industry experience. There is quite a bit to be said for on the job training. Experience accounts for the intangibles such as the ability to communicate better and knowing your limitations. Many novice trainers mistake working you too hard for a good workout. Experienced trainers understand how to properly pace you for injury prevention, exercise recovery and improving the overall enjoyment of the experience.<br />
<br />
Additionally, you must seek a trainer that has the expertise that meets your needs. If <strong>FITNESS</strong> is your goal then most qualified, experienced trainers can certainly do that. If improving athletic <strong>PERFORMANCE</strong> is your goal - this will take a trainer with a different/additional skillset.<br />If <strong>FAT LOSS</strong> is your goal you must seek someone out that understands food intake psychology in addition to their fitness credentials. Do not think that all trainers have the same specialties. They do not. <em> (More to come on this in a future article).</em><br />

<br />
<strong>Intangibles:</strong> Does the trainer communicate with you or at you? Do they use words and terminology that you can easily understand or do you need a fitness dictionary to figure out what they are saying? Use your gut. Do you feel that this person is sincere and truly willing to aid you or that you are now going to fill that small gap in their schedule?<br />
<br />
<strong>An Open Mind:</strong> This is a rapidly expanding field. Fitness, health, weight management and performance sciences are changing every day. Does your trainer evolve as well? Or have they continued to do the same thing over and over. Ask your potential trainer the last continuing education course they attended or if the facility where they are employed provides continuing education.<br />
<br />
<strong>Full Time, Career Minded Individual:</strong> Is this (Training) what your trainer does for a living? Or is it a part time proposition? Chances are the trainer is not as skilled doing part time work because they are spending the majority of their time learning their primary craft.<br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">A
brief Job Description for Personal Trainers - <strong><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";">Motivation, Education and Accountability</span></strong>.
A trainer should get you to enjoy what you are doing (or minimally despise it)
and motivate you to continue exercising. Workouts that a trainer will provide
far exceed the sit down and push experience that most health club goers are
provided. Training sessions are creative and versatile, they are functional and
transferable to the outside world, they are challenging, progressive and
systematic. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://innovationfitness.blogspot.com/2012/02/your-impulsiveness-is-costing-you-your.html" target="_blank">A Coaching and Education post</a><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Great
trainers will also provide education. Many trainers gain knowledge beyond basic
fitness certifications by obtaining advanced certifications, degrees or attending
specialty workshops. <br />
If you are pregnant, have an existing injury, want to change the appearance of
your body or are trying to improve performance then seek out a trainer who has
experience and expertise in these areas. The differences can be staggering. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Lastly,
a great trainer makes you accountable to yourself. Let’s face it, most of us do
not enjoy exercising. A trainer will get you to show up more often than you
will on your own. It is an appointment and it will cost you if you do not show
up which will improve your attendance rate. Plus, many trainers are
charismatic, friendly and funny people! You will enjoy the time you spend with
them on a personal and professional level. It will ease times you are not
looking forward to working out and improve performance on the days that you are
looking forward to. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">A
trainer can figure out why you are not reaching your goal and help provide long
lasting solutions. Chances are your trainer has experience with someone in your
situation before. A trainer will have the ability to sit down and explain what
it will take for you to achieve the result you are after, or why you are not
reaching your current goals. They have experience planning workouts, altering
negative behaviors, guiding you through the confusion and mayhem that is
popular diet and exercise trends and make sure you make the most efficient and
effective choices for the long term. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Results are the trainers #1 priority. It
is our job, duty and responsibility to be prepared to move you forward faster.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: small;">The aforementioned statement is quite compelling, and <i><u>it is fairly naïve to think that we consume every health compound in optimal doses, ratios and at proper times from food alone on a daily basis</u></i>.

