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.
