Who Knows About Health and Fitness

People need to stop listening to professional athletes, celebrities, and other famous people when it comes to health and fitness! I work as a fitness consultant and have trained many professional athletes, movie stars, and other types of celebrities, and I hear all kinds of junk that other people have taught them to belive about fitness and health.

It amazes me that we listen to these people. I guess they may look the part of being healthy and fit, and athletes have supposedly worked with top trainers or stregth and conditioning coaches, but most strength coaches and trainers have been in the business too long and haven't learned anything new in that last few years. They are teaching the same old junk that I heard when I was a kid.

I hate to break it to all of these "trainers" and "coaches" but science has changed and we have evolved in what we know when it comes to health and fitness. Maybe because it doesn't take a genius to lift weights and get results, people think they are experts when they get results, so they start their own exercise program. As much as I dislike disappointing everyone, athletes and celebrities will always typically see results quickly and look amazing because most of them have amazing genes, this is why they are professional athletes in the first place. The rest of us, not so blessed, so the results that they promise do not come as quickly.

We need to be educated and talk to real professionals in the feild of health and fitness, and yes this may be difficult as well because we still promote the trainer/ coach who looks the best, or has celebrity clients. Though just because you look good or train celebrities does not mean that you are knowledgeable when it comes to health and fitness.

Be aware and be careful who you listen to and consult someone with good credentials that is healthy and fit themselves. Make sure you are talking to someone who has a degree in some sort of health related field, or certifications in health, fitness and nutrition.

Stop listening to people that really shouldn't be talking about fitness and health. We don't ask professional athletes or celebrities to fix our car, so don't ask them how to stay in great shape or how to eat healthy, because most of them don't know to.

Fat Loss During the Holiday's: Is it Possible?

Yes, Yes, and Yes! We our responsible for our waist line during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the before New Year's bulge. Studies show that we put on 2/3rds of our yearly fat during the holidays as opposed to any other time of the year. Well with the numbers rising on how fat we are as a country and as a world, makes you wonder why. We have more diets, more so called experts, more nutritious food, and more exercise programs, so why the hell are we so fat and so unhealthy as a nation?

Maybe it's what you're doing to yourselves, instead of celebrating health, family, and friends, we celebrate with big social events loaded with junk food and then not going for walks, jogs, lifting weights, or doing any sort of physical activity with our friends. We choose to stuff our faces with junk food loaded with hormones, pesticides that are deficient in nutrients causing our stomach to be full without nourishing our bodies, making us want to go back for seconds and thirds and then dessert.

Well of course this all sounds easy, though you want to be fit, you want to be healthy, you want to look amazing, and feel amazing, well you must make some lifestyle changes and choose being healthy. Make the choice to stand up to your friends and suggest events and celebrate doing things that are more positive with your bodies and mind. Like instead of going out on the town drinking you go for a hike instead, or a bike ride, or go to the gym, hire a trainer to train you and your friends. Intead of drinking, and eating junk food, buy organic food and make delicious healthy meals, if you don't feel qualified enough to do so, hire a chef to teach you how to cook with organic foods or start watching the cooking network. Eat fruits for dessert, choose good qualty healthy organic free range beef, chicken, lamb in place of low quality hormone ridden meats. Learn to cook vegetables into an amazingly delicious healthy meal.

You can make choice. You can help make this world healthier and while doing so you may benefit by living longer, having better skin, looking even more amazing, losing weight, all the while feeling incredible. Now these are the real things you want to achieve and no pill or cream will get this as much as taking care of your beautiful mind and body in ways of eating and exercising properly will.

So yes, you can achive anything. You can become or maintain being fit and healthy during the holidays, just make the choice to celebrate great health and fitness. Believe me you will thank yourself more times if you do choose to be different and expect more of yourself.

Fitness Article of the Week
Why Ask a Personal Trainer — and Not a Doctor — About Exercise?

You would never ask your hairstylist to diagnose a mechanical problem on your car, would you? Of course not — unless they were also a certified mechanic, on the side. Why, then, ask your doctor about exercise, when his or her line of work is the diagnosing and treating of illness and disease? To be sure, doctors are becoming more and more aware of the benefits of exercise in helping their patients improve their health outlook. But they must spend their very limited time between treating patients keeping abreast of new developments in medicines and treatments to help fight disease. In reality, they don’t have the time to invest in learning about the complete mechanics of exercise.

