Atlanta bootcamp style work,

Hello Atlanta Personal training, group and Friends and neighbors. As most of you who havee worked out and trained with me know how much I enjoy teaching and working in a boot camp style. I'm not a beliver in a machine based workout. In my opinion the boot camp style promotes the best results in the quickest period of time. Exercises like jump rope and pushups and work with dumbells build muscle in the quickest period of time. For work machines I like the Lat pull machine, Leg extension and the leg curl machine are among my favorites. I do these workouts both for my private and group sessions as much as possible.

Mixup that workout

Hello Atlanta group, always tell my people and when I work with my folks to switchup the workout from time to time, I suggest changing up exercises, reps, grips,duration of time of the workout etc about every 4 weeks. This called shocking your workout, give it a try in your workout program.

Atlanta personal trainer, to provide his top five fitness tips for increased energy and reduced stress to share with my Daily Dose of Happiness readers. Here is what we shared with the readership...

Atlanta Personal Trainer Fitness Tip #1:

Eat lean protein every three hours! Proteins main function: Help build and maintain healthy muscle. Which in-turn will help increase your metabolic rate to assist in burning body fat. Good sources: Egg Whites, Chicken Breast, Sirloin Lean Steak, Lean Ground Turkey, Fresh Fish, Protein Shakes.

Atlanta Personal Trainer Fitness Tip #2:

Walk around the block. There are many benefits to be gained from walking. These can include more energy, deeper and more satisfying sleep, stronger leg muscles, lower body fat, higher metabolic rate, and reduce stress! Everyday for 20-30 minutes at a brisk walk. Preferably first thing in the morning!

Personal Trainer Fitness Tip #3:

Stretch, Stretch, Stretch. Anytime, but at least once a day one week before the wedding. Increases flexibility, reduces stress, improve coordination, increase circulation and it feels good, just to name a few benefits. Hold each stretch for a minimum of 10-30 seconds, repeat 2-3 times.

Atlanta Personal Trainer Fitness Tip #4:

Avoid simple carbs! Their rapid absorption increases the chances of sugar converting to fat! Stay away from foods like: Bagels, pies, cakes, potato chips, many ready-to-eat cereals, white pasta, white bread, juice drinks with added sugar, alcohol, candy, soda pop, and syrup!

Atlanta Personal Trainer Fitness Tip #5:

Drink plenty of fresh, clean water. Yes, I know that you have probably heard this one over and over again. But there's a reason for that - it's that important! It aids in fat loss, detoxifies the liver & kidneys, & carries away waste from the body. It's recommended for best results to consume 8 10-ounce glasses of water per day.

The benefits of regular resistance training include:
Increased muscle strength, power, endurance and size
Increased bone density and strength, Reduced body fat, Increased muscle-to-fat ratio

Weight training tip, don't grip wieghts to tightly

Hello Atlanta Fitness group, one thing people ask me is how tight to grip the wieghts for the dumbells, and machine wieghts, I always tell people to grip only as tight as you need so the wieghts don't slip, I see lots of wieght lifers with there forarms quivering from holding on to tight. Just check yourself next time you lift wieghts.

Tips for working out, jogging during the winter

Hello Atlanta Fitness group, weather is getting cooler, remember is your running outsite that you loose more then 50 of your body heat though your head, so wear that hat when Running, Jogging or doing any physcal activity especially when the temperature goes below 40. Also still remember to drink plenty of fluids just because it not hot your body still needs hydration during physcal exercise and other activity

Build Muscle for Life and better health

Hello Atlanta Personal Training group, I found a another great article out http://webmd.com, hope you like and keep working Atlanta, Fitness with jeff Atlanta The Basics: Build Muscle for Better Health
Strength training is about more than getting buff
By Barbara Russi Sarnataro
WebMD Weight Loss Clinic-FeatureReviewed by Louise Chang, MD, MDWe all know how important cardiovascular exercise is -- how it's great for your heart, cholesterol, and blood pressure. And whether you choose to walk, bicycle, or jog, you know that any exercise that increases your heart rate helps you burn calories and melt away unwanted pounds.

But that's only half the equation.

For a balanced fitness program, strength training is essential. It can slow the muscle loss that comes with age, build the strength of your muscles and connective tissues, increase bone density, cut your risk of injury, and help ease arthritis pain.

"Strength training is very important, not just for your muscles but for your bones," says certified fitness trainer Debbie Siebers. "It's preventative for [bone-thinning] osteoporosis and other problems."

Studies from the CDC have found that muscle-building exercise can also improve balance, reduce the likelihood of falls, improve blood-sugar control, and improve sleep and mental health.

And let us not forget the weight-loss benefits. Not only does it make you look trimmer and shapelier, but building muscle also helps you burn calories -- even after your workout is done.

"Three to four hours after a strength-training workout, you're still burning calories," says Seibers, a creator of fitness videos including the "Slim in 6" series.