<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: small;">Lack of Knowledge by the general population to analyze, buy, store and prepare foods to meet their daily needs.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: small;">Sedentary Environment – low energy needs make it hard to get in all the nutrients without consuming excess calories.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: small;">Food Preferences – fast and convenient foods often are high in calories and low in nutrients.</span></li>

<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Here are 10 reasons why you should take a Multi Vitamin:</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">No one eats perfectly. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is a TON of daily stress (which robs nutrients).</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Most of us eat based on convenience, not nutrition needs.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Exercise increases your nutrient requirements.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fat Loss requires a calorie deficit. Nutrients are found in FOOD! Now you are eating crap AND eating less.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Brain function requires optimal levels of nutrition.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Athletic Performance places high demands on your body. Nutritional requirements are increased for recovery purposes.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Inconsistent eating habits, insufficient chewing of food, eating on the run, and stress contribute to poor digestion, making it difficult for our bodies to extract all the nutrients it needs from food.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pharmaceutical drug use has escalated over time. Most medications deplete essential nutrients, making people more vulnerable to deficiencies.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Specific times in life and health conditions may result in higher needs of certain nutrients. For example, folic acid needs tend to be higher during pregnancy, while menopausal women may be vulnerable to calcium deficiencies.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">BONUS - Increasing levels of environmental pollution in our air, water and food may cause our bodies to use more nutrients than normal to detoxify and eliminate harmful substances. This is especially true of the antioxidant vitamins, some of which include: the “ACE Vitamins:” Vitamins A, C, and E.</span></li>

<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><br />Do yourself a favor and take your Multi Vitamins.</span><br />

<strong>If someone has a friend who is in good shape, who is willing to give
them exercise advice, why is it still a good idea to hire a personal
trainer?</strong></div>
<br />
<div>
<span style="color: red;">Often, very fit people are individuals who have added
workouts as part of their lifestyle (long-term). This is usually a very good thing.
However, what often occurs is that fit people develop beliefs in relation to
which exercises are "good" exercises or "bad" exercises, which ones "work" or "do
not work" etc... If this advice is being passed on to a healthy and fit individual
that is not prone to injury and if the new exerciser takes caution to properly
progress their training program, then in most cases the recommended exercises
will be useful (minimally, it will not be detrimental) for that individual.</span></div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Your friends can only teach you what worked for THEM!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<span style="color: red;">More often than not though, the avid exerciser simply
passes on "rules" that they have memorized that have served <strong>THEM</strong> in reaching their goals. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: red;"></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><blockquote class="tr_bq">

Caution! Many people achieve high levels of fitness not
because of what they do, but in spite of it.</blockquote>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
</span></div>
<span style="color: red;">Often, a new exerciser will need to hire a Professional
Trainer to properly assess their goals, needs and skill level and design a
variable and progressive program that will keep this individual engaged, injury
free and progressing toward their goal. Each person has lifestlye needs that
differ and physiological needs that need uncovereing. These challenges should be considered
when designing the appropriate program for them.</span><br /><span style="color: red;"></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Simply put, there is no substitution for the assessment
and coaching a trainer can give to an individual. Because someone is fit in NO WAY qualifies them to create a fitness program for you. That is akin to someone with nice teeth becoming your Dentist...</blockquote>

<br />
In most cases your friends have the best intentions in the world. Proceed cautiously. They are most likely training incorrectly for their goal(s) too. Most gym goers just copy what the person next to them is doing or follow what the person that they want to look like most is doing (this is called 'Emulation of Winners'). This is not a very wise action plan. That person probably has different parents than you :) so their genetics and body shape are different, they most likely live a different lifestyle and they have been much more consistent with fitness than you. You probably need a fitness plan that is COMPLETELY different than what they are doing.<br />

<div>
A "bootcamp" class is a group fitness class derived from a military style workout. The "bootcamp" class incorporates bodyweight strength training and endurance events to increae fitness levels and burn a great deal of calories. </div>
<div>
The classes have evolved through the years from outdoors to indoors (in many cases) and have begun to utilize equipment such as a TRX (bodyweight suspension system), dummbbells and kettlebells (handheld weights) and battle ropes (long, thick, heavy ropes) to increase the external resistance and challenge to the body..</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
This class style has become increasingly popular over the past few years for a number of reasons:</div>
<ul>
<li>Multiple studies show that people exercise harder and for longer in groups.</li>
<li>The style of class has a lower cost of entry than other Personal or Group Training programs.</li>
<li>Classes are intense and challenging.</li>
<li>People learn to be more creative in their own personal workouts.</li>
</ul>
Give a bootcamp or Group Training Program a try. You will be surprised at how much harder you can work with the support of a trainer and a few friends.<br />