Therefore, does it not make more sense that the ideal specialist with whom to have an in-depth discussion on exercise and how it can benefit your health would be a aks a dr. or a personal trainerpersonal trainer?

A well-qualified personal trainer has spent an extensive amount of time learning all about exercise. How different exercises are done, how to target specific areas of the body with exercise, how to avoid injuries, the structures of the body and how they work together, how exercise can help the body work more efficiently, the body-mind connection for complete health, and more.

A good personal trainer carries certifications indicating their achievements and can demonstrate high-level understanding about the various aspects of exercise and what exercise can mean to a person’s overall health.

As a result, he or she has the expertise to guide you through the proper “mechanics” of various forms of exercise, to not only lessen your risk of becoming injured, but to increase the benefits to be gained from exercise done correctly. They also have insight, gained from working with different people with differing needs, from which to draw upon to help you get past any stumbling blocks that are keeping you from maximizing your health.

Personal trainers are also knowledgeable about the physical limitations of many conditions and can tailor exercises to those limitations, so that health gains are still possible. Despite the marine-toughness seen portrayed by some personal trainers on “reality” television shows, not all personal trainers bark commands to get you to exercise. Personal trainers can be quite empathetic to the plight of the overweight person who hasn’t exercised in a long while, but who has finally decided to get their weight under control and improve their health. A good personal trainer will work with you to reach higher levels of fitness without shaming you for the past that led you to becoming overweight.

Doctors keep themselves informed about the latest research and developments in the treating of disease and illness; personal trainers keep themselves informed about the latest trends in exercise and exercise equipment recommended for attaining fitness and health A personal trainer can warn you about the newest fads appearing on the exercise scene with a lot of fanfare and empty promises, before you endanger your health by trying to follow them.

A personal trainer provides the one-on-one instruction and attention most of us need to take charge of the wheel as we drive toward excellent, permanent health. The expert knowledge and guidance a personal trainer can add to your workouts is invaluable. You can achieve more benefits from the time you spend exercising and working toward your health and fitness goals by consulting with a trainer than you can with just about anyone else.

If you have a bad case of the flu, a broken bone, or a medical concern, seek treatment from your doctor. If you have a question about the best exercise routines for maximizing your health and fitness, consult a personal trainer.

Featured Exercise

Jumping on a Trampolinejumping on a trampoline

Everyone knows trampolines are fun, but not everyone knows that jumping on a trampoline is a great workout. It not only develops excellent proprioception (body awareness), but it also burns a ton of fat and calories. And did you know that the rhythmic bouncing has a powerful effect on the lymphatic system, which builds a stronger immune system? Both adults and children can benefit from regular exercise on a full size trampoline or a rebounder (a small trampoline).

A trampoline provides exercise that is easy on the joints, very low in stress, and great for the body.

It’s easy to start a trampoline regimen. Buy a mini-trampoline for your living room and jump while watching your favorite TV show, or bounce to a trampoline workout video. For tons of family fun, buy a large trampoline for the backyard. Start jumping on your trampoline for 30 minutes a day and bounce away your pounds.

Children and adults who regularly jump on a trampoline reap many benefits from the exercise, beyond weight loss. Studies have shown that trampoline jumping can:

Affect academic success — By helping a child learn to control his or her body movement, it can help a child learn. Because a trampoline teaches muscle control and coordination, many children see an improvement academically with the regular use of a trampoline.

Improve self-esteem People gain confidence as they master new skills on the trampoline. This can translate into a better self-image that may help improve success in every area of life.

Teach persistence It often takes many tries to master a skill on the trampoline, but because it is so much fun, people often persist. This reinforces the important lesson that doing something right is worth the effort.

The many benefits of jumping on a trampoline make it a fantastic activity for adults and children, but it is important to remember that children should always be supervised when on the trampoline. Netted “cages” can be purchased to keep you from bouncing off and becoming injured.

Question
If my main goal is to lose weight, which makes more sense . . . cardio first or lifting weights first? I've heard both sides, but never know who's right.

Scott Responds

Not all exercise is created equal. Cardio exercise, for example, is very good for the health and proper working condition of your heart — and of course there is a benefit to this form of exercise. A heart that isn’t fit and healthy will lead to a shortened lifespan. However, those in search of exercise to aid with fat-burning and weight loss are much better served by weight training.

