7 Tips for a Healthier You – Learn Them for a Healthy Lifestyle

October 21, 2015 by Jessica Leave a Comment

By Ron Burg, Clever TrainingInnovative Results active collage fitness playground

A consistent lifestyle will promote healthier eating and exercising habits. Sure, it can be hard to change your routine, but tweaking little things and continuing to do so will enable a happier, healthier you.

No one is perfect, plus every once in a while you really just want to eat that burger and fries. It’s perfectly fine to indulge; especially if you make sure that your three meals that day are healthy alternatives to your “cheat” meal.

Even on your worst and most lazy days, you should strive to get up and move, and eat the best you can to keep your habit consistent. Additionally, follow these steps to maintain that healthy lifestyle you have always wanted.

Try These 7 Tips For A Healthier You:

1. Get at least 10,000 steps a day.
A great way to count your steps is to use gadgets like activity monitors and GPS watches. They will keep up with your every move, and some models also log your sleep hours and provide you with extra motivation.

Here are some simple ways you can reach your 10,000 steps:trail running squeeze background
• Always use the stairs.
• Walk the dog.
• Aim to park far away from any building.
• Pack your lunch so you can walk during your break.

2. Teach your body to be healthy.
Train your body to be healthy, and it will act accordingly. If you stop eating sweets, you won’t crave them half as much. Plus, after you eliminate something out of you diet, chances are you won’t even like it when you do eat it. Make sure you keep your healthy eating habits consistent.

3. Eat breakfast.healthy food collage
Make sure to eat breakfast EVERY day. This will jumpstart your metabolism by signaling your body it’s okay to feel hungry. You will need food for energy to keep up with all those steps anyway!

4. Allow some sweat.
Sweat is our body’s cooling system. When you work out often, your body will immediately start to sweat, because it knows what it’s in for. However, if you don’t regularly work out, your body will take longer.

Make sure you move enough and try to exercise every day to keep your sweat a constant.

5. Think long-term.
Dieting is short-term. What you really need, in order to make a difference (and see the change stick!), is to make healthy changes that last a lifetime. Eat clean; lower your sugar, sodium, and starches.

6. Drink enough water.
You should never feel thirsty; if you do, you should up your water intake. Staying hydrated means your workout won’t count as much (no matter how hard you work).

7. Stay active.Costa Mesa Fitness Center Innovative Results active collage fitness
One hour at the gym does not lead to an active lifestyle. Again, the key here is consistency. Make sure you are moving throughout your entire day. Hitting the gym every day is great, but make sure you’re not idle the rest of the time.

Get up and move around, do a lap around the office – anything you can to stay active during your down time.

Working Out Should Be fun and SOCIAL!

April 27, 2014 by ptpt Leave a Comment

lose-weight-without-boring-cardio-

By Cori Lefkowith

We are social creatures.

Heck….We even like to go to the bathroom together.

Yet all too often we choose to go on a cardio machine and workout by ourselves.

No wonder it can be hard to stick to a routine!

Instead of working out by ourselves, let’s use the fact that we are social creatures – let’s make working out social.

Because being social may just be the motivation you need to make the switch to a healthy lifestyle!

Don’t believe me?

Then check out these reasons to make your workouts a social event!

• Working out will be more FUN when you have your friends around you. And “fun” generally means it is something you will WANT to do again.
• Friends hold you accountable. Friends will check in on you when you skip a session. They will check in on you and help give you a reason to go even when you don’t necessarily “feel” like it.
• Friends motivate us. Knowing you will be letting someone down if you don’t go will keep you showing up even when you aren’t motivated.
• Working out with friends can also push you to work harder. If your friend is doing heavier weight or more reps, you are probably going to push yourself to do a few more reps as well!
• Friends will also support you. Have you plateaued? Have your results slowed? Having a friend there you can chat with who may be going through the same thing or have gone through the same thing in the past, can really help you push through the rough patches!
• Making working out social can also help you remain dedicated to your goals. For one, you have a reason to go because the workouts are fun. Two, your friends hold you accountable if you don’t show. And three, it will keep you dedicated even when your internal motivation wears off because you are part of a group and you can’t let down the group!
• There is sense of community when you workout with friends. And that community gives you a strong reason to keep moving toward your goals. And it also allows you to help OTHERS move toward their goals as well! You can both get support and GIVE SUPPORT!

Getting in Shape – Busy Schedules Aren’t an Excuse

June 6, 2010 by ptpt 1 Comment

Most people have great intentions about working out, eating healthier and living a balanced life.

So where do they go wrong?

