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.
