How Important Is Your Warmup???

Every single class and individual program at Results Fitness includes a warmup, perhaps the least interesting part of your workout, but one of the most important.  Warming up your body prior helps prepare you for more intense activity.  You are actually increasing your body's core temperature during the warmup.  Neglecting to warmup can lead to limited mobility and flexibility as well as injuries and general tightness.  Beyond the general physiological benefits of warming up, performing movements you will be doing during your workout or during the sport you play helps the brain visualize what its about to do.  So whether you are in on your own, taking a class, or meeting with a coach, keep in mind the importance of your warmup to your workout; it will increase strength, improve your balance, mechanics, and control of your body, and keep injuries at bay.

Food Preparation

One of the things that clients struggle with quite often is preparing meals in order to stay compliant to their nutritional plan. An easy tip that we often suggest is to simply make a double portion of your dinner (which is typically a compliant meal), pack it in a portable container and have it for lunch the following day. Problem solved. 

3-weeks Into the Thermometer Jeans Challenge! Guess What!!!

3 weeks in to the Thermometer Jeans Challenge. Group 1(5:45am group) ALL were able to button and zip and we aren't even half way! "I'm shocked!" "Are you sure these are my jeans?" "I can't believe it!" "I am going to be able to buy a smaller pair before the end!" were all direct quotes this morning! LOVE IT!!!!! Everyone has made serious progress toward their "drop 2 pant size" goal!!!! Almost everyone could button and zip their jeans. The few that couldn't were right there. 3 WEEKS!!! Awesome job all of you!!! Keep up the great work!!!!

"It's Just Warm Up."

 by Craig Rasmussen C.S.C.S.

    People often take their warm ups pretty lightly. The purpose of the “warm up” period is not only to raise your body/core temperature and warm you up in the traditional sense. At Results Fitness we call this period Mobility, Activation, and Movement Preparation (MAMP).

MAMP does several important things:

1. Addresses tissue quality (via the foam roll)
2. Elevates body/core temperature.
3. Charges up/excites the nervous system to prepare for what is ahead in regard to your resistance training.
4. Takes the joints through ranges of motion to improve mobility.
5. Takes the body through multiple planes of movement to improve mobility.

The bottom line, take this time period seriously as it will better prepare you for your resistance training session and help to keep you healthy.

Foods that are off limits!

Have you ever started a diet or nutrition program where you made certain foods off limits?  While following this program, did you find yourself frequently craving these off limits foods?  In many cases, we get to the point where we give in to this food, and then continue to eat it past the point of fullness, even when the food doesn't make us feel good.  This is exactly why it's important to allow yourself the weekly 10% of non-compliant foods.  When you have access to the foods that were once off limits on a regular basis, they become much less appealing.  When you can actually sit down and eat a bowl of ice cream, instead of sneaking in the "I'm not really eating this" spoon fulls every time you open the freezer, you may start to find that the ice cream will lose its appeal.  So allow yourself the occasional, guilt-free splurge, and you will likely find your 90% easier to stick with.

Hey group members!

Hopefully you all are having a great time in class- I know I love being with you all and watching you get stronger, leaner, and healthier.  A few of our group members notice my huge smile as I coach class, because I’m so proud of you!

At the beginning of each class, we coaches ask if there is any class we can add, any questions anyone may have, and what we can do to make it better.  This is an important aspect of our group coaching- I need your input as to how to make it even better and more fun for you. 

The days and times of the classes are a direct reflection of input we receive from our valued family members in the gym.  The decision to have a total body class or a metabolic class, or a regeneration class is 100% YOUR choice.

There is a sheet attached to the schedule that asks for input for added classes, different times for classes etc. Please feel free to comment on the classes so we can be the best part of your day, every day!

Remember too:  foam roll and stretch before class, and make sure you stretch, foam roll and get a recovery shake at the end of class.

Sleep, Fat Loss, and Foods That Can Get You There!

A Fit Tip by Kaitlyn Weiss C.S.C.S.

 

 

Getting a good night's sleep (7-8 hours) is crucial for fat loss and recovery.  With this in mind, many people have a difficult time falling asleep and staying asleep, despite the best of intentions.  The following foods have been found to help relax the body by relaxing the muscles, and relaxing the mind by calming you down via serotonin and melatonin, your sleep-inducing hormones.  Try having a few of these foods about 2 hours prior to bedtime:

.  Bananas - A combination of serotonin, melatonin, and magnesium (a muscle relaxer) make this fruit one of the best natural sleep aids.

.  Milk (especially warm) - Contains tryptophan (an amino acid) which can have a sedative effect on the body, as well as calcium which helps the body use the tryptophan.  Note: Deep sleep levels are more difficult to achieve with low calcium levels.

.  Almonds - A serving contains both tryptophan and magnesium, and are very good for your heart.

.  Turkey - One of the most popular sources of tryptophan.

