HOLIDAY TIPS

no@spam.com (lynn Hahn) — Sat, 29 May 2010 00:00:00 CDT

It's another holiday weekend and all the temptations that go with Memorial Day feasts. Here are some tips to allow you to have fun but still eat healthy:

Portions rule! You can use the 80% rule and combine it with the portions rule and come out with a good health score.

Eating healthy 80% of the time usually adds up to a successful diet. Trying to be perfect is generally a set up for failure.

Using good portions and not going for "seconds" is the best plan.

A portion is generally a fist size. Nuts and seeds are the base of your palm not a hand full.

With that information you should be able to face any holiday meal with confidence.

Happy Holiday!

GREAT WEBSITE!

no@spam.com (lynn Hahn) — Tue, 18 May 2010 00:00:00 CDT

I'm new to this website and am so excited to be part of this community!

Having information from several fitness pros is such a plus. I've been in the industry for a few decades so I've seen "truths" about fitness come and go.

Getting several opinions, trying them out and finding what works for you is smart.

I hope that I'm able to contribute and help others choose to get healthy.

I have several ways of communicating with the public.

I have a blog and a podcast as well as a site called real womens fitness tips where I share information and link to other sites that have helpful information as well. All of them can be accessed on my website www.getrealfit.org

It takes a community to really influence people to take that big first step toward health. If we're all telling them to take care of themselves they're more likely to do so.

Thanks for letting me be a part of this community!

rest period

no@spam.com (Ralph Klisiewicz) — Tue, 26 May 2009 00:00:00 CDT

I have never figured a perfect rest schedule. It seems that at times my body needs several days to recovery from a workout or long day at the beach (playing sand volleyball) and there are other times that I feel better the next two days. In fact, after last volleyball season I decided to take a week off from all training. I did maybe 10 minutes on a recumbent bike. After that week I felt worse (stiff and with joint pain) than at the very end of season. So much for validity in literature…….

Sand training

no@spam.com (Ralph Klisiewicz) — Sun, 24 May 2009 00:00:00 CDT

I just finished this morning my routine in sand that I have been developing. I ran Sprints in between volleyball poles. I also set up a triangle and sprint 5 times in one direction, go back to some interval sprints and run triangle 5 times in the other direction. In between each running exercise I also do slow deep squats. Slow squat throw a nice curve ball at the routine. They also take away from the stress placed on the body by explosive exercises and make the routine more complete.

Pilates session

no@spam.com (Ralph Klisiewicz) — Wed, 20 May 2009 00:00:00 CDT

Yesterday I did my first reformer one-on-one Pilates session. Although I was skeptical of it at first, I really did enjoy it. I think Pilates is a good method of progressing through ranges of motion. As MAT specialist, I hate forcing body into ranges of motion (ie passive stretching). However, the Pilates instructor was very careful at PROGRESSING. I have explained to her that I will only do things that my body is comfortable with (I am not very flexible). She agreed. As I performed each exercise I moved farther and farther into each range of motion, and as a result I felt looser after the session. This was exactly what I was looking forward to.

trianing on the sand

no@spam.com (Ralph Klisiewicz) — Tue, 19 May 2009 00:00:00 CDT

Now that the weather has gotten better here in Chicago, I began training on sand. Sand provides many advantages. The sand its self is a resistance through which your feet have to work. Therefore, feet muscle are getting great workout. Additionally, the sand reduces impact usually associated with running or playing sports on hard surface.

You also do not need much equipment. set up some cones (or place shoes) in strategic positions and of you go. For upper body, you can bring a MB ball and throw it around with a training partner.

Integrative Exercsie

no@spam.com (Ralph Klisiewicz) — Fri, 15 May 2009 00:00:00 CDT

I often used the term integrative training when I train several muscle group or several movement chains. The term "integrative" is far more accurate than the more popular term "core". Many trainers think that when they make their client stand on bosu ball, their client are training their core. However the muscles group that is being train is the one that is the weakest in that movement/position chain. Therefore, two clients performing the same exercise may feel the different areas being worked. The term “Integrative” accounts for all muscles groups and movement chains involved in exercises. In addition, the term “integrative” suggest that you are training a system versus a unit. So, I place someone on a bosu and make them squat, and they ask me what is this working? My reply would be, ability to squat on the bosu. More specifically we are integrating all muscle groups that allow one to squat on an unstable platform and making that movement stronger.