Your <em><u>Patience muscle and your Strategy muscle</u></em>. If the only strategy you have relied upon for success is willpower (as in: I will not eat junk, I will not eat late, I will not eat this and that etc...) take a moment to see how futile that thought process is to your long-term success.<br />
You'll need to learn more tools for your toolbox and learn to utilize those tools at different times based upon your needs. Aligning your thoughts with your reactions will be a vital component to offsetting those feelings of anxiety and doom. <br />
<br />
<br />
If your success program does not include strategies to deal with all of the obstacles we ALL tend to deal with from time to time then reevaluate your program. Give yourself a reality check, make a flexible and complete plan and get consistent with your emotions and actions.<br />
You must accept that you need to <strong><u>UN</u></strong>learn certain things and learn other NEW things in order to have a different persepective and life.<br />

Once again I find my Cowboys enjoying the Super Bowl the same I will be - watching on TV. At least it is not being played in their stadium this year...<br />
<br />
Being a Cowboy fan from New Jersey has proven to be difficult from time to time and I am sure to make more people unhappy with this prediction:<br />

Sorry, I expect Eli to have a great game (3 TD's) but Tom and the Kraft family have a mission to fulfill. I believe it will be too much to overcome.<br />
<br />
Now, onto the reason for the post:<br />
<br />
<strong>Feeding frenzy:</strong><br />
Chips, Dips, Wings, Pizza, More Chips, that thing your friend made that you can't stop eating, more chips, potato skins, soda, stuff you don't even like and a "small" piece of the football shaped cake... It adds up to BIG calories. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, all the Football partying with the excess food and alcohol often make it hard for us to actually fit into our clothes the next morning. The easiest way to cut calories through watching your alcohol intake. Each gram of alcohol yields seven calories that are metabolized like fat calories. Since our bodies cannot store excess alcohol, they use it as a preferred source of energy so as not to reach toxic levels. As a result, just about everything we eat while drinking is stored in all the wrong places! In addition, drinking too much can also reduce our control over our appetites…and thus a vicious cycle begins!<br />

Now, do not worry, we are not telling you that you should not consume "adult beverages" during the Super Bowl. However, there are certain cocktails or drinks that may be lighter than others. Here’s a breakdown:<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Fun and Easy Substitutions</u></strong><br />
<ol>
<li><em>Cosmopolitan vs. Sour Apple Martini: </em>Instead of having a Cosmopolitan, which contains 3 oz. citrus-flavored vodka, .5oz each of triple sec and lime juice with a plash of cranberry juice, and 251 calories, try a Sour Apple Martini with 2.5 oz sour mix, .75oz each of vodka and sour apple liqueur, and only 160 calories.<strong>Caloric Savings: 91 Calories</strong></li>
<li><em>The White Russian vs. The Mudslide: </em>Instead of having a White Russian with .75 oz each of vodka and Kahlua, 3 oz of cream, and 338 calories, try a Mudslide with .75 oz each of vodka, Bailey’s and Kahlua, and 184 calories. <strong>Caloric Savings: 154 Calories</strong></li>
<li><em>Long Island Iced Tea vs. Tequila Sunrise: </em>Instead of having a Long Island Iced Tea with 5 oz of sour mix, .5 oz each of vodka, gin, tequila, rum, triple sec, and cola with ice, and 338 calories, try a Tequila Sunrise with 6.5 oz of orange juice, 1 oz of tequila, a splash of grenadine, ice, and 209 calories. <strong>Caloric Savings: 114 Calories</strong></li>
<li><em>The Margarita vs. The Mojito: </em>Instead of a Margarita with 4 oz of pre-made margarita mix and tequila, and 338 calories, try a Mojito with 1.5 oz of rum, .5 oz of lime juice, 2 teaspoons of sugar, crushed mint, ice and 132 calories. <strong>Caloric Savings: 206 Calories</strong></li>
<li>Beer vs. Lite Beer: A typical 12 oz. Beer contains 140-160 calories. A "Lite" Beer measures in from 70 - 100 calories. <strong>Caloric Savings: 40 -60 calories</strong></li>
</ol>
<strong><u>Drank Too Much?</u></strong><br />
If you still overdid it on the alcohol, taking these precautions may help you feel better the next morning:<br />
<ul>
<li>Alternate a glass of water with your drink of choice</li>
<li>Have something light to eat while you are drinking to absorb some of the alcohol</li>
<li>Have a big glass of water before you go to bed and take a <em>Multivitamin</em><em>.</em></li>
</ul>
Have fun and be smart with your food choices. Your body does not know or care that it's Super Bowl Sunday.<br />