.  Flaxseed - Just a couple tablespoons of flaxseed or a teaspoon of flaxseed oil in a protein shake are rich in omega-3 fatty acids (also found in the fish oil capsules, we suggest all our clients take daily) which are a natural mood enhancer and can help relax you if stress has been keeping you awake at night.

Also try our Cal Mag Zinc which contains calcium and magnesium and will help relax the body and quiet the mind.

Why is Vitamin D So Important?

By Kaitlyn Weiss C.S.C.S.

Vitamin D has a slew of health benefits including reduced abdominal fat, enhanced immunity, cancer prevention, improved brain and heart functioning, reducing symptoms and also prevention of depression, improved bone density, and much more. However, despite all these benefits, studies have found as many as three fourths of adults in the United States to have a Vitamin D deficiency. Many studies have found a deficiency to be linked to many serious health problems including: Multiple Sclerosis, certain cancers, athsma, certian flu strains, depression, osteoperosis, obesity, chronic pain, cardiovascular disease, inflammation, and more. The recommended daily intake of Vitamin D is 1000 IU, and this can be acheived through proper supplementation, 15 minutes of sunlight daily, and eating foods rich in Vitamin D (see the table below). *

*Note: Those taking medications including Corticosteroids (Prednisone), Cholesterol lowering drugs Quedran, LoCholest, and Prevalite, and those taking Phenobarbital and Phenytonin should not take vitamin D due to negative drug interactions.

Table 3: Selected Food Sources of Vitamin D
Food - IUs per serving* - Percent DV**

Cod liver oil, 1 tablespoon - 1,360 - 340

Salmon (sockeye), cooked, 3 ounces - 794 - 199

Mushrooms that have been exposed to
ultraviolet light to increase vitamin D,
3 ounces (not yet commonly available) - 400 - 100

Mackerel, cooked, 3 ounces - 388 - 97

Tuna fish, canned in water, drained, 3oz. - 154 - 39

Milk, nonfat, reduced fat, and whole,
vitamin D-fortified, 1 cup - 115-124 - 29-31

Orange juice fortified with vitamin D,
1 cup (check product labels, as amount
of added vitamin D varies) - 100 - 25

Yogurt, fortified with 20% of the DV
for vitamin D, 6 ounces (more heavily
fortified yogurts provide more of the DV) - 80 - 20

Sardines, canned in oil, drained,
2 sardines - 46 - 12

Liver, beef, cooked, 3.5 ounces - 46 - 12

Ready-to-eat cereal, fortified with
10% of the DV for vitamin D, 0.75-1 cup
(more heavily fortified cereals might
provide more of the DV) - 40 - 10

Egg, 1 whole (vitamin D is found in yolk) - 25 - 6

Cheese, Swiss, 1 ounce - 6 - 2

The U.S. Obesity Rate

A Fit Tip by Kaitlyn Weiss

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 67% of Americans are overweight or obese. Looking at the map below, it is alarming to see only 6 states with less then 22% of residents that are overweight or obese. Linked with these scary statistics are a rise in individuals diagnosed with diseases including heart disease, type II diabetes, and liver disease, to name a few; all of which can be fatal. Even more upsetting is the fact that 15-20,000 individuals die of malnourishment everyday in different parts of the world. So what can you do to change the fate of our growing nation? A good start is getting in exercise 3-5 times a week, and eating a healthy, balanced diet.

We are all here to help you reach your goals, and to provide you with the tools you need to achieve a healthier life. Let us know how can we help you?

A couple of new studies just released (thanks to Adam Campbell for forwarding):

STUDY 1 – The first one compared traditional weight training doing a set of one exercise, then resting and then repeating to a superset workout similar to the ones we use at Emerge Fitness Center (where you perform for example one set of presses, rest a period of time and then perform one set of rows before repeating). The researchers concluded that the superset group burned more calories per minute than the traditional weight training group and yielded more fat reduction. So if workout time is limited (which it is for most of us), and the goal is to drop some excess fat, a superset based workout may be superior.

STUDY 2- Taking that one step further, another study looked at three groups – a low intensity circuit training group, an endurance (cardio) only training group and a high intensity circuit training group. This study concluded that among the three groups, the high intensity circuit training showed the greatest reductions in body weight, percentage of fat mass , waistline, blood lactate (produced at 100 Watt during submaximal test) and greater improvement in 6RM in horizontal leg press and underhand cable pulldowns.
Both of these studies show that pairing or setting up a circuit of exercises using high intensity exercise, will be more effective for fat loss and weight reduction than doing pure endurance training. When we combine the two above studies – we can conclude that using a program like the ones at Emerge Fitness Center using supersets, within a circuit format will be the most effective fat loss strategy within the weight room.
Bottom Line: If your goal is to lose fat, set up all your resistance training in superset, triset or circuit (a term we use to describe 4 or more exercises) fashion to really maximize your results. If you add in some interval training (which is metabolically similar to the above type of training – high intensity work followed by a rest period) and clean up your diet, you’ll make great progress.