Strength training is especially important for dieters. When you lose weight, up to a quarter of the loss may come from muscle, which can slow your metabolism. Strength training helps you rebuild any muscle you lost by dieting -- or keep you from losing it in the first place.

Tails from the Personal Trainer

This article is written from the personal trainers perspective relaying my experiences about what clients are looking for, this is my story.
I had a potential client contact me about working with just one client six days week, eight hours a day. This would make sure this client ate right, exercised in various ways, weight training, stretching, aerobics, running etc. also doing tennis instruction and play, basket ball swimming and other recreational activities. Below is the email response that I sent to that potential client.
I appreciated the short conversation that we had, I just wanted to follow up with some thoughts that I had and some ideas for some strategies. I know that you were talking about a dedicated individual on a six-day plan to assist with exercise and nutrition etc. I would not be able to do this myself because of my commitments to my existing clients; I also believe that this might not be the best strategy for addressing the needs of your person. I believe that a better strategy would be to have a collection of trainers and fitness pro’s, taking your persons interest and needs and utilizing them as necessary. I have worked with clients that have had several fitness and exercise professionals. This strategy seemed to work better because each person brings different skills, strengths and knowledge to the table. Also keeps the workouts fresh and new, one of the biggest complaints is keeping things fresh and new and fun, multiply that by my understanding that you want one person 6 days a week for 6 to 8 hours is going to be very difficult to keep interesting. My proposal would be to use myself and several other fitness Pro’s and build a program around the strengths of these people and the interest of your client. Keeps the program fresh and you should always have someone available when you need them. Also makes it where if you need to change out a person, not so distributive to your clients.

My areas of experience.
Personal and group fitness training Certified Instructor
Tennis instruction. Certified Instructor
Running and Jogging, Jump Rope
Swimming, swimming instruction and swimming related exercise
Basketball, have a basketball-based workout, very fun and fast paced
Baseball/ Softball, I have access to batting cages and fields, again great fun exercise.
Football drills and exercise
Mountain biking
American Red Cross, CPR and First Aid classes completed

Conclusion from this email
Clients are looking for all kinds of things and have all kinds of goals, the goal for the trainer is try to take these requirements and build a program appropriate to the client.

Hope this is thought provoking for the fitness pro.

Take care

How can I avoid falling off my exercise routine?

Hello Atlanta Personal Training group and friends, I found a great article in Webmd, the link is at the bottom of the page. So many of my personal training clients ask me how do I keep up my fitness and exercise rountine, here are some great thoughts on the subject, now have a great work out. www.fitnesswithjeff.com, Atlanta

How can I avoid falling off my exercise routine? Answer:
Sticking with your exercise program regularly and consistently is your best bet for overall health. While there's no specific danger in starting and stopping over and over again, it's important to set personal goals and identify what motivates you to exercise. Even if there's been a long lapse in your sessions, you should do your best to get back to regular exercise as soon as you can.

For some, it's disease prevention. If a close family member has been affected by heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis, or cancer, that may be what motivates you to stay healthy and avoid the same path. Regular exercise reduces your risk of developing these and other diseases and will help you maintain a healthy body weight.

For others, living longer could be a motivator. Research has shown that exercise may extend the years of your life. It can greatly enhance your quality of living, too, by making regular day-to-day physical activities such as climbing stairs, carrying groceries, and vacuuming easier.

How you start an exercise program may greatly determine whether you stick with it. If you have started programs in the past only to quit a month later, pay careful attention to the following tips:

Set realistic goals. Don't try to run a marathon or lose 10 pounds in a month.
Begin slowly and try a number of different exercises. Limit the length of each session.
Use visualization daily: Picture yourself enjoying your workout and then feeling great when you've finished.
Schedule exercise and make it a top priority in your life. Write it down on your calendar and keep a daily exercise log.
Identify one exercise that you enjoy doing on most days. If you're traveling, maintain some kind of routine. Find a fitness center at the hotel, go for a swim, or take a long walk. You can also try strengthening exercises such as push-ups, sit-ups, calf raises, and lunges.
Don't feel guilty when you miss a session or two. Negative feelings will only hinder your motivation. Getting back on track will make you feel better.
If boredom is hindering your routine, try doing new exercises, pick a new sport, or recruit an exercise partner. The key is finding something you like and sticking with it.
Distractions -- such as reading, listening to music, or watching television while you work out -- can also help keep you motivated. Try exercising at a different time of day, or break up a workout schedule to include aerobic exercise in the morning and strength training at night.
Other tips include:

Buying an exercise tape that you find entertaining.
Scheduling several sessions with a personal trainer.
Joining an exercise class that has a lively instructor.
Overall, it's important to not get discouraged if you miss a week or two of exercise. It's never too late to get started again. When your program gets derailed, try to figure out what went wrong and learn from your mistakes. Best of luck and keep exercising!