Mary is a married, working mom, with two kids. Her youngest daughter is 6 and her boy is nine. Both kids are involved with athletics, her husband travels and she works part time as a real estate agent.

Now that the kids are both in school, she has decided to get back in the gym, lose some weight and create some better habits in her life. She joined a local gym, hired a personal trainer and is excited about changing her ways.

Sound familiar?

Most of us lead busy lives, juggling work, family and other commitments. Unfortunately, its usually our health that takes a back seat to our other responsibilities, but that doesn’t need to be the case.

After 6 weeks, Mary was making some progress, but was still struggling with her eating, missing workouts and a little frustrated with her progress. Her work had slowed down, her kids started soccer and she was being stressed out and felt like there wasn’t enough time to get everything done. From the moment she woke up, until bed time, she was on the go, reacting to every phone call, email and text message that came her way.

How can she make time for the gym?

Maybe she should quit…..

Mary’s situation is nothing new. The difference between successful people and the average person is taking the time to plan effectively. Mary’s hectic schedule is just an excuse for missing the gym and living with the same unhealthy habits she’s always had. Instead of proactively planning her meals, her workouts, work schedule, meetings and kids’ activities, she is just reacting to them last minute.

After about 3 months, Mary was exhausted and needed to change her ways. The stress was affecting every aspect of her life and she was not the same person.

She decided to sit down and plan out her week more effectively.

1. Decided to shop for their food every Monday
2. Cooked several meals ahead of time, instead of reacting last minute, when she and the kids were hungry.
3. Scheduled workout time at the beginning of the day,
4. Scheduled work time everyday
5. She did phone calls in the car
6. Checked her email only 2 times per day at 10 am and 4pm.
7. She created a car pool plan with other parents, so she didn’t have to drive thee kids around everyday to practice.

Mary’s life was still busy, but sitting down and planning out her week helped her relax, be more productive, much more successful at work and in the gym.  Since changing her ways and navigating through her week, she is losing weight, eating healthier and her family is benefiting from it too!

3 Simple Tips to A Healthy Lifestyle!

November 11, 2008 by ptpt 1 Comment

How many people do you know who are on prescribed medication?  High cholesterol, blood pressure, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, thyroid problems, obesity…  With all of the new medical & pharmaceutical advancements, people are more aware of health & fitness than ever before, yet our own government statistics indicate record levels of health-related ailments.

Every quick fix book, cd, infomercial, TV show, wonder pill, cosmetic surgeons surgery, diet and DVD all claim to have the miracle answer.  DON’T BELIEVE THE HYPE!  Stick to the fundamentals and you’ll see results that last.  An overall healthy lifestyle will have benefits that impact more than just your pant size.

Here are 3 simple tips to a healthy lifestyle…

Eat. 

There are tons of special diets, but you don’t need a diet – you need to learn how to eat.  Keep It Simple.  The best way to eat correctly is to eat what nature provides: meats, fruits, vegetables, whole grains and water.  The more cooked or processed food gets, the worse the food is for you, period.  Too many diets include fast food, soda, chips, candies, or some type of ‘convenient’ food.  This is why the average American has gained over 20 lbs., in the past 15 years, and the incidence of heart disease and cancer are at an all time high!  Pack a little cooler with healthy alternatives such as fruit, protein shakes, organic bars, nuts or water, so that when you are hungry, you have something available.  Also, take an evening and plan your meals for the week.

 

Move! 

Get off the couch, out of your chair, out of the car and move.  This is what most people call exercise, but you don’t have to put on tights and get on the Stairmaster. Go outside, play a sport, go skiing, take a hike, go for a swim, join a gym… It doesn’t matter, just move.  No more ‘New years’ resolutions that last for a week.  Make exercise a habit.  Movement builds strength, cardiovascular health, increases flexibility, strengthens ligaments, increases energy and clears your mind.

Chill

People recharge in different ways.  So you need to figure out what you truly enjoy.  What do you like to do that allows your mind to relax?  Try sports, the spa, time with family, a good book, a long walk, a bath, painting or any other activity that rejuvenates you.  Too many people spend most of their time racing around, and they never really make time to recuperate.  Everyone needs time to chill, including YOU.  So think about it, schedule it, and make it a priority.

Final Notes:

Start with your calendar. Don’t just react each day to things that pop up.  Exercise and health need to become a priority.  Plan to workout 3 times per week.  Everyone has 3 hours a week to do something physical.  Next, plan some time to chill.  Remember, this is for you to relax mentally!  Find an activity that recharges you and offsets the week’s stress!  Finally, plan your meals in advance.  Learn how to shop and prepare for your week. Ask for help.  Make time. Commit to basic changes.  You will look better, feel better and become a healthier person!
