IN THIS ISSUE: 1. Greetings
from the Editor
Dear Fitness Friends, The month of February just flew by, and I don't know where it went! I started this newsletter and then things came up which prevented me from finishing it at one sitting. Today is the first day of March, and I realized I hadn't finished it, so I'm combining February and March into one issue. I do have to say that I've been busy doing my personal training at LA Fitness, and I also never neglected my own workouts. Life has been going at a fast pace for me, but I am not complaining in the least. I now get to talk the talk that I've been walking for years. It is very rewarding helping people work toward acheiving their fitness goals. If you have any fitness questions, do not hesitate to let me know. This month I hope you find a new activity, exercise routine or a new class at the gym. Movement is the key! If you haven't used a stability ball, I hope you read the article below and check out the links to the stability ball videos. I wish you all the health & happiness!

5 Tips You Can Implement Today To Help You Lose Fat Quicklyby Emile Jarreau One of the main reasons folks fail to lose weight
when on a diet is lack of motivation. It is so easy for us
to just fall back into our old routines rather than follow
a consistent steady plan of action to achieve real fat loss
success. If we can make our ROUTINE something that is healthy
and promotes weight loss, then we can stop worrying about being
motivated and simply do our “normal routine” and
lose all the weight we want. 1. Always East Breakfast - Many time, those on a diet choose to skip breakfast thinking that the lack of calories will lead to weight loss. The fact is, when you DON’T eat, your body goes into survival mode and it tries to store the calories you eventually eat as fat. So, your plan actually ends up backfiring and you gain weight, not loseit. 2. Steam your veggies - When you sauté your vegetables in butter, you allow them to soak up all the bad fat making your once healthy veggies little piece of fat stuffed junk. Instead, just steam them and top with a dash of salt and pepper. All the flavor of the vegetables will be there without the fat. 3. Stop Late night snacking - If you are going to sleep, you DON’T need extra calories. Fight off those late night cravings by having a glass of warm tea before bed instead of those cookies or pie. Doing so can help you get rid of thousands of worthless calories from your diet each and every month and help you lose fat quickly. 4. Eat healthy when you are hungry, then stop - Your body is designed to tell you when it is full. Most of the time, it is our cravings and overindulgence that allows us to keep eating long after our bodies tell us we are full. Listen to what your body is telling you and just eat to the point that you are satiated. This amount will be the perfect amount for your body to have the energy it needs without excess calories that will be stored as fat. It is ok to eat multiple times during the day as long as the food is healthy. This helps to keep your metabolism working. 5. Move as much as you can - Yes, this means EXERCISE! If you can walk versus ride, do it! Jog wherever you go. The more steps you can include in your daily routing, the more calories you will burn. Add to this a regular program of vigorous exercise such as jumping rope, running, or weight training and you can burn thousands of extra calories per week. In addition, and muscle you build will act to burn calories even when you are not working out. The above represent just a few fat loss suggestions, but if followed consistently, they can be your answer to quick and significant fat loss. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* "No matter who you are, no matter what you do, you absolutely, positively do have the power to change." ~~ Bill Phillips *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Read a review and see why you shouldn't wait any longer to get a Vita-Mix!

Well, although kids might find them fun to play with, stability balls are actually a very effective exercise tool! Whether you're just getting started or looking for next big thing, the following information will be beneficial to you. You might be thinking that "Exercise on a ball seriously?" Yup - stability ball training is "serious" - seriously effective, and seriously fun! It's amazing the ways you can challenge your body in ways you never thought on an inflatable piece of rubber! You might be a bit skeptical, especially when bombarded with infomercials for "the newest equipment and programs". But, unlike the "newest" fad, stability balls actually got their start with physical therapists and orthopedic specialist looking for tools to help rehabilitation - back in the 1900's! Besides being a great tool for treatment and rehabilitation of injuries, they are also used to help prevent more serious physical problems prior to their occurrence. Stability balls are large, heavy-duty, inflatable balls that are generally rated to hold up to 600 or 700 pounds. And, they are comfortable and supportive, since they conform to your unique anatomy due to being air-filled. Using the ball makes it easy to get into and out of different exercise positions because it gets you off of the floor. Stability balls offer you a fun, safe and highly effective way to exercise. The ball is a great way to improve muscle strength and endurance in all of the major muscle groups. Training with the ball improves muscle tone, increase muscle endurance and strength, restore or improve flexibility, enhance spinal stability, complement your resistance and aerobic training programs, help you lose weight, and lastly, improve your balance, posture and coordination. Maintaining proper alignment on the ball stimulates your body's natural motor reflexes and encourages the body to react as a whole, integrated unit. Movement like this is similar to how you move about in a normal day - and training on the ball challenges the whole body to maintain correct posture and balance, and to perform dynamic exercise movement. When using the ball correctly, your body uses not only your major muscle groups, but also utilizes various "stabilizer muscles" that may not have been previously challenged using traditional exercise equipment. Not only does this help you increase overall muscle strength, but those "stabilizer muscles" help you keep your body in proper position during your other workouts, helping you to avoid injury. As you work out on the ball you will find that it is especially effective in targeting your abdominal and lower back muscles. The ball is especially well-suited to improving ab and lower-back strength, as well as to bettering functional strength, flexibility and balance. Even while training other muscle groups, the ab and back musculature is simultaneously working to balance and stabilize the body. Strong postural muscles and proper posture are important for relieving and preventing low-back pain. The ball is ideal for stretching and offers additional options to traditional static stretching. Traditional stretching usually requires you to stretch on the floor and it can be difficult to move into and out of stretching positions. The brilliance and simplicity of the stability ball is rolled into one word--balance! Because the ball demands balance, you'll work muscles you never knew you had or challenge them in different ways. The challenge of maintaining perfect posture, on a round and mobile surface--is exhilarating, fun and incredibly effective in building functional strength, and challenging your ab and back muscles like never before! So, add a stabilizer ball to your next workout—and have a ball!
