Spring Season Body Fat Assessment

<strong>Its a good idea to get a Spring season body fat and fitness assessment if you have been inactive for a while.</strong> You need to know where you are with fitness and how to begin taking steps to improve your health. <strong>If you are overweight or have too much body fat (a skinny person can have too much body fat), your body is not as healthy as it could be....start making changes today!</strong> <br /><br /><strong>Here are some tips:</strong><br /><br /><strong>1. Identify your fitness goals and determine why your fat loss and weight loss efforts have failed or succeeded in the past.</strong> You also have to get your motivation right for your exercise program to work for you. This step takes you being "very honest" with yourself! Sometimes it is a painful process. <br /><br /><strong>2. You will learn your body composition (<a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2008/03/you-need-to-burn-subcutaneous-and.html">body fat % vs. lean mass %</a>).</strong> You will also learn "where you are fat." Excess abdominal fat has been shown to be a precursor to diseases such as cancer.<br /><br /><strong>3. When's the last time you had your body measurements taken</strong> (chest, arms, neck, hips, waist, etc.)? This is part of your fitness assessment. <br /><br /><strong>4. What's your health history?</strong> You might need a doctor's clearance before you can begin an exercise program.<br /><br /><strong>5. <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2008/10/focus-on-what-you-eatand-how-much-10.html">What are your eating habits</a>?</strong> Part of your assessment will look at what you are eating, how you are eating and changes that you need to make.<br /><br /><strong>6. What is your <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2008/04/your-metabolism-and-fat-loss-part-2.html">basal metabolic rate</a>?</strong> Don't know? You will after your fitness assessment. This rate helps you set the daily calories you will need.<br /><br /><strong>7. Have you had low back pain for some time?</strong> If so, you probably have <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2008/03/your-posture-says-much-about-your.html">postural problems</a> that need to be corrected. And, yes, a postural assessment is part of your fitness assessment.<br /><br /><strong>8. Had any muscle spasms or "knotted muscles" lately?</strong> Then, you need to improve your flexibility. The fitness assessment will tell you where your muscles are tight, lengthened or weak.<br /><br /><strong>9. When's the last time you checked your resting pulse rate?</strong> Your resting pulse rate will tell you how hard your heart is working in a resting state. For instance, my resting pulse rate was 58 beats per minute the last time I checked it. That's pretty low. When I was at peak condition as a college athlete, my resting pulse rate was 54-56 beats per minute.<br /><br /><strong>10. How ready is your body for physical activity?</strong> You don't know? You will after your fitness assessment!<br /><br /><strong>What are you waiting for? Schedule your fitness and nutrition assessment today!</strong> It won't cost you anything but your time (about 45 minutes)! Call (512-289-8879) or email me at the bottom of this post!

Weight Loss Goals For Spring Season

<strong>Weight loss goals for the spring season are pretty much the same as any other time. But, sometimes during the spring, we are ready to make some positive changes in our lives.

Reach Weight Loss and Fat Loss Goals

<strong>Reach your weight loss and fat loss goals with the right motivation shift. </strong> <br /><br /><strong>Your motivation needs to be right and realistic.</strong> Unrealistic goals (like lose 30 pounds in 10 days) can leave you mentally and physically exhausted with disappointing results.<br /><br /><strong>One thing I do know: MAKE THE COMMITMENT TO HEALTH AND FITNESS BECAUSE YOU ARE WORTH IT! THOSE AROUND YOU WILL BENEFIT TOO! FOCUS ON FAT LOSS, NOT WEIGHT LOSS! BUILDING MUSCLE MASS BURNS THE FAT, KEEPS IT OFF AND SPEEDS YOUR METABOLISM.</strong><br /><br /><strong>Here's some <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2007/07/what-motivates-you-to-workout.html">motivation tips</a> for you:<br /><br />1. Get your overall motivation right!</strong> These types of motivations will work: a) exercise and eat right because its good for YOU and YOU CARE ABOUT YOU and b) exercise because you enjoy it (find exercise types that you enjoy)!<br /><br /><strong>2. Set short-term and long-term goals.</strong> A good short-term goal would be to cut sugary foods and drinks from your diet for the week. A longer term goal would be to follow your total meal plan for a day, a week, two weeks, etc. Reward yourself with each victory!<br /><br /><strong>You could do the same type thing with exercise....maybe you can't do running cardio intervals just yet...</strong>start with fast-walking cardio intervals, work up to jogging intervals and then fast-running cardio intervals.<br /><br /><strong>You can reach your weight loss and fat loss goals!