Weight training a better choice for fat loss and weight reduction because it builds muscles, and strong muscle mass is needed to achieve lasting fat loss and weight reduction.

What do muscles have to do with fat loss? Do they “chew up” and “spit out” the fat? And doesn’t muscle-building actually cause you to weigh more and your body to appear even larger?

Muscles don’t do the chewing or getting rid of fat, but they do assist by providing the energy that your metabolism (your fat-chomping machine) needs to burn fat quickly. Muscles accelerate the fat-eliminating capacity of your metabolism, causing rapid fat loss, weight reduction, and improved health.

It is true that muscles “weigh” more than fat and so when you begin a weight-training routine, you may experience an initial weight gain. Fear not, as the more fat loss that occurs, the more quickly your body weight will readjust its weight. You can also afford to weigh more if that weight is muscle instead of fat. Weight from muscle does not lead to the disastrous medical conditions and diseases that having too much fat does.

Weight training is simply an amazing fat-loss tool for those who want to lose fat and gain health. Weight training is a complete workout for the body, for your complete health. It also helps your newly developing muscles obtain shape, definition, and tone, for the “chiseled and fit” physique you desire. If you’ve been searching for the best form of exercise to accelerate your fat loss, weight-training is the exercise that can get the job done!

Fitness America: Fit or Fat?

I am very disapointed in Fitness America. What the hell is going on? Are these contests rigged? Are the contestants putting out, and this is why some of them rank so high, because it is getting a bit ridiculous. I have talked to many of the show's competitors that criticize and complain about the contest's authenticity. I have even seen competitions where the audience has booed the judges results.

I have a friend who competed here in Arizona, won 2nd place and still has not received her trophy. Fitness America does your word mean nothing? Are your promises empty?

It is no wonder why bikini models, fitness competitors, and figure competitors get so sour from competing in these shows, more and more women seem to get screwed out of their proper positioning, scoring lower than they should. Is Fitness America returning favors, allowing for some competitors to score so highly?

I understand that not everyone can win, but I have seen some of the top placing contestants and they have been a joke. How can you consider it a fitness show, when some of these women obviously haven't worked out a day in their life. Hell some of the finalists had flabby asses. Come on!

Is Fitness America turning into a joke? Are they Fitness America or hey I promote and play favorites even if you look like crap? Fitness America Get your act together because soon you will have no one wanting to compete in your shows.

Arizona Cardinals vs. Denver Broncos: Dec. 17th 2006

I was sitting at the game on Sunday, got some free tickets from one of the players, which is always a plus, I have to say being in the training business does have its perks. Anyway, sitting there watching the Cardinals play the Bronco's I notice that all of these people are slamming nachos, beer, giant hot dogs, soda pop, and all of this other junk people consider food, and I begin to think about people and diseases and staying fit and I wonder, why are there no places in the stadium that cater to healthy fit people like myself? Considering when we walked through the gate they stole my apple, though luckily I snuck a organic nutrition bar in my pocket. Ha! So here I am at the game thinking about how America wants to be thin, though we as a country make it almost impossible or very hard to do so.

What's the deal? Why don't they have a health food store in every stadium and offer a healthy meal? And no I'm not talking about McDonald's so called fit meals. Nice try. People complain to me about spending the price of organic food and how much money they have to spend to eat healthy, but they will pay 32 bucks on 2 cheap hamburgers, fries, and a beer. This always makes me think of people's priorities because for that price I could buy about 5 organic grass fed t-bones. I guess this is why I look the way that I do and feel the way that I feel, and the rest of America is fighting obesity, sickness and disease and feeling terrible in the process.

Eating healthy makes life a whole lot easier because the more nutrients your body gets the better it feels, making it much easier to get your mind to think positively about life. Americans are right it is tough to stay fit and healthy, though that is no excuse to throw in the towel. If people didn't buy all of that crap, it wouldn't be for sale. So maybe as a nation we need to demand more and want more out of life; don't say "oh well;" don't throw in the towel; fight for your health and the health of those around you.

