So with all the extra calories between candy and cocktails, pumpkin pie, and the extra serving of turkey, putting on weight is easy to do. Never mind trying to loose a couple pounds. So to put a halt on the weight gain, here are a few sure fire ways to do that :

Drink a glass of water before every cocktail and before hitiing the buffet table at the holiday party

Add 20-25 min of cardio (65-80% of Max heart rate) 2-3 times a week

Serve yourself small portions and try to have a small dinner salad with light dressing before your meals

Stock up on the veggies

Drink light beers

Stay away from sugary cocktails - have vodka with diet tonic or club with a lot fresh lime juice


Let face it, tryng to abstain from our favorite holiday foods impossible to do, so enjoy (in moderation!)

Benefits of Regular Exercise

The Incredible Benefits of Regular Exercise
You keep your skin clean. You condition your hair. You’re eating right. You’re doing all you can to look and feel great. But are you missing out on an important part of a healthier lifestyle?

No matter what your age or shape, you should exercise daily. Not only does exercise tone your body so you can wear your favorite jeans, it strengthens your muscles, keeps your bones strong, and improves your skin. And there are more benefits of exercise -- increased relaxation, better sleep and mood, strong immune function, and more. Let’s look at some of the incredible benefits of exercise, then talk about how you can get started.

Benefits of Regular Exercise: Weight Control
Because exercise helps use up oxygen, it causes your body to burn stored fat and helps you maintain a normal weight. For instance, if you walk 4 miles a day, four times a week, you can burn about 1,600 calories, or nearly half a pound a week. If you don’t change your diet at all and keep walking the same distance over six months, you'll lose 12 pounds. Walk the same distance for a year and you’ll drop 24 pounds!

The neat thing about exercise is you don’t have to do it all at one time. After all, not many teens have time to walk 4 miles after school! But you can do 4 miles in short bursts throughout your day. Here’s an idea of how to work that much exercise into your daily regimen:

Take a 1-mile walk on a treadmill before school. Then, take a 1-mile walk around the track during school lunch period.
Take a 1-mile walk after school with friends or the family dog.
Take a 1-mile walk on the treadmill while watching your favorite show before dinner.
If you stay with the walking program, you’ll see benefits with:

Weight loss
Muscle strengthening and definition
Stronger bones
A lower heart rate
Better mood
An improved complexion
Benefits of Regular Exercise: Stronger Muscles
Most people know that exercise keeps muscles strong. But did you know that strong muscles burn more calories? Muscle mass is metabolically active tissue. In other words, the more muscle mass you have, the more calories you burn even when you’re not working out.

Studies estimate that for each pound of muscle you add to your body, you will burn an additional 35-50 calories per day. So an extra 5 pounds of muscle will burn about 175-250 calories a day, or an extra pound of fat every 14-20 days.

Because guys have more muscle mass, they burn calories faster and lose weight more easily than girls. So girls need to work out daily to stay strong and in shape.

Benefits of Regular Exercise: Stronger Bones
Regular, moderate exercise -- particularly weight-bearing exercises like walking, running, jogging, and dancing -- keeps your bones strong. Studies show that resistance (strengthening) exercises also boost bone mass and keep muscles strong.

Share the Workout, with your kids!

Many people ask me if it's Ok to share a Personal Training session with there kids whether they are young children or Adults. For Adult Children the answer is a very simple yes. Sharing a session with adult child or even a another un-related adult gives the combination of advantages of sharing the cost, very important, for my clients at www.fitnesswithjeff.com can save more the 40% on the cost of a regular session per person. Secondly and more importantly builds a level of support for yourself and the other person, on days where I’m not coming out to do a session and where your not thrilled about working and might just say I won’t do it today the other person will hopefully step up and say lets hit the gym or the tennis cour etc. The more support a person has in there workout routine, diet or life style efforts the better. For personal training I recommend 2 times per week, now you should workout just about every day doing different exercises each day, please refer to my article entitled Workout routine, what to do on each day and that will cover the topic of what to do on each given day of the week.
Now getting back to whether to work out with your children under the age of 18 really depends on the relationship. Is there any tension in the relationship, this can usually manifest itself in the teen years and can be difficult to work though, but baring those kinds of issues, it can really be a win-win, for related family members living under the same roof, I usually will charge only a nominal amount more, maybe a couple of dollars more and if they purchase a package, I usually won’t charge any more, most personal trainers and tennis instructors, which I am, won’t either, so your kind of getting 2 for the price of 1, your learning the same things which hopefully will build a better foundation for doing the exercises or sport movements correctly and hopefully doing them more. Again you’re also building your self a level of support both for you and your child. For Sports like tennis, if your child takes lessons and you don’t, there getting better and you’re not so if you go to play with them, you might play them once and they will be much better then you and never do it again. Some of the happiest times I watch families together is out on the tennis court or basketball court, ball field etc. Good athletic fun builds good health habits and I feel stronger families. Also if you have the knowledge and can share it with your child that truly is a win-win, Remember you are the best coach, instructor, teacher your child can have. Have a great workout.

What to look for from your personal trainer

When looking for a personal trainer it all starts with finding the person that has the credentials, expertise and temperament to get you to your Fitness goals and objectives.
Not necessarily in this order but here are a few things to think about when searching for your Fitness trainer. Where did you find your fitness professional?, references from people you know and trust are always the best, Do they work in your area and can they demonstrate that they have trained people in your area for a reasonable period of time, do they have connections to the community (are they a business or are they just doing this on the side, along with this are they full time fitness pro's or again is this a side line. Are they certified and how many years have they been in business, can they demonstrate to your comfort that they know what there doing, trust your gut on this one. Also good if they can see you in action, this has been especially useful in my tennis practice, where people can see me work with people and hopefully get a good feel for me and what I do.
Do they have other fitness expertise, for instance I'm also a certified tennis instructor, but they can be martial arts experts or trained in physical therapy, yoga ect. Hope these thoughts will assist you on your search for a personal trainer for you. Good luck!...Fitness with jeff Atlanta.

Parents Are Turning To Personal Trainers For Help

should kids have a personal trainer?

With childhood obesity at epidemic levels and schools decrease in activity programs for kids and personal trainer can be a godsend to an overweight child.

To have the child make exercise a habit it would be appropriate to meet with a trainer at least 2 times a week for 30 days.

This is becoming a popular trend. Read more about it here at ABOUT:Exercise and here at the Washington Post.

According to the Washington Post personal rainers can help kids who don't enjoy organized sports or are embarrassed doing active things with fitter kids. You can use body mass index (BMI) to determine if your child is overweight or obese. (Find a child BMI calculator here.)