If you're doing the same basic workout you've always done, you're probably not making any progress with fat loss or weight loss. You're frustrated but you can do something about your stalled progress!<br /><br /><strong>One of the best ways to "wake up and change your body's composition" is to add intensity to your workouts with jumps.</strong> Sixty minute cardio sessions won't lean out your body but they will waste away your muscles (and your muscle tone). <br /><br /><strong>Exercising at a fast or explosive pace (like jumping or sprinting) has been proven to shape and sculpt your body better because these types of exercises activate your bulkier, shapely fast twitch muscle fibers (think butt, hips, thighs, etc.).</strong><br /><br /><strong>Its pretty simple dudes and dudettes! Jump off your body fat! Here are some workout tips:</strong><br /><br /><strong>1. Jump rope for at least 10 minutes every day (if your knees and back allow). A 10 minute jump rope warm-up before your workout always gets the job done.</strong> Actually, a 20-minute interval jump roping session is one of the best fat-burners and body-sculptors available. Try it for cardio at least once a week. <br /><br /><strong>2. Do at least one workout a week that includes mainly jumping exercises.</strong> Squat jumps, tuck jumps, cone jumps, jumping jacks, jump rope and pike jumps are some examples. Full speed jumps will give you more fat loss and weight loss.<br /><br /><strong>3. Include at least one jumping exercise in your regular workout routine.</strong> <br /><br /><strong>4. If you need a change up from jumping, run sprint intervals.</strong> Sprints are also top fat-burners and body-sculptors.<br /><br /><strong>You should perfect <a href="http://sportsfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2008/04/avoid-knee-injuries-with-proper.html">jumping and landing</a> techniques or you will injure yourself. And, if you have knee and low back problems, high-speed jump training is not for you.</strong> <strong>Do no more than 2 jump training workouts a week.</strong><br /><br /><strong>Jump off more body fat this week!</strong><br /><br /><strong><a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/p/lean-body-and-six-pack-abs.html#.UfUd09LqmuI">Get FREE Training and Nutrition Insider Secrets for a Lean-Body with Six Pack Abs</a>!</strong> This ebook, created by Certified Nutrition Specialist & Certified Personal Trainer, Mike Geary, details over 27 specific metabolism-boosting secrets that you can use to strip off your stubborn body fat faster and easier and get your six-pack abs!

Lose Weight And Keep It Off

<strong>Its not enough to just lose weight. I could lose 10 pounds in 2 days by starving and dehydrating myself. I would also look and feel miserable.

Its best to avoid hamstring injuries.</strong> And, weak hamstrings can lead to other serious injuries. For example, females tend to have weaker hamstrings because they use their quadriceps muscles more while walking and running. This means females use their strong quadriceps muscles and do not adequately activate their weak hamstrings. The two opposing muscle groups would not be balanced in this situation.<br /><br /><strong>The hamstring muscle group acts to protect the anterior cruciate knee ligament (ACL) and the opposing quadricep muscle group places stress on the ACL.</strong> So, if you are quadricep dominant, you are placing excessive stress (and many times serious injury) on the knee ACL.<br /><br /><strong>If you don't have a leg curl machine available, just do your leg curls with the medicine ball.</strong> <br /><br /><b>If you need bodyweight workouts that you can start at your own level, check out the Free download below (it has beginner, intermediate and advanced levels):</b><br /><br /><b><a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/p/bodyweight-500-metabolic-fat-burner.html#.UeTaltLqmuI">Free Bodyweight 500 Metabolic Fat Burner Workouts.</a></b> Start shaping your body faster!<br /><br /><b>Mark Dilworth, BA, PES</b><br /><b><a href="http://yourfitnessuniversity.com/">Your Fitness University</a><br /><a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/">My Fitness Hut</a><br /><a href="http://herfitnesshut.com/">Her Fitness Hut</a><br /><a href="http://sportsfitnesshut.blogspot.com/">Sports Fitness Hut</a><br /><a href="http://rapidfatlossandsixpackabs.com/">Rapid Fat Loss and Six Pack Abs</a></b><br /><br />