Fitness Article of The Week
The Benefits of Hiring a Personal Trainer

 

If you are looking for a fast, effective training plan to meet your body's needs and your lifestyle, then hiring a personal trainer might be the way to save yourself a lot of time and effort.  A personal trainer can also help you upgrade or maintain your routine over time, so that you get maximal results from your workouts. 

 

A personal trainer should be someone who understands your fitness goals and is ready to help you meet those goals within your body's ability to do so. Having a personal trainer means the end to wasting time and money on workout plans that don't get you results. Because you have someone to be accountable to for your workouts, your training regiment will remain consistent.  This is a person to whom you can turn for the latest health and fitness news, and someone will continually encourage you to give it your all. 

 

Hiring a personal trainer can be an invaluable asset to your training routine but only if your trainer is qualified and well educated about your medical history.  A good trainer should ask you plenty of questions about your medical background, as well as any injuries or surgeries that might cause a problem with your workouts, either now or down the road.  If your prospective trainer does not ask about your health or previous medical concerns, you should start looking for another trainer. 

 

The best trainer will have spent a good deal of time educating him or herself about personal training.  Ask if he or she has a degree in: Exercise Science, Kinesiology, Exercise Physiology, Physical Education, or in a related health-and-fitness field.  If they do hold a degree, you can be fairly certain they have the knowledge to perform at a competent level.  Your trainer should be certified in CPR and first aid, and will also carry liability insurance. 

 

Make sure to ask your prospective trainer questions, like how long he or she has been training. Ask about the kinds of clients they usually work with, and get recommendations from some of their previous clients.

 

There are no national standards for personal trainers, so you need to verify that your trainer is certified, and determine which agency has done the certification. Also, find out the requirements for the certification your trainer holds. Training certifications are usually best if done through a nonprofit organization, but that is not a fail-safe determination.

 

Also check to see if the certification requires any sort of continuing education, and what that program involves. Does your trainer have to be tested on his or her skills, or does he or she just have to mail a valid check?  You want the best of care when you are going to be pushing your body to the limits. 

 

If you are thinking that a trainer is not for you because you are not body building, then perhaps you should think again.  While personal trainers can certainly be enlisted by a body builder to help him or her “pump up,” a trainer should be able to help you meet the personal goals you set for your own body (within reason).  If you are looking to lose weight, get healthier, or just tone some of your muscles, a personal trainer can tailor a workout to meet those goals and keep you on track.

 

Movie stars use personal trainers all the time to trim the right muscles and look great for their latest film projects. You can find your own trainer to help you look great for your next trip to the beach, that marathon you want to win, or just to live a longer, healthier life.

Featured Exercise

Jumping Rope

Jumping rope provides a number of health benefits: not only is it a great cardiovascular exercise that burns calories and fat, but it also develops good coordination between the hands and feet, as well as rhythm (muscle coordination). The greatest thing about jumping rope is that it is very inexpensive and you can do it almost anywhere. 

 

Jumping rope has been proven to be a very effective method for burning fat. It has been shown to burn as many as 1,000 calories per hour. Wow — that is some serious caloric expenditure! Some of the best and leanest athletes swear by it. Movies often depict professional boxers skipping rope because it develops great cardiovascular endurance and stamina. It’s no wonder that boxers are some of the best-conditioned athletes

 

Grab a jump rope and try it yourself!

s        Stand erect, but relaxed, when you jump.

s        Keep your knees slightly bent.

s        Look straight ahead, not at your feet.

s        Land on the balls of your feet, not on your heels.

s        Keep your arms fairly still — do not flail.

Start by jumping slowly, building up your speed so you can jump rope more quickly over time. See how many times you can jump without missing. Try to do 100 skips before you have to stop — then, beat that record the next time. Do 50 super fast jumps, followed by 50 slower jumps.

 

Jumping rope is great for the whole family. Have even more fun by getting some friends to play Double-Dutch. Jump rope for 30 minutes, five times a week, and watch your waistline shrink. Go invest in a jump rope today, and quickly get the body you want.

 

 


Ask Scott White | Personal Trainer

Question
What are the signs of over-training?

Scott Responds

The signs of over-training are pretty obvious. You look tired and fatigued, with bags and dark circles under your eyes that make you resemble a raccoon. Low appetite, low sex drive, and lack of energy or motivation are other signs.
 

Yes, this sounds like the majority of the population — and yes, in a way, most people are over-trained. While most folks probably don't exercise and work out, they perform the same routine every day, but offer no additional specific physical stress so that their bodies can improve (super-compensate).

