More Water. Better Health.

Cheers! To Water! There’s nothing new about the fact that drinking more water helps you lose weight and improve health. In a study, led by Brenda Davy, PhD, RD, associate professor in the department of human nutrition, foods and exercise at Virginia Tech, researchers found that “middle-aged and olde...

Metabolism, the process of converting food into fuel, is a complex interaction of hormones and enzymes that work together around the clock to produce energy needed to function. The rate at which we burn calories depends on age, gender, genetics, lifestyle, and body composition. Muscle tissue contrib...

Foods that help fight inflammation

Inflammation is a natural reaction to injury or infection. The causes of chronic inflammation vary, but include being overweight, smoking, stress, environmental toxins, sedentary lifestyle, and lack of sleep. When a body becomes chronically inflamed, a multitude of negative and potentially injurious...

In the past, we shown you how to perfect your form in a plank using a NeeBooFit Resistance Loop Band to better stabilize your shoulder girdle. Now it’s time to try some progressions in all three types of planks: prone (facing floor), side plank, and reverse planks (face up). You won’t need a NeeBooF...

When faced with bread at the restaurant table, only eat it if it's warm enough to melt the butter. Don't waste calories on cold bread that's not fresh! Ask yourself if you're really enjoying it, if not, don't fill up on it!

side plank with stability disc. Again, don't forget to draw the belly button toward the spine while holding your plank.

04/02/2013

side lunge on stability disc: Go slower than I did in the video, and keep the feet facing forward and knees aligned with the toes

04/02/2013

Twist crunch with stability disc: Again, pull the belly button toward the spine. Keep the elbows back, twisting the shoulder towards the knee.

04/02/2013

Straight leg raise + on the stability disc: These are harder than they look! You may have to start with less than 10 reps of each leg exercise, and build up to 15. Keep the thigh, knee, shin, and toe all facing upward during all three exercises.

stability disc crunches

04/02/2013

Stability disc crunches: Perform slowly, while drawing your belly button toward your spine and lifting up the pelvic floor (do a kegel with each crunch). You can also try squeezing a yoga block or kickball sized ball between your thighs.

04/02/2013

If you took my advice from an earlier post and got a stability disc, here is a quickie core and thighs workout for you and your new toy. See videos. Perform 10-15 reps per exercise, and then repeat all 6 exercises in a circuit 2-3 times if you have time.

For a short intense cardio workout that also works your legs and butt, climb stairs. Any stairs, inside or out. Start with 5 "laps" (up and down = 1 lap) briskly walking normally up and down the stairs, then do 5 "laps" facing sideways, with the hips and toes facing sideways, holding the rail if needed for balance, then do the other side 5 laps, then walk backwards up (hold the railing if necessary) and go forwards down for 5 laps. This will equal 20 laps, and you will be tired! Good cardio, in less than 15 minutes. If it takes you longer, who cares! Your legs and butt just got a great workout!
When finished, place your leg on the 2nd or 3rd step, depending on your flexibility, and hinge from the hips to reach towards your foot. Again, use the railing if necessary. Then, stand, holding the rail or something, and grab your foot behind you to stretch the front of your thigh. Be sure to stretch both sides, 5-10 deep breaths per stretch per leg.

For a good arm workout and a cleaner house: scrub stains out of your carpet, clean your windows (inside, and outside weather permitting), scrub your kitchen floor on your hands and knees, use a knee pad (and while you're down there, wash off the cabinets as well), scrub your shower/bath, vacuum. Be sure to alternate the working arm, and keep the core engaged. Don't shrug your shoulders, always use good workout form even when cleaning! When you finish, stetch backwards over the stabililty ball, or lie face down on the floor, interlace your hands behind your back, and raise your torso up, lengthening your spine. You'll feel great for accomplishing something, your house will be cleaner, and if you do this regularly, your arms will look great!

How are your New Year's resolutions going?
Fill in the blank... My resolutions lasted ______ day(s).

17/12/2012

I'm keeping super active with all the cleaning, decorating (putting lights on a tree is a lot of arm work!), baking, wrapping, etc. to be done before my family arrives for Christmas, as well as working! So I'm checking out on this Facebook thing until after the holidays. Sorry, I had great intentions of motivating you all throughout the holidays with new videos of exercises to try, but I just can't do it all! So get busy yourselves - try washing your floors and cabinets, cleaning your bathrooms, and making decorative outdoor pots for some exercise and I'll be back in 2013!

What's on your Christmas list? Everybody should own at least one piece of fitness equipment that's small, inexpensive, and easily fit into a corner or closet. (Although don't stash it too far away or you'll forget to use it!) When you're watching TV, waiting for something to download, on a conference call, or when you have a few minutes to do something nice for yourself, consider using a stability disc for a set of crunches or lunges, a medicine ball for some core exercises, or a dumbbell for a set of bicep curls or rows. Watch for a video soon, and in the meantime, put those three things on your christmas list! Maybe add on some push-up tools and a yoga mat too!

Did you know that women ages 21-80 who did 20 minutes of strength training two to three times per week added about 2.5 pounds of muscle in 3 months (Health Magazine Nov. 2012) This increases your metabolism for all those holiday goodies! So I challenge you to start your fitness resolutions now and not wait until New Years Day! I realize this is a busy time of year, so even doing 1-2 sets of an exercise each day if you have time for nothing else is better than nothing. This week, try butt burning "stand-ups". Be sure to keep the grounded leg's knee aligned with your toe and try to push up through your heel. See video.
