Do You Read Food Labels?

It’s important to be aware of what’s in your food as manufacturers often hide large amounts of sugar or unhealthy fats in packaged food, even food claiming to be healthy.

Set Yourself Up for Success

To set yourself up for success, think about planning a healthy diet as a number of small, manageable steps—like adding a salad to your diet once a day—rather than one big drastic change. As your small changes become habit, you can continue to add more healthy choices.

Change Up the Order of Your Exercises

Have you ever gone to the gym and done just one or two exercises for your routine? We are always talking to you about changing your order of exercises or the exercises themselves. If you are exercising chest/triceps, try doing bench press and in between sets perform tricep dips to fatigue. Then try a tricep pressdown with max push-ups in between each set.

Challenge Yourself Today

Increase your intensity of exercise, whether it be adding 5 extra pounds to each set of exercise or simply increasing your speed on the treadmill, make sure you are pushing yourself today.

Mix it Up

Tired of performing the same cardiovascular exercise day in and day out? Try splitting it up. For example, spend 10 minutes doing intervals on the treadmill, jump rope for 10 minutes and then finish off with a 10 minute bike ride. Remember to make your exercise routines entertaining for yourself.

Workout Tips

If you are lifting your upper body today for your exercise routine, in between each set, we want you to do 30 standing squats just with your own body weight. If you are lifting your lower body today, then in between each set perform 25 pushups.

Exercise is Good For You!

A daily dose of physical activity is sure to do your body good!

Goal For Today

Intensity. Speed up your resistance training today or lift heavier in each set to ensure that you are keeping a high intensity today. If you are utilizing the cardiovascular equipment then increase the speed or the incline to boost up the intensity.

Resistance Training

Increase your weight for each set during your resistance training today. We encourage you to push yourself beyond limits that you are comfortable with. If you need an extra boost or a spotter, talk to the certified personal trainers.

Get your cardiovascular exercise in today. If you don't feel like you have the energy, find a friend to exercise with you. There is no excuse today.

Resistance Exercises

There are hundreds of variations to do in the fitness center and achieve the overall same effect when it comes to resistance exercises. What is your favorite resistance exercise when you are in the fitness center? It is always good to talk with others about your exercise routine, because you may find out something that you have never done before and can incorporate into your own workout.

Keep that heart rate up today. In between your resistance exercise sets, perform some jumping jacks. Don't just 'rest' today, make it a challenge for yourself and keep that intensity high.

Your Metabolism

Your metabolism works off two main things: genetics and lean muscle mass. The main reason metabolism slows with age is based upon your lean body mass. When you're younger you move more, and as people get older they move less. Therefore the lean body mass of an individual will decrease unless they continue exercising or begin to exercise more. Also, if you have very little lean muscle mass then you will not burn as many calories in a day as someone who has lots of muscle mass. Talk to a certified personal trainer today about an exercise routine that will keep you on the right track.