Quality training involves both ends of the spectrum: giving your body something new and more challenging to do — and then allowing it time to rest and recuperate before your next workout.

Fitness Question: How to get thin on a low budget

I'm sure you get sob stories all the time, so Sorry if this is the case.

I used to be rail thin and a runner up until 1992 and I tore the hell out of the ligaments in my right knee and was in a brace for well over a year. Of course during that time I gained weight and have slowly added to it on a yearly basis since then. I still have to be careful with what I do, because my knee gives out whenever it feels like.

Then I met Mr. Wonderful, got married, and had kids and all that good stuff. I gained a lot of weight with my 2 pregnancies. I am 5'6" and now weigh about 275. I know I am extremely overweight and I need help. I am miserable and feel like I am holding my children back and not getting out and being active in their life.

But my big dilemma is money. My husband works and I currently stay home with our two girls who are both under 4. So we are just squeaking by right now, literally!

What can I do on an extremely tight budget? I have tried every damn diet out there over my life. I'd love to be able to afford a personal trainer, but the budget won't allow for that now.

Any hints or things you can tell me to help me out?

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

.

Heather

heather first start exercising, lift weights 3 times a week, walk, swim or what ever you can do to exercise you or your kids, hell pick up your kids 12 times in a row and then rest and do it again, start to move first off, start with a little and work your way up to more and more each week.

eating will come next, you must eat at least 6 meals a day, small meals during the day, on a real low budget brown rice, black beans, and tuna works great for every meal, and maybe oatmeal for breakfast.

That is a real brief example of how you may do it, though you must start by moving, and yes it won't feel great changing all these things though you must be persistent and committed, never give up set the example by doing it for your kids to practice great health.

The biggest thing is you must no quite you got to stick with it for ever, no matter what.

My website: www.personalpowertraining.net has some great articles to help teach you about nutrition and your health.

Much success, take responsibility for yourself and your kids and start to move and eat right.

Fat Loss Questions: How many calories does it take to burn 1 lb of fat and 1 gram of fat

I have question.  How many calories do you need to burn one gram of fat?  I know there is 9 calories per on gram of fat, but how many calories would it take to burn one gram of fat? 9?

 

Thanks,

 

The Amount of Calories You need to Burn to Lose Fat

 

You must burn about 3500 kcal to burn 1 lb of fat. (1 pound = 453.59237 grams)

 

So it takes 7.7 cal to burn 1gram of fat.

Arizona Cardinals: Wow What a Game

Arizona Cardinals came out blazing scored the first 14 touch downs against Chicago, what happened Chicago luck, Chicago ability to win, and Arizona's ability to not finish.

Well as exciting it was to watch the Arizona vs. Chicago Game on October 16, 2006. Was an amazing Monday night game.

As much of a Chicago Bears fan I'm I was really rooting for The Arizona Cardinals, with Matt Leinart really playing ball and representing him as a real contender for being a great quarterback to come.

Arizona Fans, Stick with it, Have Faith, Be a Real Fan and root for your home team, We need more committed fans (people) in this world.

Well thank you Arizona for playing a exciting game, next time I will still root for your win.

Go Arizona Cardinals Keep Working Hard and Playing Harder!!

Chuck Norris Is not a Personal Trainer is He?

So why in the hell do we listen to some movie star about fitness and working out, Chuck Norris may be the Texas Ranger, but does he have a degree in Exercise physiology, Kinesiology, Biomechanics, or is he at least a certified personal trainer, so why in the hell is he telling people how to exercise on the total body gym.

The Total Body Gym: Sure it may be a good form of exercise machine for some people, but come on let's face it it's not going to replace free weights and hiring a personal trainer. The Total Body Gym is actually on piece of equipment that I like for rehab and for beginners when it comes to exercise, but come on Chuck Norris, Wesley Snipes. Stop making money by recommending something you may like, but you are paid actors not professionals.

American's Wesley Snipes, Chuck Norris may be great actors or may not be, but that is what they do is Act. They do not research exercise programs, fat loss, they are not professionals in the fitness industry. Stop Listening to paid actors about health and fitness, and Start listening to Fitness Professionals about Fitness Equipment, Exercise, Fat Loss.