Healthy Snacks

<strong>Healthy snacks are important for the success of your meal plan and for energy between main meals.</strong> Snacking doesn't have to be bad. Eat healthy snacks with low to moderate calories and your energy level will improve throughout the day. <br /><br /><strong>The American Dietetic Association also recommends healthy snacking. Snacks bridge the gap between meals and can help you eat less at mealtime.</strong> Going too long between meals can cause you to load up on sugary carbohydrates to get quick energy. These types of snacks are usually high in calories, not very nutritious and cause rapid ups and downs in blood sugar levels (you will crash). Here are some good guidelines for healthy snacking: <br /><br /><strong>Snacks can really skyrocket your calorie count if you're not careful! </strong> <br /><br /><strong>First, a few common sense eating rules:</strong><br /><br />1. Use no more than a pat of butter on whole wheat bread or rolls.<br /><br />2. Use natural sweeteners like cinnamon instead of sugar.<br /><br />3. Use condiments like mustard instead of ketchup or mayonnaise.<br /><br /><strong>4. Drink only water or unsweetened drinks, like tea.</strong> Cranberry juice and pomegranite juice are not that healthy if they are loaded with sugar! <br /><br /><strong>Here are some healthy snacks to eat during the day: </strong> <br /><br /><strong>1. Popcorn is high-fiber and low calorie.</strong> Skip the butter and excess salt! I like to pop it on the stove in olive oil. On the run, I eat natural, microwaved brands. <br /><br /><strong>2. Nuts. Peanuts, pistachios, pecans and almonds are all good.</strong> A handful of nuts goes a long way! They are high-calorie so be careful. Skip the excess salt! Nuts have heart-healthy fats, fiber and vitamins.<br /><br /><strong>3. Fruit is always a healthy, filling snack.</strong> I've never heard of anyone getting fat from eating fruit! We all know the health benefits of eating fruit so enough said. <br /><br /><strong>4. Green, leafy salads.</strong> Eat green salads on most days with very little dressing. You can't go wrong with green, leafy veggies for the health benefits!<br /><br /><strong>5. Low-fat yogurt is a great snack!</strong> Yogurt smoothies are also great options (especially after a strength workout). <br /><br />Be sure and download your <b><a href="http://www.yourfitnessuniversity.com/bodyweight_500_metabolic_fat_burner_workouts.html">Free Bodyweight 500 Metabolic Fat Burner Workouts</a></b> and start shaping your body faster!<br /><br /><b>Mark Dilworth, BA, PES</b><br /><b><a href="http://yourfitnessuniversity.com/">Your Fitness University</a><br /><a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/">My Fitness Hut</a><br /><a href="http://herfitnesshut.com/">Her Fitness Hut</a><br /><a href="http://sportsfitnesshut.blogspot.com/">Sports Fitness Hut</a><br /><a href="http://rapidfatlossandsixpackabs.com/">Rapid Fat Loss and Six Pack Abs</a></b><br /><br /><br />

Are you making any progress with your fitness, health, fat loss and weight loss goals? </strong> If the answer is not yes to all questions, you need a better exercise program or you need to commit to consistent exercise (or both)!<br /><br /><strong>Two months is plenty of time for you to see progress with fitness, health, fat loss and weight loss!</strong> Your clothes should be fitting looser, your body should be more toned, you should be able to do some type of interval cardio (instead of slow-paced cardio), you should be able to get through a 30-40 minute circuit weight training workout, etc.<br /><br /><strong>Are you feeling overwhelmed from the whole exercise/fitness/meal plan/fat loss/weight loss puzzle? Don't think you will ever get your body to what you want?</strong><br /><br /><strong>Whatever the case, it doesn't have to be that way....you can do it.....with some help! Don't underestimate the value of well-designed fitness program put together by a certified personal trainer.</strong> It makes all the difference because you get direction, feedback and encouragement from a trainer who is fit and knows what it takes to get fit and stay fit.<br /><br />Be sure and download your <b><a href="http://www.yourfitnessuniversity.com/bodyweight_500_metabolic_fat_burner_workouts.html">Free Bodyweight 500 Metabolic Fat Burner Workouts</a></b> and start shaping your body faster!<br /><br /><b>Mark Dilworth, BA, PES</b><br /><b><a href="http://yourfitnessuniversity.com/">Your Fitness University</a><br /><a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/">My Fitness Hut</a><br /><a href="http://herfitnesshut.com/">Her Fitness Hut</a><br /><a href="http://sportsfitnesshut.blogspot.com/">Sports Fitness Hut</a><br /><a href="http://rapidfatlossandsixpackabs.com/">Rapid Fat Loss and Six Pack Abs</a></b><br /><br /><br />
