A Marathon Not A SprintCategory: Tom's Training Tips | Permalink Published: Wednesday, March 10, 2010 " A Marathon Not A Sprint" If you have ever trained for a marathon ( 26.2 miles), you know that you did not start your training running 26 miles the first day or the first month for that matter. Treat your fitness goals this way. It does not matter if your goal time lines are 3/6/12 months.
The first step is to find a program/ routine that works for you. Only 20% of people who exercise are on a program. My main goal with my clients is to have there fitness routine become part of there daily routine. It does not matter how busy you are. We all can find 30-45 min a day or every other day in our lives. What I have found over the years is that the getting the membership to a gym is simple. The next step is finding what works for you. If you have a game-plan you will be more successful. Jump to Top Safe and Effective MovementCategory: Pam's Pearls of Wisdom | Permalink Published: Wednesday, March 10, 2010 Taking care of a body requires steady discipline not just for our muscles and bones but for the linking system of your skeleton. Wherever one bone meets another this is a joint of some kind. Tendons, ligaments and cartilage are fibrous connective tissues which support, bind, strengthen and, in the case of tendons, move bones. Lifting, reaching, driving, and participating in sports are examples of activities that require our connective tissues to work for safe and effective movement.
Jump to Top Teenage ObesityCategory: Body by Becky | Permalink Published: Wednesday, March 10, 2010 As a kid, one of my greatest childhood memories was the summertime. We'd wake up early in the morning and get kicked outside to play ALL DAY. My father used to tell me that my grandparents would send him, my aunt and uncle on their way in the morning and tell them not to come home "until the street lights turned on." I know those would be considered "the good ole' days," but just because times have changed does not mean that exercise isn't still a vital component in EVERY child's life. As a child, or even a young adult, do you remember CHILD OBESITY being an issue? No. The simple fact is that IT WASN'T. Remember when running wild all day was bliss? Remember the time BEFORE Play Station, XBox and Wii? Maybe you don't feel comfortable sending your kids outside for hours on end by themselves, but just because the world is a little bit of a different place now, does not mean there aren't baseball fields, tracks and parks around every corner. Take time to play with your kids- it's the best form of exercise around; not just for them, but for you too. Jump to Top Health Risks Facing Couch Potato TeensCategory: Body by Becky | Permalink Published: Wednesday, March 03, 2010 Sedentary Teens are More Likely to Have Hypertension Hypertension isn't only a problem facing our older, overweight community. A recent study published in the Journal of Adolescent Health may be a real eye opener. Researchers found that "couch potato" teenagers are more liekly to have higher blood pressure, regardless of whether they are overweight or not. Although the association between sedentary activity and systolic blood pressure is small NOW, interventions to decrease sedentary activities will have a HUGE impact on public health. Let's start trading some video game "bonding" with a game of sibling basketball, or a family hike. In the long run, wouldn't you rather see your children grow up to become healthy doctors, police officers, or teachers, rather than medicine-poppers that could have been avoided a long time ago? Jump to Top The Evolution of Personal TrainingCategory: Tom's Training Tips | Permalink Published: Wednesday, March 03, 2010 "The Evolution of Personal Training": Personal Training has gone through a significant evolution during the past 10 years.
